I'm almost certain the CustomPollerStatistics* tables hold the information you're looking for. If you're looking to include the value in an e-mail by way of an SQL query, you'll want the CustomPollerStatistics_Detail table. The column you're looking for will probably be RawStatus or Status.

If I create an alert that "should not" throw an action against a node and I run a test against that node I should yield no action correct? Not correct. When you test an alert, you're only testing the alert actions, not the trigger conditions. Yeah, I know, some would argue that it should test both but as it is, it doesn't.

You have a couple of options. If you're familiar with C#, you might be able to customize the colors by finding and editing the resource file. Your other option would be to create a custom CSS file and apply it using the Color Scheme option in the web console. The first option will be more difficult but allow you to…

I'm pretty sure you can do this using the script monitor. I know how to do this using PowerShell but not VBScript and since I haven't upgraded to APM 4 yet, I can't test this out. You might be best served searching for an existing script that provides a count of a specified process. Obviously, you'd then be able to create…

You should be able to use the Syslog Viewer to create an Alert Rule. Also, syslog messages should be accessible from the web console by default if that's what you're looking for.

I am helping with setting up Orion to monitor a large network. Question 1: Is there a way through macroing or other to in a way future proof if a device is upgraded? For instance we use Cisco Catylist 2950's we are in the process of upgrading to 2960's. I would like to avoid having to re do all of the interfaces. No—even…

Are you seeing only a few of the interfaces or none of them at all for this node?

Here's the catch, I'd like to be able to provide that functionality with the ability to drill down on the elements to the actual application providing the data. Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly. For example, you'll have all of the various elements of your monitoring applications appear on the same screen. From…

To be clear, are you trying to create a Custom SQL Alert for the trigger condition or one to be included in an e-mail alert?

I have no idea if this makes a difference but here is mine: GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Security)}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") I can probably remove the first ampersand and corresponding quotes but as you can see, the only other difference is ,(Security). I can't imagine this being the…

Yeah, NPM doesn't have a way to pull data from a particular row of an SNMP table to include it in the alert message. However, check out the following thread to see if the workaround suggested is feasible for you. Help with Custom Alert for BGP Status Table

I generally label my advanced alerts according to the "Type of Property to Monitor". For example, simple up/down alerts get a Node: prefix whereas an alert for an application would get an APM: prefix. The rest of the label breaks it down further from there but this seems to work well enough for me.

I don't have any experience with Domino but it seems like you're looking for a User Experience Monitor specifically for Domino. I don't believe one exists. I'm uncertain as to whether any of the current User Experience Monitors will work for you: * DNS User Experience Monitor * ODBC User Experience Monitor * Oracle User…

Here's one way to do it. Another way to do this would be a simple sql query. You'll want to build a report using a Custom Table. You'll choose Interface as the type of objects without specifying any conditions so that all interfaces are being reported and then add to layout. Edit your table and add Speed as your first…

See if running the following command on the Windows 2000 servers helps: winmgmt /resyncperf

We don't have any ProCurve switches but have you tried any of the following OIDs? hpFanOperational: 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.17.7.1.1.1.9.1.2 snChasFanOperStatus: 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.12.1.1.3.1.1.3

I'm a little confused here.* Isn't there a link to the device's IP address already at the bottom of the Node Details resource? * I'm guessing you're using the Custom HTML resource to try to accomplish this? If so, I'm not sure if variables are accepted in it.

Couldn't you just suppress the alert if the status of either CSS11503 and CSS11506 (8) devices is "not equal to up"?

No, you can't manage alerts through the web console in any version prior to NPM 10. Even if you do upgrade to NPM 10, you'll only be able to manage advanced alerts. You can perform the following activities on alerts through the web console in the latest version of NPM. * enable/disable alerts * delete alerts * modify time…

I believe the "Directory Size Monitor" will fulfill this requirement nicely. Have you tried it yet?

Is this what you're looking for? OID for total flash size: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.10.1 OID for total RAM size: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.7

The tests you ran for SNMP connectivity were run from the Orion server?

Just a suggestion here but wouldn't it be easier to add the ${AlertTriggerTime} and ${DateTime} variables to your alerts? I'm not sure if running a report will provide any different information. However, if you're still interested in the report, please let me know and I'd be willing to take a shot at it.

Syslog messages can be viewed through the web interface. Is there any particular reason you want them to appear as NPM events?

If the alert action you're trying to use is "Dial Paging or SMS service", then I would assume that NotePage is required. However, if you're looking simply to send an SMS alert, couldn't you use the "Send an E-Mail/Page" alert action instead. Granted, it won't make use of your USB GSM modem, though.

You can create an advanced alert that triggers only when the trigger condition(s) have been met for x minutes. In other words, the alert would detect that the application is not up and will stay in a holding pattern. If you look at the list of active alerts, you'll see the alert is preparing to trigger. After x minutes, if…

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible with NPM but instead requires APM. You could then use something like the File Text Monitoring APM template to accomplish this.

I'm guessing that the System Manager is hard-coded to use "telnet.exe", or probably just telnet. Whatever the case, a hack/workaround to get this working with PuTTY would be to rename "putty.exe" to "telnet.exe". You can either place it in the system32 folder (after backing up the original "telnet.exe") or make sure the…

I have used the following sql statement that I have found on other posts but the time doesnt seem to work. Can you elaborate more on what you mean by "the time doesn't seem to work"?

Sounds like you'll need to create application monitor template(s) that contain a 1) DNS User Experience Monitor and 2) HTTP Monitor. Using the DNS User Experience Monitor, you can specify a domain to check and expected result from the DNS query. Using the HTTP Monitor, you can specify a URL to monitor and a string that…
