Expanding on this, anyone know how to filter on an Application custom property? "Application.CustomProperty.Customer" for example doesn't work either or stuff like Node.CustomProperty.City.

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised there's no functionality to rollup the aggregate and show total utilization. Does anyone know if there are plans for this in the future?

Hm, ok. I think i tried that too, but seems counter intuitive that it can't be passed in. On another note, apparently this doesn't work in the URL field for an HTTPS monitor either. This makes setting up templates that monitor the same things a little harder.

Yeah, I've tried that. Both ${ComponentName} and ${Component.Name}. Neither works.

Been a bit hit an miss by changing the polling timeout/intervals, but its tricky on my side because we want to make sure we aren't looking at older metrics. We need the most real time stats we can on some of our monitors.

After looking at this with Support, it turned out I had to login to the Orion console from the Orion server using the RUN AS account the job was set to and this fixed the problem for me.

I have tech support case 352224 open for this too.

Turns out this is due to the name password needing to be set even if it's in the URL. Refer to thread Email Web page action no longer works after NPM 11.5 upgrade

Ran into this problem yesterday with SAM. Appears to still exist as of 02/16! And there is nothing in conversion formulas that help either: SolarWinds Online Help

OMG, I'm working too much. Didn't even realize I was using invoke-command when I shouldn't be. Thanks for helping out!

Thanks for taking a look at it. There is no agent involved and the monitor is set to Remote for the Execution Mode. The config file is a typical appsettings file; <?xml version="1.0"?> <appSettings> <clear/> <add key="SiteDown" value=""/> <add key="SiteDownOverride" value=""/> </appSettings>

Bump. Anyone? I can't figure out why $value seems to not have anything that matches the IF. This works fine when run in Powershell itself.

After some experimenting, this worked for me; C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command "C:\scripts\controlAppPool.ps1 '${NodeName}'"

This works perfect, but is there a way to have each interface on it's own line?

The ability to SUM a multiple interface perfstack chart would be a godsend. IE; add JUST the SUM line to the chart, and not each interface. Although I could live with the SUM line just being included. These charts are much nicer and take up less space on a page.

I'm struggling with the same exact error for the following Powershell monitor $count= get-counter "\\SERVER\Web Service(INSTANCE)\Current Connections" write-host "Statistic.count" There has to be a way to execute this! Alternatively, this one does work with the built in Windows Process Monitor

I'm also getting a blank email. Opened a new thread for it. It's driving me nuts since it sends the message and trigger works, but it shows nothing in the body of the email?

I'm referring to the time set on a node. I am already pulling the time zone, but I'd like to also include the current time in alerts. It would be helpful to know that it has for the current time. Among other things, that can help determine if a clock is synching correctly in the first place.

I've been trying to find this too. This is a question I've seen asked many times and ignored. I find it baffling that this isn't something already baked into the product. Does ANYONE know how to do this? Ideally, I'd like to get the system time and the time zone. I'm currently pulling the time zone in alerts by using a SQL…

I stumbled across this thread while looking for an answer to this. This is definitely a nice to have.

It would be even better if the Approval Process allowed you to use custom fields in things like an email to an approver. A good use case for that is a request that requires the user to enter the email address of a manager or supervisor. It would be nice to be able to set up an Approval Process to send an email to whatever…

This is an interesting method, but even in this scenario if we take a previously "unpluggable" interface and then use it for something critical someone still has to go and change the status of that port in Orion right? Also, where is this set at?

Hm, good point. You can sum multiple components on the chart, so I guess that's the best compromise.

Thanks, that works perfect for a single component. But if I add more than one (IE; same component on more than one server), then my choices for the chart type become pretty limited and doesn't include the MIN/MAX/AVG chart I was going for.

Nice guys! The following will pull the node's ESX host into an alert email; ${SQL: SELECT h.HostName FROM SolarWindsOrion.dbo.VIM_VirtualMachines v INNER JOIN SolarwindsOrion.dbo.VIM_Hosts h on v.HostID = h.HostID INNER JOIN SolarwindsOrion.dbo.Nodes n ON v.NodeID = n.NodeID WHERE n.NodeID = '${NodeID}'}

Partly utilizing the query from bshopp above, best I've done so far is pull the VM name and the ESX hostname. Not sure how to get this into a map or tooltip though. This would work in an email alert though if you wanted the ESX hostname. It would still be ideal to just grab the vaule of that mysterious node hardware field,…

I've been looking for a way to do this forever. This one tiny piece of info is incredibly valuable, especially if you want to expose which ESX server the system is running on. Hard to believe there is still no real answer or response from SW here, and the thread was opened back in 2010. I would really like to find out how…

Apologies if I've hijacked this a little. There are some issues I have with charts, this being one of them. In a NOC-type environment where everything is shown on one or more screens, it's much easier to display things as a chart or gauge for quick visual representation. Showing it as data or info on a map is often…

Opened a case with Support on 11/27. Been back and forth for about the last month, and the assigned tech doesn't seem to understand what the issue is really. Waiting long periods while they "get with enginering". Last response was they were trying to tell me they don't provide support for scripts, which is not what the…

In my case this was pretty easy to do with SQL in the alert. Since my groups are all cities where remote offices are (and for the most part only one office per city), I added another custom property to each group called city, then inserted the below into my alerts to get the group details. This works because I'm using a…
