How to create an alert for disk free space in GB rather than a percentage?

I to create an alert that tells me when I have less than 10 GB free on the D:\ of a guest VM. I have only found alerts for percentage of free space, but not actual data size


Active Alerts but why not all alerts?

$

Anyone else find "Active Alerts" just about useless because of how they've implemented alerting?

 

I'm struggling to create a useful view within Orion that will show alerts based on unique criteria.  The "Active Alerts" view almost gets us there but the fact that is doesn't display alerts that have been reset makes it not usable for us.  We have a large number of critical alerts (most are component monitors) that are required to reset almost immediately in order to pick up the re-occurrence of a monitored event.  Also, with events like node/interface down or capacity or whatever, the fact that the alert resets soon after the trigger is normal and expected.  I'm baffled why the main display for alerts would not take into consideration this behavior.   My expectation is that an "Alerts" view could show all alerts triggered within a given period of time for instance, instead of those that just happen to still be active.

 

I understand that unique SWQL queries can be created (we've created many) but these present their own limitations and we have yet to create a view that has the interactive feel and customization options of the "Active Alerts" view.

 

Am I missing something?

Hourly Average bps- Need SWQL Help

All,

I have the below report that is intended to give me an hourly average bps over the last 24 hours.  However my data doesnt appear to be getting averaged over the hour, as I have multiple entries per hour for the same interface.  Can anyone clue me in to what is messed up in my query?  thank you!

 

SELECT I.FullName, DateTrunc('Hour', NIT.DateTime) AS Date, ROUND(AVG(InAveragebps)/1000000, 1) AS AVG_IN_MBPS,  ROUND(MIN(InMinbps)/1000000, 2) AS MIN_MBPS, ROUND(MAX(InMaxbps)/1000000, 2) AS MAX_MBPS

 

FROM Orion.NPM.InterfaceTraffic NIT

INNER JOIN Orion.NPM.Interfaces I ON I.InterfaceID = NIT.InterfaceID

INNER JOIN Orion.NodesCustomProperties CP ON CP.NodeID = NIT.NodeID

WHERE I.FullName LIKE '%outside%' AND CP.City NOT LIKE '%MAIN%'

AND DateTrunc('DAY', NIT.DateTime) >= DateTrunc('DAY', getDate()-1)

GROUP BY I.FullName, NIT.DATETIME

ORDER BY ROUND(AVG(InAveragebps)/1000000, 1) DESC

When monitoring an F5 balancer in solarwind, is there a possibility to monitor only the virtual servers that are on and not all? I ask this because there are some virtual servers that are turned off and that later we are going to eliminate them.

Cisco ASA as a Default gateway?

$
0
0

There has been over 1 million of Cisco ASAs built and deployed around the world in a past years (good job Cisco!). As not supporting SNMP protocol properly, they often complicate our lives when configured to be Default gateways, not allowing products like SolarWinds User Device Tracker to monitor what's behind. Do you use your ASAs as a Default gateways too? If so, what percentage of your network they route?

Dependency aware Alert examples

Hi guys,

 

Could anyone please share screenshots of their trigger condition for an alert that is suited to mute Down alerts on Child objects that are down?

I have a dependency where a router is the parent and a group is the child. I only wish to receive alerts when the router is down and suppress the hundreds of alerts I would get when the group members are down. Any help greatly appreciated.

HTML code in Network atlas map showing

$

0

Couldn't think of a decent description for this, so I'll try to explain further what I'm seeing below.

 

I have a Network Atlas map showing various devices and I've incorporated variables (CPU, Mem etc) so that these can be viewed 'at a glance' for the various devices. On this particular map, I also have 'Percentage of used space' for a couple of the disks within that piece of infrastructure.

 

Due to the thresholds in place, these appear to want to show in red but instead of the colour changing (which it does for CPU and Mem) I get the following for the disk space (just to be clear, I outlined that in red).  I don't have an example showing CPU/Mem at present, but I'm hopeful you understand what I mean here?

Not above thresholds shows as below (which is what I'd expect)

 

Same in all browsers (FF, Chrome, IE)

 

Any thoughts anyone, or if you wanted to try and replicate this, have a read through of HIDDEN GEMS IN ORION NETWORK ATLAS  which is where I picked up this tip from.

network atlas tool tips

This has been driving me crazy and I can't find the solution although I'm sure it's simple.  On the solarwinds web console, when hovering over a device included on a network atlas map, the tool tip displays the full html instead of just the tooltip message.  Does this in both Chrome and Firefox.  Anyone else have this problem or know the solution?

 

Thanks

Solarwinds agent getting too hungry!!

Can someone explain this?

 

restarting the solarwinds agent bring its back down to this

 

please dont tell me to change polling method the issue is the servers are spec'd out to do a task not then another 3rd of resource to monitor it.

 

Can I limit it somewhere or automate a service restart?

 

this is happening on about 20 servers that are close to the limits of the box's limits so is being highlighted.

 

Will probably be having this issue on other servers just not visable as they have more spec?
