I'm able to construct and alert off of specific varbinds but I can't get the information in the varbind into the actual text of the alert. Are you able to do that?

So these trap messages can be pretty large. Is there anyway to pick and choose, maybe using specific varbinds, what is placed into the alert notification message? I'd like to provide a summary of the needed information in the alarm not the entire trap message.

Did you ever figure out how to get specific varbinds into an Orion alert notification?

Thanks again for the help. I don't see a view named VolumeUsage_details in SMSS under views. I do see one named VolumeUsage so I changed the query to use that and it seems to return some accurate info. Just using the query without changing the values of hours or percentage I see three volumes in my environment that have…

Unfortunately, I'm not a SQL guy but it seems the database name is different from mine along with some table names. In the script that is posted it says Orion.Solarwinds while my database is named SolarWindsOrion. The query also mentions a table called VolumeUsage_Detail. I don't have a table by that name in my…

Yep that is how I created it. It works also in my alerts but I was wondering how I could view the volumes that would have this property setting set.

Thanks for your reply. The first task I completed was to create the two custom properties. Presently, I have no values set for the custom properties. Do I have to enter a value? I removed the last line and I still get an error when I select validate.

There is nothing weird about my environment and it clearly didn't create the directory. Additionally, I did run the installer as a local administrator. I easily duplicated the issue several times.

I don't see any custom properties when I edit properties of the specific volume.

So that's what I did but when I copy the SQL query into the field and select validate it complains about the query. I copied the query in SSMS and it doesn't like the query either so I'm presuming it's a syntax issue?

I don't mind putting effort into something that is functional. Do you have a specific solution in mind that you use for this scenario?

Haha. I did read it before I posted and then I read it again after you included the link. Third times a charm.

So I've created a custom property for volumes. I assigned to a specific volume for testing purposes. Where can you see custom properties assigned to volumes? Under Manage nodes you can view every custom property assigned to a node. I don't see the ability to see custom properties nor manage them for nodes. Thank you for…

Hello, So I'm relatively new to SolarWinds. Where would you set this SQL query up to run. Is it in an alert? I've setup the custom properties and am attempting to set this SQL query up in a trigger condition but I'm not having much success yet. I'm I in the correct place or do you set this SQL query up to run somewhere…

It isn't a firewall issue. I think I figured it out. During the initial install of SAM it requests for a location to install the bits. I changed the location to E:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion from the default. I didn't create this location though. I assumed it would create the directory during the installation…

I have the alert notifications set already to only send the alert during business hours. The problem is it doesn't if the alert has already been triggered during none business hours. That is my problem. We have numerous machines that are not critical but we'd like to know if they have disk space issues or if they are down.…

Thank you both for responding. I'm trying to avoid getting deep into configuration and then find out there was some better methodology. Sounds like it's a little of both and user preference. Thanks.

Have you actually read the document on windows failover clustering from the link you included because it doesn’t answer my question. The templates for windows failover clustering don’t have documentation on how they should be applied and that kb doesn’t clarify either. Do I apply the template to both nodes or the cluster…

It looks like the powershell module is installed with the beta version of the sdk.

So where do you get the SolarWinds powershell module from? There is a link for the SDK, but nothing for PowerShell that I can find via that link other than some scripts. I appreciate your help but I don't think this should be marked as the correct answer.
