According to the admin guide, severity is "A network health score providing 1 point for an interface in a warning state, 1000 points for a down interface, and 1 million points for a down node."

The login details for advanced alerts correspond to the login details for the SolarWinds Alerting Engine service. You can change this but keep in mind that it's probably not going to be supported by SolarWinds.

Actually, I believe it was 9.1 that most folks where having trouble with. Specifically, the default overview behavior had changed so that the worse condition of a submap element was reflected at the top-level summary. This behavior was made an option in 9.1 SP1. You can read more about it if you so choose. For the most…

Obviously, you're trying to include both gauges in one resource, correct? I'll just toss out some random thoughts here.* As a test, have you tried to place them in separate resources? * Perhaps information from the first gauge isn't returning in a timely manner. Have you tried simplifying the view by removing any…

Actually, I believe that custom MIB pollers will hide if the they are not assigned to the current node that you are viewing. I think this is completely different from autohiding if there is no data at all, which is what you're suggesting. Let me know me I'm misunderstanding you.

I believe that on Linux (maybe all UNIX platforms?), the only(?) way to audit activity in the Oracle database is to send it to a log file. Therefore, we use the Oracle Auditor - Syslog connector to accomplish this. I believe that the Oracle Auditor - Windows connector does the same thing with Oracle on the Windows…

I remember having a problem similar to this a while back. It didn't happen very often so I just restarted the server and all was well. Are you up-to-date on the Service Packs for 8.1 (which should be hot fix 6)? I can't provide any more help than that because I have since migrated most of out critical alerts over to…

You just have to add something like the following to the "Alert Suppresion" tab (as opposed to the "Trigger Condition" tab) Suppress Alert when any of the following apply: Node Name equal to edge router Node Name equal to L3 switch With this suppression defined, you should be able to remove "Node Name is not equal to edge…

One method to accomplish this (that I use) is to add the following to the Trigger Condition, not the Alert Suppression: Node Status is not equal to Down

You are correct, information in the Node Details resource is obtained via SNMP. Therefore, you would update the SNMP configuration accordingly on each device to change this information.

If you're so inclined, you could create your very own style sheet (.CSS) with your own preferences. Just place a copy of it in the following folder: [Orion root folder]\WebEngine\Resources You could even copy one of the existing style sheets and customize to your liking.

Assuming you're using an advanced alert, simply go to the Time of Day tab and specify that this action (in this case, the e-mail alert) is executed between 6am - 9pm on your chosen days. Any e-mail alerts that you would normally receive outside of these hours (and assuming the alert is still triggered at 6am) will all be…

I believe SolarWinds has ended support for SQL2000 and ASP with NPM 9.5. That is to say, NPM 9.5 will require SQL2005 and ASP.NET in order to function properly. However, it will not impact your ability to monitor systems running on SQL2000, ASP or Win2000. If I'm misunderstanding you, please let me know.

As you've already figured out, you'd need to use one of the custom charts that's provided. The closest one I found that would fit your needs is the Multiple Object Chart which would display a singular statistic from multiple objects. Even then, you'd have to create a chart for every single statistic that you're interested…

I'm not sure what the contents of your aspx file is but you should be able to copy everything between the BODY tags into the custom HTML option in Orion. If it has dependencies (on external files) then this would probably get a bit more complex.

When I manually did in my browser what the HTTP monitor is doing, the first time I had to accept the certificate. It almost sounds like you found the source of your problem. Would it be possible to import the certificate so that your aren't prompted to accept the certificate in the future?

Yeah, I'm seeing something similar here. I just assumed, as you mentioned, it was a debug log that was being created by SolarWinds for the purpose of troubleshooting. There's a few other debug logs in the same folder as well, such as OrionCustomPollingService.log, BusinessLayerHost.log and NPM.BusinessLayer.log. Is this…

Have you entertained the idea of creating a report for this and then adding a report resource so it appears on your wallboard? If you're open to this, the following SQL query should generate what you're looking for SELECT AlertStatus.TriggerTimeStamp as Time, AlertStatus.ObjectName as Node, AcknowledgedBy, AcknowledgedTime…

Are you trying to delete objects from maps that represent deleted nodes?

You can associate the network link to the corresponding interface on one of the nodes.

There are no variables available to embed NetFlow information within e-mail alerts. Instead, you can use the E-Mail a Web Page alert action to forward a web page that would include this information. Specifically, check out the following two canned alerts: High Receive Percent Utilization with Top Talkers High Transmit…

Will the Description field from the Nodes table work for you?

Replace ${ResponseTime} with something like the following: ${SQL:select cast(responsetime as decimal)/1000 from nodes where nodeid=${NodeID}} That would be response time in seconds. To convert to minutes, simply change the divisor to 60000. I hope you don't mind me asking but do you normally have nodes with response times…

Since this is a remote connection (traversing the Internet, I assume), you'll want to implement encryption wherever possible. - For SNMP, you'll probably want to use SNMPv3 because it supports encryption. - Depending on the components you create to monitor the Exchange environment, you might also want to use WMI. However,…

The level of intelligence to suppress alerts based on dependencies isn't currently available but (cross your fingers) hopefully, it'll be available in the next release.

The only way I see an alert being created for this would be the following: * Assuming the router's MIB has an OID that reports on the total receive traffic, create a UnDP poller based on that stat. * Create a custom property and at the beginning of every month, update the custom property with the current total receive…

Have you fiddled around with creating a Netflow - Endpoints report? Exactly what kind of information are you looking to include in this report?

You can certainly run/build a report that will provide this historical data but this isn't what you're looking for. I don't believe a variable with this information exists. Actually, I don't believe there are any variables that provide historical data in advanced alerts.

So you're saying that when testing this alert, the first action executes (send a mail) but the second part doesn't (execute a vbs)? Is the correct full path to the VB script provided? I'm assuming appropriate permissions are in place? You may need to wrap the entire command in double quotes such as "c:\test.vbs"

Check the SolarWinds Alerting Engine to see which account it's using. By default, it's using the Local System account. You should be able to change the account that it uses to run but keep in mind that it probably won't be supported by SolarWinds.
