Making a State Show Yellow For Any Issue
Hello,
Our Orion build is organized by City at the moment.
When a problem arises with any of the hardware within, it seems sensible that the Green orb should go yellow, but it doesn't. See below:
Is there a way to make this happen?
Thank you

How to write SQL Query for Interfaces with IP Addresses
I'm learning some SQL on the way to getting more information out of SolarWinds NPM. This query pulls the information together to show the interface name, IP, subnet mask, the caption that's been entered, the description on an interface, what node it's on, what's the interface name, and some comments about the node.
It Pulls from the following SQL tables:
- Interfaces
- NodeIPAddresses
- NodesData
- NodesCustomProperties
I'm a Network Engineer by training - with a little Regex (for looking at IOS and working with BGP) ... and a SQL N00b. I'm sure this query could be prettier, so have pity. I used the "Database Manager" utility on the SolarWinds Orion server itself to find the tables and the data they contained.
Thanks to: Richard Lettsfor getting me started in the right direction with his helpful link Join Fundamentals
I also found SQL Tutorial which was helpful allowing me to play with an on-line test database, with examples and explanations.
Here's the SQL Query:
SELECT i.NodeID as "NodeID", i.InterfaceName as "Int Name", i.Caption, i.InterfaceAlias as Description, i.IfName,
nip.IPAddress as "IP Address", nip.SubnetMask as "SubnetMask",
nd.Caption as "Node Name",
ncp.Comments as "Node Comments"
From [Interfaces] as i, [NodeIPAddresses] as nip, [NodesData] as nd, [NodesCustomProperties] as ncp
where i.NodeID = nip.NodeID
and
nip.NodeID = nd.NodeID
and
nd.NodeID = ncp.NodeID
and
i.InterfaceIndex=nip.InterfaceIndex
Here's the output, with some redaction:

How do I get the Web Alert Migration logs?
Hi guys,
I recently migrated from NPM v11.0 to v11.5,2 and have had some alert definitions fail to migrate. Over 200 of them in fact. So that I can work on them one by one I need to have them as a list.
In the yellow Admin web page header I see a summary of how many alerts migrated Successfully, the number of Warnings, Errors and Skipped and a More Details hot link that takes me to a a list of the individual alerts. But how can I extract that data. I cannot cut & paste the data., there's no export function and I cant find an log file that contains the same info.
Many thanks,
Robert

I need to setup up dependencies and alert suppression
I want to minimize alerts on nodes where I can declare the main router of a site - and anything on the subsequent subnet behind it won't alert for latency and packet loss if it the main router is suffering the problem. (if that's the best way to do it)
Can anyone help?

Service Tag for Dell Switches
Good day everyone,
I am trying to get warranty information for a number of Dell switches we have in your environment.
Is there any way NPM or NCM can give me that info?
If neither of of the above products can provide the information can anyone assist with getting service tag?
Thus far, I've been able to create a UnDP that finds the service tag, However it is stored in a table and are only displayed in Tabular Universal Device Poller. Essentially, I'm trying to create a report that will list the devices and their respective service tags.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Syslog Service.exe running at 70
I have been trying to figure out the issues with my syslog service, but running into dead ends. I am finding that it is chewing up my CPU, sometimes going up to 90%. I grabbed a SS of it while in the 80's:
I'm not sure what is causing this, but I'm fairly certain that this consumption of resources is causing the syslogservice to crash due to a lack of resources. My DB server is separate from my main polling server. I run Windows 2012 on a VM with 16GB of RAM.
I'm very much at a loss and any help that could be provided would be great.

Need to configure linux servers
Hello,
I am new to solarwinds.
All I am trying to do it put all the linux servers together in a spot and be able to monitor them and if required reboot and/or shut down.
Right now it is under different vendor name (such as net-snmp or unknown) or different machine type. They are just scatters everywhere and cannot do much.
All the linux servers have snmp running. Please advise and/or provide direction.
I was wondering if I need to login from server itself and configure on Orion Universal Pollers or is there different way of doing it.
Or is solarwinds not compatible with linux server at all?

Orion Server Health: File Count Monitor - JET Files
Can someone explain to me this particular monitor and how it impacts the system. The default setting is warning at 3000 and critical at 65000. The alert description basically just says that no connections will be able to be made to the DB if it reaches 65530.
My system is around 4000 files and is in warning. Can these files simply be removed?
On a bigger note don't get me wrong I think this template is fantastic however it is just like any other APM template made by SW it simply tells us what the alert thresholds are. Since this one is built by SolarWinds to monitor the health of the SolarWinds application you would think there would also be remediation steps mentioned so that users know what to do when these thresholds are reached.

