I didn't see the syslog and trap alerting engines getting integrated in the newest betas (11.6 and 6.3) so I wrote within NPM syslog and trap alerts that tie to NPM NodeID (node has to exist or be added), then you can use node custom properties. See content post here

Is there a specific service/process that runs on port 7000 that you could monitor? what are you specifically trying to accomplish? I ask because you can OOB process monitor and alert on the instance count.. even gives details of each instance. HTHelps.

I'd love to know this as well as how the "alert was re-activated" piece works.

Great question. I'd love to hear the answer as well. it would be nice if there was a flag indicating Dell OM or Cisco Env., etc. responds

Thanks, I ended up opening a ticket and we trimmed the DB some. Turns out it was an issue where I didn't have enough "reserved memory" for VM. had max allocated set but uses java where it can't allocate memory fast enough and that was killing my maintenance or DB file rotation so the disk filled up. had to set minimum to…

what version are you running? in 10.7, you would open an active alert and go to the trigger and reset actions, open the email action and at the bottom of email/pager tab it gives you "From E-Mail Account" section with "Name" and "Reply Address". This is where you'd edit them. if you are DB savy or have a DBA that can help,…

<FROM SEDMO's original SQL> SELECT Caption, SysName, IP_Address FROM Nodes WHERE((Caption <> SysName) AND (SysName <> '')) ORDER BY Caption This query will update the node caption field to whatever value is currently in the sysname field. update nodes set caption = sysname + ' - ' + Commentswhere caption in (SELECT Caption…

perhaps you can look at escalation and have the criteria be ack'd. I haven't played with escalations...so not sure if it gives you another set of trigger criteria...? how are you with SQL? or do you have a DBA at your disposal? I can think of a few ways to do this, but fairly complex if the above doesn't pan out...feel…

I would guess WMI or SNMP depending on which your system is configured to use for a given node...

what type of alert is it -> trigger tab -> top part? (application? component?) if you go into email message in alert trigger action, click on insert variable...is that variable available? if so, double click and insert into email message. preface macro with notes for testing... i.e. swinsert-macro: ${<macro inserted by…

note on where to put the custom icons in atlas 9.5 so they are in the DB and you do not have to copy them on every machine...see KB article http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1189

make a copy of the report open the report in notepad/wordpad/etc and edit the query directly OR copy the SQL from the original query and recreate as custom SQL report

ticket 201578 - FYI

perhaps not that level, but it is HTML based and customizable from that perspective but can't get pics/images in there.

USN 92-96 submariner Thank you to all who were/are willing to write the check and the families/loved ones that support(ed) them! Happy Vets Day!

I am running 2k8 SQL on 2k8 server enterprise with no issues, even on VM.

did you try the extra single quote? (i see you tried quotes, but wanted to verify). please post screenshot of your query so far...

is administratively shutting the ports down not an option?

as long as the IP address/port does not change [& instance name if used], it should be transparent to the SW software. I have migrated SQL several times. The only potential gotcha is ensuring the appropriate user(s) account is set up before pointing Orion to it. good luck

I eagerly await answers to this...I sometimes find my pollers have "gone to lunch" using 95% of CPU or something, usually after a few months of running after an upgrade or something (may or may not be related to tuning :). It would be NICE to have an option to auto-tune or manual so if auto -> auto adjusts recommended…

assuming columns are integers: select c1, c2, ... column1+c2+c3...c(n) as rowTotal From blahblahblah...

I think it needs to be a user/server thing, because I have 2 addt'l polling engines and can get to the 2 "internals" from each other, but not the "external". The difference is the 2 "internals" are on the domain and I have local admin rights logging into the domain. The "external" one is NOT using the domain login, only…

off top of my head, you could create a view per map (don't know if feasible for your environment), then use links to go to group you want. might be able to do something with custom properties and macros to generate links....

I have a complex solution. I have a NPM custom SQL report that gives me the status as in below image: This is complex because I run a SQL job that matches the NCM node to the NPM node and populates a custom field in the NCM DB called OrionNodeID. Let me know if you are interested and I'll upload all the necessary…

I believe you can do this within report writer (maybe just to same SQL box as long as permissions are right on other DB). then you could add that report to a view. i have a query that pulls NCM info into a report for orion simply because the NCM report writer does not have the flexability that NPM does. see attached…

I had [maybe] same issue...turned out I applied appInsight like I would a template and it no likey. I ended up removing that, going in and doing a list resources to apply. That worked for me. see this thread if you want the play by play.

this is a known issue, open a case and reference case # 827496 as example. they can then get you the fix when it is ready.

this would be useful across the board actually...if no response or down, go to fast-poll.

I think you may need to configure the remote device and set the statistics interval to match NPM. If the device only rolls up and presents stats every 15 min, this is what you will get. you can also check the "raw data" if you click on the graph to verify what data the device is returning to you. Another thing to consider…

I don't know of a clean way to do this, but I wrote a script to do that for my Cisco Serial Numbers.... you need to be pretty proficient with SQL and have appropriate DB access. my example is below: !!! ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DB BEFORE MANUAL WORK !!! ################################# ################################# ## SET…
