  • Try using Chrome, I have just performed an test upgrade to Orion 2017.3 The test/dev servers we used were all fresh builds without Chrome, and I really struggled with the IE user authentication.
  • SAM PowerShell monitors always expect a Statistic: and an optional Message: to be returned by the script. Try this: $Server=${IP}; $var1=w32tm /query /computer:$Server /status | Select-String -pattern "Local CMOS Clock"; $var2=($var1 -split ':')[1]; echo $var2; if($var2.Trim() -eq "Local CMOS Clock") { Write-Host "Message:…
  • @sotheris how did you get on? #curious #slowday
  • It's at times like these we could do with Windows versions of wget, sed and awk... Though wget has a Powershell alias to Invoke-WebRequest, and is also very capable of searching for and dealing with strings... Here's a few lines that might help you get started: $uri = 'http://thwack.solarwinds.com' $pattern = 'THWACK…
  • We did this not so long ago, very similar configuration to yourself but with the addition of SAM, HA with pollers and it took the best part of 3 hours to complete. We allowed four hours, but after previous issues with the Information Service memory leak, we had considerable testing period before the change was resolved…
  • You will need to set up a SNMP Poller, using the Universal Device Poller application (which is installed on your Orion server). The SNMP OID you probably want is: cikeGlobalActiveTunnels 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.171.1.2.1.1, from the CISCO-IPSEC-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB. Check out the Success Centre for further information on how to use…
  • List Resources for the device Is Asset Information selected? It is usually at the bottom of the list.
  • No, you should be getting Asset Information. We do even of virtual hosts. I would check your snmpd.conf file, does have restrictions on which OIDs you can view? Manpage of SNMPD.EXAMPLES - check the "Traditional access control" section.
  • Hi bwsdom, 1. This is all down to cost, we run multiple internet providers, from multiple sites, all with cross connects; expensive but the chances of losing them all is very low, and even then we have ISDN lines at every office and site. On the cheaper end, a cellular data link of some kind that can be fired up if the…
  • Guessing that you have SNMP polling. I'd start with doing a snmpwalk of the device, to see what it supports. mibDepot.com - Search Page is a good resource when you are trying to find what OIDs are. Watch - MIBs and OIDs - Video - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support for an overview. The hardware health will pick up…
  • SQL query to see who created your alerts /****** Who added the alerts? ******/ SELECT [AuditEventID] ,[TimeLoggedUtc] ,[AccountID] ,[AuditEventMessage] FROM [SolarWinds].[dbo].[AuditingEvents] WHERE [ActionTypeID] = 31 -- 31 = Orion.AlertAdded -- Look in the AuditingActionTypes table for all other types By default alerts…
  • Try this bit of SQL in your Database Manager to help identify what you're looking for (in my case Temperature). It should match what you're seeing from the Environmental Monitors: SELECT hi.DisplayName, hi.Value, hu.HtmlText, hi.NodeID FROM APM_HardwareItem hi INNER JOIN APM_HardwareUnit hu ON hi.Unit = hu.ID WHERE…
  • Hi t.micahdavis​, Bump! I am also trying to do the same myself, and struggling. SNMP walks prove to very little beyond standard system MIBs and chatting to our Cisco team, it won't provide what we want. SNMP wise sysApplMIB (.1.3.6.1.2.1.54) provides process information, but no detail into the Cisco side of things, a…
  • Use your Orion (SolarWinds) Admin account, that should work and check that your Orion server is selected in the address box. If you are on the Orion server then localhost will work. If you use an AD account, to access Orion, then domain\user and your password.
  • Can you see the drive(s) listed when you List Resources for the server? When the list has populated, select the drive you want monitored: If the drive isn't listed, how are you polling the server by SNMP, WMI or agent?
  • I have the same just logging into Thwack and had to bypass the SSL cert to get in. Certificate Error There are issues with the site's certificate chain (net::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID).
  • I pulled this from the ETP4890 data sheet Any good?
  • Pretty sure the BGP neighbours are reported directly from the device's SNMP agent. Chek this by polling the BGPpeerTable (1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3).
  • Hi there tgarrett1267, This SQL should show all of your alerts, check out the Target definitions: SELECT ac.AlertDefID, ad.AlertName, ad.TriggerQuery, ac.Target FROM [dbo].[AlertDefinitions] ad INNER JOIN [dbo].[ActionDefinitions] ac ON ad.AlertDefID = ac.AlertDefID WHERE ac.ActionType LIKE 'Email' And I know your pain on…
  • Have a look at the "Neighbor is down" alert.
  • First question, where did you get the HTTP request per second graph from? Because whoever set it up, knows (or knew) the OID. I had a quick search (www.mibdepot.com) but could not find an OID that clearly referenced your HTTP requests per second, but did find about twenty OIDs that are similar. Then I turned this site up -…
  • Suspecting my laptop image/browser is the issue, as all is well this morning. Well almost, as I wouldn't be requiring to raise cases, if all was really well.
  • uniswtc​ 1. Do you have examples of the PowerShell script used? Saying that I'd be surprised if the SAM templates don't already cover it, and if they aren't, there is always WMI and PowerShell monitors you can add to enhance them. 2. Have a look at the various mail monitoring components in SAM, such as the POP3 Monitor,…
  • Hi, I am pretty sure that it uses ICMP, unless you tell it not to (switch Status & Response Time to SNMP, under the device Resources). You can test this, if you were to configure a node to be SNMP polled, then add it Orion and then diabled the SNMP agent on the said node, the node will still show as up in Orion, so the…
  • Yes, you can, but you will need to get your powershell script to retrieve the information from the database first to populate the variable: Here's a quick example: #DB variables $SQLServer = "<your DB server>" $SQLDBName = "<your DB>" $uid ="<username>" $pwd = "<password>" $nodename = hostname #This will work if the…
  • Hi Paul, Four options: 1. NAT the overlapping sites to unique ranges. 2. SolarWinds agents easily deal with overlapping IP ranges, but only any good if the devices you are monitoring can have an agent installed. That is, it won't work for SNMP polled network devices. 3. Install a remote poller (APE) to each site, but…
  • Hi squeeb, This is status is from the Hardware Health, do you have a view similar to: If so check on the "Managed Sensors" link and you can view all of the hardware sensors configuration and status. This may shed some light on the issue (any disabled components?).
  • Hi Hans, Are you using the PowerShell file monitors or the WMI ones? The PowerShell ones, should return the file count as a statistic, you just need to pull this into the alert email. The File Count Monitor (WMI) I don't think stores the actual number for files (checking on my own environment anyway). Regards, yaquaholic
  • Did you ever fix this? I had an old report, in my test folder, which I had limited each of the Capacity resources by using the filter: Nodes.UnManaged != 1 AND Nodes.CustomProperties.Customer = 'Test' However, when trying to duplicate this for customer XXX, I am now getting "Error: A query to the SolarWinds Information…
