Solarwinds have a page, here: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-multi-module-system-guidelines.htm that covers off hardware recommendations. On the above page is a link to a 'How do I calculate' section which is just down the bottom, but the key takeaway is that they say:…

Do you mean like this example from our environment? If so, then when you create the widget, you need a section for the icon to go into. For ours, the corresponding bit looks like this: So the description bit is free text and can be whatever you want. The key part is first ensuring that your SWQL is pulling in the status -…

You can enable dependencies or create individual dependencies. To enable them on a global basis and have SolarWinds calculate them then go: Settings > All Settings > Node & Group Management > Manage Dependencies and click on the toggle: Alternatively you can create them yourself - see…

Can you share the output you are seeing (redacted as necessary) as well as what FW make and model. Finally, is this on the vital stats page for the device or via a report. If a report, please also share that - either a screenshot of the logic or the SQL/SWQL code for it. Thanks.

ok - I'll go a hunting Thanks.

Hey @"christopher.t.jones123" - suggestions on how I do that are most welcome as I have no idea where to look for that - as at the moment I can't look at any config specific to that box due to all services are stopped on it in prep for it being physically shutdown and moved.

I know this is an old question and probably too late for you but I would use session trace for logs. There may be a better option but it's the one I know of. https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Generate-session-trace-logs?language=en_US 

Nice - I'm guessing support directed you at that setting as it isn't obvious. I only found ut about it when I asked support why can't I see APs that have dropped off.

Throws both hands up- me, me, me.

I've been talking to one of our Fortinet experts since I replied earlier. He advises that the priority doesn't change when an HA event occurs. So FW01 remains 250 and FW02 remains as 128 (or whatever has been configured) even after the HA event. However, the serial number OID does show a change in the order when an HA…

Also ... [quote userid="242716" url="~/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/94373/health-status-in-fortigate-firewall/298831#298831"]I just wonder as the webUI can show "Role"=Primary or secondary, why this isnt in a OID! it would be so simply if so.[/quote] I've not seen this - what part of the GUI are…

Good work @"mbilgrav" - I'm thinking, with a bit of alteration to my original shared code, you could possibly do a WHERE CustomPollerAssignmentOnNode.CustomPollername='Serial.Number' AND History.Statuses>1 So I'm thinking you could create a UnDP to look at the Serial Number instead of the HA State - but the key would be in…

Oh, ok. In which case hit the black down arrow and click Show SWQL

Hi Olof, I'm not clear on what you want to achieve, could you expand on your request? By wildcard, I presume you are referring to the SQL equivalent of * ? This doesn't exist in SWQL as you have probably found out but instead you can just do: SELECT fieldname1, fieldname2, etc FROM pick.table.from.database That would list…

Pretty sure KMSigma hasn't finished it yet.

I don't know that it will help - mostly because I have no idea (with my poor SWQL skills) if you could even code this. But "Orion.Packages.Wireless.AccessPoints" lists the APs and their Availability, So if in SWQL you can get it to count up the number of lines against the Controller ID then that would answer point 3. Then…

Clearly I misunderstood what you were after as when you said you wanted "those alerts that had been interacted with" I read that to mean alerts that had been acknowledged. If that's not what you want then you need to be clearer for me please. You could open up SWQL Studio, copy and run the code and then edit to your end…

Hi Martin and welcome to the painful experience that is trying to monitor kit that isn't Cisco or Juniper via SolarWinds. This, i.e. Fortigate hardware monitoring is the next thing on my plate to investigate at work. @"marlief22"'s approach is an interesting one if you are a Powershell guru - which I am not. I can…

If I understand you correctly, then you've already created the UnDP to poll the OID, and you've assigned that UnDP to the device. If you haven't assigned it then it won't appear for the node. You will also have to decide which page it displays on. To add that to a widget, go to the node that the UnDP is assigned to and…

I'm in the same boat, but also read the warning @"Seashore" threw out: >> (If you don't know how to do that you should not, ask your DBA) That's like my back specialist telling me "no running, it's not good for your back" to which my answer is no problemo - IOW, whilst one side of me wants to know more, the rational side…

We have had similar issues with hardware health monitors, specifically in the low voltage or similar sensors. After exhaustive investigations we opted to disable the monitors on the individual devices via all settings > mange hardware health. YMMV. We only have a couple of 4221's, and none exhibit the behaviour your two…

Thank you. All grist for t'mill as they say over in parts of the north of the UK. As with my reply to Christopher though I solved it by creating a new option in one of our current CPs that is referenced on almost all our alerts. That meant all I had to do was create two new alerts rather than edit 30+ of them.

Thanks Christopher... if the scenario comes up again I'll go that route, as it is I had already hit upon another, equally as good approach that didn't mean adding any more CPs.

Answer: After all that typing lol I hit upon the answer. We already have a CP called PRIORITY which exists for nodes and interfaces so I simply added an additional level and called it VOICE. That way I can set the node or interface to a priority of VOICE and then get the alert logic to look for that. As all our other…

An option could be: * create a new CP and call it say 'voice_support' * leave node_in_bau set to false * create a new alert for node and interface that says:* if node_in_bau = false AND * voice_support = yes * then trigger This gives me the benefit of not messing around with the node_in_bau CP and none of the current…

I don't see it as a property in SWQL Studio so I think your answer would be to go down creating a UnDP. So you'll need to identify the OID in use - probably easiest to do an SNMP walk of a relevant device and look through that. If you can tell me what hardware then I'll see if we have one and can try and find an OID for…

When you say you can't get the info you need then how exactly are you trying to get that info? Screenshot is from one of our 1921/K9 routers: As @"superfly" says, most of those devices are pretty old Cisco, and one thing SolarWinds is good at is getting details for Cisco devices. Other vendors may/will vary.

I think for this you'll need to raise a ticket with support. I certainly know of no way to achieve this.

Hey Michael - Kevin has super human abilities when it comes to all things SWQL. Just wanted to jump in and point you at this thread. It won't answer any queries but it might benefit you down the line when Kevin's plans kick off (his book for one, separate area in THWACK for 2) but you may also spot someone near you, and…

You're welcome Mark. Can I suggest you ark my answer as correct as it sets a green tick in the main forum view, and allows others to see at a glance.
