We’ve prepared two reports within Report Writer to report on node downtime:
These reports will work with or without view limitations applied.
Feedback most appreciated.
I figured it would be fun to share a screenshot from the home page of our local Solarwinds setup, and invite others to share so we can see what all is out there. Out home page is dominated by a weather map. I saw that a few other people have invented the weather network map, and shared them on the content exchange. But, ours does have one fun thing that I haven't seen on anybody else's.
Our live weather map downloads forcasts for each site's zip code and adds in a forcast icon so we can see exactly what is supposed to happen there for the next few hours. It also has a live clock for each site, so we never have to remember whether or not Indianapolis is in the part of indiana that does daylight savings, etc.
There are probably older threads about this subject, but I can't seem to find them. Maybe search is acting funny as they tinker with the forum. Anyhow, I look forward to seeing what some of the rest of you guys have as unique additions to the basic home page.
Good afternoon,
Is there a way to spread out SNMP requests in a poll? We have some servers on our network that get hammered too hard by SolarWinds' SNMP requests each interval and the service ends up going down.
My NPM doesn't have access to SolarWinds Thwack, so we have to manually download things.
I see under manage pollers there is an option to go to Thwack and line up/search for pollers.
Where is that searching? By a Tag? I've done some searching but it isn't leaping out at me.
Hope we are piling them in one area.

A vendor of ours has a great view called Customer Node Details. It looks like a combination of Node Details and Polling Details.
I want to make something similar to this but can't figure out how to create a custom resource that:
Pulls fields from different tables
and
Once created, can be added to a View just like the other hundreds of Resources that can be added to Views.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Has anyone encountered an issue where one of the polling processes is polling with an AD user account? The service itself is set to start use a default sevice account. However, if the service is enabled, and the polling process or NPM starts, it uses an AD user account as part of it's polling. I've combed through all the settings and every instance of any defined credentials and am not finding anything. My AAA server confirms the source of the failed login attempts as coming from our ORION server and I have confirmed that the SW Job Engine v2 has the association but that's as far as I've gotten. I can't find that any user ID info has been defined anywhere in any of the custom properties or pollers. Any ideas? The issue is that the credentials are outdated so the process is locking out the account.
Hi Everyone,
May get help on this?
I am trying to get a query to give me a list of nodes and other information
I want to filter only those nodes where the UnManaged box is not checked.
How would I state that in the "AND" statement.
Thanks!
Cheryl
This fails: AND UnManaged <> Checked
SELECT VolumeSpaceAvailable/VolumeSize*100.0 AS Percentage_Available,
FullName,
SupportGroup,
Remedy_Service,
Comments_Notes,
VolumeSize/1000000000 AS VolumeSize_GB,
VolumeSpaceAvailable/1000000 AS SpaceAvailable_MB,
Prod_Dev,
v_DISK_Alert
FROM [Solarwinds-NetPerfMon].[dbo].[Volumes], [Solarwinds-NetPerfMon].[dbo].[Nodes]
WHERE VolumeType = 'Fixed Disk' AND VolumeSize>0
AND Volumes.NodeID = Nodes.NodeID
AND Prod_Dev = 'Production'
AND UnManaged <> Checked
Hi
any chance to push those hotfixs to SR3?

