In hindsight, I guess the question really should be whether the TriggerQueryDesign XML has to match the TriggerQuery. 

Hi Jason, Have you tried pulling the configuration files manually from your NCM server? e.g/ login into your firewall using an ssh client, like putty? (To emulate what NCM is doing, log into your NetScreen, set the console page to 0 and get config...). If you can't do it manually, then you have a network problem. (Network…

Is there any reason why you can't just go into the Windows Task Scheduler and change the settings? - Control Panel / Scheduled Tasks - Find your job - Select and goto Schedule Tab - Select the Advanced Button - Repeat Task - Every 1 hours... etc. The changes seem to be reflected in the NCM Console. - v

This post is so old and it's pretty obvious SW is stringing us along. That's another irritation I have. Yes, you can use UNDP's to get subinterfaces, tunnels, polices, sessions, rules, traffic, cpu, memory, fan status, power status, slot status, temps - if you are willing to spend the time and effort to dig through all the…

This is a pet peeve of mine. You can and can't set in SQL. It will eventually be overwritten by the next discovery interval. (I'm a custom property junkie, so it's no big deal, but it would really help when you are assigning views by device type. I hate having to work around something that seems so simple...) - v

It would actually be better if we had the ability to build multiple dashboards within a view and then have the ability to assign the number of columns within the dashboard. e.g./ Large, 1 column dashboard with a map, above a multi column dashboard with stats. You can work around this with iframes, to a certain extent, but…

I second that motion, there should be a thread for best practices / optimizations based on usage scenarios. IIS - For my two cents, I usually like to assign a dedicated application pool for each website I host on my web servers. - The application pools, by default, are set to purge the worker process every 29 hours. This…

No, this won't run in the DB manager. Anything that is ${} is a variable being passed to SQL by the alerting system. You would have to actually substitute real values to test within DB Manager. -v

Are you wrapping your SQL query with ${SQL:...}?

Just as a follow, I just completed a fresh install of NCM on a brand new server, on a brand new OS. Everything works fine until I update the MIBs.cfg file. The latest mibs.cfg file breaks NCM interface inventories. -v

Not sure how you are rendering your WMI info, but I integrate many items from other tools into our dashboards. In this case, IFRAME is your best friend. - v

Not sure if you found what you were looking for... Here's something I cobbled together to monitor a folder for the existence of a file older than xx minutes. There are 3 arguments you pass to this script. Arg0 = ServerName or ${IP} Arg1 = "Path" Arg2 - Time Threshold in minutes So the Script Argument would look like :…
