I *BELIEVE* alertObjects only gets populated after an instance of an alert has triggered, thus, if a specific alert has yet to trigger for a node, it will not show up based on your query. I also *Think* the new beta 12.0 has a resource that tells you for a given node what alerts it is eligible to trigger...but verify that…

to point #1: I had a very similiar issue as 1, but my drive for the logs was only 10GB. I truncated and truncated the log files but it kept growing back (using backup log NetPerfMon with truncate_only dbcc shrinkfile (NetPerfMon_log,1 ) I ended up truncating and moving (so don't have to wait for large file to copy) the log…

sure...SQL knowledge will allow you to unlock a whole other level of potential within SW. ***** DISCLAIMERS::: this is not supported by SW. ***** ALWAYS test work in a sandbox, not your production DB...and always backup your DB prior to work. and there are tons of ways to do most everything... Update ncp SET…

yea, not clear on what you are looking for. when you reply though, I'll get an email saying you updated and I can look at that.

Great point. I too have enabled the automatic indexing. I still have many tables that are in various %s of defrag based on maintenance logs. I've even run maintenance a few times to see results - to no real avail. I'd love to hear what happens with your ticket NG. Thx!

The reason this is happening is because the red dot indicates child status. propagation up, by default (as lag wrote) is objects on the map. Thus, if you wanted the individual interfaces status to be sent up, you would either change settings via lag's suggestion or you could map the individual interfaces as objects on a…

if you want to do via sql mgmt studio -> backup your database. --use this section to see how many rows there are needing updated use NetPerfMon select * from Nodes where engineid=3 --use this section to change those rows use NetPerfMon update Nodes set engineid=1 where engineid=3

agreed, I am currently doing it manually, but have done the batch/script route in the past. here is sample - you'll have to tweak for your environment....

I'd like to request a feature that would query all of the installed nodes/components and ouput on web or somewhere convenient. I have NPM, NCM, NF, APM with additional polling engines and it would be nice for this to be simple to ensure staying up to date on patches, etc...

I do believe the rest of the alerts (where configurable thresholds are) fall under component alerts this is excerpt from one of my alerts:: Component: Top Indexes for Database (NetPerfMon) App: MSSQLSERVER Component Msg: Statistic Data: AlertName: WarningSW - Component Warning AppID: 644 CompID: 5308 Threshold Settings (if…

If you are SQL savvy you can do the following as well....as always, back up your DB prior to having any fun... to test prior to...use select instead of update/set select * from Nodes where RWCommunity = '' BELOW will set the RW community for ***ALL*** Nodes xxxxxx = your RW community string update Nodes set RWCommunity =…

I'm still having issues getting it registered..should that be C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\...? Thanks EDIT - yea that worked...I thought it didn't work the other day when I was working on it so jumped the gun on the post.

this post discusses tweaking it for your environment as well

I have "customers" log in and I create a custom view with a map. I'll name that view the customer name, and associate their map to that view. Then in their credentials, I make that view their home page. I also use limitations to ensure they only see what they should see, like indicated

give me this weekend to try and build something automated in SQL. If you don't hear back, I didn't get a chance.

Basically, when it shows up in the map, it shows unknown type and I'd like to be able to have it specify the purpose of the node for clarity with my network operations. See pic - if I can get it in the post. long and short is I have ping test points (ICMP ONLY nodes) that give me round trip time info per virtual ckt and I…

I will give that a try and let you know. Thanks for the heads up.

I'd say that's exceptionally large. you can run a job to prune all but xx configs (check requirements for compliance and auditing first though).

great point mharvey, I forget about that tool. Chris, I'll try and make time to do the sql that will replace his email and leave the rest in tact. that would probably be useful to others as well.

do you have a SQL DBA that you go to for the database part of your implementation? They'd run it for you if it is not supposed to be you You'd want to work with them to ensure you don't reset all of the entries that may not match the same, again, they should be able to help you with that.

to piggyback off mharvey... Update ActionDefinitions Set Target = 'To:youremail@yourdomain.com CC: BCC: SMTPServer:yourSMTPserver SMTPPort:25 EnableSSL:False Format:HTML' Where ActionType = 'Email' and Target like '% @yourcompany.com%' it is definitely more difficult to find/replace just that email. If I have time, I'll…

SW, based on the way the polling engines stats sheets are broken out, is this in addition to other "module" polling capabilities? so could I have 7k element monitors giving me 70% "polling rate" PLUS 7k SAM component monitors for 70% "SAM Application Polling Rate"..etc...?

This is pretty typical for SQL. My instance is chewing about 7GB RAM. You can limit it in SQL memory properties if you need to, BUT that may cause poor performance. be careful.

That is an option. Thanks for the reply.

I will work on this (next week) if nobody gets it before hand. do me a favor, send me a reminder like monday or tuesday or call my cell.

good one, also when checking the device regularly, see if any thing has been added - new interfaces, removed, etc....(like adding a blade to a 6500 switch). Thanks

FYI, this UnDP didn't work for me for my routers, but the UnDP here did. good luck

That's great info. Thanks for the link!

you should also be able to manage this via snmp/syslog based on interfaces going down, etc... OR you could look into IPSLA. not sure about how often/interval it will let you do it, but worth checking out maybe.
