Bump...I brought something similar up in this thread below and think this solution would be great. Thankshttps://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Discussions/Unmanage-Schedule-Utility-Is-there-any-plans-to-get-this-off-the/m-p/597815/highlight/false#M147884

I upvoted this as well, I used wildcards for Windows Services on the Solarwinds N-Central product when I use to administer that and it was great.

Yes Correct

Yes I agree. Looking to do this right now for a custom poller and alert if HA status of a firewall changes from one state to the other. If you did it any other way the alert would stay triggered until the firewall was failed back over to its original state. 

I moved from using PRTG to Solarwinds and this is a feature I am looking to use like I had before, I was able to reference the index number like someone mentioned above and use that index to correlate two different SNMP Tables to pull the information I needed into the monitoring tool. Usually there would be multiple…

Just started using the Universal Device Poller and was surprised to find that after setting thresholds for the Universal Device Poller it did not impact the overall status of the node its associated to. I wanted to add the node to a dashboard and when the custom monitor goes to warning or failed it changes the status of…

Wow, I was looking for the same info. Can't believe no response to this question, this post is a year old.

From what I understand Log Manager for Orion at this time offers Syslog and SNMP Trap Log Monitoring but does not offer the ability to do Windows Log File Monitoring. The capability I was looking for was to watch multiple files using wildcards and then look for any newly found strings. Currently I do not see an option for…

I agree, I just upgraded from 12.1 to 12.3 and honestly that whole vertical bar taking up space on the screen is kind of annoying. It would be great if there was an option to disable it without removing the rights and provide an alternate means to customize the screen.

Thanks for the link to your feature request, look like i voted for it in the past at some point.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I understand that, so create groups with the same conditions as the alert rule will give me an idea which nodes the alert rule will apply to. I see the groups are granular so you can also do this with other objects as well. Thanks for the information.

What ever happened to this thread and the implementation of improved file monitoring? Thanks

Thanks, I have been in the edit option before for some of the other widgets that had no valuable data and guess i missed this one and didn't know there were options to see the custom property selection. Thanks for the help.

This is a really old school way of updating recurring task. Its getting more difficult for me to do because the unscheduled task scheduler creates a executable file that gets blocked by our security teams endpoint security software. So everytime I have to add a new recurring downtime I have to submit a ticket to the…

Hello, I am trying to understand what Solarwinds recommends. I am going to install Log Analyzer and use the free "Orion Log Viewer". Does Log Analyzer handle the same amount of syslog, traps, and Windows event log flow as Kiwi Syslog Server does so it would be redundant to install Kiwi Syslog Server? Or does Solarwinds…

Thanks for the report, this is the best thing I have found and this was a post from five years ago! Has there been any new developments around a built in report for this capability? 

To save on SAM licenses you can monitor the volumes on your windows servers for the unknown state. That tells you that you are not able to query the server with WMI. I have used this successfully with my monitoring for years. Unfortunately its not full proof because if WMI has an issue it will trigger but you will be…

Thanks for the post, I have been struggling to get the statuscode from my Invoke Web Request using the Powershell Monitor until I saw this post and see you used the parameter -UseBasicParsing After I inserted this into my web request the status code output was seen by the Powershell Monitor before that it kept telling me…

Ended up monitoring the C drive for the Unknown status. May need to look into a custom SQL query to monitor when the memory goes into an unknown status, not sure about that solution yet.
