  • Fair point. This was done to try and find a way around the total lack of integration between SNMP traps and the alerting engine as there doesn't seem to be a way to do anything useful with a trap, at least not what we would want i.e. generate an alert. I'm not sure if there would be a way to tune down the intensity for…

  • Following on from this, I got one of our Devs to add the ability to see if a Node had SNMP traps logged against it. ********************** SELECT n.caption AS [Node], n.DetailsURL AS [_Linkfor_Node], n.IP_Address AS [IP], CASE WHEN n.CPULoad < 0 THEN 'Not Polled' WHEN n.host.NodeID IS NOT NULL AND n.host.CpuCoreCount IS…

  • Yes, actually is one of the things I'm trying to work out More importantly for me though, is I'd like to have an icon notification if any SNMP traps are raised in relation to a Node. I don't think this would be that hard to achieve... For the SWQL queries, how often is that data collected? I can't see a polling interval…

One of the limitations I've found with NPM / Orion is that you can't change a Nodes status based on aggregate values of sub-components, so for example you might have a disk full, but the Node still shows Green on a dashboard. This seems like a viable way to report on the…

  • Thanks neomatrix1217, The issue is not that the Orion database doesn't support being hosted on a SQL cluster, but that it is not supported being hosted on the same database server as a SharePoint database. I'm not clear why this would be. EDIT: or was this an old recommendation i.e. you can co-host a SharePoint and Orion…

  • Same question - this should be quite an easy one but I can't find the official guidance anywhere.
    in How to alert on disk failure with SRM Comment by smatt October 2017
  • UPDATE: The statement apparently referrs to installing and running Orion on the SharePoint, Exchange or Blackberry server itself as each of the products are known to make changes to the IIS configuration which are incompatible with Orion. Sharing the same SQL database server with these products should cause no issue. M
