I'd use the method njoylif mentions. If you want to rearrange the layout of the table, another option is you can create a report with a custom table using Auditing Event as an object source. However, filtering out audit events is a bit more complicated than using the "Last XX Audit Events" resource as you have to use the…

Thanks Jiri.

Edit - ignore this, derp moment. Previous times I have set this up, set up acknowledgements to stop the subsequent messages. In your latter scenario, if a device goes down at 4 AM the alert will fire and be active but he won't get any email at all (even when 6 AM rolls around). At 6 AM, the alert is already active for the…

Bugger. Can you please post back how you go with support? I would be interested in finding out what broke.

I swapped some servers from SNMP to WMI today and ran into the same issue - a discovery picks up all interfaces/volumes but CPU/Memory is not being polled unless I manually go through each server and List Resources, etc. I tried to use the Manage Pollers but the Scan Results show Not a Match for all of the servers. If I…

If you want to run up a clean APE, it is easier than ever in the new versions. 1. Shutdown the old server. 2. Run up the new server with same hostname/IP address. 3. Copy over the installer from the web console (6 MB or so). 4. Run the installer on the APE, input your main server details and select Additional Polling…

We would also be interested in Kiwi Syslog featuring AD authentication as the 5 account maximum is limiting.

Agreed - something is happening when the data is loaded into the chart. The thing that is confusing is the same data source/query works fine in a custom table (and custom query) resource. Chart Config Data source: the query in my original post Time Period: Last 30 Days Left Y-Axis Units: Empty Chart type: Stacked column…

If you're running 10.2, try removing the dependency resource (All Dependencies including ${Caption}) from the view. We went from 20-60 second page load times down to 2-5 seconds. Apparently 10.3 resolves this issue by making the dependency resource load asynchronous to the rest of the page.

Hmm, I wonder if something similar can be used for my problem here: Alert on agents not responding The problem is that volumes might poll OK and CPU/memory doesn't which means the volume unknown method won't work. It's a bit flaky.

What if it was this puppy?

I've seen it on a couple of Checkpoint systems. They have a Checkpoint MIB so you can snmpwalk the device and see the MIB/OIDs but it doesn't have the "generic" MIB containing the systemOID, etc. - effectively, the MIB starts at the Checkpoint MIB. This also means that SNMP won't validate in Orion as it fails the SNMP test.

Thanks for your informative posts about NAM! On a side note, you don't have to make the entire environment HA right away. For example, you could have your primary server in a HA pool and leave the rest of your APEs standalone.

That name is only for the main view and will show at the top of every page in the view. jdunne is looking for the name to change as the NOC rotates through sub-views (e.g. show the sub-view names). Currently the sub-view names are only visible outside of NOC mode. As a quick work-around you could stick a "Custom HTML"…

I meant njoylif​​'s reference to "escalation". Not the alert escalation. I was hoping he could expand on that.

Hi all, Sorry for the delay in replying. We ended up going with multiple jobs although there are still some issues with the WLC devices. * Nightly: Execute script on all devices except WLC: write memory * Nightly: Execute script on all WLC devices: save config * Nightly: Download running configuration from all devices and…

I'm partially colour blind (it's only with close shades of red/green). I typically don't have an issue with the SolarWinds status LEDs although if it was worse I can see where a feature like this could be necessary. A current workaround would be to replace all of the down/up status GIFs in the…

Thanks Mark. I developed a few queries that work in SQL but no matter what I input into the custom SQL alert it never triggers on an object. The code validates and it returns the values in the initial SELECT statement so I'm not sure what I'm missing. In my lab, I've been using the Cisco temperature status UnDP as a test…

Thanks - I'll look into STM. I'll message you regarding the VMAN integration.

There is a way around the /t issue by using an NCM macro. I don't have a UCS to test but sending the commands to a switch gives me the following output (I excluded the 'quit' command): tmsh save /sys ucs /var/tmp/mydevicesysname.ucs y scp /var/tmp/mydevicesysname.ucs…

Case is with support awaiting devs to look at logs for 1.5 agents.

SQL Server 2008 R2 is supported for the current full release versions of SolarWinds (e.g. up to NPM 12.0.1). However, the new module release candidates (NPM 12.1, SAM 6.4, etc) deprecate support for SQL 2008 or 2008 R2 and future releases will not support those versions. Check out the End of Support section in this link:…

I'm soooooooo close!

When you install the modules, they will run for 30 days in evaluation mode until you input a license. It will not automatically pull licenses from your portal.

Thanks Jiri. The AD security explains why it is not possible to link an AD account to the user credentials. The plan to have user credentials added to an Orion account via the website is welcome news. Cheers

There are two types of virtualization polling in SolarWinds. Basic - comes with the Orion platform (i.e. NPM, SAM). Gets you basic monitoring of the vCenter, clusters, datacentres, ESX hosts, VMs status and some basic VM metrics if you monitor them as nodes. VMAN Orion - needs the Virtualization Manager module (VMAN).…

Inside the SAM Linux Script Monitor, input something like "bash yourscript.sh".

Assuming you created the patching site on the SolarWinds server, I think it might be the security feature in Firefox/Chrome that blocks iframes with an external source. If it's on another server then, I have no idea!

Interesting! Never occurred to me as I haven't touched a non-English instance before but I'll make a note of it.

If you mute a node that an application monitor is assigned to, the application monitor will be muted as well.
