Looks like a linux/unix script monitor: count=`ps -ef|grep -c xxxx | grep -v grep | wc -l` if [ $count == 7 ] then echo "Statistic:$count \n"; echo "Message: Count is at $count and looks good \n" else echo "Statistic:$count \n"; echo "Message: Count is at $count and needs to be investigated" fi Note: You can use Warning or…

Perfect, in that case just create an alert like the one mentioned below: 1. Start monitoring Cluster Service on both the nodes, create a template -> create a cluster service monitor and place this template on both the nodes. 2. Create an alert only when the below condition is met a. 'Cluster Service' up on Node2 AND…

3 Basic things that you need to look for : 1. Do you have access to Solarwinds Customer Portal ? If not find out who does (you will find all the details like modules, licenses, download bits here) 2. List out the modules you have and how many pollers - if you have access to Solarwinds console you can get this from there or…

One of the places would be in the alert (Condition must exist for more than 30 mins or 25 mins which is 6 or 5 consecutive intervals), assuming you poll the component once in 5 mins

Yes that's correct , polled data would be lost completely.

It might be possible by a custom sql alert definition, where in which you have to update the DB directly. But then I don't think that's a great idea as it would affect multiple things in your environment (in short the next NPM polling cycle would find out the node is up and it would change the status back to UP)

You will to dig them in DB - hardware details are spread across APM:HardwareXXXXXX tables you will find the node id that is linked to from those tables Below links might give you a better understanding on the same: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-167497…

Looks like for some reason the data has been removed from the DB. Get to the node Manage nodes -> Search for the Node, do a list resources remove/uncheck the existing resources (Hardware Health) from there and hit on submit. Again continue the same process till list resource and re-add/check Hardware Health and hit on…

Upgrade path is mentioned below: Network Performance Monitor (NPM) Upgrade Path Orion NPM 7.8.5 ⇒ 8.5.1 ⇒ 9.1 ⇒ 9.5.1 ⇒ 10.1.3 ⇒ 10.3 ⇒ 10.7 ⇒ 11 (there is a new beta release) If you have additional pollers you will have to follow the same (but then it has different bits which needs to be used on additional poller) And if…

Hi suthomas1​, Got you, to keep it simple, why don't you create a 'node reboot' alert rather than 'server down'? You should have one under default alerts that comes with your installation, check the trigger condition and create a similar one in your environment for this particular scenario. What Leon and Richard are…

Check for the host file on your primary poller (which is your new NPM server), does it contain the old server details in it? If yes remove the entries from host file and restart your Orion services on primary poller

If you aren't left with an option we will have to go with same system drive. I have read several posts wrt performance issues etc but truly speaking i did work on projects where solarwinds was installed on C:\, I really don't see a major hit on our application unless we keep an eye on it. 1. You should have enough disk…

You should find the Logs in the folder mentioned below: C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion Probably the log file name would be ActionsExecutionAlert.log check other related logs as well for Alerting* If its not capturing enough information use Log Adjuster and set the Control to respective one you need. Hope it helps

The above steps are provided only to get to the variable list available for the alert you have created.

I have picked the steps from another thwack follow the same: On your solarwinds server * open "Advanced Alert Manager" * Click Configure Alerts * Select the Alert, and click edit * Select Trigger actions Tab * Select Edit Selected Action * Select message tab Click on Insert Variable button, you would see all variables…

Hi lcsw2013​, truly speaking I haven't setup much on UCS Monitoring apart from what SolarWinds Orion provides, but for sure as mentioned by you we do not have a straight forward way to get this done. I am posting a couple of threads which might be of interest to you, but apart from what SolarWinds Orion provides by default…

Hi dhinagar_j​, please mark cboyce​ response as correct. He has provided an accurate answer for your query.

Hi there Alex, there is another field in AlertDefinitions Table which you can use - there is a field called 'Alert description' in the same table, when you run the query just update the 'Alert description' field with some text like 'Previously existing' - this would act as a pointer for your next query, and when you want…

Interesting question , but yes it is possible. 1. Add your Solarwinds DB to Monitoring 2. The field that you are looking for is present in AlertDefinitions Table , this query -> (SELECT * FROM [dbo].[AlertDefinitions] where Enabled=1) will provide all active alerts in your environment. 3. Create a template using SAM - use…

As far as I understand YES you can have the same name, I guess they would still work as Target Table's are different If what Im saying is incorrect please do let me know.

Alert Variable Documentation

You can go ahead with alert logic sent by HolyGuacamole or you can use the below one: Trigger Alert when all of the following apply node name is equal to specifichostname01 trigger when any of the following apply Application Name is equal to app1 Application Name is equal to app2 trigger when any of the following apply…

Or if you would want to run a self check , use the same query on your DB manager and check for results

The best to dig into this is through a SQL query, get onto solarwinds web console, settings -> manage advanced alerts -> get the trigger condition sql and paste it in here. Lets see how is it interpreting your conditions. Could be a mistake with nested loop but we would get to know that ones you paste the query in here,…

What do you mean by McAfee HBSS on our servers? What servers are we talking about here ? Windows, Linux, AIX (or are you talking about SolarWinds Servers itself)? I am assuming these are the platforms on which HBSS can be deployed. If its windows start with simple windows service monitoring which as well monitors the cpu…

You can install WPM(recorder+player) on the same server where NPM is running, I mean everything WPM including your recorder and player , but then check for the specs with respect to capacity and performance. If you overload your server it could affect in multiple area's. But then answer to your question is YES, you can…

aLTeReGo has already answered your question (you would find it at the top of the discussion) , just remove the last line from trigger condition , which is 'Caption starts with C:\' - that will work for you.

dreamtfk - it would defn work. yassine89

${Node.Caption} use this variable in the message where you send out an email.
