Hi Guys,
Is there a way where we can add the date and time of when the device was onboarded onto SolarWinds in the device details page?
Please let me know .
Easiest approach would be to use a custom property. Call it something like Onboard_Date, set the format to date/time and then make it a "must be filled":
There's an event on Add, but it'll dissappear after a whileThere's a "Discovered on" or "-By" field you can use with manage nodes or whatever assuming you add via discoveryOldest ping will bring you back very far depending on your retention settings
Whenever a node is added it is noted in this table, you could set up an alert that would fill in the information as a custom property as @stuartd suggested. The custom property could be displayed in the Node Detail page.
SELECT TOP 1000 AuditEventID, ToLocal (TimeLoggedUtc) as LocalTime, AccountID, AuditEventMessageFROM Orion.AuditingEventsWhere AuditEventMessage LIKE '%Created node%'Order BY TimeLoggedUTC desc
Oh, now that I like.
I set up an alert to myself anytime a new Node is added as we have a few Field Network Admins that can add devices so it's always best to go back and QA the discovery and we use several custom properties like street address which puts a google maps on the device alerts emails as well as the dept who gets the alerts and tickets assigned in Service NOW. This has really helped with correcting the input data up front so the Midnight NOC operator knows all the info they need to call out the correct on call person.
I will try this, Can i add the name of the admin that onboarded it?
The name will be in the results of the SWQL query
Thank You bobmarley its a great help
