  • Yes the answer is wrong... from your own LEM info block: Please score my answer as correct... thanks...
  • So this is almost 2 years old... any update??
  • So the hint for today's (the 28th) is not related to the question.... just an FYI it was yesterdays hint.. which was also not really related...
  • I get a message that the survey is not accepting additional responses.. but it also says day 8 when this is day 7...
  • This can be done today, albeit it outside of Solarwinds... replicate the main database into an Enterprise Data Warehouse and then have the database team write a routine that runs periodically to append new data from the main database to the warehouse database... use the BI tool of your choice to write reports against the…
  • So what did I miss here.. Fines was the only answer specifically called out in the hint...
  • It actually goes deeper than that.. you really need a fully populated and related CMDB so that your have the devices on your network in it, understand the relationships between then, and then the Changes have to be written against the correct CI so that when a bump in the night happens and you look at what Changes went in…
  • Sorry for all this... it turns out we had a typo on the trigger and so the name of the SQL server was wrong.... it all is working fine. Thanks for your help.
  • Not sure if what I said in the last post made any sense... then I test the trigger is runs through and completes successfully and the string variables are replaced with the correct values but when I look in the database the Suppress value for the elements that should be suppressed are still 0, not 1.
  • Ok that makes sense.... when we test the trigger it fills in the values for the strings but the values are not written to the database....
  • This is the one that fails: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn>sqlcmd.exe -S SQLPRO06 -U Or ion -P ********* -d NetPerfMon -Q "UPDATE Nodes SET Suppress = 1 WHERE ((Nodes. SuppressGroup LIKE '${SuppressGroup}%') AND (Nodes.SuppressNum > '${SuppressNum} ') AND (Nodes.Suppress = 0))" HResult 0x35, Level 16,…
  • OK changing the historical data to last 24 hours resolved the issue.. thanks for being patient and explaining...
  • So we have the fields implemented and working with some test equipment... when we run the trigger it reads the values from the DB for SummaryGroup and SuppressNum but it does not change the value in the DB for the elements that should be suppressed. If I drop the command into a DOS box I get a Named Pipe error for remote…
  • My apologies Steven for not picking up on what you were alluding to... I understand your point.. that said is there a way to adjust the scale on the Y Axis? Right now if my window does not include the large values on the far left the scale is from 100K to -100K which is still resulting in essentially all things being…
  • Hmmm OK it does not appear to be in AD.. let me keep looking...
  • What I meant was when I go to a node under Manage Nodes I see this: and CPU and Memory are not listed here and so you can not adjust the polling interval for them.. but when you list resources for a given node you see this: and CPU & Memory are listed.... So it looks like that the Polling interval for Statistics can be…
  • It looks to me like this information is being pulled from Active Directory for servers... Cisco devices etc. not sure. Running an experiment with one of my Windows boxes to valid.. should have empirical data Monday to ensure things get replicated correctly and give me a "true or false" indicator... will let you know Monday.
  • I understand your answer aLTeReGo but when I look I see this: so I see that the Average data is 34.05 with the Min/Max being 0 to 186.. so my question is where is the light blue bar representing 0 to 186... or am I missing something?
  • So looking at the screen it seems like you are trying to alert on disk volume utilization... true? If so you will want to create an alert on a node where disk volume utilization is ">" than a "certain value" and the volume type is a fixed disk... here is an example of of a trigger condition for one of ours: and this is not…
  • So just to try and clarify the documentation states for Detailed Statistics Retention it is for anything collected within a time frame shorter than one hour.. under the working assumption you are polling for Up/Down status more frequently than 1 hour then yes Availability will follow the schedule outlined.. also the 365…
  • Well yes and no... so we have a Master Node Down alert that is pretty simple.. Node down for 3 polling cycle and it's down and the trigger action fires.. no custom properties involved.. also have a couple of alerts targeted as specific teams for certain devices with a separate down alert with the Custom Property involved…
  • So it looks like in your screen post that you have gone to the Alerts selection off of the Home menu bar and that will show you what the current active alerts are... if you are not seeing a component down alert there then as aLTeReGo has pointed out you either don't have a component down at the time or it is not enabled..…
  • I have 3 reports that I have created in Report Writer that show up on my own view... 10 top current servers by CPU, Memory, and then top 10 volumes by utilization.. the reports refresh when the page reloads... you do the same for network interface utilization etc...
  • I know within Microsoft SQL you can limit the memory used so if for example the box has 16GB on it you can set sqlserver.exe to use only upto 10GB (or whatever portion of the 16GB you want to set)...
  • What version of APM was this on and what was the hotfix you applied?
  • No, I can select either show Link Speed or Link Utilization and nothing appeared... on a side note I redid the map and now everything shows up but I can't get the guys on the Network side to fess up to any changes they made... odd...

  • OK, I can see what you mean and I guess that makes sense... follow up question.. in the expanded view of a node under Manage Nodes why do I not see CPU? I see all the other resources selected.. but not CPU.. just curious...
  • What screen are you in when you took the initial screenshot?
  • OK thanks... that is what I thought but appreciate the verification.
