I notice two things from your screenshot, the first is that it appears to be from a test and so will not fire an alert in itself. The second is that the component shows only 4 seconds have passed since it was last modified so will only fire an alert if you've modified the criteria outlined in my last reply. Try applying…

It's a bit of a pain that each module handles the css completely differently but Im gradually going through modules and updating as and when I get time. I'll install NCM in my lab next and get back to you with an update. 

Create a new app monitor template then click add component monitor: search for 'contains' 'event', specify quantity of the monitors you want (in this case only 1 but worth noting the multi-add for other templates), flag the box, apply and then follow Shuth's instructions above.

Aww, that is a shame. Thanks a lot for spending your time looking into this, much appreciated. I'll be sure to upvote your feature request.

We get servers being added by different people all the time so I dymaicly import any new servers from AD each night using network discovery then the custom fields are populated using alerts (as described in my post above) so by morning, even if I'm not in the office, servers are added and custom fields populated which in…

This is what I use to find unread items in an Outlook mailbox (works with either internal or external mailboxes) but does mean the mailbox must be open in outlook for this to work. From here you should be able to pull time/date too: $outlook = New-Object -comobject outlook.application $n = $outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")…

No worries, glad to have helped. I'm no expert by far but I found the best way to learn is to just keep using it really - build your own alerts and reports, click around, break it a bit, fix it and make notes along the way.

Sorry, I read your post incorrectly too - I thought it was robert777 replying to his own post having found an answer Sorry, I am doing too many things at the same time...

There are 2 options, the easist is to simply set the parentAge component to go critical when over 7200 for one poll. The other way is to create an alert specifically which you could add automated emails, syslog entries etc. Option 1) Option 2) Create an alert with the following trigger condition something like the…

Sorry about that but relieved you resolved it. I found that happened to me the first time I manually changed the bundler config, I wonder whether empty spaces cause the config to go wobbly or something like that. I now use my GUI and havn't had an issue with that.

Are you using the code pasted above or using the gsock tool? The code above is nearly a year old, I make occasional updates to the tool but not the above code. If you find anything missing/not working when using gsock, send me details in a PM.

That confirms WinRM, ports etc are fine. Did you make sure you were running the scripts on 'remote host'? If so, try running the following directly on the remote (eg. target) machine from the ISE and note any errors: function get-installedupdate { $session = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session $searcher =…

My script will only work with gmail accounts as it hooks into the the atom xml of the google mailboxes to get the header - I suppose it could be converted to Exchange emails by pulling the header with get-message. I have another script for exchange emails that looks for unread messages - I'll find that so you can single…

No, not done anything specific yet. Was intending to look more at it at some point but as nobody is chasing me for more it's at the back of the queue :-)

See Alteregos post from a few hours ago: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/411631?et=watches.email.thread#411631 An official hotfix has been released.

I get a 5 hour window once a month to apply Solarwinds updates and OS patches - I think I installed SAM 6.7 the previous month so would have been on 8th Sept and I think VMAN 8.3 was installed during the last update on 4th Oct.

You add dot name so 'message.blah:' with matching 'Statistic.blah:' You can return up to 10 outputs per script.

I created a short script for our environment to check for all local personal certs on each server, grabs the expiry date and does a count from the current day to the expiry date then outputs both the day count to a statistic and the name of the cert to the message so you can use the statistic to create your alerts or set…

Of course NeoKevin. As with everything in Solarwinds there are a hundred ways to do things depending on your requirement but here is my own workflow: 1. First create your group containing whatever you wish to display status of. I generally create my groups dynamically in the way below but you could also build them…

This is the link: Folder Statistics

Not really, it will cache the .css in your browser which you could manipulate however there is no way I can think of to make it permanent other than change the base files on the web server (and thus all visitors).

I updated the css a few times (I've been editing the same post above and updating the code, last time was 2 weeks ago). I'm gradually going through the modules as they all have different css. If you (or anyone else reading this) send me details (url and screenshot) of bits you notice and I'll give those changes priority. I…

There are a few things that won't colour yet that I intended to update over time in the app but as far as I'm aware all the current charts use the highcharts container so should take on the dark theme with the modification to the bundler.config file - I wonder whether the ones not working are old charts. Let me know via PM…

:-) sorry, it sent a blank reply and i had to type it again, details now above

Hi, yes retain Historical data is enabled. Maybe I'm not writing the alert correctly. Essentially I was hoping to do something along the lines of 'current statistic notmatch last poll of statistic' but my SQL/SWQL skills are possibly a little lacking. I would have thought this would be a fairly common requirement so I'm…

/notests fixed it for me. Its the first time I've seen that switch mentioned anywhere. Definitely one to make a note of for future as I've had problems in the past where tests have failed when they should have passed.

Thanks Nanette

You've selected 'Status' rather than 'State'

Thank you P.Darila. That makes things clearer. We are currently running the appliance but being able to integrate it onto the poller would make things simpler although I am a little concerned about resources so will look into adding a free pollers to take some of the strain. Thanks again.

I haven't had a chance to get hands on with ARM yet but I was under the impression it monitored AD via the DC's, does it also monitor the local groups on the individual nodes too?
