Orion uses the field "Caption" as the hostname of the device by default (I'm almost certain). The Caption is pulled from the network device from the "hostname" of the cisco device PLUS the domain name of the device. example... router(config)# hostname test test(config)#domain name help.com Thus, Orion would pull for the…

thanks for posting the fix!

Thank you all for responses and assurances!

this is a tricky one to be sure. I can't figure out how to uniquely trigger b/c single object [node] tied to. I've had the alert email send the last 5 minutes worth of messages successfully within the alert email... still digging. fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm needing to address a very similar issue so am able to…

Personally, after doing backup, I took the DB offline on the original server. COPIED the DB to the new server and added DB to the new server pointing it to .mdf file (ensure .ldf goes with it).

yea, without that pool, no love. If critical and can't wait for the support process to work through, do a diag and send up via leapfrog, then I'd uninstall NPM (all components of), then reboot, then reinstall. if that does not work, uninstall ALL SW products (modules, etc) then reboot, the reinstall. I've never seen the…

I was referring to alert escalation, but gave caveat that I was not familiar with its capabilities, not using them currently

Yo! ditto on the DB stuff (my vote to move up on the priority list :). Please put me on the beta list again. thx

Age old cisco problem. They dynamically number their tunnels, not virtually, thus you can't statically track them via OIDs or anything. the tunnel IDs change every life cycle. Juniper uses Virtual interfaces...My company is actually moving to juniper for shared VPN tunnels (we don't own both sides) b/c otherwise we are…

aLTeReGo, is this on the roadmap, or shall I put a FR in? Thx!

bummer. alright. Thanks for the help!

Create a custom poller and assign to interfaces

if you are using the full netobjectId, then it will be unique regardless of object type b/c of object Identifier (OI) if you strip out the OI, then use that to determine which table you should query to get the object. if you have not looked at my example stored procedure I linked above, that will give you a working example…

no worries, thanks for responding!

good to know. This broke for me when I updated to 9.0, but I have not updated to 9.1 yet, so...my implementation may be off in that area.

check this one...create report and use that within your page

:) the beauty of forums!

excellent, thanks. 

it would seem most prudent at this point. I have gone back and forth, using ${ackalertlink?} macro and it worked, but didn't create the link [display text] properly and would show the actual URL and not the text. now it shows the text properly, but seems it is not using the "webservers" table like it used to for the server…

great workaround. my point is I have my "polls per second tuning" set to recommended and I'm getting this notice. Is the tuner not set to account for UDT polls yet? is there a rule of thumb to use to account for this?

it does look through details of message. I've successfully included/excluded as needed based on details of msgs.

what is the event viewer "structure" for the logs you want to evaluate? only the top level are visible to SW/presented to WMI. I've had my rear handed to me by it not being in that top tier structure. here is a workaround if yours is not... event logs generally available to queries are root levels under "Windows Logs" and…

on the (cisco) firewall, you should be able to do what is called a capture. You will have to define an interesting traffic ACL and apply that to the targeted interface. You can run multiple on the device, one per interface. your interesting traffic can be very specific or very general...since you know the specifics - it…

bonus! glad it worked for you!

when using snmp, for simple security, we use community strings for version 1 and 2c. typically, you/your org would change those strings to something custom. Again, this is a basic level of security so that if anyone were able to query your devices, they'd have to know your custom community string to access the information.

If I understand what you're asking, you want to create a custom field "from scratch" and then want to fill all of the rows for that column with a given value. I think the best way to do this is either through SQL manager or through Orion's Database manager -> select the table you want to update. choose the column name you…

I like the darker green and red shiny. thx

appears to be broken in 12.0 as well. aLTeReGo​, can you or someone comment? This is useful to help minimize the number of email actions...i.e. (a group or two want an email to ticketing system on critical alerts - not standard for us as a call goes out). This would go in BCC field ${SQL:select ticketemail from…

Here you go - 2 SQL scripts, one for testing and one for updating. These will run through alertDefinitions table and replace any instance of <a@b.com> with <x@y.net> in the "target" column Let me know how it works! http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-167531
