Agree that this should fix cbedoya's problem. PowerShell needs quotes around any parameter values that include a space, and Orion's alert engine seems to use your first pair of quotes to demark the boundaries of each variable reference. Embedding single quotes within the double quotes would most likely work.

I'm curious about this process, as well as what the potential features/benefits of a social circle might be.
-
Thank you very much, clarv02! I will try this out ASAP.
-
[facepalm] You nailed it. Forgot that I changed the hostname alias in my select statement to make a later Compare-Object statement easier. Failed to change my ORDER BY statement. Thanks for the second pair of eyes, antonis.athanasiou!

I'm running the last version prior to 2019.4, maybe minus a hotfix or two. Will check the MSQM queues. Thanks for the tip and the success link!
-
Wish I did, too!
-
Has this been submitted as a bug fix / feature request yet? It seems like we should be able to simply put whatever variables and address text strings we need, and have the alerting engine parse them separately. grantallenby, rfackrell

Cool. @David, how many SCP exams have you taken already?

If yes - than it no matters for components but still nodes are licensed. In this new licensing scenario, my question would indeed be irrelevant, but we have the 'old' unlimited component (ALX)…

Yes, the node would use a license, but I'm also curious about the SAM component licenses.

Another fantastic resource. Thank you for sharing, mesverrum!

Agreed, there's nothing in this short post that indicates anything needs to be tweaked.

Can anyone confirm that Netscaler LBs would be configured the same way as the F5 LB for Orion?
-
Thanks for the tip. I should have tried harder to search first...just found a similar question that had been answered by christopher.t.jones123. Here is the KB that he referenced to confirm the answer that RabbitMQ is only installed on the main polling engine: Success Center.

Sounds like we're reading the same book and you're a few pages ahead of me. One nice tip: the 'Type' field now shows values of "User-Defined" or "Out-of-the-box" so the prefix is no longer necessary.
-
Nice work, jrouviere!
-
Unfortunately the page simply returned an "error processing the request". I have decided to rewrite my API query that populates the component messages, and updated the SWQL query to pull the new data. Going to let this one hibernate until it becomes an issue elsewhere or until updates for Orion enhance custom query modules.
-
Update: fixed entity number for right curly bracket.
-
It sounds like you didn't actually read the question, but at least this still isn't a bad off topic tip.

This is GREAT, brscott@arcbtech.com! I modified the query slightly to remove your custom properties and your V: filter. This query should now work for anybody who follows a similar quest. SELECT vmv.VirtualMachine.Name as VM, vmv.VirtualMachine.Node.Caption as Node, vmv.MountPoint, (vmv.Capacity/1073741824) as CapacityGB,…

Did you try just going to edit node (the VMware host), polling method, and choosing "VMware vCenter or Hyper-V devices"?
-
It means that the SQL Server that your SharePoint databases live on should not be used for your Orion NPM databases. Likewise, the Windows Server [computer] that you install the Orion NPM server software on should not be running any other applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, or Active Directory Domain Services…
-
Are you using VMAN, or just polling your vCenter server appliance and ESXi servers directly?
-
You're right, polling and presenting text values is not something that Orion is great at, although the API poller seems to be getting there. You're also right that a PowerShell monitor is probably what will ultimately work best for this question. There are a number of Q/As that explain the approach already here on Thwack,…
-
Which part of this process would you like assistance with? You're in the right area. As long as you have the right credentials and assign this to a monitored node, you should be all set.
-
Hard to say without knowing all of the nuances in your environment, but two definite tips: * WMI (WinRM) is always more efficient than RPC for the fetching method. Use that for everything that you can. * How often are these components being polled? You could be polling some of these more frequently than necessary. For…

Looks like this should work, but something is clearly happening to the date in $cLastModDate when run remotely. Is your output more consistent if you ToString() that variable before dropping it into Message.ConfigDate?
-
You'll have a much better experience monitoring Windows Servers with WMI instead of SNMP[v2]. WMI is native to Windows, built as an extension to the industry-standard CIM. It can be used to query virtually anything about a Windows system. Please note that the term "WMI" (Windows Management Instrumentation" can sometimes be…

I have questions! * What is a "BD"? * Assuming that the security change was meant to enhance security by utilizing a new feature or parameter: does anyone know if this fix rolls back the security change, or if it actually fixes the implementation of the security feature? * Is there a timeline yet for getting this rolled…
