We figured out a painful workaround to get this to work. Basically when a trap comes into the system that triggers a alert the alert runs a script that takes the $message and rips out only the info we care about and then the script send out the alert. Every group I work with gets a little frustrated with the time it takes…

The LDAP user experince monitor will fix the exact problem I am trying to resolve and will probably be more efficient. I am just waiting until I can officially run it in production. For my company that means at least 2 months after the official release date. I just need to monitor for a service account being locked today.…

I have been working on getting making this our primary trap receiver for a about a year now. If you need any addtional help I would be happy to share our experience. On that note the variables thing number one on our wish list right now.

Thanks! That looks like it will do the trick.

I would love to see a preview. This is something we have been hoping for.

Yes I have tried plugging in the actual URL and port into a browser and I can get to the URL fine. I can do this from both my workstation and the server. 

I attached the screenshot. top part - This is what the details of the link look like. bottom part part- This is what the details page looks like. For the custom property it is a text property that is the exact same link in every entry. here is the full link. <a target=_blank…

Yes. I have tried using both settings at the same time and either one separately.

Okay, thanks for the help!

I had the same issue with the some Exchange servers. It worked out easier for me to go add those servers to the alert suppression so they did not trigger pages to our on-call. 

Thanks! I'll go start reading.

After playing around with Log Forwarder for windows I am not sure it does what I need. The issue I am seeing is I cannot filter what events are being sent by using a search string in the event message text itself. This is an issue because ,While I could send all event's with an id of 644, I only want events with with…

It looks like most of the missed traps are possibly just very badly delayed. We see some that look like they are delayed 3 hours. Is there any way to look at what queued up for traps in the system realtime?

Okay maybe I was a little quick. It did fix the issue for the one server but then about 16 other servers showed down and had the same symptoms a little after making that change. So I changed it back and they came back online and the original server showed offline again.

Our enviroment is pretty simple we have one dedicated Orion server and one dedicated Orion database server. I upgraded these servers and did not change any names or accounts. Has the name of your NPM server changed?-- Same server same for npm and we only have the one polling engine. Do you mean the Website is showing all…

I am working on getting a sniffer put out there. It is a big approval process for our company. I did go turn off the Authentication in the SNMP service and I am still seeing these. I get a little over 400 traps every hour. Thanks.

I downloaded the Log Forwarder and I am going to start playing with it. Honestly though I am not sure I will be able to convince our Sys Admins to Install it on the our DC. Any other thoughts on how to do it if I cannot get them to install the Log Forwarder?

According to the Owners the website has not changed. And now it always shows as down. 

I am using a basic http monitor. 

I have a open ticket it is #119714.

I created a Custom property that holds the hyperlink. Then on the details page of the devices I added that custom field to the page. This simply gives up a hyperlink to the inventory system. What is happening now is this. The DevID=${caption part used to send the device caption as a variable with the url. Now it just send…

The time stamps are from today. Some of the rules are a week old and one is at least a month old. We have been having issues with the trap receiver for a while now, and one of the things support had me do is truncate the traps table. Some of these rules were in place before we trucated the table.

Okay I found it. I am now wondering if I set up something wrong or if there is a bug. We are using active directory authentication for access to the system. My user is an Admin on the system and can do almost everything. There are at least two things now that I cannot do unless I log in as a native Solarwinds account…

yes all the accounts I have tried do exist in Orion.

I have tried making sure everything is stopped first and I still get the error. Also I have tried renaming the file to verify it is not in use and it let me do that. I am doing this on a image of the production server so I don't have have any pain if everything goes sideways. Just want to iron this out before trying to…

Okay is it possible to assign these templates via a SQL script. So can I write a SQL job that runs nightly and in the database assigns the template to all new Windows devices? Or would that cause things to go horribly wrong?

Good deal that fixed the issue. Don't really understand why this one server had an issue with that text, but oh well it's working now. Thanks!

The issue is there is not a vendor where I can get the mib. This is an inhouse system where we wrote the traps. the oid numbers are made up. Spectrum will not do anything with the traps because there is not mib. I need to create a mib that matches the oid we used so I can load it into Spectrum. The other tools we used in…

My issue is a little bit different. When a syslog message comes in for a failed fan (Let's say "Switch-A fan 2") it runs a script that automatically creates a remedy incident and assigns it to the network team. The network team will take that ticket and put in a change request to fix the fan. That part is all the easy…

After a little tweaking I have finally got the script to work for 99% of our servers. I now get on a few servers a pretty consistent error of "Checking of directory existence failed" Any thoughts? Again if I ssh to the server and login with the crendentials and run the command it all works just fine. I am just having…
