Unless I'm not understanding you correctly, I'm not seeing this problem. Currently, node management is grouped by vendor and clicking on any of the groups that have less than three nodes shows the correct number of nodes on the right side.

As you have it, your interface alert will never trigger as long as any node is down. The condition in the Alert Suppression tab will be tested against all nodes in NPM, not just the one that triggered this alert. Remove it from the Alert Suppression tab and add it to the Trigger Condition tab and it'll work great.

Yeah, your trigger message should work as is, I believe.

Denny, unless this feature was taken away in v9 SP2, JPEG files seem to be accepted. Mike, you simply have to copy the image you want to the Orion web server (probably into the "images" folder off of the root) and then use the following to specify the logo on the login page. <img src="/images/yourlogo.jpg">

In our context, it would come down to connectors and/or nodes. For example, our DBA would only be interested in the events collected from the respective connector (e.g. SQL Server Auditor or Oracle syslog) across different nodes. On the other hand, especially for systems that wouldn't fall under our purview, I'd simply…

I don't know if this has changed in 8.5 (or 8.5.1) but it looks like most of the Advanced Alert Engine Variables aren't processed when used as map labels such as ${Node.IP_Address} and ${Node.Caption}. However, set any one of the Basic Alert Engine Variables as a label such as ${IP} and there's no problem. Unfortunately,…

There is no way to accomplish what you're asking for as far as I can tell. I even pinged our DBA about this. One suggestion would involve "hacking" the NetPerfMon database to include a new view but then 1) you'd have to update this view everytime you wanted the total (or any other mass calcuation) for another field and 2)…

I don't mean to speak for Denny but the feature I believe that made it into 9.5 was the ability to add applications to maps. Therefore, it's possible to group applications together in a map and accordingly, have that map status change according to the applications that it contains. Your feature request to have node status…

Why not create an application monitor with multiple SQL Server User Experience Monitor components? Configure the query in each monitor to retrieve the size for different databases. Then label the component with the name of the database. Finally, create the alert that will trigger when the application status goes down and…

I don't know what the SQL query for your current report looks like but couldn't you simply add a condition to the query where unpluggable <> '1'?

The reset condition can be anything really, like Node Name is equal to <name of NPM server> Just use any condition that you know will always be true.

Unless I'm mistaken, mandg is attempting to create an account with rights to modify APM and not just the nodes. If that's the case, it seems that admin rights are currently required.

Yes, once the alert is acknowledged, the alert will indicate:* who acknowledged * whether they acknowledged from System Manager or the web console * date and time of acknowledgement Here's a sample.

I guess I was too brief in my earlier reply. My suggestion would be to use Advanced Alerts to accomplish this. * You could then use alert suppression to fire the alert only if none of the three or more nodes are up * If you can upgrade to NPM v10, you'll have access to create groups of nodes and accordingly, alert based…

To expand on your last point, you mention that deployment of the agents can be handled from the LEM Manager. Is this only for updating agents or can the LEM Manager be used for initial deployment as well? In looking over the LEM installation guide, I see the documented steps for single (local) installations and the Remote…

Hotfix 2 for 8.5 has been available for over a month now. You can check out the following thread for more details: Orion 8.5 Hotfix 1+2 available

The main restriction to be aware of in this regard is that you can only have one "Manager" appliance. In addition to database appliances, though, you can also have appliances to use as network sensors or logging servers. Splitting your load up in this fashion can sometimes help with Manager performance - especially if you…

aLTeReGo‌, thanks for the response. Once the automatic configuration failed, we attempted the manual route as outlined in the SAM manual. This is on Windows Server 2012 R2. Of the six steps to manually configure AppInsight for IIS‌, we skipped the step for the certificate since we're trying to get this working over HTTP.…

Probably too obvious but I'm guessing the use of the DirectLink account is out of the question?

I see what you're saying. Have you tried adding the Universal Device Poller Status resource to the view to see if it meets your needs?

Wow, good catch. I have no idea what Maxbps_95 is so I think your revision might actually be more accurate. I'm glad it worked out for you.

As far as I know, this just isn't possible at all. The best you can do is set the action(s) not to trigger if the alert has been acknowledged. However, as you've laid it out, I can see how this could be useful so perhaps a feature request is in order?

Can you be more specific about what you're trying to accomplish or what information you'd like to include on the report?

curtisi‌, speaking of disabling accounts, how is LEM able to accomplish this? I mean, for actions like "Disable Domain User Account" or even "Remove Domain User from Group", how does LEM obtain the necessary permissions to complete these tasks?

I was initially going to suggest using the TCP Port Monitor but since you specified the login prompt as a success factor, you'll probably going to need to code a VB/Powershell/Perl script to accomplish this. Then, of course, use the corresponding script monitor.

Phil, I appreciate the detailed response! Use the Agent connectivity status to determine whether or not Agents are connected * Open your LEM Console and log into your LEM Manager. * Click the Manage tab, and then click Nodes. * Filter your list by the Status column using the Refine Results pane. * Alternately, check the…

Have you considered adding the "Universal Device Poller Status" resource to the "Node Details" view?

I agree with you, as long as this is an option on top of the way the conditions are currently defined. If it had to be a choice between "check-to-select" and the existing method used in defining conditions, I have to vote for the current method. It allows me to take advantage of the standard naming scheme we use for…

One common suggestion would be to find out if one of your resources is causing the web page to load slowly. You can either remove resources from your defined view, one at a time. Even better, you can duplicate the existing view by adding resources, one at a time. With some luck, this will narrow down the resource that is…

Its the first one the bandwidth would have to ramain in the triggered alert status for 5 min and would then do the corresponding steps you have chosen for it to follow. I've read that once the condition trigger is met, it will check again at the delayed interval before actually triggering. In other words, using the…
