Hi,
Not sure if you understand, I know I can have each user modify and adjust their own view.
But I want to create a new default view for tables that all users (present and future) will inherit, ...they can modify afterwards if they like.
This default view will contain some of our custom parameters and a new logical order of columns that fit better our use-case.

The problem with the dbutil is that it keeps STM offline for an extended period of time, especially with a large DB (eg:60GB+).
It would be good if the DB optimize could be done while STM is up and on-line. One of the causes here is the use of MyISAM databases. Moving to use InnoDB would help solve some of this as well as address other locking issues.
Personally (and this is unsupported by SolarWinds), I have experimented with running DB optimizes per table while the DB and STM are up (via a scheduled script). For me so far, this has worked well (but it might not work for you). The only issue is the time that some of the larger tables remain locked, however, this only affects a limited subset of activity, and is less intrusive than having all of STM down for the time it takes to optimize all tables.
It appears that the installer is needed for Server Manager - so should I install WSUS in the future its ready and up to date.
No. No. No. That update *IS* the WSUS BINARIES. You CANNOT "install" that update.
You can approve it, but it will stay NotInstalled for all of eternity until you DO choose to install the WSUS role on a WS2008R2SP1 server, and THEN the WUA will download the bits from the WSUS server.
And your servers will continue to be 99.9% Installed until that day. (This is the significance of the words "Dynamic Installer" in the update title.)
Someday when you have a few hours to kill, read ALL of that thread; during the course of the thread I describe about a half-dozen times that the update will never install UNTIL the WSUS Role is selected for installation.
Just found a couple of those instances, seems there was some frustration on your part as the Technet OP didnt get it! Ha, Thanks. I am going to decline it.
Thanks for your assist!
The machines were installed from an MSDN VLK download which was preinstalled with SP1
So they may or may not be missing KB2533552. You'll want to check on that as a separate investigation, because I'm pretty sure the SSU was never slipstreamed into those SP1 ISOs.
so it looks like I am safe to decline the update
Absolutely! :-)
Top of my head, this would not be easily accomplished.
The problem is wanting the acknowledged alerts...
The only 2 places (that I know of) that have a marker for acknowledged alerts is the AlertStatus table, and the AuditingEvents table.
For the latter, you can use something like this:
select timeloggedutc ,auditeventmessage ,netobjectid ,netobjecttype from auditingevents where actiontypeid = 5 and (timeloggedutc > (getdate() -30))
For the former, you can't create a direct query that will show historical data for acknowledged alerts as they are cleared out of the AlertStatus table as they are acknowledged.
If you use the following, you can get a breakdown of all the alerts triggered over the past 30 days.
select l.logdatetime ,d.alertname ,l.objecttype ,l.objectname ,l.objectid from alertlog l join alertdefinitions d on d.alertdefid = l.alertdefid where l.message = 'alert triggered' and (l.logdatetime > (getdate() - 30)) order by l.logdatetime desc
The easiest method, though not ideal, would be to use both of the above queries and create a 2-part web report.
The better, though untested to my knowledge, method would be to create a trigger based on the AlertStatus table that copies the acknowledged alerts to a new table that you create, then report from that table.
Good luck!

Can I ask if its possible to have an email notification or pop-up to the user of WHD which regards to remind about the open, pending and close tickets?
What about alertlog table? I've used it recently for actions triggered- just needs a max or count unless you want to see ALOT of triggers on flapping alerts. Actually SWQL could return only top 50 or such...hmmm.
Thanks,
Christian
That's the 2nd query.
The alertlog table is definitely the place to go. But getting those 'Alert Triggered' entries to correlate to acknowledged alerts is the tricky part.
I'm a kind of new to this SAM 6.1 . I found the default "template" for monitoring MS SQL Server is through "AppInsight for SQL" . and it seems to be the only option. "AppInsight for SQL" supports only SQL Server 2008 and upwards . The problem is we have quite a few SQL Server 2005 instances that need also to be monitored . Does anyone know what's the best practice if we want to achieve this . Thanks a lot .
Thanks for that link. Wow. 11.0RC's addition of remote sensors is neat and might be somewhat useful, but 12.0 Beta crosses 3 of my biggest gripes off my list, and adds 3 new features that I really want.
You are definitely correct with the limitations of AppInsight for SQL supporting only 2008+.
However, the trick with understanding AppInsight is to realize that it is really just a fancy Application Monitor Template (that can't be edited).
Before AppInsight, we had regular templates.
Last I looked, all of these are still OOB templates you should have pre-installed with your software:
SQL Server 2005-2008 Performance (WMI)
SQL Server 2005-2008 Performance (SQL)
SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services
Enjoy!

Did you save the file as Filename.csv when you exported the file?
NTM does a great job of scanning the network and picking up devices; however, I don't get a good inventory of the basic details of those devices such as CPU, Memory, etc. Is there a way for NTM to get this?
Yes I did save it as a .csv file.
new to DRS...
is there any component in DRS that allow viewing of device manager? I've looked under properties and didn't find any hardware info relating to network card make and model (or driver). except for the registry which is a lot digging around. or adding it as a system tool?
This is not currently possible. In an ideal world, what data would you be looking for about each device, specifically?
I would very much appreciate ANY assistance from anyone who has encountered the following issue with Network Discovery.
I am using NPM v10.7 (along with SAM, NTA, IPAM, NCM, WPM, VNQM and UDT).
We have numerous Gilat satellite modems that provide connectivity to our remote field sites. Network discovery is able to find them via both ICMP and SNMP and in the correct numbers using the Specific Nodes option using a list of either hostnames or IP addresses. The problem is when the Discovery phase is complete and has found approximately 300 devices, the Import phase shows only 15 devices. No mater how few or many devices I place in the list, discovery always finds many more responding devices than Import presents for inclusion in the database. Other facts: (1) I can add any device manually without issue, (2) I can add a single IP address using Specific Nodes that failed to be seen in Import when part of a list, (3) the discovery logs (DiscoveryResultDump and OrionDiscoveryJobLog) show ONLY the devices that appeared at the Import stage and shoes no activities for any of the other IPs that were included in the node list (is that normal behavior?), (4) there are no other apparent issues visible in the discovery log, (5) the devices that have been added to the database have a machine type of "unknown" since the SysObjectID is apparently not currently in the SWDiscovery.cfg file in SolarWinds.
Has anyone seen this type of behavior before?
I have a current trouble ticket with support and have sent diagnostics and SNMP MIB walks, but they are currently stumped.
Again, I would appreciate any help since this is a MAJOR ISSUE with our implementation of SolarWinds. Thank you.
The history is what's important for me most often, to build a baseline so to speak. Therefore for me it would be on all the time.
Smokeping just uses RRDs with RRDTool so it's super simple and really fast, even with a significant amount of history. I'd hate to see the additional load of 1000's of pings and all the associated telemetry being stored in mssql... but I'm no DBA so I can only imagine.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
...Any idea on how to create a group? I was trying to find that. I'd hate to go all "CHALLENGE DECLINED." (bluefunelemental)
