Thank you! The answer provided confirms my own reading on the subject. We have advised our Linux team that OOM killer activity gets tracked in Syslog, and asked if they want to configure Syslog to forward into Solarwinds for the couple of servers where they have OOM misbehavior. Marking answer from Adam.Beedell as Verified.

Thank you! This provided exactly the information needed.

Thanks for your response. However... I'm not working on that project any more. In fact, I no longer work for that organization. I plan to close this question. I do appreciate the assist, though.

Thank you! One further question: anyone know of a way to programmatically add custom properties to running applications, rather than adding to each running application individually?

I think I may have answered my own question. After discussing with team members and some research, answer looks like the following: * windows event log monitor (component) parses the event log looking for entries that match the configured criteria * when the component finds matching data, the component goes into critical…

Opened a ticket with technical support. Solarwinds acknowledges this as a product bug, as detailed below: Author: Support Team - Technical Support Address [technicalsupport@solarwinds.com] Recipient: robertxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hello Robert, Thank you for your patience, I have heard back from my development team. My Development…

Accessing <eoc site>/admin/swis.aspx >> select entity: NCM.NodeProperties >> generate select query >> . Execute Query. No data returned. No errors, just nothing returned (screenshot). We have other data reports that run out of EOC pulling from NPM tables - node and interface tables. These run successfully without errors…

Under Cirrus I don't have an NCM.NodeProperties. However, I do have a Cirrus.NodeProperties table. Right-mouse >> generate select statement also returns the "Subqueries are not supported" error box (screenshot).

SELECT TOP 1000 NodeID, CoreNodeID, NodeGroup FROM NCM.NodeProperties I opened up SWQL studio, connected to my EOC server, data schema browse (left pane) to NCM.NodeProperties, right-mouse click and 'Generate Select Statement'. Remove some of the fields for clarity. Note these queries run fine in regular Orion. Just not in…

Thank you. I have opened a case with Solarwinds support: ticket #01215578 I've reviewed the permissions requirements in the linked document. To the best of my knowledge permissions set up correctly. I also generated debug logs for the AppInsight application. The problem is - the debug logs only provide information if the…

Ohh... the upgrade wiped out ALL of the .TRAP files on the main polling server. Only trap templates present are ForwardSysLog, Orion-Generic-Alert (new?), Orion-Detailed-Alert (new?). Thank the Maker I have my custom Netcool trap templates backed up somewhere else. Restoring the templates to the \Orion folder permits my…

Solved it. I can change the extension in the download dialog. Change extension from MSI to TXT and it downloads fine. I spend most of my day in Solarwinds admin or SQL/SWQL data management activities. Sometime forget my basic Windows admin skills. Cheers.

O.K. I think I figured it out. It's the MSI extension. I can download files with other extensions, but not MSIs. Probably an organizational policy thing. I work for a large government agency. No chance I'm going to get an exception to download this file. An chance the Solarwinds Agent download is available with any other…

Thank you. I received my Thwack points for the surveys.

I FOUND IT. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/ipam/content/ipam-add-windows-credentials.htm Cheers.

Closing... the new template now shows up without a service restart. I think service restart was required in a previous version.

After further research I answered my own question: ${N=SwisEntity;M=InPercentUtil} ${N=SwisEntity;M=OutPercentUtil} assuming the alert context is "Interface".

correction: to alert variable syntax. thanks.

I've got a (potential) answer. Found a Cisco document that explains bits-per-second from that vendor's perspective (link below). According to this document Cisco calculates bps on a weighted average over 5 minute moving window. Translated into Solarwinds terms, if I poll my interface every 9 minutes, I get the Cisco last 5…

Thank you! Marking question answered.

More research on Thwack revealed the answer. Information available via database query. https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/How-to-view-upgrade-history-and-module-version-information?language=en_US Cheers.

Yes, I see it! Problem solved. Thanks for your help.

Thank you! Query using Navigation Properties runs multiple time faster that the same query using Joins.

Thank you. I have submitted a Feature Request for a Notes field in the Edit Account section. Question is considered as answered.

I'm replying to my own question again. But... It looks like the group I want to use shows up as a Distribution Group in AD, not a Security Group. I see some threads on this forum that suggests Solarwinds can't use distribution groups for authentication. Can someone please confirm that we can't use distro groups for…

Forgive me for 'replying' to my own question. The group name in question has 'dots' in the name: example: MYDOMAIN\West.Engineering.Group . However, adding the group Solarwinds search feature took out the 'dots'. like: MYDOMAIN\WestEngineeringGroup Looking in AD Administrative Center the Group Name is different than the…

Thank you. I've just started working with modern dashboards. I've got a console for one server class we monitor. The service owner has been requesting a few updates. I'm going to try and recreate the console in a modern dashboard. We'll see how the customer likes the new dashboards. Please mark the question as answered.

Thank you! This is very helpful. Does Solarwinds make available some kind of design document / functional specification for Cortex? I'm still not clear about some of the concepts; "the Cortex framework do not deal with things like data storage", then " Cortex will handle the data storage for the model". Thanks much.

I may have (halfway) answered my own question. VMAN basic polling does not pull disk space counters. VMAN Orion polling pulls disk counters. Looks like our VMAN system is set up as basic (I didn't set it up). Now just to figure out what it means to set up as VMAN Orion polling. Can someone offer any tips, or perhaps a link…

Request: would be great if Solarwinds would publish a CAC authentication setup and troubleshooting guide. BTW - CAC means "Common Access Card" - it's the standard smart card for U.S. Military. I think every military command uses Solarwinds in some capacity. And yes, CAC logons are sometimes problematic. Thanks much. Cheers.
