for "b. test/dev keys for the software so we can try out updates in development before we update production" Hell. Yes. There was a really large thread about this that I argued as much as I could on to be able to get free test/dev licenses to do stuff with. Official keys, not "30 day trials". I even accepted a 30 day trial…

For "a. notifications - I don't think I received anything from Solarwinds by email about this..." Just for anyone's info, and if anyone wants to collaborate or validate my assumptions: I received an "official" email notification that arrived in my inbox on 12/13/2020 8:35 AM. It wasn't from my support rep, but looked…

Found this forum post: How to format AlterTriggerTime AlertVariable to de... - THWACK (solarwinds.com) In there they are using: ${Node.Caption}" Testing this to see if its the valid option.

In case it's of any help to anyone here: Moving away from our old Windows 2008 R2 server onto a new Windows 2012 R2 (a fresh install of both the OS and Orion) and currently on NPM 12.1 appears to have fixed everything in our environment. The system no longer hangs/crashes on it's own and it also seems like it can survive a…

Thanks! I've been putting together a migration plan to get our single Orion system off of our old physical 2008 R2 server (we have to do it anyway) and onto some VM's with the HA setup. If the system can just behave well enough until we can migrate it onto a fresh install of "everything", maybe everything will go away.…

Update: Even after the fix, and some additional config changes to our SNMP settings as our SNMPTrap service was also crashing every 4 hours, we're still babysitting the system. Basically this means letting it run X days, then restarting services and then letting it run slightly longer. It's not absolutely necessary to do…

Update: Apparently, as part of our migration from NPM 12.0.0 to 12.1, our upgraded of IPAM didn't uninstall the old version properly (as I see it, maybe it's my fault ), so we had two IPAM installations installed on our app server (i.e. in "Programs and Features" there were multiple IPAM installations in the list.). Worked…

Everything is working now. As the unwritten rules of countless internet forums etiquette dictate: I must leave this as the final post with no details. *sigh*. I just can't do that. What I have is a not very satisfying resolution. We had planned server patching occur this weekend and when I returned all of the Exchange…

I've had a case I've re-opened a few times. It's: 1184575. If it helps, look into these cases as well as it looks like these are all similar issues I've opened in the past:. I haven't read thorough them all though so maybe they're not related but the details/symptoms are very similar 869987 <- Issues with NPM using up…

It looks similar, with a few more sites. Other Exchange servers in the same "group" that the AppInsight configuration worked ok have the same structure.

More info, probably useless: I did some checking and it appears that our "persistent issues" started on 6/18. OS patching occurred on 6/15, but *also* it appears we added IIS Appsight monitoring to 3 servers on 6/12. Since this appears to use powershell remoting, I was hesitant because we've had issues with monitoring…

"Officially": no. I don't have anything official I can point to, docs, links, etc. and I haven't tried opening a support case for UDT on a bundled install on Windows 2016 to see what support says. *But* it does make some sense that what I heard is true, since everything except UDT is documented as supporting Windows 2016…

ahhh. ok. I got "SWIS SDK" and "SWQL Studio interface" mixed up in my head.

Update: The system had the same (apparently the same. the symptoms were the same) issue last night at 6 PM. The upgrades I did to go from NPM 12.0.0 to 12.1 took all day and were finished around 7 PM on Wed, so it went down on it's own about 24 hours after the upgrade . I've re-opened my support case, and I took a…

Ok. Hmmmm... As I understand it the connection is successful through https://${IP}:5986/wsman/ (the "WinRM test successful") but fails on https://${IP}/powershell/ which I believe is the entry point to the PowerShell Exchange remote management API. I have been kind of considering both to be generically called "Remote…

These default OIDs are not the ones we are looking for. Move along....Move along

hmmm...maybe Orion escapes the \ in the regex into \\ because it thinks it's a path or something. How about try to use two regexes, and keep them really simple, with no \'s or anything special my ($timeServerTime) = $var =~ / (.*) ntpdate/; my ($drift) = $var =~ /offset (.*) sec/; $drift = int($drift); Note: There are…

The more I look the "P to V" idea might not be the/a major cause. We may just have a lot of volumes coming and going.

Update: The issue is "fixable" but apparently not part of a published workaround, patch, or Thwack post. I opened a ticket and after sending some screenshots, analysis, diagnostics, Wireshark dumps, etc. SolarWinds support was able to stop the flapping from happening. I'm not posting what was done to encourage anyone else…

I heard that if UDT is installed alongside NPM (well, the SolarWinds platform NPM is installed on/with), then UDT is supported on whatever the platform is supported on. As I understood it, *if* UDT is installed separately/standalone, on it's own server, then whatever is documented for UDT is what's supported.

I did not .... aaaaaaand it appears that this works! Using "GET" (the rest of the advanced settings as the defaults) and adding the .0 to the original OID I posted returns data! Thanks for the info everyone!

Thanks! That's nice to know. I have had previous discussions here and there and it seems like people believe that you can share the DB in this way (maybe it was more accepted in the past?). It seems that pulling out IPAM or UDT (or anything) out of an already integrated installation/shared DB isn't so easy , and I can't…

I don't have the latest NPM to test with...but... Whenever I have a "IE broken, other browsers are not" it's because IE is doing something weird behind the scenes and there's usually some flag in IE to "force it" to do what you want. It appears that in IE11 you can hit "F12" to open up the developer tools, then on the…

Thanks for the update (and sorry to hear about it)! I have "true/false" customizations on my nodes as well (only in production) to control is notifications should be enabled for a node, so it's also in all my notification rules as a condition. I would have thought this would be one of the "easiest" customizations to…

Also: Above you mentioned issues with needed to add int($2) because of issues. If int() is passed nothing, or an empty or undefined variable, it looks like it returns 0, so it's probably the regex not parsing properly and $1 and $2 both have empty/undefined values so when you "my $drift = int($2);" it makes $drift = 0,…

Here's another post that may be of interest with some queries in it: Noes not responding to SNMP or WMI

Update: Ha ha.....ha. ....ha.... Looks like it's been an issue since at least NPM 8.5.x:Adding SNMPv1 Node

Not something that's available at the flip of a switch. If it just totally tanked, or the datacenter it's in was suddenly filled with water, etc. we would wait until we were given the OK and a server(s) to restore to and we would reinstall the using database from the last backup and manually rebuild the app. Since Orion is…

Tiny update: I just now upgraded to "the latest of things that support Win 2008 R2 SP1", which are for me: Orion Platform 2017.1.3 SP3, NCM 7.5.1, IPAM 4.3.2, VIM 7.0.0, NetPath 1.1.0, UDT 3.2.4, DPA 10.0.1, NPM 12.1, QoE 2.3, SAM 6.2.4 In addition, our DBAs have found what they believe a possible issue with a "go nowhere"…

aLTeReGo, When you say "Instead you should use the Orion SDK so all remnants are removed from the database" do you mean using the Orion SDK to go into the "Orion.Volumes" table and find the row that corresponds to the unresponding volume and just delete that row? No other things to do via the SDK? Just for the record: I…
