What you have mentioned is correct - to the best of my knowledge most suitable would be SNMP, but then if you have decided to go with WMI it shouldn't affect Solarwinds unless and until you have frequent health check up placed on your servers(Solarwinds Servers Health check + Solarwinds DB maintenance). WMI would…

Do you have an additional poller in your Solarwinds environment ? If so I guess its a yes, you can add 2 devices with same IP, poll one device using Primary poller and poll another using an additional poller when you add the device.

If its an email alert that you are talking about then the issue could be with your SMTP Server which is sending out the mail, if it isn't an email alert ignore this post and check for other details mentioned on my previous post.

1. Check Solarwinds app event logs in Event Viewer to see if any errors were logged on alerting service during that period. 2. Check your Solarwinds poller performance during those hours.

What alerts are they ? Is it an email alert that you are talking about or alerts on your alert view within Solarwinds?

Solarwinds does not have a store and forward on demand but then it will always retain the alerts in it, if issue is still present then the alert would be active. 1. If you are talking about Loss of alerts when there is a connectivity failure between Solarwinds - Netcool , you just have to capture the time from what time to…

connectivity failure between Solarwinds and Netcool ?

Use properties and variables in SAM application monitors and component monitors in alerts Have you tried these: ${ComponentMessage} ${WindowsEventMessages} ${StatusOrError Description}

Go to settings -> under customize navigation& look click on customize menu bars Do you see Menu Bar: Virtualization Tab_Menu there ? If its present there go to Manage accounts and check if its linked to the account your are using

When you say nodes, what types of nodes are they? If they are Linux and Unix nodes - you can directly create a Linux Unix Script monitor for uptime and create a threshold condition accordingly.

If its just a process instance count on Windows we use Component Monitor Wizard -> Process Monitor - WMI and use the below variable in our alert ${ProcessInstanceCount}

Done.

Can you please test the below case: Leave the existing monitor as is and create a duplicate component monitor as slicer1 on the same node with same parameters and try testing it, check if it returns a not running or down.

Yes that would incur additional cost for "Orion Additional Polling Engine"

you can create a advanced sql report to pull acknowledged alerts and use the same in your view

Go with a custom property, its good to keep it as generic and simple as possible for you to manage your environment. You already have that setup rite Alerting_not_required, just set it to NO for this particular volume. And since you need a specific one you can create an additional Custom property like 'threshold' on the…

Hi, I faced a similar issue - root cause was fragmentation on DB. Defragmentation needs to performed on DB to resolve the issue. Follow the below link http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/3202/Critical+index+fragmentation+detected+during+database+maintenance

remi f - Or you can pick up a simple but manual intervention is required to an extent, you can create a report for volumes not responding and delete them on a weekly basis as part of system health check or maintenance (capture volume id on your report and delete them on the DB through a query). orioncrack‌ - Feature…

It depends on how many additional pollers you have, my advice would be to do few things at a time, don't schedule everything at once. 1. DB backup depends on the size of the DB. 2. NPM (Core and IVIM would automatically get upgraded when you upgrade NPM, there's nothing extra that needs to be performed by you for Core and…

1. Bundle would comprise of all integrated modules in it including the core, first list down what all modules and versions are installed on your environment. Easy way to check would be download the bundle and unzip the same, under readme you will find what all modules are present in that bundle along with the version. If…

I am really not sure what's wrong but when it comes to time pattern which you mentioned -> 2AM everyday, now that's interesting. The only thing that I could think of when you say that, is SolarWinds Orion does a DB archive at that time, you would see this under Database Settings -> Default Archive Time is set to 2:15 AM ,…

I see an old post with similar error, looks like corrupted files under website, whats the complete error description that you are seeing ? Error accessing Orion web site

Hi aLTeReGo , when polling timeout is > polling frequency, what would happen if the previous query is still getting executed when a new poll starts ?

Thanks for Point 2 blsanner​ Attaching the details of FOE Supported Modules:

If above generic features do not suffice your requirement, try for a workaround: 1. Build a sql procedure which would make changes on your Solarwinds DB and modify polling interval for nodes on the DB directly during these hours 2. Or write a script or use swis to achieve this scenario (I haven't really tried this option,…

1. YES - thats correct 2. Let me check on this - I am not sure if FOE uses a separate DB.

I dont think we have that functionality for now within NPM, you will either have to go with the following options below for now to avoid false alerts: 1. Mute alerts during that time or control it at alerting level (trigger action->schedule) where an alert will only get fired after 30 mins during that time. 2. Have…

If its respect with notifications then alerting happens from primary poller only (Alert Engine). I understand you are looking for redundancy here - your approach would only suffice the polling but not alerting if you build an additional poller rather you could go with FOE. FOE is what you should be looking at - it could be…

Have you tried Orion Report scheduler on your primary poller (for older versions of NPM)? In latest version NPM 10.7 it has been embedded onto your Web Portal (Settings -> Manage Reports -> Schedule Manager)

I am not aware of any such configuration unless and until someone has done it in the past, I would be rather interested to know if that is possible. To the best of my knowledge "NO it is not possible" . Syslog app on NPM is just a viewer which gets integrated with NPM DB along with an alerting capability. You might want to…
