Hmm, I'm playing with the report as such, but wouldn't this only show the ObjectTypes for current alerts, and not for any potential alerts? For example, I am concerned about learning what the ObjectType name is for some of our alerts that we get more infrequently. While I can keep an eye out and try to record that…

Removing the ORDER BY doesn't seem to have an impact, nor does changing the sample interval. I've tried adding in other columns from the same table, and still get no data though they do show up as additional options when choosing to create a data series. My SQL query now looks like this: SELECT…

Our version line is as follows: Orion Platform 2014.1.0, SAM 6.1.0, IPAM 4.1, NCM 7.2.2, NPM 10.7, IVIM 1.9.0. I don't know if you get notifications when I edit a post, but I did make a small modification to the WHERE clause which makes me get output, but at the expense of all other alert types.

Because I know you are curious, and that others may well be as well, I contacted official support and got a solution. Much as we suspected, it involved a query into the database in order to clear out some stuck data. The query that I used was as follows: update APM_HardwareItem Set IsDeleted = '1' where NodeID = '672' and…

Yeah, once I get the chance I plan to bring support into the loop. It's gotta be just some data that is stuck, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable messing with it much without them.

I'm starting to think I am operating on some misinformation from my end. Between your much appreciated feedback on here and some further digging in Message Center, I'm no longer of the belief that the system is working anything unlike as you say. Still, I suppose it is nice to get confirmation on the criteria that the…

We would like to do the same thing jroberts110, and I recently hit the same wall you did. In the current release of NPM (10.6) I don't believe what you want is possible short of doing it in a web report and using a custom table (driven by either SWQL or actual SQL). This however wouldn't let you show that table on the node…

Yeah, the intention here is that all servers are gone, and we're in such a worst case scenario that the only think we have readily available is backups of the SQL databases.

Ahh, I think I might've figured it out. So, you are testing fine, and the three are all showing up in the Universal Device Poller Status resource, correct? In the Universal Device Poller Status panel you should see something like the following: If you click on the "3 value(s)" under "Current Status" for the…

Yeah, I believe the "Basic" alerts are all but phased out. If I recall correctly it is advised to not use them, and utilize the Advanced Alerts instead. Also, I completely face desked; I should've answered you better in my earlier reply. You know, considering I was *just* dealing with that table recently and went through…

Essentially yes, though the custom property must only contain a percentage value (In our case. Yours can differ if you want.) Our actual alert reads like this (Note that "ThresholdDisk" is our custom property for this): Trigger Alert when all of the following apply VolumeType is equal to Fixed Disk Trigger Alert when any…

Ah, I misunderstood before, I get what you are trying to do now. For the Cisco device the "Last Boot" field does change when the device is bounced, right? Just to test, if you have a alert with a type of Node and the only criteria is Last Boot has changed, does that alert trigger? Even though the property is "Custom Node…

Upon further prodding it, while the Orion SDK is fantastic from a programmatic perspective it still suffers the same limitations in terms of the lack of granular access rights that the web interface has. Does the SDK allow for the editing of audit events by chance? I could have an obfuscated set of credentials that the…

Can you expand on the usage of ObjectId? I assume it is analogous to Orion.AlertStatus.ActiveObject, but I can't get it to work. I intend for this script to address a series of actions for a particular type of alert that occurs on a particular set of nodes. My code looks like the following, with the variables passed to the…

TDanner, in a post you wrote previous this year (http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/198138#198138) you mentioned that the next major SDK release will have a function for changing UTC time into local time. Do you know if such a function will be part of the next SDK release?

This is perfect, thank you. To share what I ended up with, here's the MSSQL query that returns everything needed (I hate using SELECT *, but there really shouldn't be too many rows in these tables, and it makes it simpler): SELECT * FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[OrionServers] SELECT * FROM…

All great knowledge, thanks. I'd figured that baselines aren't wiped out all too often, but I really haven't used them much myself so I had to take that user report at face value. I'm also fighting with perhaps a misunderstanding on their part as to what baselines are really good for (thus some of my other questions).…

There is some potential there, thanks for the suggestion. In our usage case we have groups of people that need to see all nodes, but only unmanage/remanage particular subset(s). I was thinking along the lines of using two groups to give access, one group to have "read-only" access and a second to give node management…

That was exactly the case; thank you. Changing the monitoring type to WMI allowed me to see that option automatically. Thanks for the tip on adding it to SNMP nodes as well.

Not that practicing thread necromancy is all that encouraged, but was this functionality actually added in the release of 10.7? I am not seeing any way to add a Custom Chart or Custom Table from the output of a report as a resource in Orion, unless I am missing something. If this was added, can you expand as to the steps…

No problem! Glad to be of help, and glad it works well for you. I should update that document with the info we found here in case someone else has the same issue.

This is immensely helpful, thank you! The verb arguments formatting is a little obscure at first, but I just need to compare that output versus one of the ones documented in the Tech Ref guide and then I'm sure it'll click. Thanks again.

My apologies. We run both NPM and SAM, and I was unclear as to which particular module this pertained to. To be clear, we do have the ability to monitor this health, and do so on some of our servers. However, we have many more that we suspect we do not, and thus the discovery that you mention seems like it might be the…

Well, I've successfully tested that same query in the two areas; for reporting and for a custom chart resource on a node view. In both areas the preview of the data source itself returns the expected output. However, in only the custom chart resource usage am I still missing the "Browse" button near "Time Column". I tried…

How were you able to tell specifically which resource was depreciated? We're having the same problem, on a view that has dozens of widgets.

That seems likely. So far the Execution Mode has been set to Local Host, as I was hopeful I wouldn't need to enable WinRM. That said, if Local Host isn't an option I don't suppose I have much choice as to otherwise. Still, it seems odd; I wouldn't think that doing a file count would consume all that terribly much RAM.

Actually, the Execution Mode has been set to Local Host, as I've always used the same for my other Windows PowerShell Monitors. Its possible that I could enable WinRM on that server to perform a test of Remote Execution, but I was hopeful that I wouldn't have to. Do you think this may be the issue? If so, is it the same…

Hello Andy, Thanks for the reply. I ended up finding the solution a week or two ago, and had neglected to properly update and close this thread. The issue revolved around the configuration of the trigger conditions. In the initial configuration the trigger conditions were the following: Trigger Alert when all of the…

That worked *perfectly*. I ended up copying some existing ASP and then loading it in an iframe like you suggested. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's a good idea. Let me play around with that and see where it gets me. We already have a website that we use to show similiar data; I'm wondering if I can't just copy off of that and change it to suit my need.
