Why not just allow custom regexes or SQL statements in alerts while we're at it? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe custom SQL statements are now possible for trigger conditions in NPM 10.1.

Your custom poller has to have a "MIB Value Type" of Rate (and maybe Counter) in order for it to show in the list for the radial gauges. I'm guessing you have your custom poller set to Raw Value at this point.

Have you setup the cluster to be monitored by APM yet? According to these two posts, it's definitely possible to setup the SQL cluster monitoring. As far as monitoring the availability, performance and total resources, wouldn't the SQL Server User Experience Monitor work for you?

Here are a couple of options for you: * NPM 10.1 is supposed to have included two new canned alerts that address this. Alert me when a managed node has not been polled during the last 5 tries Alert me when a managed node last poll time is 10 minutes old * Once in a while, when SNMP collections fail, the volumes and…

The recently released User Device Tracker is supposed to fulfill this exact need.

Hopefully, the following two blog posts will help you accomplish this. Hey Chart, get in my Report! (Part 1) Hey Chart, get in my Report! (Part 2)

Unfortunately, the Orion Report Scheduler will only e-mail reports in HTML or PDF formats.

Ok, I must be missing something here because the Credential for Monitoring is definitely passed to the ${USER} and ${PASSWORD} variables. Can you provide an example of the trouble you're running into?

Based off of this script, perhaps the following script will work for you? You may need to tweak it to get a more accurate count for your needs. #!/usr/bin/perl # # Based on original version by Jon Anhold <jon@snoopy.net> # Modifications by Jeremy Weatherford <xidus@xidus.net> # This code is licensed under the GNU General…

Which one is correct?

Some of this information is already available from the Events Viewer/Alert Manager. However, it won't display who made these changes.

In this case, I can confirm (blush) that NOT RTFM-ing that part of the release notes gave me considerable grief. I wouldn't completely blame yourself for this. Personally, I believe the release notes, especially containing information as important as this, should have been included inside the ZIP file of the upgrade.…

If you think it through logically, it makes sense as to why. Remember that the alert is compared against all application components. Taking your example, no single application component will ever be labelled both "file age" and "file count". Thinking it over another way, your trigger condition is logically equal to the…

Short of attempting installation, how does one know which SP level is installed for APM? Orion clearly displays it in web page footers but no such luck with APM, unless I'm missing something.

I assumed this would be updated during the scheduled rediscovery process. Does it get updated if you manually rediscover the node?

Have you already created the UnDP poller for this? If so, it should be simple to create an advanced alert to trigger on this condition.

You are going to want to use the Custom HTML to which you've already alluded. Within the Custom HTML resource, insert the following: <iframe src=orion/.../DetachResource.aspx You can use one Custom HTML resource for each of your charts (six total) or just one Custom HTML resource with six iframes inside: your choice. Let…

There have been variations on this request before. Your request is for a note on the alerts page whereas the Alerts comments for NOC operators thread is requesting this feature on the events page. Anyway, as I commented in that thread, would it be sufficient to add a note to the list of down nodes? If so, check out the Has…

What is the format of the virus pattern version? If it's a number with a single decimal, you would want to pass it out of the script next to "Statistic:". However, if it has any other characters except for digits or more than one dot, "Statistic:" won't accept it. Instead, it'll just display as zero. In that case, you can…

Unless I'm missing something obvious, isn't that just the "Report Title" that you see in the Report Writer?

You should definitely be able monitor port 9100 with the TCP port monitor. As I understand it, it simply tests for connectivity with no regard for the response code. If it can connect, the monitor should up and if not, it should show as down. I actually tested this and it's working for a TCP port 9100 monitor that I…

Once you start talking about registry entries and orphan files, it can get ugly. I believe your best bet would be to contact SolarWinds support for further assistance.

This isn't going to be supported by SolarWinds but have you tried to change the account that the SolarWinds Alerting Engine runs as to an admin account?

There might be a way for ${Node.UnManageFrom} and ${Node.UnManageUntil} to appear blank when ${Node.UnManaged} is No. However, I'm not aware of any method to remove the entire second line based on ${Node.UnManaged}'s value.

Will account limitations work for your situation?

This should be pretty simple. The following should trigger if any of your applications on any of your nodes are unavailable at any time.

Are you using the built-in function in alert manager to test the alert or are you actually manipulating the APM statistic so that it triggers the alert? Keep in mind that if you're using the built-in test function and perform the test against a node that doesn't have the corresponding application monitor assigned to it,…

Creating a report for groups and their members is easy. If you're looking for something more detailed than that, you're probably talking about a custom SQL query and definitely a much longer report.

If they're only looking for that specific information, why not create a view specifically to display volume information for those sites?

Your condition will never be true since the poller_name can't be equal to both "critical_temp" and "current_temp". Why do you even have the second condition group anyway? I hope I'm not misunderstanding you here but you simply want the alert to trigger at or above 420. If that's the case, the first two conditions should be…