So after upgrading the primary , secondary poller and additional web server on recommendation from support to address the multiple of bugs I am having - I know see this error from time to time ( Server error: Error: A query to the SolarWinds Information Service failed. ) and when watching the Orion services manager solar winds information service V3 keeps going up and down ...
SO much for painless upgrade again

NPM configuration replication
Hi folks,
We run a number of Orion modules in our primary data center (NPM/SAM,WPM,NTA,VNQM). Recently we've started to investigate options for failover or complete redundancy for our Orion set up as we start to become more and more reliant on it. We have a secondary site which is geographically distant but with pretty good MPLS links between the two sites. We bought the FoE a long time ago but never successfully implemented it due to many reasons. Anyway, cut a long story short, if we were to look at an active/active independent Orion setup in our two locations, that would be monitoring all the same kit, we'd like to minimize the config work we'd need to do manually in the two systems. To be more specific, it would be nice to sync the following information between two active Orion systems:
- Node information: node details, config, SNMP/WMI settings, custom attributes etc
- Templates
- Alert configs
- SNMP processing rules
So questions are these:
- Obviously a lot of the Orion info is held in the database - but we'd have two separate systems with independent databases. Are there any files that we could replicate between the two systems to help sync the configs between the two? If there are, is it as simple as copying the file(s) to the secondary system?
- With the templates and alert configs we can manually export these and import into the secondary system. But that's a manual process. Is there any way to automate this?
- We've used the SDK a bit in the past - has anyone successfully used the SDK to export node config info from one system and imported it to another? Or other info for that matter?
Rgds,
Barry

NPM 11.5.2 Upgrade ready to go?
We are currently running NPM 11.0.1 and are ready to upgrade to 11.5. I have been holding off on the upgrade until most of the bugs had been worked out. It now looks like version 11.5.2 has taken care of most of them. I am looking to get some feedback from the community on the stability and reliability of 11.5.2. Would you say it's ready for Prime Time?
Thank you for your time and responses.

Monitoring APC ACRD100 with NPM
Has anyone monitored their APC in-Row ACRD100 air coolers\air-conditioners with NPM?
I have several of these units in my data center together with other APC power equipment (Symmetra 40K UPS AP9617, PDU's and rack PDU's)
I have created a few custom pollers for the UPSs that monitor battery capacity, run time, load etc.
I would like to create a few custom pollers for the ACRD100 air coolers to monitor some variables such as cool setpoint, inlet air temperature, supply air temperature etc.
I would like to create a map for non-data devices in my Data Center that would display real time info as well.
Does anyone know which OID's are needed?
I have tried the following, but with no success, the mibs are all unsupported
dod>private>enterprise>apc>products>hardware>airconditioners
there is also:
dod>private>enterprise>apc>products>hardware>system>networkAir(14)>airIRRD100Series(8) but there are no pollers in this folder
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

NPM is showing 40% CPU usage for my Linux Server when it's actually near 100%
I have a couple of virtualized SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, SP2 servers being monitored by SolarWinds. vSphere 5.5 performance monitor shows the CPU usage on two of them pegged at 100%, yet the graphs in SolarWinds only show them at about 40 percent.
VCenter Performance graph
SolarWinds performance graph.
Looking a the Real-Time Process Explorer in SolarWinds reveals there is a process (dataserver) that is using 100% CPU time.
I've identified the issue that caused the CPU spike, and am fixing it, but was wondering why SolarWinds didn't pick it up. Apparently this issue started about two weeks ago with the CPU being pegged at 100% all the time, but SolarWinds never picked up on it. The only reason we noticed what was going on was because we were checking VCenter for something else and noticed the alert there.
Any ideas what's going on? This is almost the reverse problem that @darkfiber had back in 2009 (NPM is showing 100% CPU usage for my linux server when it's actually 2%)
We are currently using NPM version 11.0.1

NPM 11.5 - Configure Default Send Email Action
So it appears you can specify a "Default Recipients" and those are used in Alerts by specifying the ${DefaultEmailTo} variable. Cool.
So is there a way to create and manage other groups of recipients so that we can maintain and manage them in one place rather than have to manage and touch each alert separately?
