Thanks! I needed that today.

I have a functioning Postman collection if you want it.

It's done in Django and I'm happy to share the code if anyone wants. Right on, a fellow python man. I'd be very interested in seeing the code! =) Shoot me a message via thwack or email @ sklassen at sigmasolinc dot com?

It's not the most fun thing to do, but you could create an application alert and then in the email message call a SQL function receives the ApplicationID & NodeID as its parameters that returns one big concatenated string with all the components and their statuses. You happen to be SQL savvy?

You're missing the required Write-Host with a numeric statistic. If you don't have any interesting numbers to report back to the SAM template, use zero as I've done below. To aLTeReGo's point, make sure you're use a valid credential and checking the box below that that says "impersonate" so it's running with the right…

Ah, then in that case you could pass that information with a custom property. It would be a little odd, potentially being the same for every node in your inventory, but that would do the job. The command would be written like: myscript.vbs ${Node.User} ${Node.Pass}

Right, but the question is: how many errors were on that particular device in the last hour? I'm trying to determine if it's extra bad data or a formatting issue.

That being said, I guess I would expect this type of functionality to be part of an NMS. Most other NMS's I have worked with (OpenNMS and OpenView most recently) were able to let me know when my nodes were no longer being monitored as I had set them up to be, specifically with regard to SNMP data collections. Having a…

Good point; I keep meaning to hit up the content exchange with things. I'll block out some time.

You have time for a gotomeeting session?

Is your database in a country that uses that as its date format? I don't think it's SolarWinds moving the numbers around. Do you have access to the database to do something like a: SELECT warrantydate FROM Nodes; to see what it looks like?

Hi there, sure - you can create a custom property of type float and put the offset in there. For example, -8 for PST, -6 for CST, etc. By using float you can accommodate locations that a half-hour time difference as well. Then when you create your reports, you can start with the UTC version of the date time stamp, add the…

Dynamic is the way to go for sure; at the very least you could have a scheduled task in the database copy the values from the component to a node custom property so you have the per-node maximum. I'll see if I can hack together some SQL for you when I get back into the customer site Monday morning.

It surely would.

It is my understanding that the alert triggers are not put in a queue. If an alert is triggered, then it goes to the alert action, and if the alert action Time-of-Day requirement is not met then it will not complete that action. Is there someone who could verify this?

I hear you. If you want a hand with a standalone solution, give me a shout.

Is IP supposed to be uppercase?

Oh, well. *facepalm* What aLTeReGo​ said, then.

It still smacks of the issue I had the other day. Poke around the other VIM_ tables and look for NULLs?

Alright, some thoughts from the entity that is zackm​: * If you really need to write to an external file on a share, you're going to have to bump it up to PowerShell (Execute an External Executable) and pass the information you need on its command line that it can then hand off to that file because it won't have the…

I threw it out there and didn't get any bites but things have been hectic the last few days with Seattle SWUG and travel, etc. Let me run it by zackm​ this morning specifically and see what we can shake out. -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/…

Hey there, did you mean to include a link to a script for me to look at?

And, if you have a specific request, I can always send tdanner​ a PR with an example from my bag of scripts here.

Do you have a couple different perl binaries on your system? You could put ${SCRIPT} in the command box and add an invocation line to your script with the path to the one you intend to use (e.g., #!/usr/bin/perl).

I don't have any examples to offer unfortunately. At a high level you need to: * Pull the web page. * Parse out the bit you want. * Echo out 'Statistic: <your queue value>' * Exit with a 0 exit status. If you have a unix machine handy that responds to SSH you can use the linux/unix script component instead of the vbscript.…

Absolutely - I update custom properties using REST in my Go & python applications all the time. I haven't tried it with the PowerShell cmdlet though I can't imagine why that would be failing. Let me give that a try and get back to you here shortly.

Sorry DS, didn't mean to derail your question. I honestly don't know - but from the sounds of it it doesn't do anything destructive. Point it at a few of your WMI queries and see if you get reasonable perfmon counters out of it. You don't have to delete the old ones.

I'm looking at examples I have for API calls and none of them have /api/ in the URL. Are you sure that's the URL you're using?

I wrote the examples for that too.
