I'm not aware of any documentation beyond what is on the page where you edit the filter. You're basically entering syntax for the where clause in an SQL query so documentation regarding SQL queries would probably be your best source of information. I noticed they include this statement on the edit filter page. This is an…

Has the name of your NPM server changed? Each node in the database is assigned to a polling engine. If the name of the server running NPM has a different name than the one assigned in the database then you will not see any nodes listed in System Manager. The excerpt below from the NPM Administrators guide describes how to…

The "logging trap" command enables the sending of syslog messages to syslog servers. The destination syslog server is configured with the "logging" command. The "snmp-server enable traps" command enables the sending of trap messages. The destination trap server is configured with the "snmp-server host" command.

On the Select Fields tab in Report Writer there is a function option next to the fields you select. I think you need to select the MAX function in order to select a single maximum value for the day.

You can create the "does not contain" logic by configuring your alert similar to the screenshot below.

I'm running version 8.5.1 and I have five small icons near the top right of the node details page. One of these icons looks like an arrow and is a link to launch a web browser connection. Do you see these on your node details page? Screen shot is attached.

There may be a better way to do this but I would probably use two separate queries/reports for this. One for node assignments and one for interface assignments. Here is the SQL that will produce a node assignment report. select custompollers.uniquename as CustomPollerName, Nodes.Caption as NodeName, CustomPollers.OID,…

Yep, * or % should work. the app will turn your * into a % before it executes the sql query. The only way I can think of to put the alerts in a tree structure would be to write a custom asp page.

I agree. It would be nice if NPM handled cpu utilization for devices with multiple cpu's differently. Here is a link to Cisco's web site that has some good information regarding cpu utilization collection with SNMP. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094a94.shtml

When you create the filter for the report use Physical Address is not equal to and then leave the criteria blank. 

Looks pretty straight-forward. I've tried to recreate the problem with my system but have not had any luck. Sounds like SW support is your best bet at this point. 

If my memory serves me correctly this will happen if the two fields you are choosing do not have the same data type.

The post at the link below indicates that each polling engine can handle about 1000 elements per minute. This means if you have a five minute polling interval then the polling engine will support around 5,000 elements.

Are you trying to display the map at the weather site on your solarwinds page and make it clickable or just create a clickable link to the weather site? Also, what kind of Solarwinds resource are you trying to add this to?

You might check to see if perhaps a filter has been setup on the resources. To do that, click the edit link at the top of the resource.

deverts, You could do this by running an SQL query against the Nodes table in the database. The DNS field in the Nodes table contains the FQDN for each node that NPM was able to resolve a name for. The query below will take the information in the DNS field, remove the domain information, and then update the Caption field…

If you are comfortable with such things, it is possible to change the field length through either the SQL server management studio interface or an alter table query.

Can you post all of the required criteria?

Could you possibly use source commands on the switch to specify that traps and logging get sent from the same interface (example below)? logging source-interface Loopback0 snmp-server trap-source Loopback0

I was going to go with the time wizard angle but I guess scottd already blew that for me ;) I like to use this sql to convert the numbers to time. DECLARE @StartDate DateTime DECLARE @EndDate DateTime SET @StartDate = 40223 SET @EndDate = 40254 select @StartDate as Start, @EndDate as Finish One other clarification. Are you…

You could create a node details view for the account that displays little or no information about the node. Perhaps it could include just the interfaces section?

The SMTP server information is stored in the Target column of the AlertActions table.

You might try running this query and see what values show up in the TicketNumber field for the currently down interfaces. Note that I am assuming that the TicketNumber custom property is a field in the nodes table. select Nodes.Caption, Nodes.TicketNumber, Interfaces.Caption, Interfaces.StatusLED from interfaces join nodes…

Can you post the trigger and suppresion criteria for your alert? The alert suppression function isn't particularly intuitive. I think most people would assume that the suppresion criteria is automatically associated to the trigger criteria but this is not the case. The suppression criteria is basically an independent query…

I have been trying to accomplish this by using a generic syslog alert that uses the "Log the message to file" action. This gives me a text file on the NPM syslog server of all the syslog messages that have been received.

That's strange. I have a ver 10 eval install and a ver 9 production install and both systems show this information in the "About" dialog box.

Which IOS version are you using?

It sounds like your trigger condition should be correct. Have you tried using the Test function for the alert to test the alert trigger? That is a good way to verify that the email configuration is working properly. If you receive the email from the test then I would recommend deleting the alert and creating a new one.

Prof, The SQL query posted earlier can be used in report writer by creating a new report and then selecting Advanced SQL for the report type. Then select the SQL tab and enter the query.

That is a very helpful change. Thanks for the info.
