  • Thank you! Yep, this is what I needed. basic formatting - available as part of the 'variable browser' in email alert action. advanced formatting - reach for SWQL. Have a good weekend.
  • I removed the line breaks from my code (in Notepad++). After removing the line breaks HTML works as expected. Yeah, the carriage return replacement is a pain. Pretty much eliminates the ability to use style sheets for alerts. Inline style directives work fine but, as stated above, pretty labor intensive. Hopefully they can…
  • Thank you. These replies were very helpful. I also found a couple of templates on Thwack. One named "Alert Templates.zip". In particular a few of the basic HTML templates helped me to get started. Appreciate the assistance. Please mark question as answered.
  • Ok. Again more research may have solved this one. I had the Trigger Conditions in the alert set up as Application triggers. Needed to set up alert as a Component alert. After changing to a component alert the Component alert macros started coming through. Big thanks to "Shuth" at the following post who provided the answer:…
  • O.K. perhaps answering my own question? Found a post that suggested ${StatisticsData} and ${ComponentMessage} might do the trick. I wonder if the specific reference might be ${StatisticsData.AccountStatus} and/or ${ComponentMessage.AccountName} , or other? I can do some testing with this. Any member of the community please…
  • Cool. Thanks everyone for responses. As of now I've got most of this working: * Created an application with name something like Test Account Lockout * I have about a dozen accounts to check so current plan to create individual Component Monitors for each account rather than looping through all accounts in a single…
  • thank you. that works.
  • Yes, thank you. I found the link.
  • Thank you for your reply. I am testing the Perfstack project visibility using my own account which is a full Solarwinds admin – no account limitation in play. Yes, I’m also thinking a bug in the new feature. But I’m open to the idea that I am doing something wrong. I’m fairly new to Solarwinds so I don’t know the SAM or…
  • No problem. Thank you for your assistance. Based on the correspondence received I believe that 1) pulling perf counters directly from servers (assuming Solarwinds agent loaded) is fairly lightweight in terms or resources, 2) pulling same perf counter from a SCOM database would require a) powershell component monitor, which…
  • Yes. Understood. However, my requirement is to not go out to the source server with Solarwinds polling and collect the data. I have to get the data from another monitoring tool - in this case SCOM. Perhaps a bigger question is - Does Solarwinds have the potential to act as an integration hub for data from different…
  • I solved my own problem. Answer: yes, CTEs will work in report queries. But: you have to put a semicolon ";" at the start of the query. My best guess for the reason: CTEs have to run at the start of a batch. The semicolon ends a batch and permits a new batch to be started. For those of us who administer Microsoft SQL if…
  • Thank you. Yes, I think that the problem has been solved. Issue: these Exchange hosts were originally set up for SNMP polling. As part of that disk volumes available were selected in the Inventory page. It appears that mounted disks with no drive letter are not discovered when using SNMP polling. A few months ago we…
  • Thinking this through perhaps I need to refine the original question / issue: SOLARWINDS DOES NOT APPEAR TO SEE MOUNTED VOLUMES ON WINDOWS SERVERS THAT DO NOT HAVE A DRIVE LETTER ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. However, WMI query against the server using win32_volume class does reveal these drives. Can someone offer ideas on how to…
