Thanks HolyGuacamole. It appears you are correct as I did not discover the Custom Node Table Poller until you pointed it out. I am working through the logic of the alert now and will let you know how it goes. Something else I am not finding that you may know offhand, is there some way to trigger on a delta or change to a…

Great, I will give that a shot.

I too work in a basement, not quite like this...

Same issue here, any resolution as of yet? We are on NPM 10.6.1. At first we thought it was just with our Nexus gear, but are now seeing it with a lot of other devices too.

We currently are using the following SolarWinds products: NPM, NCM, Engineer's Toolset. SW is our primary monitoring tool and does nearly all of our alerting where possible. We would like to see more work with SW's trap and syslog functions as these are also very useful to us in generating certain types of information and…

I am looking at it now and have alerting for a polling engine. Could you kindly share the field that you are using and the logic as well?

Once I was asked to assist a user who was having issues transferring files up to a website on the internet. After some time of troubleshooting over our network I asked if she would be available to come by our office to try the same task over an outside network DSL connection that we use for isolating possible routing…

I was able to get an alert setup based on the values sourcing from a 'Custom Node Table Poller'. What I am stuck on now is how to trigger the alert based on a significant change to the 'Current Value' for each 'Row ID'? If forced to, we could create separate alerts for each 'Row ID' by using a baseline value, but this…

I setup the recommended alert but found that it didn't quite meet the need we were looking for. As you can see from the below screenshots, the Polling Engine is showing that it is up and the Last Database Sync was 3 seconds ago. However from the Polling Details screenshot below, captured from a node monitored by our…

Awesome! Thank you so much! I'll be sure to post my full body cast once I begin riding.

The below perhaps? select nodesdata.caption, nodesdata.IP_Address, apm_hardwareinfo.model, nodesdata.vendor, apm_hardwareinfo.servicetag, nodesdata.location from nodesdata, apm_hardwareinfo where nodesdata.nodeid = apm_hardwareinfo.nodeid order by caption asc

We have Cisco, Dell, and HP devices showing up in the apm_hardwareinfo table, so it appears to be non-proprietary. 

We have tried tinkering with the Trigger Threshold, but the sophistication didn't seem to be there. To keep to only one alert for a battery replacement, the alert is setup based on some commonality with UPS devices, such as containing 'UPS' in the DNS Hostname. Then once UPS A triggers the alert, alerting is suppressed for…

The Short: Try confirming if the polling intervals are whats expected by going to 'Edit Properties' on an individual node or interface. The Long: Not sure if this was the same issue or not, but I ran into something similar today with NPM when changing my polling intervals from 60sec to 30sec using Orion Polling Settings. I…

Something was hung up with NCM on all three of my pollers and I needed to reboot each of them to clear the issue. I was able to run inventories afterwards.

I know this isn't exactly what you are asking, but it is an example I am using to combine data from two different tables: nodesdata and apm-hardwareinfo. This helped to aggregate my serial numbers with my IP and SNMP location information to be used for some inventory purposes. select nodesdata.caption,…

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but this is how we are doing trap alerting using SW in our environment... I agree it would be great to see a better trap management interface in the web console. We have been able to set up some specific trap alerting by using the Trap Viewer tool on the server. While…

We use NPM and NCM as our primary network management solution within our organization. Our use of NPM includes: -monitoring of 17000+ element and 1000+nodes -heavy use of alerting -heavy use of engineer's toolset to allow ability to right click nodes and establish SSH sessions -worldwide map to show exact locations and…
