I have seen similar problems, where the HA vIP new MAC address isn't updated in the device's ARP cache. This means that when the ICMP poll comes into the device it resolves it to the incorrect MAC address and the ICMP poll fails. Fire up a packet capture ((Wireshark) and you will be able to prove or disprove, if this is…

We have our Orion console made publicly available via one of our F5s, this presents the required agent ports and our Orion webserver to the public internet. As long as your cloud can access the internet, you can do a server initiated agent setup pointing at the F5's external IP. Hope it helps

I don't see any trigger for the actual volume utilisation! Try adding 'used space', 'free space' or the percentage of utilsation as the trigger and set it against wither the system threshold or a static one.

Update: Well upping the buffers hasn't worked, although we think we have less packets being dropped (certainly on intensive ping monitoring we are seeing much less packet loss), but we are still getting the SolarWinds Desktop Clients warning of loss of connectivity to the Orion server, and the event logs on our Orion and…

Hi, Take a look in your Alert Manager <Your Solarwinds Server>Orion/Alerts/Default.aspx and locate the default alerts for CPU, Memory and Disk. You can find this by viewing your alerts, then clicking on Manage Alerts (top left): Once you have found the default alerts (use the search feature to aid this), copy (Duplicate…

Also, I cam across this on my search for answers - SolarWinds Information Service v3.0 Schema Documentation Index on I found this rather helpful and I am sure I will again in the future.

I have sussed from the SQL side, but not the UI. By opening the VIM_HostThreshold view, in SQL Studio, and then examining the design, I spotted the index IDs that link the tables: <blah> h.HostID AS InstanceId <blah> FROM [dbo].[VIM_Hosts] SELECT TOP (5) vh.HostID ,vh.NodeID ,vh.HostName ,vh.MemUsage ,vh.MemUsageMB…

Bump. Can any fellow Thwackers help on this please?

Can I recommend you start having a look at the training media, such as Reports - Video - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support? Or even read the Report section under the NPM 12.2 Administrator Guide - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support under the Web-based reports section.

First off all, the date format from your output example appears to be dd/mm/yyyy, where as your SQL code is using US style mm/dd/yyyy. That might be a local thing, but worth checking. Here is an working example (UTC time format) SELECT * FROM AlertHistory WHERE TimeStamp > '2017-06-02' -- this assumes '2017-06-02 00:00:00'…

I dont believe this is possible, as the APEs can only attach to one Orion platform at a time. The Enterprise Operations Console, Enterprise Operations Console - EOC | SolarWinds would be one way forward and/or doubling up on your APE would be the other.

No it doesn't appear to. I installed the executable into the same folder as my Putty executable, and it picked up on every session stored, well all the IP based ones. None of my serial connections are avaialbe in the Solar-Putty and there is no option to add a serial session, only SSH and Telnet. So stick to Classic Putty…

Have you tried using the DHCP option (from Edit Node view)?

Hi Arunprassaad, Please be warned, this is interacting directly with your Orion database. If this is a production system, you run the risk of breaking the application. Always backup your database before attempting to alter it, and know how to restore your database if it does corrupt. Even better is to set up a test…

Yup you're right, identifying the IDs isn't too hard, but I cannot see any way extracting the credentials and re-using them. Possibly there is some way to extract to the password to New-Object System.Security.SecureString, tdanner is the man, if anyone knows. Though I am scratching my head about a local script (on the…

It's getting late in the day here, so this will be a quick post.... To get the service start up type try: $result = Get-Service <Name> Write-Host $result.StartType FYI: $result | Get-Member --- will show you all the other options available If I get time tomorrow, I will try wrapping this into a PowerShell SWIS script.

Hi there Fitzy, You could use the System.TimeZone .Net Framework: [System.TimeZone]::CurrentTimeZone , wrapped into a PowerShell monitor. I created one with a script body of: $zone = [System.TimeZone]::CurrentTimeZone Write-Host "Message:" $zone.StandardName $zone.DaylightName Write-Host "Statistic: 0" Which returns the…

Sounds feasible, I would back the DB (just in case), then make sure that you get the same version of IPAM that was installed previously, then install fresh IPAM server and when you get to the config wizard, point it at the old IPAM DB (with suitable user creds). Once its up you'll have 30-60 days to extract the data you…

Have you verified that the SQL credentials are still valid?

We manage devices for all sorts of internal and external customers, who don't always update us when things change, like SNMP comm-strings and we too have been caught out by up devices failing SNMP polling. So I set up a simple UDP SysUpTime (OID = 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3) poller and then configured an SWQL trigger to identify any…

From the Orion Trap Viewer, in the alert rules, there are alert actions to forward (the original) traps to other NMS, or you could use either the execute external program or VBscript options to send the snmptrap. You will need either snmptrap.exe (Net-SNMP) available locally or use one of the many VB or powershell methods.

Hi Krishna, You need to get your script to Write-Host the results using the "Statistic:" and (optional) "Message:" output for the SAM template to pick up on them. The script will have to be alter to run on the host in question, use Execution Mode: Remote Node to run the script locally on the server in question and then…

I have seen ${N=SwissEntity;M=Application.CustomProperties.MyProperty}, but I could never get it working. So I created: ${SQL: SELECT Email FROM NodesCustomProperties where NodeID=${Nodeid}} and stuck it in the To/CC/BCC box within the configure email action. I am sure you can rewrite the SQL to…

If you are confident that you have the correct snmp community strings, do your devices have an SNMP allow list, or an Access Control List, that limits which devices can poll it?

@SPX13320 Use the List Resources on the node in question and select the Schedule Tasks option (if available). I then found the "Windows Scheduled Tasks: Alert me when task last run result is non successful" alert, then "Copy and Edit" it to a new alert. The trigger is rather comprehensive: You can use SWQL to test for all…

It may be that your Process is known by a slightly different name? Try using the "Real-Time Process Explorer" or the "Service Control Manager" from the Summary view of the device, locate the SQL process or service from that device and then use the "Start monitoring". Service wise it will be something like "SQL Server…

Have you tried using the Orion Service Manager, and the "Shutdown Everything" button at the top? Here is what mine looks like on our (dedicated IPAM) server:

Hi Anita, It will be down to the alert itself, I am guessing that the alert is Component based and not Application? Try creating a new alert, but this time based of [the] Application and use the overall application status (warning, critical, etc) as the trigger. There are some nice variables that you can insert into your…

SNMP (version 1 and 2) uses community strings, a read-only and a read write. These are a simple string, that is passed in clear text across the network between the SNMP poller and the device's SNMP agent. As long as the community-strings match, the SNMP poll is granted access. SNMP v3 how ever uses an encrypted…

Have you tried SAM's WMI monitor? All settings --> SAM Settings --> Create a new template --> Add Component Monitors --> WMI monitor (last on the list) Try sticking your WMI query in, and see how you go.
