Are there any replication issues with that server in AD? Perhaps its suffering from connectivity issues to the rest of the domain during its poll?

I'm a bit confused at what you're asking but I'll make an attempt here... If you're trying to find "Polling Settings", you need to login to the Orion web UI as an admin and then go to Settings -> All Settings -> Polling Settings. If you're trying to find the "Web Console Settings" its similar, you need to login to the…

I'd also be curious if you're monitoring those esxi servers with vsphere or snmp. Not sure if esxi publishes underlying services status into snmp though but that could be another avenue to explore as there's an snmp service component. Although you'd have the same problem with it showing down but I think you have options…

Yup silly me didn't event notice the host said esxi! ha.

Understood - do you have NCM (Network Configuration Manager) - this seems more like a compliance report like @"KMSigma.SWI" noted.

Yeah sounds like it, I'd wrap that into a custom powershell to be honest, the out-of-the-box tcp port test instinctively would report down if cannot connect. Assuming that what we think is true... there's 2 options 1) Enable enhanced node status calculation and disable the 'Application' from contributing status 2) Flip the…

My first question... why not just unmanage, or un-assign the application 'ssh' if it's down? Without knowing its purpose I have to ask. You say 'ssh is off'.... are you using an application assignment as a way to validate a nodes ssh service is not responding as it should? This COULD be easily flipped to another type of…

While it's a bit rudimentary, I've utilized some powershell like this in the past to catch certain problems during off-hours. Yes very ad-hoc... but taking it further you could (if you wanted) make this part of a SAM powershell monitor that could possibly add some logic around if the tracert output changes.…

You need to be very careful with discoveries... running this (especially with auto-import) can cause horrible consequences for your Orion environment by adding interfaces, volumes, nodes, pollers and/or applications or more to your setup without you wanting it to. They need to be scoped appropriately and always testing by…

So there's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to re-discovering existing agent monitored nodes and some notable points that help... * Don't add any addresses to the discovery (this is the biggest hangup / UI fail) - you MUST have an address. I put a single address thats blackholed on the subnet or you could do…

There's a few out there on Thwack. This is one that I've referenced in the past but there's one more (which I tried to find unsuccessfully). It was I believe a PDF but did duplicate a lot of what's noted in the link below. Some areas I'd look into first to get a feel for where the environments at.. * Server architecture…

Was worth a shot but no that didn't make a difference. Thank for the suggestion!

Haven't tried that but will give that a shot now and see. Though that may not address the error getting logged when restarting all orion services (it presents there as well if manually restarting all orion services.)

Nope, this is with both the new Log Viewer and/or the Log Analyzer. My lab environment has an LA10 license (Log Analyzer) so it's utilizing the new products. Thanks!

So I have not figured out the appropriate XML mark for including agents within the discovery through the API... that said I went a different route and am hitting this straight at the source in SQL. Since the discovery can be created in the Web UI to target and poll agents I thought why not just try copying the exact XML…

Any possible insight @"tdanner"? Thanks

I think I've hit a wall here. I've thrown quite a bit at attempting the XML markup expected and nothing I seem to do will work. Some values I notice don't show up the same once the configuration is invoked from the context created.. For example we set the property <WmiRetriesCount> and <WmiRetryIntervalMiliseconds>,…

Thank you @"tony.johnson" for the tips! I'll give this a whirl and spend some more time digging into it.

@"hiren.soni" - this is why performing an snmp walk on the device can be helpful so you can validate the output and that the device actually responds on that OID. Also often useful to manually review the output. To reiterate @"m_roberts" point, UnDP monitoring can leverage any SNMP OID so long as the device responds to…

@"tony.johnson" - just want to say thanks for this information. I was struggling to find a way to disable this functionality and this got me on the right track. Although my findings are a bit different to note though. The settings are not there in the database to update unless they are manually overridden first. Perhaps a…

Quick and dirty but hey if it works! I'll try it out thank you

If the system is monitored via the agent then this could easily be handled with a powershell script monitor in SAM (if you have the product). Additionaly if monitored with an agent then you could setup a NetPath probe from this node to an endpoint (maybe solarwinds etc.)... it may excibit the same problem seen?? Might need…

The SWQL query provided contains references to a number of different custom properties that are specific to their environment as an fyi... I'm not going to rebuild the whole query here but any place the Nodes.[CustomProperties].* is referenced would need adjustments for your environment.

Thank you again @"jblankjblank", definitely helpful to know all my options here. I've got some more testing to perform to root out what works best for our environment.

Yes of course... Orion supports SAMLv2 so pretty much any IdP that supports the protocol (every IdP I've worked with does) can be levereged. The documentation only outlines specific providers but the process and requirements are very similar.

Thanks for the suggestion @"jblankjblank", that would work functionally for my purpose. Albeit manually. The complication I see perhaps is that I utilize the dynamic queries to auto-feed interfaces, nodes, applications and transactions into the subservice groups via custom properties. The groups themselves also have custom…

Correct, there's 1 UP node in the 'SubService2' group, and 5 UP / 2 down nodes in the 'SubService1' group. The Service Map has the 'Service1' Orion Map in it, and the 'Service1' Orion map has a single 'Service1' group mapped in it that's warning state right now. Interestingly enough I added the 2 down nodes and the status…

Thanks @"jblankjblank", I'm curious if I've stumbled upon an issue in our environment or a potential bug then. Note this is on our DEV environment only running NPM 2020.2.6... I will attempt upgrading it to 2020.2.6 HF1 as that was recently released for kicks. The maps I'm embedding inside another map contain groups that…

There's a built-in alert that can be leveraged for these cases if I'm reading and understanding correctly. It's a pre-built alert that will need to be copied and adjusted for your needs but the nuts and bolts are there. It's there to provide an example of updating AWS I believe. Basically whenever a SolarWinds HA failover…
