Try changing the filter to 'Machine Type'. This will show you all the devices, one type at a time. Select one of the device types, then check the box to the left of the 'Name' heading. You should then see that all the nodes have been selected, whether they are clickable or not, and the 'Assign dates' button should be…

I don't believe there's a Web GUI alert that can be configured to check on volume growth. It might be possible to do this using SQL/SWQL, but I'm not sure the resulting query could be used in an alert.

One thing you could do in the interim is set up a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) in your enterprise (assuming you have a Microsoft Domain that all your workstations/servers are attached to). Not only will it give you reports which will help you identify issues, it'll also allow you to test new updates before you…

Your fourth post didn't disappoint, Cheers adatole​. I would caution the readers to ensure that their processes include a check of each alert before they are acknowledged via the magic link. Receipt of a notification and clicking the helpful link is not the same as taking ownership. You have to understand what you're…

HI Rene, What is it you're trying to report on? When updates were last installed? Nodes where Windows Update is disabled? Also, what products and versions thereof are you running? If you could let us know the above, I'm sure someone can help you!

I lol'd

I don't think you'll find a supported method of re-forwarding the netflow data elsewhere, mainly due to the potential for people doing this for nefarious reasons. What version of NTA do you have? With version 4.1 you should have a separate NetFlow storage database. You may be able to do some SQL replication and have the…

I'm also seeing this exact same behaviour in my lab environment. The FTP username and password have been checked as good using a FTP client. The user's working directory is the root of where the CDR files are dumped by the Cisco 2811 Call Manager, so I know that downloading the file isn't the issue. The problem appears to…

Hey seluton, What you could do to start is to create an advanced alert for when hardware status is anything other than 'up', and set the advanced alert so that it waits for 6 minutes (three polling cycles using the defaults) before it fires off the alert actions. This will eliminate any 'flappy' alerts from spamming your…

Are you sure the messages are coming from the single alert? Try adding free text at the end of your alert, say something like TEST, which will confirm both are coming from the exact same alert. From your configuration it should only send one email. The other thing to check is the reset conditions. Perhaps the alert is…

Check out this thread: How use Topology: Layer 2/3 Poller ? SolarWinds staffer zizi explains how Orion gathers the Layer 2 & 3 information. Do a SNMP walk to your routers and check if you're getting a response on the MIBs he mentions in his posts. I've mentioned him in this response, so if the way ConnectNow works has…

Hi Richard, Are you referring to WMI credentials, or credentials for SAM components, or both?

I'm not certain, but it may be that the database needs to have flow data AND cbQoS enabled for it to appear in the views? Looking at the NTA instance I'm supporting right now, the only nodes that have cbQoS enabled have netflow enabled also. Only an official SolarWinds boffin can answer that, however, so hopefully one of…

I've had more coffee (huzzah!), and I'm coming to the conclusion that receive and transmit thresholds for alerting purposes are controlled from the single threshold 'Interface Percent Utilization' set in NPM. If someone could confirm this, I'd appreciate the assist

Hi. Did you make sure to run the installer as a user with local administrator rights? Service configuration failures can occur if the user doesn't have the relevant permissions to either the server itself, or the storage.

Hey rafish​. Just to elaborate on xtraspecialj​'s comments above, what you're looking for is a custom view for your important interfaces, yes? And you want to be able to view this independently, without first having to go to a parent node? If I'm right, then these are the steps you need to take: * Create a new summary…

Found out what was going on. The 'SolarWinds Alerting Service V2' has stopped. As soon as I started it, email alerts started flowing again. I'll put in a request that important service issues such as these are flagged up in some way to admins.

Additional information: I have an alert setup which has the following settings: * For nodes where custom property x is equal to y * If status equals 'Node Down' then do stuff * Must exist for more than 5 minutes, I'm not seeing any flapping in response times, it's been flatlined for packet loss for hours (due to ICMP). I…

Further to rharland2012‌ suggestion, if these are Windows nodes, try switching them to WMI polling, rather than SNMP (if your network security allows).

Do you get these alerts at a time when NCM is running scheduled jobs, for example trying to backup the configs from your network devices? You may need to adjust how NCM connects to your target devices (SSH instead, for example).

Hey k45bryant​ A crude way of doing it would be to find the process name, and add a 'Process Monitor' component to a new template, and configure it to check for that process. Exclude that template from your current application alerts, and assign it in batches.You'll then be able to check which servers have the process…

I wouldn't try removing the column from the database, just in case there's other bits hanging about post-deletion that you can never clear up (from the database views and so on). Couple of things: * Have you tried using different browsers to access the Orion site? Whilst 5xx errors are server side, it could be the browser…

Hey martian monster​ Take a look at the SAM template reference for the Office 365 templates currently available: Microsoft Office 365 The various pages here will help you get on the right track!

How are you polling the server? SNMP or WMI?

Was this a physical server at one point, and has been P2V'd? I've seem something similar before, when a server was P2V'd but hadn't had it's old management software cleaned up.

Try running the Configuration Wizard and repairing the Orion website. That should sort you out

Hi Rohit. What is the scope of this integration? Are you looking to mirror all metrics Orion receives in HPE's Operation Bridge Reporter? This would be a job for the Orion SDK but I would anticipate this would take a fair amount of time to achieve. Perhaps you could look at turning this on it's head, and include important…

Many of the businesses I support use NPM and NCM in the same way: * NPM for the node statistics * NCM for configuration management, i.e. config backups, real time configuration change notifications. Some also use NCM as a staging tool: They have gold builds for each of their own clients, and use NCM to push these out to…

It could be that your devices are not exposing the correct MIBs to the SNMP response in order for SolarWinds to gather the data. Take a look at this thread: How use Topology: Layer 2/3 Poller ? About thre quarters of the way down zizi‌ mentions the specific MIBs that Orion uses to gather VLAN information: vtpVlanTable =…

I tend to go with the Upgrade Advisor, but I've noticed that if you put Service Pack information in for your DB server, it occasionally gives you erroneous incompatibility notices. Try it yourself. Put in the whole shebang, as you did, but leave out that your SQL has SP1 installed. It'll probably come back fine. It…
