This is still an issue. The alert trigger just says alert me when a Node Status is equal to down and Node Status is not equal to unmanaged. There are no Alert Suppression entries. It is set to trigger immediately. I have Basic Alerts off right now because our Trigger Actions for the Advanced Alert are needed, but I am…

I guess I assumed I had done something wrong because my poller no longer works. How do I test my custom poller?

I am talking about in the message sent for an Advanced Alert. Orion 8.1.0

Surely someone has already tried to solve this problem. Anyone?

I wrote the script to work with SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor V9.0. This is the URL I use in to post to ack alerts (using Python): starturl = 'http://' + OrionIP + '/Orion/Login.aspx?AccountID=' + AccountID + '&Password=' + Password…

Another interesting note, I changed my script to send a decimal value (0.09) and set the alert to trigger at .8 and it still alerts. The value from the host is 0.09, but Solarwinds thinks that is greater than .8.

I am returning a number. Is there something specific I need to do to tell Solarwinds to take this number and treat it like a number? This is the script being run to return the value: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $partition = "."; my $partmaps =…

OK, but is this considered a product defect? Is there any plan to create a fix for this issue? I prefer not to have to manually edit the database.

I finally figured this out. The solution was two particular steps that needed to be taken. Once I got it right I discovered several hosts that has SNMP halted. First, in order to generate an alert for an application, I have to have that application added to the host. In my case, I am only monitoring one application on my…

That isn't working. I set the alert to alert if System Name is empty then stopped snmp service on my ESX host and I don't get any alerts.

OK, perhaps I am just confused but when I use the Event view and select the events then click the "Clear Select Events" button it clears the events from the web view, but in the System Manager on the Advanced Alerts view I do not see the 'Acknowledged' check box getting checked. Does this mean it is acknowledged, but it…

I like your idea for the hearbeat, but I am wondering how you reset the alert after it is triggered so it will trigger again the next day.

Note that one more change needs to be made to the alertmon.py script. On line 228, the following text needs to be take off the end of the line: and time.strftime('%A')!='Wednesday' I had it in there to test alert escalation and didn't get it out before I tar'd it up. I don't see any way to replace or delete my uploads.

I haven't tested this yet, but I think I figured it out. I set the trigger to fire if Status Description not equal to Application is running. I will test when I have a chance.

Never mind. I already figured it out. I added a complex condition that said if the Status is greater thank or equal to 80%. I think that is going to do the trick. I will be testing it tomorrow.

This is the Python code I have tried to acknowledge an alert I created manually: import urllib2 class SmartRedirectHandler(urllib2.HTTPRedirectHandler): def http_error_302(self, req, fp, code, msg, headers): result = urllib2.HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_302(self, req, fp,code, msg,headers) result.status = code return…

I talked to Garrison in support about this and I discovered that the issue is related to the alert suppression settings. I had two alert suppression settings that stated don’t send the alert if the node status is down or node status is unmanaged. It appears that the alert suppression settings are not specific to the node…

Can I get a response to this issue please? Do I need to open a support ticket?

Can I get some love here? Anyone?
