The problem with that is that it'll make having "groupings" of custom properties impossible with the custom properties resource as you can do with it now. (by only showing the properties that deal with physical location, then set another for contact info, etc.) What you seem to be asking is more of something I feel is…

Weird that both of you (http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1927) request basically the same thing within an hour of each other... EDIT: Wait, you both made it within an hour AND you both editted 2 weeks later at the same time? Anyway, please see my post here for a workaround using the custom html resource.…

Well, I'm just saying you have more control of what you can see by editing the resource itself. At first I thought you wanted to replace that with your custom property's hidden property, which would make such groupings impossible. Now I'm assuming you just want it as an additional feature, though I'm not sure if you want…

? Not sure why the custom textbox wouldn't solve both the readability and to hide certain properties. Maybe you got it confused with Sohail's idea?

GroupName is not available because that variable is not stored in the Nodes table. In fact, as a node can belong to multiple groups, it will be somewhat difficult to implement and parse. Something similar is if you would want all the interface names (that are being polled) of that node. If you specific only 1 group per…

I'm pretty sure you can have custom poller results be a custom property. In fact you can have things like ${NodeID} : ${IPAddress} . It can't do calculations afaik though (though custom pollers can).

I don't think there's custom properties for Groups, but you could have a group in which all its members (dynamically) are those of a certain custom property value. You can create an alert just for when that group goes down, and configure it to email certain members- however, I don't think you can use custom properties to…

A well designed system to fetch help/information from the web would technically do anything embedded help could do but better (except load times). However, it has been my experience that embedded help tends to be more personal, and accessible for what I am doing atm- either with a tooltip of sorts, pressing a ? nearby, F1,…

Are you asking for the web console resources or the reports? As there are several ways to filter time when reporting. There's a time frame tab that allows a single time frame of one business day, though to do it for protracted periods or with differing time zones, you will need to utilize custom SQL and custom properties.…

Yup. The easiest way would be to take the Premade Report- Triggered Alerts- Last 30 Days, and filter the message for whatever your event log message says at the start and limit it to 7 days.

http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/2148/ http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/4049 Guessing those 2 would be relevant to your problem. Not sure why you would not be able to see the NCM roles otherwise.

A workaround or "In the mean time, you can use this" kind of deal.

Technically, you can just go by the NodeID. It always is incrementing in order of node creation- even if you delete a node, it doesn't fill back the space. Record the largest NodeID, then just have a True/False if it is greater than your listed NodeID to see if it was added afterwards. Of course, this would mean you need…

Since I don't think many people were on 10.4 in August, one workaround is to see what are the datetimes of the first recorded entry in the nodetable Below is a example for NodeID X to Y. The restriciton isn't really needed as it shouldn't take too long to run this even for the entire databse... but still I just did it to…

By literally making a new map that has everything on both maps. Or create a view which has both maps on a page seperately. Then just go to the page on the web console, copy the address and paste it as the link. (127.0.0.1 can sub whatever your ip is for that server)

For 10.3 at least, you can do this more simply with a Misc -> Custom Object Resource. For each resource, just select the nodes/interfaces and the graph you want. Note that it cannot display multiple interface data in one chart, just multiple interface charts in one view.

If you are comfortable editing the database with SQL, have access to make/import tables to your SQL server, AND know your SQL, you can make much more complicated SQL statements to do mass updates: UPDATE nodetable SET nodetable.contact = a.contact FROM (SW's nodetable and a- your table of new contacts paired with their…

http://www.solarwinds.com/netperfmon/SolarWinds/APMNetworkAtlasCustomizingWebConsoleTooltips.htm Note that these are the same variables for alert manager and such. As such, you can display custom properties rather than the standard variables given. ${CustomPropertyName} would be whatever the value for the custom property…

Btw, Event Summary works this way, Last XX Events seem to be limited by events on the node though

That still does not trigger only when both volumes are low- that alert will trigger whenever any of the volumes are low on space. You'll need another alert that interacts with multiple alerts (ie somehting that checks for >= 2 alerts of a certain name in the active alerts) to get that functionality which isn't a builtin…

Ah, you are looking up URLs directly from the variables. I thought you were using NodeID to just get the number at the end. Why don't you try that? As in, prewrite all the link text and just use ${NodeID} to fill the variable part (or whatever ID is needed- not sure if you can get the AlertDefID though).

Wait why Canada? Anyway, one reason this might have not really been seen is that you literally cannot see it unless you copy and paste it to somewhere that whitespace matters. I've actually solved it a while back and forgot about it, but it appears that every 10 characters (excluding some punctuation/spaces), this Zero…

That's how Orion currently has set up with its database- it will at set interverals aggregate and combine data points to reduce the number of entries, then finally deleting it after a year or so. Ex: after 1 days, it may take the 90 sec datapoints and combine them into 30 min statistics. Then after 7 days, it'll become…

Yes, I mean to disable the entire alert and then reenabling it a bit afterwards. Toggling Disable/Enable does not cause Orion to try and rerun the trigger as with saving a changed alert.

Which NCM/NPM version is this? Don't you have a NCM role portion?

Also note that the alerts WERE in fact triggered. Unmanaged is one of the possible statuses, and it is not Up. I'm guessing Orion just prevents unmanaged nodes from triggering alert actions or something. You probably should change the condition to Status = Down. Note that this means you will not start the alert when it is…

Possible but not easily. Only two ways I can think off currently are: 1) One alert for down that has a trigger action of a custom VB/PERL/etc. script that increments a property of the node TimeDown20, and a reset action that has a similar script decrements after it becomes stable for 20min. Then another alert that triggers…
