It doesn't matter what you call you alert. "Node Down" will be more than suitable, the varible comes in your trigger action. What are you looking to have happen when the alert is triggered? Email/Log message? Stuart

There's an announcement at the top of the page:

Hi, Views are stored in a number of database tables. The actual layout of the view (columns widths, number of columns etc) are in the "views" table, each resource on the page is given an individual ResourceID, stored in the "Resources" table, and placed in a column and row position. The settings for each resource ID are…

I've just created the alert as per your screenshot and get the same result as you. Your "type of property to monitor" is set to group. This needs to be volume for the fields you are trying to monitor. That said, there will be no drive explicitly called C:\ (most volumes will have a serial number in the name also) so you…

‌what version of npm are you using?

Take a look here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-176509

Just a thought - when you say it doesn't work, do you mean the alert isn't triggering on you are not receiving an email? Have you configured a trigger action?

The values returned in a Dell MIB are either: 1: Critical 2: Warning 3: Normal 4: Unknown or for array controllers etc. 1: Other 2: Unknown 3: OK 4: Non-critical 5: Critical 6: Non-recoverable Hope this helps. Stuart

If you type the UniqueID manually in the string, ie: ${SQL:SELECT Value FROM CustomPollerStatusTable INNER JOIN CustomPollers ON CustomPollerStatusTable.PollerID = CustomPollers.CustomPollerID WHERE UniqueName = 'GBAvailable' AND UniqueID='9D8ACCF6-BA7F-4FF0-8512-CF3A110ECD31'} does it work correctly for you?

It can be skipped, but you will not get CDR (call detail) data. We use a third party call recording/call tracking solution so don't use this functionality inside VNQM

A prime indicator of this is an interface status is "unknown". I have an alert created to trigger on this, and the majority of the time its a SNMP polling issue...

Hi These log entries are showing a "flapping" interface (one which goes up and down within a few seconds) and as Rob mentions will not be detected using traditional polling. The way to alert on these events is to send either syslog or SNMP traps to the NPM server, parse them and generate an alert in near real time. By…

Fill in EITHER the read only credentials OR read/write. Both are not required. Also as rschroeder​ mentions, reconsider using read/write.

I would start with a repair install, however if you are under maintenance I would suggest a call to support to troubleshoot...

select * from settings where name like '%disk%'

Same issue today, only I seem to have gone UP the leader board from around 50 to 21st. Not gonna complain where the error is in that direction

Bumping this topic as I have been asked the same question today

Hi, The line "The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay" is a response from your mail server saying that it can not relay the mail being sent to it from your solarwinds server. This is fairly common with locked down mail servers and you will need a configuration change on the mail server to allow the poller ip…

You can add a second email trigger action and set it to delay for 30 minutes. hth stuart

Hi, No, this is not possible. There are links between the element types all in different tables that are connected by ID values. If you have two databases, you will have multiple nodes with the same node ID and multiple (ie) interfaces that link to those ID's. Not to mention all the alerts and reports that will have…

Very useful, thanks for sharing.

Ok, I'll suggest a completely different track Using the SNMP property "contact" on the device, set the email address of the client that needs to be contacted for that device, then use the varible ${contact} as the mail to address in the trigger action. HTH Stuart

This is done under the users account. Towards the bottom is "Orion General Settings" - device details view can be set here.

Yes, create a new map in Network Atlas, set the backgroud to a JPG export from visio, then add the nodes onto the background in the correct locations HTH Stuart

Hi The time of day filter is set so that alerts will only be triggered during the time period you specify. If (to use your example) a CPU load threshold is exceeded outside of 0800am and 0859pm, an alert will not be triggered. Hope this helps Stuart

Bouncing this thread as I'm seeing an identical issue. Any suggestions?

Hi Miron, Yes, I have experienced similar this and have a current case open that has been re-created and is with the dev team. SW Staff - Case #108221 - "imported maps into network atlas" Thanks Stuart

I have a very simple best practice - only use advanced alerts & turn of basic alerts. Advanced alerts are far more powerful, being sql driven from the database. The only downside being they are regularly polled (eg every minute) whereas basic alerts are triggered in real time when the device is polled. I've not found a…
