Just curious, can any of these SolarWinds products ping any other server? Have you always had a problem with this server?

If you're referring to the feature to "Manually set a Hyperlink" for a map object, here are some I've done or thought about doing:* Link to MPLS provider's network status page * Link to ISP provider's network status page * Link directly to the map of another site instead of having to head back to the network summary to…

Those error messages look very similar to the original post in this thread. See if the suggestion by Mark Wiggans helps you narrow down the source of the problem.

When you configured this component, did you use credentials for the server or the database?

Here's a couple of suggestions: * Instead of using the cryptic numbers to define the window of time for the report, you might want to use dates. Therefore, your WHERE condition could look something like this: ( DateTime BETWEEN '2011--02-01' AND '2011-03-01') * With that said, you can the following column to the report…

As I understand it, you'll need to have the Oracle client installed on the same box as APM. Check out the following knowledge base article for instructions: Orion APM Oracle User Experience Monitors Cannot Connect to Oracle Databases

Is it feasible for you to simply run a SQL second query to populate the Message: value?

You probably want to install the Windows Event Forwarder, located in the SolarWinds support page in the lower-right. It'll forward events from the Windows server to Orion as syslog messages where you can define the alerts in the Syslog Viewer.

Couldn't you simply create an alert/filter rule in the Trap Viewer that would notify you when this trap is generated?

Your alert is probably configured to monitor a single interface at a time so it won't be able to reference the other interface (even on the same node). I'm not sure you'd be able to pull this off with a single alert but I'd be interested to know if I am wrong about this.

Wow, this report sounds like it could be pretty long. Anyway, how about this?* Use the "Historical - Interface Traffic" report as a template * Select whatever fields you want displayed such as "Full Name" * Filter the results to only those whose status was up * Specify the specific time frame The problem with this report…

If I'm understanding you correctly, you can use either the ${RawStatus} or ${Status} variables to present this information in an e-mail alert. Keep in mind that it won't be a table but instead a comma-delimited list of values. Hope this helps!

Is it safe to assume you're not interesting in using the Log Forwarder for Windows?

Have you already tried exporting to PDF directly using the Report Writer?

Can you be more specific about the event to which you're referring? Under what conditions do you expect to trigger this alert?

Why not create an alert that runs the VB script every hour that the node is up? No coding for a button and no worry that a helpdesk technician gets bored and starts hammering said button for entertainment.

1) Assuming they're all services or processes that run on Windows or Linux, yes, you should be able to monitor them. Disk space is one of the standard resources that can be tracked on all nodes, provided SNMP is configured. You don't even need APM to monitor disk space. 2) Assuming CA Helpdesk has the capability of opening…

The only way I can think of doing this would be to create an advanced alert like the following: Hopefully, that works for you.

That's a pretty good request. This has also been requested in a different form: auditing. SolarWinds indicates that they are interested in implemented this but no timeline has provided. In the meantime, you could schedule a report that is delivered to you via e-mail at specific intervals (like every day). This report would…

Check out the following instructions from the NPM admin guide to see if it helps. Using Windows Pass‑through Security Hope this helps.

How would Orion know which HOSTNAME to trace this back to in order to populate the alert?

Yes, you can delay the alert trigger for a specified amount of time but no, I don't think you can configure the delay to be dependent on another alert.

Custom Pollers are available for reports based off of at least the two following templates: Current Status of Nodes, Interfaces, etc. and Historical - Custom Pollers. Is this what you're looking for?

Check out the following post from Network_Guru which outlines this. I'm trying to accomplish the same thing you are without having to create an alert for each site. Post reponse in Re: Grouping of objects for alerting thread

Have you tried the following? nodes.caption like 'hq%' and nodes.caption like 'state%'

I'm almost certain this can be accomplished with a batch file using the net stop and shutdown console commands. Then just add a scheduled task for the batch file.

It almost sounds like a memory leak. Is Internet Explorer fully patched? Have you tried this on any other machines? A last resort option would be to continue using Firefox with an IE-like theme. :)

You should be able to update the script so that the proper exit code is reported. As per the APM admin guide, you'd simply set the exit code to 0 (Up). I'm not sure what statistic you would measure to change the status to warning or critical though.

Perhaps the script isn't running under the proper credentials? Could you modify the script to echo the credentials it's running under?

What's ironic about this request is that you can actually create these alerts when a group is unmanaged. I just don't see where one would go to unmanage the groups.
