I modified the alert as you suggested but the variable still isn't being processed. Now I'm getting... "Web server on network device (${Nodes.IP_Address}) from ${Nodes.Vendor} located at ${Nodes.Location} is Down." Thanks for the response though.

I'm not sure if you have any NetFlow devices that are not exporting flows to test this so let me know whether the following works for you. select n.caption, fullname, lasttime from nodes n inner join interfaces i on n.nodeid=i.nodeid inner join netflowsources nf on i.interfaceid = nf.interfaceid where…

Phil, Not really a problem. Just want an indication of when the last event was reported for each node. Obviously some nodes are more of a chatterbox than others so if I don't see any reported activity from such a node in the last 30 seconds, I'll know something ain't right. At the same time, there may be other nodes that…

Check the Help folder under your Orion installation for a file called OrionNetPerfMon.htm. In a default installation, it would be here: C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Help\OrionNetPerfMon.htm If the folder or file is missing, it would be my guess that running the Configuration Wizard again would correct this.

Jacob, Thanks, I'm already familiar with the IP Address Group feature and creating them. Looking over the IP Address Group summary view is somewhat helpful in that I can filter by a single IP Address Group. However, if I filter on more than IP Address Group, the logic is hard coded to show traffic for "Group A" or "Group…

Sohail, Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't aware of the "Top XX IP Groups Conversations" resource. Unfortunately,it doesn't address my need to trend over a period of time between two specific IP address groups. Quang

curtisi‌, as always, your response is appreciated. Would it be fair to say that by staying with an older version of the LEM agent, it's possible that the agent could lose communication with the manager in some future revision? If not, it would be hard to convince the sysadmins to upgrade if they're content with its core…

I'm leaning towards option 3/4. I don't believe that there is an alert variable that correlates to an application monitor's description field. Utilizing a custom property actually sounds like too much maintenance to me and what happens if you have multiple applications that should be monitored on the same server? I'm…

I'm testing out the practically of monitoring printers. Since this thread was originally created, we've been blessed with Custom/Universal Device Pollers. The OID for low toner seems to be included with UnDP but I'm wondering if we can get more details. I was wondering if anyone knew the OID (assuming it exists) that…

Sure. I'm not sure what you consider realistic but I'm certainly willing to play along. Will it be made available for public consumption, as as I said, ideally for those showing interest or planning an NTA deployment?

Am I missing something? Doesn't Report Writer already have the capability of exporting to an Excel spreadsheet?

curtisi‌, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. What about the backup archive. Could that be a mechanism to extend retention? I'm aware that you can't merge the archive back into the live data. So is it possible to search the archive using the console? If so, how would one do that. I'm having trouble finding a…

The closest thing I've tried with this was to create a UnDP poller that polled for a list of running processes by name. Then I created an alert that would trigger if the process I was monitoring did not appear in the list. I used OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.9.1.1.2 for this purpose but I noticed OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2…

SolarWinds already has a recommended solution for SMS. http://www.solarwinds.net/orion/notepage.htm That URL will redirect to the NotePagerPro software which, albeit not free, should be able to integrate with NPM.

The easiest way I do it is by subscribing to the SolarWinds Announcements. Only SolarWinds staff are allowed to post to that forum so any e-mail alerts you receive from that forum will occur a couple of times a month on average. There's even an RSS feed for that forum if you want to go that route. That means you don't even…

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!

I'm under the impression that Linux agents don't have the capability of auto upgrade? Was I mistaken?

Are you not receiving the alert at all or are you not receiving any alert after the initial one?

In this particular case, is it only those two monitors that go unknown? At the moment it goes unknown, are you able to browse the web site on that machine.

Danielle, Cool, that works great! The only problem is the fact that the thread subscription notices before Friday's upgrade used thwack.com instead of thwack.solarwinds.com but I guess this will have to do. Thanks again!

Is it just the Trigger Condition that is blank? Does this problem show up in any other application like System Manager?

If this can be done, I'm guessing it'll be done through ASP.NET.

That's correct, the Custom HTML resource isn't supposed to display anything. If it works, it should display a weather overlay over your WorldWide Map similar to what you see in the original post.

The following changes need to be made in the Custom HTML resource * Near the top of the HTML code, in the second group of variables, you'll find a variable called showPrecipitationLayer. Set the variable to [true,true] so that it looks like the following: var showPrecipitationLayer = [true, true]; * To remove one of the…

I'm not sure what the cause is but a workaround I've found is to disable the full screen button

Why not have three different alerts for the three different intervals? Someone might be in a better position to help if you explained your goal here.

Gotta ask at least a few question in response to the problems you're experiencing.* Can you add another action to the basic alert so that it creates/updates a log every time it is triggered? If the log gets updated, you know it's a problem specifically with the e-mail action. * Is the period between the server reboot and…

Sounds like you might benefit from the NetFlow Traffic Analyzer Orion module. Assuming you have NetFlow, sFlow or J-Flow-enabled devices, you can make use of it.

SP4 includes SP3. At least it better include SP3 and prior fixes since I don't have access to any of the earlier service parks in my portal. :)

* No, you can't combine them and there is no other variable that provides this information. You'll need to use an SQL query like the following in your e-mail alert: ${SQL:Select (${InPercentUtil}+${OutPercentUtil}) from interfaces where interfaceid=${InterfaceID}} * You can use the ${Inbps} variable which provides "Current…
