All good for now.
More modules, wider visibility, more correlation - oh, hang on, that's HCO
Not totally into automation because some level of involvement from deployment to production ops is needed. Tuning automation for a monitoring system is the rules/guidelines of how you'd like the solution to operate. Solving a routine problem or poking you when its important.
Orion maps in HCO
A supported API, and more involvement from Dev to this sub-product!
I agree with Caroll, the ability to push things from SWSD Sandbox to Prod would be extremely helpful! I would also like to see a way to archive request forms that no longer need to be active. Just because the form has been retired at this time doesn't mean it needs to be retired forever. It's nice to be able to refer back to past logic or processes on retired forms, but not so nice that they clutter up the current selection of active or in-progress forms.
I work for a cloud-based company where our engineering team manages that side, so we mainly use the Service Desk. It would be great to have some more improvements and automation there. Like the option for having a sandbox that you can push to production, an easier way to organize and sort custom fields, additional settings or adjustments in round robin etc.
I'm building more elements that encourage the team to look at dashboards throughout the day. This is to encourage proactive attention rather than waiting on alerts.
I'd also like better templating to allow more device types to pull configurations with NCM.
Ditto - new swag in the shop!
Send me another employee so that I can attempt to utilize all the features in the tools that I already own!

Improve the release notes to make it possible to check whether we are affected by a given bug. Each bug fix should have a hyperlink to a page which lists the symptoms of the bug and any available workarounds. Maintain the release notes of older versions to include all known issues as they're discovered.
Ship swag to more countries :-)
Unsure at this time

More compteitive pricing for SME
Free/Discounted Lab licenses.
More native integrations and more granular control over user's access. We have some team members that contribute to multiple teams, which require us to use incredibly-specific, one-use-case groups that get lost in the mix. In some cases, we can't build the group because of the need to use multiple device groups, which can't be done by design without the need of building another device group.
Don't get me wrong, I love SolarWinds. The breadth and depth of their product offerings are superb. It's the costs that are difficult to get approved. As a result, we have to pick and choose very carefully what we monitor, and with what tools, and as a result we have gaps. The tools are great, being able to afford them for our organizations is the biggest problem.
Honestly some of the pricing - the cost for an additional polling engine and the cost for Hybrid Cloud Observability both seem extreme. I have a hard time getting thing approved.
I'll let you know once I'm at my new employer and can dive into their/our SolarWinds system.
A direct upload script Upload to a specific ip address... Can SW do that?
and I agree that we need more and new SWAG to choose from in the Thwack shop
Improve the SCP certification program.
We use Solarwinds for a lot of our monitoring and alerting!
Focus on the value to the customer, including quality support, functional free product tiers, and not on sales. From my interactions with SolarWinds over the last 9+ years, it's 90% sales, 10% everything else - if that.

Solarwinds already saves the day. Solarwinds watches those critical services, alerts when they go down and brings them back up. Solarwinds watches disk utilization and issues warnings so we can prevent outages. Solarwinds provides the performance statistics we need when that third party vendor tells us it's our environment is the problem, so we have the information we need to get them to take another look at their code.
The answer to this inquiry is a bit strange from this constituent. I want to see the cost more efficiently align with small company interests. We do enjoy and enrich our environment based upon the products we are able to afford. However, the cost per unit is not a winning stroke.As a cooperative membership, non-profit business, we do not see the increased pricing structure as one which we can continue to have within our budget. The advancing toolsets are a heavy cost prohibiting our adoption. With limited resources, we are managing the organization with diligence and determination in planning, testing, engineering, documentation, testing, and production life-cycle processes. We do not have deep pocketbooks to invest in a greater breadth of tools. I genuinely would like to not be the author of homebrew automation, but it is unavoidable within our economic/budgetary constraints.
don't forget the on prem customers...cloud is great until it's not available.
More native integrations
True what you're saying but idk if you've ever tried other tools. I get it though... back in the day we used to use expect scripts to do this.
I am also unsure at this time.
I am not sure , at this time ".
oh hi perplexed forum member who may say "oh! disgruntled poster, why don't you just write your own firmware upgrade job again?"... well fellow strawman, our organization is FIRMLY against us building in house automation, due to fear of loss of support if said person leaves the org. We are also already paying for this product. so we kind of want it to work.
Improve NCM firmware upgrade job scalability. The feature technically "works" but is firmly tailored for Cisco devices and makes it a pain to get working for other vendors, secondly it faceplants hard (random failures, timeouts, etc) when trying to push out to even 30 devices, nevermind trying to push it to 100s of devices. In previous jobs we've created similar tools in perl/tcl that would run laps around NCM firmware automation. never too late to fix it.

Alert Cleared.htmlHello, I would like to share the HTML template details we have prepared so that Solarwinds alarms can become more meaningful. It can list alarm object details and connected device details separately in HTML template. Except for object and device details, you can easily add custom property information…

SWQL is built on the framework of SQL and as such supports most of the standard clauses as part of a query. A very simple example query is: SELECT Caption, IPAddress, Vendor, ResponseTime FROM Orion.Nodes Dissecting this query is relatively straightforward: show some fields (Caption, IP address, Vendor, and Response Time)…
