Hi Nicole, Sadly they're all servers. The search/report functionality is one of the weakest parts I've seen in EventSentry. I want to be able to write a report for the user's who have logged into a server, but I want to use wildcards in the user ID. For some reason, EventSentry will only let me do all users, or I have to…

I've attached a report I've just thrown together in the Report Writer since that allows grouping by Node. It's based on the Top 20 volumes on my network based on Volume % Used. I think there's a way to show a report as a resource on a page, so you may get some mileage from going about it that way. Not sure it's quite as…

See page 130 (or 146, depending on if you use the Acrobat page number to jump there, or the printed page number!) of http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OrionCoreAdministratorGuide.pdf

I'm not sure I'd agree with that statement... I am English and a big user of the 24 hour clock. Most English documentation is in 24 hour format (timetables, TV listings, etc) so I'd say it is a part of English Culture; at least in terms of written times. About the only time we resort to a 12 hour clock is in spoken…

I have something like this set up in an attempt to replicate HP Insight Manager. You can create sub-Condition Groups under the main Condition Group, if that makes sense. See if the following helps:

If you can, it may be worth showing a few more decimal places. Edit the report and go to Field Formatting, click on the % utilisation fields (have to do this one field at a time), check the Format is set to Numeric Data, then change the Format String to be 0.000 for 3 decimal places. You may see some differences there. If…

Hi Jeff, Sorry, this isn't the answer... What the OP and myself are after is a way of setting the Default view to be both. At present, NTA always shows up with Ingress as the default setting. Generally I find this view less than useful due to the characteristics of our network so I'd prefer the default view to be Both; and…

Hi Mav, +1 for this feature. One of the most annoying ommissions in SolarWinds at present!

Even simpler... Mine just uses a trigger condition of: Last Boot has changed

OK, I think what you want to do is delete your "Trigger Alert when none of the following apply" and then all the lines that start with "Caption". Then add a new simple condition which will be "VolumeType is equal to Fixed Disk" (The Fixed Disk part is a drop down with all possible volume types listed. I've noticed that on…

Sorry, to also add; serial numbers can be obtained from OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.3

OK, coffee just about absorbed and the wonderful OUTER JOIN remembered. Give this a try... SELECT DISTINCT Nodes.Caption FROM Nodes LEFT JOIN Volumes ON Nodes.NodeID=Volumes.NodeID WHERE (Volumes.Caption IS NULL) AND (Nodes.Vendor = 'Windows') The (Nodes.Vendor = 'Windows') may want some tweaking. I use it to not display…

3rd-ed! I have raised this in the SAM Feature Requests board as well, but no-one from SolarWinds has responded as of yet

Do we still get points for every download of our uploaded content?

Should be able to do it by going to the Field Formatting tab, click on Average CPS in the Select a Field... list, then put the number 0 in the Format String field and that should reformat as you want it. (If you wanted a decimal place or 2 just put 0.0, 0.00, etc in that field). This currently works for me, so if that…

There is an "Unmanage Scheduling Utility" on the SolarWinds server. On my install the shortcut is on the Start menu under SolarWinds Orion > Advanced Features. To quote from the software: What you can do with the Schedule Unmanage Utility: * Create a task to unmanage Orion nodes, applications, and interfaces for a custom…

Hi Declan, Sounds like you migth get some benefit from the Network Traffic Analyser product, of which there is a free version. NTA uses Cisco's Netflow system to provide details on flows of traffic between endpoints. Netflow takes a little configuring, but there is a Netflow Configurator in the Engineer's Toolset (not sure…

You missed off Alert Central!!!

Blocks of IP addresses are issued to a country or region by IANA. I assume SolarWinds has a database of what blocks have been issued to whom, and it uses this to get the country based on IP. Therefore, it may not be 100% accurate as blocks change hands, and overseas proxies can possibly have an effect on the results as…

Morning, I've put a couple of screenshots from a UnDP alert I have set up. Mine is doing the Compaq heath checks on some servers, so you'll need to customise what it does for your own purposes; but it should give you a starting point. Let us know if you need any more assistance :)

You'll find about 23 tables in the Orion Core DB that are called dbo.IPAM_xyz

If you create a new report of type "Historical - Interface Traffic" one of the fields available will tell you exactly what you are after. If you go to the "Historical Interface Traffic" item on the field menu you can select either TX, RX or TX+RX and within the relevent submenu there is "Circuit utilization (Max of...)".…

Hi Digi, I think this is one of the weaknesses in SolarWinds at present... What you want to do can't (easily) be done. Each of the Tabs on the menu bar is an image. This means you are stuck with the colour scheme, the text, etc. It also means you are limited to those tabs. What you end up doing is assigning your new menu…

Do you have the ability to customise that page? If so, it's probably best to add some new items to cover the other alerts. I think "Nodes with problems" is soley for A problems.

Have to admit it's never really been much of an issue to me, but that's probably because work also agreed to get the Engineer's Toolset for me. So I get the same functionality on my own PC. Perhaps it's a cunning ploy by SolarWinds to make you spend more money on more software from them ;)

Just a quick bump to see if anyone from the SolarWinds SAM team has any comments on the above!

Bad form I know, but a couple of more that've cropped up since I wrote the original post... 10. Any change of a "Components with Problems" resource under "SAM Application Summary Reports"? I have a couple of components that are "Critical", but the app itself doesn't show as being "Down". I know I could do a report to cover…

From the SAM Summary page you need to click on the "SAM Settings" link (or if you're still on version 4, it'll be APM instead of SAM). You should then see a section called "Global SAM Settings" with a link to the "Credentials Library" in it. Click on this link and you can manage your SAM monitor credentials.

Should be fairly straight-forward. You want to create an Advanced Alert that looks something like this... You just need to choose the correct Interface Type Name from the dropdown list. You'll also need to sort out your own Trigger Actions to page or email you. Let us know if you need more help on that.

I am running 10.1.2 with MS SQM Server 2008 R2, so I imagine 10.1.3 would also be compatible.
