  • Thanks for your reply. I did try a different browser and also a different user to no avail. So I actually have 2 SolarWinds instances in this same environment, one works and the other doesn’t! Granted one is NPM 12 and the other (not working) one is 12.2 Will try restarting SWIS and IIS and see if that does it.
  • Hey hansons​, I'm trying to remember but I think we ended up uninstalling it manually and reinstalling manually on the target servers... I think. Sorry, that's probably not much help but its been a while since we ran into this.
  • muckman, this is amazing - Should be built in!
  • yaquaholic, what is the full string you have in the Display Settings? Looks like you may have a variable in there at the end but its off the textbox. This is exactly what I've been trying to do but didn't find your question before I posted mine!
  • THIS, "My new client is flabbergasted that they cannot send alerts on an SNMP trap." One Thousand times THIS!!! Also totally agree on your other points... I have yet to find a use for AppStack, especially since NPM nodes don't even show up...What gives!? Automated discovery is a joke... Regarding AppInsight.... totally…
  • Bump!! Forgot about this - till having the same problem a year later!
  • Curious, how did you know it was this particular KB? I'm running into the same problem. I have a netpath assigned for our internal OWA URL to 3 different probes (all solarwinds servers actually) in 3 different data centers Netpath only returns data on one of the servers, the other two are seeing the "no data found" error.…
  • We have robust SQL alwayson implementation: (each pastel square is a separate datacenter) SQL team handles the DB failover and we've tested successfully a few times already with maybe a minute of downtime - been pretty impressed with it so far.
  • I pretty much have to do that after every time we fail over. The FQDN gets overwritten with 'null' and reports fail to send. We have dns aliases for HA...
  • Interesting; so is POSH something that has to be installed or is just a moniker for Powershell ran against SQL? Which then I guess would just be a PowerShell monitor in SAM? Makes you wonder if this is what all the "custom performance monitors" are in the AppInsight for SQL template...
  • Hello @AHooks, FINALLY; I was beginning to think I was the only one! Yes you're right, adding USERS does seem to behave as expected, it's only when the AD group is initially empty as you said that it throws Orion for a loop, very strange indeed!
  • I don't believe that is true at all. I have plenty of rules that alert on other objects besides "Node" but I still have access to the nodes custom properties in the alert actions. To multipl3x's issue, I'm having the same thing. My alert condition object is node (in this case): I have a handful of CPs: Yet, when I go to…
  • Not a bad idea. Our customer needed to have groupings of devices by function rather than location. So we actually have about 60 groups of devices by function or system owner really, and that group only gets emailed for devices in that group We could have gone the custom property route and just store the email in there, but…
  • Thank you aLTeReGO, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear! We actually got approval to dcpromo a VM in our lab so we'll be testing this in the very near future. Again, thanks for you response.
  • I hear ya, I'm running into the same thing - and the documentation from both solarwinds and servicenow is horrible. Whatever you do, don't submit a ticket to support to help you on this because they have even less of a clue than we do... All the fields that you see in the properties selection box should be from the…
  • How did you figure out the curl command? I was trying to create a curl command to create a group (container) with a simple member definition based on a custom property but I couldn't quite get the syntax correct. Is there an easy way perhaps using SWQL studio to get the curl syntax right? this is what I was trying - I…
  • oh my gosh, its like the clouds parted and the flowers bloomed! Love it when its easy! THANKS!
  • True, but I find that to occur less often than not. In my particular case I was trying to create two tables, one that showed the amount of times a CPU Warning alert occurred, and the other the same thing but for CPU Critical. I couldn't just duplicate the warning and change the data source. I had to create an entirely new…
  • Thanks mesverrum​! I'll give that a shot and report back.
  • rschroeder​, thanks for the response. Yes, that is the article that support guided me to. But when I read that I'm not sure what its saying its going to do. Does it imply that solarwinds will automatically re-trigger an alert that has already triggered if its been more than "AutoClearAlertInterfanInMinutes"? I don't…
  • Thank you tomas.vrabel​!!
  • I'm on the latest and greatest, NPM 12.2/ SAM 6.5 - turning the alert off, clears all instances of alert active meaning the Active Alerts screen will not show the alert anymore. What that also means is as soon as you turn the alert back on, all actions fire again. What I'm current experimenting with is adding the new…
  • Well we have 2 users. Lets say user1 and user2. User2 has an account limitation defined so that they only see SQL servers in orion. user2 created a report under their orion account and created a schedule to send it in an email. when that schedule runs the pdf report that gets attached to the email shows the account of…
  • Thank you again! I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll be using this (courteous of your help from your other post) to script creating a BUNCH of groups
  • Thank you, janene16​ , I was afraid of that! Looks like well have to use conditions then.
  • The account we’re using doesn’t have any limitations. And interestingly enough, I was performing some tests earlier and the same query above returns about 126,000 records in about 10 seconds according to swql studio (21,060 interfaces * 6) where 6 is the amount of data points per interface per hour. If I do that query with…
  • Awesome! Glad you got it to work!
  • HAH! That's an awesome/SCARY pic!! Heaven forbid I ever see something like that in person! In our case the OTV link provides internet access between our two datacenters. But each datacenter has its own internet access so this link is really only used in DR scenarios if one DC loses its internet.
  • I really don't think report even works. I've been forced to change some 1000 components back to inheriting because we broke inheritance testing out base lining yet this report shows the exact same number of components "not inheriting" as it did before...
  • Im using this as an alert trigger action after a node reboot. What was happening was we were getting a lot of alerts for service downs after a reboot waiting for them to come back up. Deployed this script as a trigger action to put the node in maintenance mode for a couple minutes and voila, no more service down alerts!…
