If you're starting out with Orion NPM, I'd recommend you skip the basic alerts entirely and start working with advanced alerts since that is the direction that Orion is headed. I forget which service pack they were first available but NPM 9.1 SP4 includes samples of advanced alerts as well.

What have you done and more specifically, what are you having trouble with?

Clearly, these aren't exactly the same graphs. Each graph covers a different time period and one is of type Min/Max/Average bps and the other is of type In/Out Average bps. Assuming both graphs represent the same interface, can you post a graph of the last 7 days of type Min/Max/Average bps for this interface?

Actually, I was looking for the HTML code that you used

I simply modified the window of the report. I assumed that the report was providing the correct information that you wanted for the last 30 days. What are the other types of devices that should've appeared in the report? Of the devices that did appear in the report, how many instances did you expect to appear?

I gotcha. This should be quite doable, I think. Just build your application template and apply it to both nodes. Keep in mind since the processes are not running on the failover node, it'll show as down. If you want to take it further and receive alerts when the application is down on both, simply create a group based on…

It's most likely possible, depending on your needs of the report. What kind of information would you expect from such a combined report?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant a generic loopback address, not the loopback interface. Since you have everything from 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254 available, I believe any number of fake nodes would be available to you.

You can copy the 02-ProblemNodes.Resource file to a new resource file and then edit the following lines: <td class="ReportHeader" vAlign="bottom"&gtPERCENT<br>LOSS</td> to <td class="ReportHeader" vAlign="bottom">Department</td> and change this <td class="Property"><a…

Can your SNMP trap server resolve the IP address to a hostname?

The good news, I think I may have fixed the issue using alert supression on the interface alert that says to supress the alert if the node is down. I won't know until a site goes down again though I really don't want to test that scenario in my production enviroment, time to set up my test lab for this! Be sure you have…

Alright, I found another way to go about this that might be better for you, although the IFrame idea is still valid.* First, "Save as Web Page..." the spreadsheet. * Upload the saved spreadsheet to your Orion website wherever you want * Download and install the last revision of the Office Web Components (OWC) * Enter the…

Sorry, I don't have ISA Server so I won't be able to help. However, here are some general WMI troubleshooting steps that you can take. How can I test WMI connectivity for APM? How do I configure my firewall to allow WMI? A more in-depth troubleshooting guide (PDF) is available as well. Let us know how it works out for you.…

You just need to have an e-mail sent as part of the Reset Actions tab. Let us know if you need any help with that.

Have you tried executing this query remotely using something like wbemtest?

I'm guessing it's the session cookie that can't tell that the IP address and the hostname are one and the same. Therefore, new session cookie is created and prompts you for your login credentials. As you've discovered, specifying the hostname from here on out is one solution. Another would be to specify relative path URLs…

What exactly is this "rate" value supposed to represent?

Have you tried the following? Numeric Status is equal to 9

Actually, I think your trigger condition should look something closer to the following for the VM down alert: As for the disk space alert, you can create an alert that triggers when the available capacity hits your defined threshold. Since it's not specific to VMs, creating this alert should be simple.

You can restrict by IP address globally (i.e. can access the console AT ALL or not) at the appliance level using the "Advanced Configuration" on the appliance. It's not a user+IP combination, just an IP whitelist. Is this the restrictconsole command that you're referring to? The description states that the command enables…

Since "a time tick is a hundredth of a second", you simply have to create a poller transformation that divides this poller by 6000 for minutes or 360000 for hours.

I apologize for being a little slow but I'm confused about what you're looking to do. What exactly would the totals field represent?

Would it be feasible to create an advanced alert that will always be true and simply define a trigger action that includes the report's URL?

Not a perfect answer but you could set the Alerting Engine to start Manual. Then, after you know all of the devices have been polled, just start the Alerting Engine yourself.

I don't mean to speak for DirtySouth here but would it not be possible to provide the option for us to specify the color for each event type through the web console? At the very least, allow the choice of CSS file to apply much like the Color Scheme option in the web console.

Oh, I understand what you're trying to do now. Why not set the reset condition to something that you know will always be true. For example, your alert could reset if the NPM server is up.

Are these updated SQL Server templates included with the latest copy of APM (4.2)?

Which version of NPM do you have installed? I have NPM 10.1.2 so the good news is that Get or Post a URL to a Web Server is one of the available trigger actions for advanced alerts. I don't know in which version it first became available though.

Yeah, it's obviously a matter of preference whether you want to use the Thwack resource. However, if you're still interested in using it, I believe your Orion server will need access to the Internet for it to function properly.

Can you provide further details of the the report you would like or provide an example of what you'd like to see in this report?
