Below is a quick summary of the features, but check out these two blog posts for all the details: * Announcing Beta for DPA 9.0 Part 1 * Announcing Beta for DPA 9.0 Part 2 Top features in this release include: *…
One of the great benefits of Orion is that its really easy to install and easy to use. Nevertheless, new customers often find that they can get more out of the product if they invest a little time in training. Notice that I say time and not money, because SolarWinds offers quite a bit of online training for free. Here are…
In this prior blog post I outlined how you could put multiple elements in the same graph using the Universal Device Poller. We have been having conversations with many of you on thwack about wanting to expand this to support additional use cases. Based on that, I wanted to go ahead and do a post and give you a sneak…
Cloud computing has become an inescapable topic of conversation. It’s certainly true for us when we talk to analysts and journalists. Even though our products specifically target well-worn grooves in the IT landscape, we’re continually probed about our approach to cloud computing. We do have a perspective on cloud, by the…
I haven’t been with SolarWinds very long, but I’ve been here long enough to understand Orion alerts.

Sometimes it’s just the little things that get me excited about a new release.

Besides seeing a lot more articles and videos about IPv4 armageddon (this one is an oldie, but goodie), we’ve noticed that there’s definitely a changing trend with customers,…
In the spirit of getting folks more excited about the next version of NPM (10.2), which is currently in Beta, I wanted to do another blog post on one of the new features coming. We have invited folks in a couple previous posts (you can sign up here), along with highlighting some other features here and here. Over the past…
If you’re trying to meet specific reporting requirements while at the same time hoping to optimize database storage requirements, the question of how Orion NTA data compression works will inevitably come up. With some help from the dev folks, I feel like I understand it enough to try to explain it to everyone else ;-)…
My last post was about traps, and I still seem to have traps on the brain. So here’s another trap-related feature introduced in NPM 10. The problem we were trying to solve with this feature is how to mark an interface as down as quickly as possible. By default, NPM checks the status of interfaces every 120 seconds. The way…
