As @"jm_sysadmin" mentioned, what’s the entity that triggers the alert. You mentioned virtual machine. I’m not familiar with the variable set that’s available to that entity... would require a bit of digging as the variable you tried I’m pretty certain are node specific variables. Could be very possible to access them…

If the neighbor is monitored in SolarWinds there may be other options of being able to pull in the node name by verifying the IP as assigned to that node in SolarWinds itself. However you may be able to try this (I don't have anything with routing neighbors in my home lab so I'm not able to verify..) Not sure if the remote…
-
That really limits your options, darn. I understand though.. even though that neighbor may be going down it may very well be serving other critical connectivity through it's other interfaces. I'll try and play around with an alert and see what I could come up with. This makes me wonder if there's a way to link the neighbor…
-
Oh well in that case, since it's a VM there is no hardware status to be polled since it's virtual (there's no physical hardware to poll anyway.) That'd have to be done at the hypervisor / bmc level then. You may just want to list the resources on that F5 and uncheck hardware health, then submit so it doesn't keep showing…
-
The logic looks sounds if the goal (per what's pictured) is to completely negate alerts from those two specific pools at all times. The trouble... is it doesn't appear there's a way to apply maintenance windows to a pool. There is however the ability to create custom properties on them it looks like. I see a couple options…

As mentioned above, a simple script monitor could achieve this. Support could be referring specifically to the fact there’s no built-in script or monitor that monitors for “Linux server hung state”. Which is true, but I’ll repeat so it gets conveyed (hopefully!) clear... a simple script monitor could achieve this. All it…

Absolutely correct. SolarWinds HA does not currently support separate subnets. Which is very common in a WAN environment for DR. Check out this thread, and the links I posted in it. There is what seems to be some tomfoolery to get it working. I'm pretty strict when deploying though -- I'd need it to be supported. Some good…

Yup unfortunately some vendors simply don't publish that data into SNMP either in the manner SolarWinds expects or at all. Here's a link to the success center that details out how SolarWinds will find this info.…

I guess covering the basics first - are you checking the 'Encrypt connections with SSL' radio button? I know... had to ask though lol. Beyond that, is it at all possible that any TLS settings were changed and the server was never rebooted? (TLS changes require reboot to take affect.) Are you using a Windows AD login to…

Agent-initiated or server-initiated? Try verifying the tcp port is open between affected nodes. Otherwise it may be a bug or issue with the agent and would need support investigation. I’ll find the links to where the logs are on both sides, that can be helpful if you feel comfortable digging into them.

My gut says yes at least for the main sql install but I’ve never had Orion and sql running on the same server before so I’d just be cautious there not to remove any required components.

An snmp table is really just a logical structure of standard snmp OID’s to create columns and rows. Each individual OID in an snmp table can be polled. It all depends on what data you want and how much (GET TABLE vs GET etc.) An snmpwalk can be helpful to visually show you what that table looks like in snmp and all the…
-
And from the opposite end, the monitored devices... some routers, networking cores and switches can be configured to only allow a certain percentage of the cpu be allocated to snmp processes. It's not perfect and dependent on the vendors hardware/software supporting it but something worth keeping in mind when trying to…

The script looks OK, but it does look as though testing the output doesn't really like a dash - special character. I have seen odd behavior with testing the output before. Removing it, get script output passes just fine, or swapping it with an underscore works too, here's the text I tested with. Statistic.HHPdatabase: 1…

Hi @"aLTeReGo", Have a couple here to add, they all show as 'Dell Computer Corporation' in 2019.4 HF3. 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.1.3.32 = DellEMC S5048F-ON 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.11000.5000.100.2.1.20 = DellEMC S5232F-ON 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.11000.5000.100.2.1.21 = DellEMC S5248F-ON 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.11000.5000.100.2.3.2 = DellEMC Z9264F-ON…

Couldn’t agree more with above comments. Here’s the documentation from SolarWinds in that respect. It’s a good jumping off point to get an idea of all the possible steps you may need to accomplish this to develop a plan.…

I’ve seen issues using ad accounts before too but didn’t have much of an ad environment to test it on and really didn’t look into it, just what was mentioned above and made a local account. It was basically an issue with logging in, couldn’t get in at all. Now though I’m using an ad service account for powershell swis…

I wouldn't worry about much of that until the licenses are squared away. Do you have a valid additional polling engine license assigned to it? If not like already mentioned.. some services and functionality simply no work without it. Even if it showed up... it won't do any good without a license anyway. Good luck!

You need to update (edit) the discovery configuration and change its scope. You can do that under settings -> network discovery. Then select the discovery profile and click edit.
-
Unfortunately not yet. Haven’t had enough resources to spend time on this but definitely will dig in at some point... initiating a check for an update on the my Orion deployment pages will trigger the same update to start also. HA services don’t take this update / check into account and see it as a hard service failure…

Sadly no. There’s no way to hide them. The link you found while it uses custom properties is a separate topic. Still good practice for solarwinds though just separate.

LV (Log Viewer) is the replacement of syslog / trap viewer. If you upgrade there’s no choice (I think... do correct me if I’m wrong here) now other than to not upgrade. LA (Log Analyzer) is the paid version with additional features It’s not obvious but is documented in the release notes and upgrade procedures (not exactly…

Yes that's correct, it starts with Orion.Nodes, then joins in (left join) the NCM.Nodes data. Here's an attempt at pulling in the LastAction Date. Looks to work, but incorporating in Job data may be a bit more complicated. Jobs use (vaguely looking at it) an XML format and also dynamic queries and otherwise so they don't…

I thought Solarwinds disabled html formatting in component messages due to a security vulnerability? Not sure exactly and there’s little info out there but you may be able to read up more on it. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/SAM-Discussions/Powershell-Component-Monitor-Output-formatting-now-not-working/m-p/602941#M42605…

Also if you have a smokeping server setup already going -- you could add an external website resource as a menu item under say for example the NPM tab if that's a possible option for you. I used that for MRTG until we decom'd that. Perhaps a perfstack view?
-
Perhaps unrelated but when I was standing up an APE on this same environment, I had to manually install everything and then everything was peachy.. The SolarWinds Orion installer was pulling over the .msi for IPAM v4.5 RC1 and causing it to fail every time. Diags were taken at that time and sent to Support and they…

If the FSDB database is down, SolarWinds can't access the NTA data. The page would probably hit an error of some sort once refreshed. If you did add FSDB as a role in the FCI to make it HA, I would think you can make an affinity or anti-affinity rules just like in ESXi. That makes me curious...

Thanks you!

I'm on NPM 12.1 right now. Nice! Not sure why, but I love custom queries.
