Also, you can set each devices polling individually on the device's properties page, or you can change polling for all devices in multiple areas. The global settings are in the admin console, under Settings>Polling Settings (right side of the admin console by default).

That should be based on your polling cycle. The next time the device is polled it should change state if the state is different. You can hurry this along by forcing a poll (Poll Now on the device summary).

At my previous job, we used a product called AttentionNS. We had our environment set up so that alerts would fire off a vbscript. The script would pull in variables from Orion and would then output to Attention, which would structure alerts. Since we used an offsite datacenter that would not allow cabled modems and we…

In looking at these release notes, I noticed that PA devices are now supported natively. Is that full support of all features and functionality? We have PAs here and are looking to back up configs, but I want to make sure before moving forward. We are currently on version 7.1.1, but I would get us to 7.2 if I know that we…

You can absolutely do this and the difficulty will vary depending on where the script lies, server type, etc. One way you could do it would be to create a custom alert for the process on the server (you can use a regular alert if this will be used for all servers of a type). As one of the trigger actions on the alert, you…

I'd be interested to know as well. I don't know if it just points to services.msc or does a scripted net stop/net start behind the applet, but I would be curious to know the actual mechanics.

To move the device out of Unknown and into the BRANCHES group, you are going to have to look at how the BRANCHES group is defined. In the bottom screenshot you posted, you can see an Edit Properties button. Highlight the BRANCHES group and then click that button to see how it is defined. If devices are just manually added…

You should be able to do that by using a variable in your trigger action to pull in the value. Is this what you are referring to?

You can do this with NPM itself. If you have SNMP enabled on a device, CPU utilization should be one of the elements you can poll and alert on. Then, you can create an Advanced Alert for CPU Utilization, indicating which threshold you would like to use. Upon setting up the alert, there is a timeframe where you can set an…

At the company I left a few weeks ago, one of the last items I worked on was a graceful shutdown process, whereby an entire site's servers would shutdown gracefully when it was on UPS and the UPS had reached a predetermined level. This was compounded by the fact that each site had physical Windows servers (and some had…
