That is true however if the powershell script was editable we could write it to ignore specific databases. Here is a DAG Health powershell script that my Exchange engineers run daily that has an ignorelist. Get-DAGHealth.ps1 - Database Availability Group Health Check Script‌ It also uses Test-ReplicationHealth cmdlet. But…

SET @StartDate = '2015-09-15 07:00' SET @EndDate = '2015-09-15 19:00' This is an absolute date range. How would it be written if I wanted to run this report monthly but only sample data from business hours? Monday through Friday 7:30am to 5:30pm.

My support case was closed. There is no way to do a custom SQL count on this table by either custom SQL alert trigger or custom SQL macro. I even had support escalate to the developers who don't even know how the custom macro works. Theres no documentation on it and nobody knows how it works. I'm very disappointed that…

Is there any way to replace the self signed certificate used in the Remote Execution Enable for Powershell tool or the Zero Configuration Wizard? We have to apply AppInsight monitors to hundreds of servers and its great that you have utilities to simplify the deployment process but it appears to only work with your self…

I've been running the SW agent in my env for 3 months now across 100 servers so far. I haven't had a single agent issue of any kind. Everybody is against agents until they fully understand the benefit.

I developed the script in Powershell ISE and it runs fine without errors there. This test case below is where the application is off and the telnet connection should fail resulting in Exit code 1. No script errors. Here is the same script being test executed in SAM. Get Output Failed But look when I ONLY change "Exit 1" to…

This is exactly what I do when I build custom APMs. A simple 'select 1' will give you proof of life. I use the same credential the application uses too so I can 'monitor' that as well.

rogdog​ Are you using LDAP or SAML authentication?

You say Alert Central doesn't generate the alert but simply routes the alert. From my evaluation of AC it would accept incoming alerts from NPM and completely repackage the outgoing alerts with its template that cannot be modified or disabled. I would love for AC to simply route alerts as you say without molesting them. Is…

There is also no indication if WMI or SNMP polling is no longer successful and the volume data you are looking at is stale. LAST POLL TIME does not indicate success or failure, merely attempt.

Unfortunately the node is always going to be up if NPM knows the LastBootTime has changed. So that condition would negate 100% of the alerts from firing.

No we don't need it but my organization has fought me hard on reboot alerts. I feel they just generate noise and provide little value.

Using the alert variable wizard you can select an object to populate values in the valid variables. This helps you identify the variables that are not valid. Try selecting your node in question and see if you can populate the values before selecting the variable. Screenshots of how your entire alert definition is…

Fast forward 6 years and this behavior is still present in the current version of SAM 6.9. I really don't agree that exit code 1 should behave this way. SAM oputputs the following upon exit 1 "The return code is different than expected. Testing on node '#.#.#.#' failed with 'Down' status ('Down' might be different if…

Would this method work for UCS C240 servers?

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread. Was FB87976 ever added to SAM 6.3?

I don't agree with the strategy that you cannot modify an application monitor once assigned to a node. Create your application template with your HTTP/HTTPS components, deploy them to your nodes and then go back and customize the URL for each one. Its the same amount of work as your custom property method except my method…

Could you imagine if DirectLink had SAM Admin rights? lol

Assigning a static component ID only works for a single server. Most larger enterprises have application monitors assigned to multiple servers hosting a single application. I use a custom SQL variable to lookup the component ID of any Windows service that is within the same application monitor based upon name of the…

Hes not restarting SWO services. Hes talking about child objects under Nodes. When a node is down all SAM monitors assigned to that node should have a status of UNKNOWN or UNREACHABLE. What is the trigger condition of your alert for the application monitor? If its looking for a condition of NOT UP that would explain this.…

You're using parenthesis when variables use curly brackets. And if that still doesn't work try the full length variable that you can find from searching the variables within the body of the message. ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.CustomProperties.YourPropertyName}

Thanks for posting this Malik but the pictures do not work.

When I run this query against my Sybase servers I just get a static value of 40. It never varies.

* Replace syslog/trap with the functionality from our new Log Manager product Does this mean NPM will no longer accept syslogs and traps without Log Manager?

I used this to PS script to send test syslogs to Splunk. Thank you!

This is brilliant and allows us to replace Alert Central which is absolutely horrible. Thank you for sharing.

I'm very happy to see DELL EMC VPLEX finally on the official road map. Is this being added to SRM 6.6 or 6.7?

ecklerwr1​ Do you have any write ups or documentation that you followed to set that up?

Thank you for posting this. It appears this script requires the Node ID in the CSV file to function. Is there anyway for the script to lookup the NodeID from just the hostname or IP?

I don't see any advantage to separating the two layers. However if the server is in the DMZ I would use a different account for both Node/App monitors than the rest of your environment (or use the Agent). That way if your DMZ server is compromised your internal WMI cred wont be.
