No problem. It can be a bit obtuse sometimes to get the info-bit you need from the other variables.

Please stop, Bronx..... You really need not give such ideas to Windows Marketing team. Feels a bit too much like you are punking the rest of us.

I like the users on Thwack, and we have some especially talented folks who post out various code-goodies for us to share. Having said that, the code-goodies are generally written to solve A specific problem. If that auto-magic update doesn't fit what you do, suddenly you have a tripped alert, and something to fix. So, nice…

deiberts This is already possible. There is a caveat or two you need to be aware of, but you can do this now. Just a bit of typing. So, you can do this one of two ways 1) Start downloading the "Run All" configs, instead of "Run" configs. Good - does not really consume additional row space in your database, which can get…

Congrats Leon !! Okay...anyone else besides me have the urge to just type "Hi, Leon !" (never mind if you don't get the reference......)

There needs to be an emote for face-palm.

Temporary workaround try using this: ${SQL:select IP_Address from dbo.Nodes where NodeID = ${Nodeid}} If you are doing the variable builder, probably just need the portion from select to the ${NodeID} as it will build out the rest.

Looks good, and you are welcome.

Keep in mind - while it may initially seem tempting to do a short term look (aka less than one hour) someone downloading an ISO file, or something like that across your link will cause enough positive, but perfectly normal user actions that the alert will become bothersome. Relatively normal for a WAN circuit to see 100%…

This is a little unnerving - was going to put in just such a request today, to solve a problem I am working through.

Maria; I am sure there was some horrible mistake made. jbiggley didn't REALLY want that $75 card. I would be happy to help you out by giving it a good loving home though.

I won't vouch for the speed of it: Create a group with two dynamic queries. One for "Nodes Not Up" and another in the same group "Apps Not Up" Give the account a limitation of the single group that you just created Workable ?

Jiri is correct on not available in the Config Change Templates area, however, you could do this with Compliance reporting. Rule to search for your Access list, then run the scripts you want as a remediation script. You would not be able to do the "else" portion, but that would be easily covered by two rules.

Every time I see that meme - I would love to know what happened when Gates got off the stage, and went back to the "Developer" area. Or better yet, when the Developer area watching it thought when it blue screened.

Being able to tie in the downloaded configs per device and per interface to the config change templates would be a HUGE HUGE win for SolarWinds and ridiculously useful. Bonus points - being able to "construct" a temp ACL, apply using logic from the config files in NCM on where to find it and apply. Apply the temp ACL to…

A site I use that is similar was well - REGex TESTER v1.5.3 - test/validate regular expressions, online tester

DEFINITELY !!! If you are looking for the glamor job, IT is usually not it! (pun not intended there, but go for it)

Looking in this thread Re: Help... how can I alert on a sharp change in the WAN Utilization? The Delta numbers at the bottom can be changed to reflect desired change rates. This looks at the average last hour vs last 7 days. It requires a custom property call "ThresholdCheck" on the particular interfaces you want to watch.…

Throw this into report writer, put in the name of your NCM database, adjust your grouping. Comment section on the rules can be used to give a "human readable" output of what you are doing. Select P.Name AS Policy_Name, PR.Name AS Rule_Name, PR.Comment from [YourConfigMgmtdb].dbo.PolicyRuleAssignment PRA Inner Join…

Michal; I would think for most the 'single poller' method would be just fine if we were just checking a handful of /24s. IPAM seems to do that without really any noticeable load increase. What would be outstanding use of APs is when you are querying domain controllers for login information and the various DHCP servers. I…

You create a new application monitor template. Add a component of Linux/Unix script monitor. It goes in the script box. Apply the monitor to the node running MySQL.

Not terribly hard to do this. Least, assuming you are running MySQL on linux. Use standard linux component monitor. I used 600 seconds, because well, if you are THAT far behind, something is amiss. The threshold is generally set for 10 to 20 seconds, so 600 would definitely break that. Null will happen if your slave I/O is…

Under your <install area>\Orion\NCM directory, there is a sub directory for scripts. Should be one on each of your pollers. Ensure your new scripts are on the main engine, and all additional pollers. You will need to also copy over all reports and device templates. There is a write up on NCM merged servers gotchas.

Steven; You can still run NCM operations from your primary poller - aka "Core" These items above apply only when you merge your NCM server back to your core AND select the distributed NCM to the pollers option. Previously - if you ran separate NPM and NCM servers - they NCM server would do all the work. IF all of your…

This would be part of a Custom SQL alert. The top part is already given to you on the Interface Custom SQL, so you just need to use the parts from the inner join down. It looks for a custom property on the interface of "ThresholdCheck" so you can determine which circuits are involved. This checks the utilization from 9…

aarond Look up "Merged Servers Gotchas" under my name. The top section has a list of files, and a section on the Config Archive folder. There are portions you will not need, but the basics of what you are asking for are covered there. Link to page: Upgrading NCM - merged servers gotchas

Well, the example we just listed above would tell you that you have OTHER than your desired users. In order to check for a list of users, probably best to make each one an item in your rule set. Use the advanced block, and wrap the parenthesis around the entire group of users. So that it reads you MUST find each of these…

Here..made it even easier for you: Linux Command Be sure your command gives a numeric value out as a return, no spaces or such.

rgward; Not sure if this is what you meant, but if you configure a job to write out to a SMB share somewhere - you can do this remotely. Format would be \\servername\ShareName\NameOfOutputFile *Please see my updated notes above. Suggestion is to use \\servername\ShareName\${HostName}NameOfOutputFile The catch that some may…

Lukas just got there a moment sooner!
