I take it you don't know which process or service to monitor? If not, you might want to try your hand at the Application Discovery wizard to see if it will help. Otherwise, you'll need to use the Find Processes, Services and Performance Counters wizard to help narrow down the relevant processes for the antivirus and…

Have you attempted to create an alert for this yet? If so, can you post a screenshot of it?

I'm assuming this is a UnDP table poller that you've setup. If so, then I don't believe there's an option available to filter the output such that only specific rows are displayed.

${ApplicationStatus} is a valid variable when the Type of Property to Monitor is set to APM:Component. Check your trigger condition to confirm what it's currently set to.

Oh yeah, I do this myself. I have the heartbeat alert fire off every 2 hours which may be overkill but that's how I roll. :) If you think it through, it's actually pretty simple: 1) Have Orion monitor itself 2) Set alert to trigger if the node status is up. If you have APM, you can take this further by monitoring all Orion…

Are these Universal Device Pollers? If so, I don't think there's a chart that will display information from more than one poller at a time. However, there is the "Universal Device Poller Min/Max Average Chart" resource that should fulfill your second request.

I'm not sure if this is a possibility for you but how about renaming the component to the URL that it's monitoring? That way, it'll be straightforward for you when viewing the status through the web console and if you have an alert for it, you can use the ${ComponentName} variable in the e-mail alert.

You can modify the standard Average and Peak Traffic Rates - Last 7 Days report. What is regarded as "top utilization interfaces"? You can sort on any of the following fields * Recv Percent Utilization * Xmit Percent Utilization * Circuit Utilization (Avg of Recv,Xmit) * Circuit Utilization (Sum of Recv,Xmit) * Circuit…

It's possible you might be using the file screen feature of the File Server Resource Manager. That's how we restrict specific file types from being uploaded to our site.

Aren't there specific event IDs that get logged when this happens? If so, it sounds like the Windows Event Log Monitor might fit the bill.

Apparently, WMI can query the registry for values according to the following article: How Can I Tell Whether a Value Exists in the Registry? from the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog If you can tweak the script to query for the value you want, you can dump it into a Windows Script Monitor and output through the Message: value.…

I'm not sure this is even possible unless I'm missing something. Is there a method to import advanced alert definitions? Regardless, why not just create some alerts for your environment? What are you trying to accomplish?

Your Inherit from Node suggestion is really a variation on the existing Inherit from Template implementation but from a different perspective. However, your suggestion does beg the question, why was APM implemented with the Inherit from Template feature from the start. It actually makes sense to inherit the credentials…

You can configure a map to change status based on the percentage of down/warning/unknown nodes. However, I do not know of a way to does this with groups.

There's an option in the Admin menu called "Views by Device Type" which allows you to specify views to device types such as "Windows 2003 Domain Controller" and "Windows 2003 Server". However, I'm guessing you're looking for something a little more but I'm a littled confused by what you want. I don't think you can apply a…

I believe you're on the right track with the DirectLink account. I assume you're using the Custom HTML resource on a summary page to construct your iframes? Can you elaborate on the graphs that you're trying to display? What time period and interval are specifying when generating these graphs? Perhaps the web server is…

Yes, only if you're using advanced alerts.

I don't have an answer so I'm tossing out ideas here. Does your DB know if you could run an SQL query against the database to glean this information? If not, and assuming it's on Windows, is there a performance counter that will provide the information that you're seeking?

1) I have a template on over 2000 windows servers. Let's say I would like to delete it from them. The best I can do with the interface is to select them, at best, 25 at a time. Is there a way to do this in the database? I haven't been able to figure out the APM schema and it looks easy to mess up. I'm not in the same…

I thought most, if not all of these settings were stored in the database. Assuming, you're adding all of your nodes to one polling engine first and then migrating half of them to the other, it seems your biggest challenge would be the migration itself or am I misunderstanding something?

It's not my intention to sound condescending (and I apologize if I do) but why not simply insert carriage returns as needed. I'm assuming that you're inserting the <br /> tag manually. Since you know that the carriage return is replaced by the <br /> HTML tag, why not let the system take care of it?

Yeah, you could create an application template consisting of five port monitors. Then, as you indicated, you'd create an alert that would trigger if any one of the components (port monitors) are down. You'd used the Report Writer to create your own custom report for the port monitor availability as well.

Your problem sounds very similar to the following thread. Folks are able to poll for the correct information from the custom poller setup but that's as far as it goes. Custom MIB Poller Problem

You could use the "Percent Utilization on all Interfaces" resource and filter the list down to the interfaces you wanted displayed.

Have you tried the following? Interface ${Caption} for node ${NodeName} is ${Status}

Can you elaborate on this? What kind of log are you referring to, a simple text log? What are you looking for a log monitor to do; alert you if a keyword is found in the log?

You can only select it if the view that you created is of type Application Summary. Otherwise, you could change the Home Page View to your newly created view so that it pulls up by default when your customer logs in.

I use a batch file to rename the syslog files and then have a weekly scheduled task that executes the batch file. The batch file contains a single command: ren [name of syslog file] %date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%.txt This essentially renames the file to [year][month][date].txt such as 20080108.txt. The batch file does…

An existing alternative would be to use nProbe to forward the flows to NTA. Although, it's not a SolarWinds product, it has been endorsed by them in the following blgo entry: Orion NTA and nProbe: Analyzing bandwidth hogs without flow-capable network equipment

I'm new to creating reports but if I understand what you're asking for, it should be pretty simple. Just create a new "Advanced SQL" report and paste the following into SQL tab: select sum(volumespaceavailable) as SpaceAvailable, sum(volumesize) as TotalSpace from volumes where volumetype = 'fixed disk' It's a very simple…
