Yeah, I'm aware. Was more just responding to the side-discussion regarding ICMP nodes counting as licensed items. I knew that didn't sound right and I was halfway correct. In regards to how to monitor the ping status of a specific IP assigned to an already monitored interface; I think adding it as an ICMP only node is…

The browser cache was it!! Didn't even think about that... Looks beautiful! Thank you so much!

Yeah, the problem we currently have is a bunch of our AppInsight for Exchange monitors are in an Undefined/Unknown status because a few items within them are Unknown. Now whenever a component inside of them goes into a Critical status the App monitor itself remains in the Undefined status, meaning if we want to accurately…

Perfect, thanks tdanner. I'll give it a whirl and see how it goes.

So according to this it is based on the largest number of elements between Nodes, Interfaces, and Volumes. So actually, as long as he has substantially more interfaces than nodes, adding some interfaces as ICMP-only Nodes will not affect his license as long as he doesn't add more nodes than he has interfaces. Since, as…

I'm looking at the release notes for NPM 12.0.1 RC2 and I don't see this fix listed. The only thing I see about SQL is that SQL filters are no longer case sensitive, but I don't think that is the issue here, is it? Before I install this I want to know its fixed because I don't typically like installing RC's in production,…

Excellent. Thank you for your extremely prompt responses. I look forward to the fix and appreciate all of you and your co-workers' hard work.

UPDATE: Darn. Unfortunately removing this didn't help as the same behavior is still being seen. Any other ideas?

This is great all! Took a bit for this post to pickup steam, but once it did some great answers came in. I'll work on this over the weekend and let you know how this goes. I assume like all modifications to the website code files, this would have to be redone after a config wizard run, correct?

Hmm, did they change that in the last few years? Because I swear that NPM licensing used to ​only be Interface based... 

This is great d09h! This is exactly what I was looking for! Good find, lots of good ideas in here.

Heck of a vacation Karlo went on... They must have some ​amazing ​benefits at SolarWinds. I only get 3 Weeks of PTO a year...

Perfect, thank you for the "Explain Like I'm 5" answer. That's what a simple mind like mine needs . 

What about 7.5? Did the fix make it for that?

Yes, it will, and like I said, no need to use custom SWQL. Just do a normal Custom Table, choose Advanced, and do everything through the GUI. It'll be much simpler than using a SWQL query and you'll have far more options. SWQL queries are only needed for complex queries, not something so simplistic like this.

No problem. Yeah, the biggest mistake I see people make with Orion is using Groups to try to organize stuff. However, orion groups don't work well for organizing objects because you can only access the objects you put in those groups using group view resources, group alerts, or group reports. You can't access the items…

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. If you do: ANOTHER EDIT (I enjoy talking to myself): It looks like they use both negative and positive versions of the number to denote NULL throughout the APM Threshold table. Great... I've changed the code yet again to this: CASE WHEN (t.Critical > 1.797E+300 OR t.Critical < -1.797E-300)…

What you are doing will change the Alert Event message in the NetPerfMon Event Log. He's actually wanting to change/disable the actual events themselves. What your solution does is simply change the message that the Node Reboot Alert event says. The actual Node Reboot Event will still just say Node Reboot.

You were so nice about trying and helping Milan_Volejnik that I just wanted to come back here and let you know what the resolution was. chrispaap came through and got me hooked up with a very good technician named Kevin who figured out and fixed the issue. Basically, in the python script that controls these On-Demand…

- are the cluster names unique and distinct? Unique and distinct, yes. - do the cluster names contain special characters (i.e. apostrophes)? Dashes are the only special characters - is cluster A name a part of cluster C name? They do share some commonalities, see below: BOS - PROD - App NC - Citrix - App NC - Prod - App…

Hey, I sent you the ticket number via private message, have you had a chance to look into it yet? It's been almost a week and we still haven't heard from one person at support yet... As I said in my message to you, we have a VP that is breathing down my neck to get him this report and he isn't too happy about the response…

So it's in SAM 6.3?

EDIT: So after looking it up, I am apparently wrong. Nodes do affect your license count. I don't think it always used to be that way because I swear that it only used to mention Interfaces as the only licensing element, but maybe I'm wrong about that too... ICMP-only nodes don't count against your licensing in NPM. (Fun…

Huh? I'm not sure how that's relevant... What I'm saying is, you are using the "Interface Name" property of Orion to look for the word Qwest, but the Interface Name in Orion is just "Serial 0/0/0". The property called "Interface Caption" is the combination of both the "Interface Name" and "Interface Description"…

Have you tried the "Copy Component Monitors within Application Templates" feature yet? That's been built into SAM for years now and it does a great job. You basically build one component monitor in one template, then you can copy that component monitor as many times as you want to either the same template or other…

Yeah, that's what I do as well. Often I forget though. Still seems like they should just have a function that says anything wrapped in ${ } should either resolve to a value or be ignored.

Nice, thank you aLTeReGo.

Ahh, thanks for this Richard. Yours is the feature request that I found after I discovered myself aggravated at the lack of the Group by Interface properties in Manage Nodes. I didn't upvote it back then but I did just now, so thanks. These kinds of things drive me nuts because here they are working on all these great new…

Oh, yeah, good point... Sorry about that. I'm thinking that it probably won't work anyways, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I guess I'll not reply whether it worked or not as either confirming or denying that isn't a good idea. Thanks for replying anyways. I know a few feature requests already exist for Credential…

Awesome. There was one time I ran it and instead of getting the error message above I got the other error it gets when you run too big of a query and it times out. So that may explain it. I couldn't figure out how to re-write that to be a left join at the time but now I'm thinking it could be done by joining AlertObjects…