Hi All,
The NPM version is v15.0 and monitors some ASA firewall devices.NPM runs well, however someday afternoon administrator found three ASA down alert via NPM web and the nodes are red. We tried to ping them from SolarWinds server normally and rediscovery them from NPM web completely, the status of them always is down. We checked the three ASA logs and show normally. After that, we had to delete them from NPM web and re-add them, then the status of them is up and everything went well.
After some days, the appearance of them happen again. However, the data of ASA is important to Administrator for reference, he don't want to delete them again. Is it bug?
But I check the OrionPlatform-2015.1-HotFix4 and it seems that it doesn't matter with ASA firewall devices. Is it great to upgrade to version 11.5.2 to check?
Regards,
Tira
Specifically I'm looking for the syntax documentation for the available functions.
I stumbled on the Device Studio Pollers Quick Start Guide but that didn't provide any details for the functions.
Reges, Substring and Length I figured out but the If statement has me stumped at the moment.
How do I convert the output of "Down Time" which is in minutes, into hours:mins:secs?
For example, using the variable ${N=Alerting;M=DownTime} we get the "Down time" in minutes. one of our nodes was down for 213 minutes..
How can I convert this calculation so that when we get the "Node Reset email" we'll see the "down time" in hours:mins?
Thanks!
Hey everyone.
We are having a slight issue at my sight with our Sandvine equipment sending false memory utilization alarms. Our devices are showing around 54% but alarms into web top are saying 100% utilization.
Would anyone know where I can find the information:
Looking for the OID polled for memory utilization.
If I look on the device, the memory utilization is pretty flat and sitting at ~54% utilized.
There is an issue in how the default memory utilization is exposed on FreeBSD that makes it look like it's using a lot more.
Wanting the MIB to correlate if that's the same issue.
Looking for a little help with the Configuration Comparison tool. We recently turned up a new NCM server and so far all is well however getting a lot of alerts that there have been changes or that the running and startup config do not match. We are seeing that it’s the Certificate on the Routers and the Modem Speed. How can we make these except?
I see there are default exceptions already however I still get these notifications daily. I did add the Speed exception however that did not help. Just looking for a little guidance. Thanks.
Has anyone had any luck with this?
You can see in the screen shot that there is no real change.
This is what we see….
This is what the Exception says currently. But does not appear to be doing anything. The Certificates settings were here by default.

Dear All,
I'd like to ask about some error i found in my Solarwinds NPM.
First there is some event that show my group is in warning state (Like the capture) but when i click the event it show error account limitation error (Like the capture attached).
Second when i click on of my node device it show error when retrieving data (Like the capture)
)
Is somebody can tell me what should i do regarding this issue?
Thanks and God bless
I would like to create a resource that I can display as a gauge showing the average CPU load across a selection of ESXi hosts. I have an SQL query that returns the name of the cluster and the average of the CPU load for all the ESXi hosts in that cluster. The query also returns the current time. I can't seem to find a way to display that data as a gauge - or a chart either. All I can create is a table using either Report Writer or the Web-based Report Writer. Is it possible? (NPM 11.5.2)
To receive updates on the SCOM MP roadmap, JOIN thwack and BOOKMARK this page
After the SCOM MP v1.1.1 service release in Nov of 2011, which fixed a few issues and provided compatibility with NPM 10.2, here is what we are now working on for SCOM MP:

There re a couple of charts I'd like to add to my nodes, that I would like all of the cisco nodes to have, but so far if I add it on one device - that chart is on all cisco devices but with the stats of the original one I picked. (on my UPS devices too so I'm going to assume all devices with the Vital Stats tab)
Example:
If I wanted all Cisco nodes under Vital Stats to show a % Memory Used chart, but only display it's own stats, how do I have that go across all nodes?
Pic: (I did this for one core router, now all the cisco nodes have this chart but display this core router's stats)
Upgraded to 11.5.2 and created an alert that fires off when my pollers stop updating the database opened a ticket with support
We have had 2 instances in the past 7 days where the primary polling engine stops updating the database. There have been no ACL changes that would have stopped communication across the servers and the Primary and Additional pollers are both in the same subnet (we are not having any problems with our APE).
Thus far, running a configuration wizard on the primary poller has resolved the issue both times, but we need a root cause identified so that we can prevent this from occurring in the future.
so after much same old same with support , logs files and repair the core installer a few times , re-run the configure wizard
Question based on this hotfix
SolarWinds Orion Platform 2015.1.2 Hotfix 2
---------------------------------------------
This cumulative HotFix addresses these issues:
Orion Platform 2015.1.2 Hotfix 1
* Interface alerts retrigger when a node is deleted.
* Orion thresholds are not filtered by type.
This Hotfix also updates the topology calculation behavior. When possible, MAC Address information related to a port is added to help map the connection target interface from the LLDP data when the RemotePortId uses the MAC Address Port Subtype.
Orion Platform 2015.1.2 Hotfix 2
* Allied-Telesis device shown as Allied-Telesyn.
* The Message Center does not work for non-administrator user accounts.
* Filter Nodes (SQL) fails for the Report from Orion Report Writer resource.
* The 2 MB line is duplicated on the Report Chart.
* You are notified that your database maintenance is overdue after your nightly database maintenance.
* The polling engine is slow or non-reporting.
* Network Discoveries does not complete.
Would resolve my issue - support said not needed but in bold says slow or not reporitng am I reading that wrong
