I think this will depend on how you have System Manager configured (polling interval) and the number of nodes you're polling.

There's no built-in intelligence on the part of Orion regarding suppression of downstream devices. There have been some discussions in the past regarding the use of custom properties as one method to work around this missing feature in Orion, to which I think Denny was referring. One such idea was posted by Network_Guru.

As referenced in Brandon's post, auditing is an area in which NPM is lacking. There's nothing tying accounts to actions they've taken so currently, it's not doable.

Actually, I think you're going to need to do something like the following:* Trigger alert when ALL of the following apply: * CPU Load is greater than 95 * Trigger alert when ANY of the following apply: * Node name is equal to Server1 * Node name is equal to Server 2 * Node name is equal to Server 3

Now that I think about it, that makes sense and of course, you're right. I just tried it on a test view and it's static.

As I understand it, features for basic alerts have been frozen for over a year now as outlined in the following old thread. What can you do with the Basic Alerts that you CANNOT do with the Advanced Alerts in 8.5? You probably don't want to hear this but along those lines, it might be wise to start considering the move to…

I just tested it and I see what you mean. However, keep in mind, you want to create a custom CSS and not mess with globalStyles.css, if at all possible. However, I messed around with it a little bit and was able to almost make it workable. What I did was create a custom CSS based off of one of the existing color schemes.…

BTW, to which template are you referring? I guess this will depend on the number of sites you're looking to monitor but is it unreasonable to manually specify the hostname in each template/monitor?

Orion and Network Performance Monitor (NPM) are one and the same, so don't worry about it. So let me get this straight, if you add the "all nodes" resource, no nodes show up at all? Is this affecting all of your views, including new ones you create?

When you test it, by disabling the interface, how long does it take for it to show down in Orion?

A separate utility called SolarWinds Orion Schedule Unmanaged Utility is available in the customer portal under additional components for Orion NPM. It lists minimum requirements as NPM 10.0 and APM 3.5. I'm not sure if there's any plans to integrate this feature directly into NPM in the future.

yes, via the AppBuilder. Pick a component monitor and then at the end, you can assign it directly to a server Denny, please correct me if I'm wrong but don't you still need to assign the component monitor to an application monitor? Stepping through the AppBuilder, I don't see how I can choose not to assign it to an…

Yeah, pretty much.

What exactly are you having trouble with and what work have you done so far?

Ah yes. I keep forgetting that it can operate standalone.

I believe your problem is with the following condition: - field Node Name starts with WIN-APP* Try removing the asterisk and see if it works. I created a test alert which worked without the asterisk and failed with the asterisk.

I can't provide any input towards a solution. Just an interested party sticking his nose in but I wanted to point out that sotherls' signature seems to suggest that it's APM 2.0.

This is a bit more complicated than I originally thought since the canned report for 95th Percentile Traffic Rate is an SQL query. I was able to tweak the report so that it reports the total 95% receive, transmit and max for interfaces with a specific custom property. However, I don't know enough SQL to have it provide the…

Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't notice this myself but I'm having the same problem in Opera.

This is the way I thought it worked:* If an IP address is not specified in the HTTP monitor, Orion polls (connects) to port 80 of the node's IP address. * If an IP address is specified, Orion polls port 80 of the specified URL, say, http://www.google.com . * In either case, the node does not perform any type of polling,…

Oh, in that case, couldn't you simple create additional groups and add them to your existing groups? For example, you'd create groups called File Servers - Austin and SQL Servers - Austin and place them inside of _Austin. Then, when you expand _Austin, you would see the corresponding subgroups.

This information is usually tracked by the Windows security event log as long as you have enabled that level of auditing on the server. I have two suggestions, based on your needs. 1) If you're looking to be alerted when a specific user logs in, this is possible with NPM. Install the Windows Event Forwarder from your…

Yes, this functionality is present in APM 2.

Can you clarify what kind of assistance you're looking for? Are you having trouble establishing a link to your custom page? Or is it the development of the custom page you're having trouble with?

You can create a custom SQL report that will provide this information. If you use the following SQL query I threw together, it will provide you the information you're looking for. It's not pretty but it should work for the most part. select alertdefinitions.alertname as Alert, alertdefinitions.alertdescription as…

Sorry for the slow response. I'm hoping you opened a support ticket already but to follow up, I'm not seeing the same problem on my side here. If you're still experiencing this problem, the only two suggestions I could give would be to: 1) try removing the resource from this view and then adding it back in 2) launch the…

It doesn't have to be a complex condition. It can simply be a simple condition which reads: "Node Status" is equal to "Down" Remember that each alert will compare its conditions to a single node at a time. Therefore, this alert will apply to all servers—one at a time—but will only trigger if all of your conditions are met.…

You'll probably have to contact customerservice@solarwinds.com to have them make it available to you through your support portal.

If disk statistics were configured in the SolarWinds APM demo, they don't have it listed in the summary. Otherwise, the online demo does give a pretty good feel for it "out of the box".

I don't mean to sound condescending so I apologize if I do. However, there's a difference between pinging a host and resolving the hostname. Can both the NPM server and SNMP trap server resolve the hostname to an IP address and vice versa?
