Just created a test alert and this is the output of whoami: nt authority\system. Hope that helps.

I must be missing something here but couldn't you simply monitor all switch ports using NPM? Wouldn't any "dead" ports simply show as down?

I believe the minimum they'll need is admin rights to the web console.

I can't explain why the node status never changes to down. Another couple of way to test this would be to update the hosts file on the poller or to pull the network cable on the node. Anyway, another way to receive alerts on reboots would be something like the following:

Is it fair to assume that the credentials assigned to this component have access to the remote admin shares and that you have tested this?

This is definitely possible with APM. What are you trying to setup? What part of the configuration are you having trouble with?

Is this happening because the poller is waiting too long for an SNMP response from the device or is the poller too busy to complete the transformation during that polling cycle?

GET and POST are two different methods to submit an HTML/web form. Google will help you with further explanation but the basic difference is as follows: GET method: form data is encoded in the URL and passed to the web server POST method: form data is passed in the message body to the web server An example use case for…

Just curious why the "Group of Nodes" limitation wouldn't work for you.

If it was me, I'd probably use the OID to create a UnDP poller. It seems quicker and easier to setup. However, I think the OIDs you should be using are This is the no. of addresses in use = 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.2 This is the no. of addresses that are free = 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.3 Let me know how this works out…

The all nodes page is OK but you can't read the node name from 15 to 20 feet away easily at all. Couldn't you overcome this simply by increasing the "text size" (IE) or "zoom level" (FF) in the browser?

Instead of pausing the alert escalation, why not simply amend the trigger condition. I assume you don't have a condition that checks on node status. Therefore, simply add the following trigger condition: Node Status is not equal to Down This way, the alert will trigger (and escalate) normally when it battery power drops…

Yeah, this is definitely an APM piece. My level of knowledge is about similar to yours so beyond spelling it right, if I was provided a username and password, I'd also know how to login. Anyway, see if you have any more luck with the following OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2

I clicked on edit, and removed the check marks from the devices I no longer wanted as Netflow Sources, but they are still there. I also tried to do it through the Netflow Setting link with the same effect. Have you tried to remove checkmarks from the interfaces instead of the devices themselves?

question 1 The difference between the "Process Monitor - WMI" and the "Process Monitor - SNMP" As the name implies, processes are monitored either through WMI or SNMP. WMI is a Windows-only concept and for that reason, it provides a little more information like virtual memory for each process. The bottom line is that for…

Along with log files, are the error messages for this custom application also stored in a backend database? If so, you might be able to create an application template with an SQL Server User Experience Monitor and create an alert that triggers based on the result. As you referenced, you can definitely have a custom report…

Do the alert e-mails have to be different? If not, why not specify Owner as the To: recipient and Owner DB as the Cc: recipient? That way, e-mail alert will be sent either way and Owner DB will only receive it if it's been specified for the node. I hope that make sense.

This has been discussed [url=]a [url=]few [url=]times [url=]before but the short answer is no, ping/icmp is required in order monitor up/down status of the nodes.

There's a couple of different issues here: 1) When you test an alert, it doesn't actually test the trigger condition, it only tests the alert actions that you have defined. This explains why an e-mail alert is still delivered when testing a node outside of your defined group. 2) Your trigger condition is set to trigger…

I have no idea if this will work so I'm throwing it out there as a suggestion. Have you tried using the HTTP Monitor or FTP User Experience Monitor since either component type allows use of a proxy?

Yes and no. Great answer, huh? Anyway, this would be possible using a VB script as long as the scheduled tasks were created using one of the following methods: * The schtasks.exe command-line tool * Microsoft's downloadable Task Scheduler agent * Windows shell scripting commands Most likely though, they were created using…

Short of restarting the service associated with APM polling, I'm not aware of a method.

If you're you asking if it's possible to apply a custom "node details" view to specific nodes, then no, I don't believe it's possible. Custom "node details" view are applied to different accounts only, I believe.

Do you get this error whether you try to add by hostname or IP address?

Trying searching on the IP address to see if you get any results.

My SQL knowledge is very basic so if someone can improve upon this, please do. Anyway, you can choose to create an Advanced SQL report in Report Writer with this SQL query or if you're only going to run once, you can run it from the Database Manager. SELECT APM_Application.Name as Application, APM_Component.Name as…

I'm guessing that you specified particular IP addresses in the HTTP template when you defined it. If that's the case, it shouldn't care which node it's assigned to.

Now if site A device goes down it SHOULD trigger this alert, right? Or would this alert fail to trigger due to sites B and C having devices with priority =2 in them still up? Based on your description of the trigger condition, this alert should trigger if site A goes down. As far as the alerts are concerned, there is no…

You have different ways to go about this, such as:* Setting up each web site on a different port * Setup the each website under /asd or /solarwinds accordingly, as you prefer.

I like the idea but as far as I know, it's not possible.
