  • aninja When I look at the "daily" jobs I have scheduled to run, they show to be set the way you are describing, with "every week day" selected, however, my job runs one time, every day. I understand what you are saying, and I am able to replicate it on my system too. I can definitely see how it is confusing, knowing what…
  • done - thweedback delivered...
  • klinejw‌ I get these a bunch. However, it turns out, after living in the logs for a bit, I found that other users were deleting interfaces & nodes that were in alarm. Almost every time they did this, I would get one of those alerts. The alert is already triggered, and when they delete the interface/node, it triggered the…
  • rmothersbaugh‌ I would recommend starting with a compliance policy/report. This will tell you which devices contain, or do not contain, a specific, user specified, string. From there, you can create a "Fix" to be applied to the devices when found. Give me a few minutes, and I will find you some links to some examples. -Will
  • Mike Lomax​ I'm not sure why, but the "LastSync" values, returned via SWQL query, from the Orion.Nodes table, are NOT converted to local time. Meanwhile, the SQL query, returning results from the dbo.NodesStatistics table, show the "LastSync" times already converted to local time. If you are going to use these tables, you…
  • malcolmsalmons​ You just need to edit/copy the the policy part of it, and choose the "Select nodes" section. There should be a pop up window with a couple of drop down boxes. In the "Group by" drop down box, choose the "Node Group" option. You should then be able to select the group you want. Thank you, -Will
  • I have, for a long while now, needed a simple way to add newly added (previously shutdown) interfaces to become monitored, configuring various settings (polling times, custom properties, etc.) based on a profile. This can be done by utilizing various Orion SDK API scripts, however, having a native process to accomplish…
  • njiquezon​ You should be able to create a view, and then manually assign it to any nodes you wish. Simply go to manage nodes, select the nodes you want to use a different view with, click edit, and then choose the view you want those nodes to use. Thank you, -Will
  • manudharm​ I believe alerts and events are two separate things. You can have an alert trigger based on some event. And you can create/log events within an alert. If you want to link them, you would need to have enough information in both the event/log and alert. Otherwise, you could join the Orion.Events table on the…
  • lcsw2013​​ Unless you have already done so, I would recommend you start the diagnostics program, open a ticket with support, then upload the diagnostics file to the ticket.
  • It sure would be nice to see this expensive and fancy system do some super low budget graphing... good luck! I have been looking for the same...
  • sk3l3t0r I made two additional jobs, each running after the previous is completed. These two new jobs need to qualify only the nodes that have failed. So, my primary job runs at midnight, and is set to backup ALL nodes. Then, my secondary backup job runs at 2am, but instead of ALL nodes, I have it set to all nodes that…
  • how about just using the page limitations, and only choose the node you want to show up... then add that link somewhere... I would think this is not a very good way to do it, as it will only work when clicking on the link...
  • Alex Slv I have no advice to offer, however, I have been looking for something like this as well. It would be nice to be able to select a custom property, and set these views by various things. With all of the Master Thwackers here, I am sure someone can figure out a solution... -Will
  • andingone​ If it is a custom property in your environment, I'd check with the person who put it there, as it is not something others would have (at least not by default). Custom properties can be used for countless functions, but they usually hold a different purpose for each company.
  • hridoyjsafin​ Any of the core platform products, such as NPM, NCM, SAM, etc., can be installed without the need of any of the other products. You will, however, get more features/functions out of a combined environment, though it is not required. This link goes over the install requirements for a single product system.…
  • orionfan​ I don't really use the compliance side of NCM, or at least not as intended, but you should be able to add a config type (or change the current) to include "show run all". I know it's not exactly what you are asking for, but I just posted something about how I use NCM to manage our Linux servers. Right at the…
  • @jack galloway Here is a link to a document I put out a while back, specifically related to viewing PerfStack projects. Building Simple PerfStack Project Lists With SWQL Would this be helpful to you at all? Thank you, -Will
  • trilobite rex​ You should be able to use the "Volumes with High Percent Usage" resource, as well as the "Top XX Volumes by Disk Space Used" resource. Then, just use the SQL filter to narrow results down to volumes with caption "C:\" Volumes.Caption LIKE '*C:\*' Then add the limit for the storage. AND…
  • shaun_9999 I had similar issues on previous upgrade, in regards to the "null value" error message. In my case, it seemed like the custom properties that were flagged as required were not actually enforced until post upgrade. Going through all my custom properties, filling in values for all null fields, seemed to help a…
  • cjfranca​ In regards to the pieces of SolarWinds I have customized, I find that keeping a single, "master" folder, so to speak, is essential in making things run smoothly. Otherwise, when you need copy mods back into SolarWinds, it can be difficult to maintain everything, and easy to overlook something. So, I have a master…
  • Click on the "Configs" tab, at the top of the screen. Click on the "Jobs" link on the menu. Select the job you want to run, then run/start the job. If you do not already have jobs running, you can also create a new job, by clicking on the "Create New Job" button. I hope this helps you. Thank you, -Will
  • Okay, so if I signed up for this in the UX link, then I should just pick a different time for this one, right...? I mean, I would want to make sure to schedule both sessions with enough time in between to count all my points. They have been stacking up, and that will give me some time to sort them out...
  • leidos​ I just use the default alerts thing, which has worked great for me.
  • mungerman‌ Email has been sent. Thank you, -Will
  • joiellis​ I bet you DanielleH​ or mrs.alterego​ can assist you in finding a solution.
  • jimmy1264​ It would be more helpful if you would provide details, and specifics, about what bothers you, and where/how you are getting lost. What would make the experience better for you? Which products and versions are you using? Is there anything at all you like about the product? Thank you, -Will
  • oli_herd​ Also, it might help if you break down your first alert a bit, separating the scope and actual alert definition(s). Maybe have all of the node name criteria in the scope, then put the status indicator in the actual alert trigger.
  • gsmann​ You could create job within NCM (/Orion/NCM/Resources/Jobs/JobsList.aspx) to run the script, either on all NCM devices, or simply a subset of devices. The job can then be scheduled on a regular basis, or you could just let it sit there, and run it on demand when needed. You could also save the script, and run it…
  • Just for future reference, in case anyone else has the same question. While the query I had previously listed could allow for more customization, here is a better answer, as this is a default report in NCM 7.4: Re: NCM Report On Connection Profiles I'm not sure how I didn't see this, but it's there... Perhaps I need to go…
