Trying to set maps 2.0 to be view able for all users and the box at the top  that you check for all users is grayed out each time I come back to maps. How can I make sure it is saved and available for all users???


NCM 2019.4 Incorrectly Showing Baseline Mismatch

$

I am beginning to use the baseline management function in NCM 2019.4.

I have added 3 baselines to begin testing, and created an alert to notify me when the latest config does not match the current baseline.

However, the database baseline table shows mismatched lines, while the web console does not.

Anyone have an idea why?

 

Web console:

 

Database NCM baseline table, showing only 1 of the 3 matches with current config:

Found it. You must use the NCM_BaselineViolations, and trigger off of the IsViolation field. Don't know why this isn't an available out-of-the-box alert.

How do I set new baseline for a group of nodes?

I'm using Solarwinds NCM 7.3 and I'm trying to create a job that will download configs and then set the newest config as baseline for a group of machines. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I've setup groups in the web console, but the job creator doesn't see that group for some reason. Any insight is appreciated!

Create alert for volume percent change

$

I'm trying to create an alert for orion to have a SWQL query to look at a volume's current rate of change and then if it notices a larger than average change to create an alert. I know this has been asked multiple times, however i was looking int what data i can access via the SWQL and think i found a different way to look at it where it might be worth looking again. 

 

I have been able to get a consolidated average of the disk percent usage with the following query (may not be the most elegant but it gets the job done for now)

 

 

Select day, Avg(pcnt) over(partition by day order by day rows between 6 preceding and current row) as myavg

FROM (

SELECT DATETRUNC('Day',DateTime) as day, sum(PercentDiskUsed) as pcnt

FROM Orion.VolumeUsageHistory

Where VolumeID = '68'

Group By DateTime

)

Group by day

Order By day DESC

 

right now i have it hard coded to a specific volume to test.  this is giving me the average volume side each day and also trucating the current data into a single point and finally is giving me one value as a singe day so I'm not messing with random time stamps.

 

Right now i cant figure out how to take this and figure out what the average change is over any period of time, be it to the first record or just say 30 days or a week. 

 

If anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Font size and color - Standard tool set

The settings option available under solarputty won't work. Although putty saves the font settings it doesn't get applied on the ssh session (it remains the same small size of 10) opened by solarputty.

 

I made an experiment and downloaded a msi putty installation file. I installed this putty package on the location where the putty called by solarputty is C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Solar-PuTTY-v4\

 

Once I replaced with a brand new putty installation the font size started to reflects the size I set under settings BUT.... the solarputty stopped to work as expected. When you click on the session under solarputty a new putty window (outside of the solarputty window) opens and the credentials saved under solarputty fails. It successfully set the user id but the password field fails to fill up and you have to add it manually.

 

Conclusion: Something is wrong with how solarputty handle changes with the putty that comes with solarputty (don't know if it has to do wiht platform, mine is windows 10). Solarputty ignores the changes applied under putty. The workaround found (install putty over the putty that comes within the solarputty package) works for that font size/color setting but it takes away the functionality of opening sessions in tabs under solarputty windows and also takes away the functionality of the credentials saved under solarputty.

There's no good option for piping metric data directly into orion.  The api *could* be used to do it, but the application as a whole would probably not be happy with you because it was designed with that kind of flow in mind.  Orion assumes that they will be the ones collecting metrics, its not just a time series database receptacle like a prometheus or influxdb.  They wrote the code for collecting data with the assumption that you would not need to do it yourself.

Is there a way to have separate entries for Warranty Exp. and Purchase dates?

Hi Everyone,

 

Within my Web HelpDesk user interface the Warranty Exp. date of an asset is inexplicably linked to the Purchase Date.

 

 

Is there any way to set the Warranty Exp. date separately?

 

My system information is as follows -

 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

Re: JSON AcknowledgedBy Inbound using xMatters Integration Agent

I'm running into this scenario as well.  I've built a Django application to provide an Acknowledge button for an alert which then calls a custom Python function and passes it to the Solarwinds swisclient using Invoke:  swis.invoke('Orion.AlertActive', 'Acknowledge', alert_list, note).  But the alert is acknowledged by the API account.

 

In the case of using the Python SWIS client, is there any method for passing a custom X-SolarWinds-Impersonate header?  Or would I need to modify swisclient.py "classSwisClient" and conditionally add the custom header somehow?
