My solarwinds display nodes by hostname, how can I change it to display by IP's????
Hi reesepa4
SolarWinds can filter and view based on a large number of variables so if that’s what you mean hen you need to be more specific on the area you want it resorted.
if your referring to how SolarWinds pills the IP address and pulls the SNMP information to populate a hostbame as the Node Name or Caption then that is by design and cant be changes but you can go back and change the name of any node to the IP if you do wish!
Hope that helps or if not feel free to post back more detailed questions and I’ll try to answer.
I understand now. I need to change the Device name in order for the IP to display.
Thank you.
Your welcome
To make your life easier you might want to use a sql script to handle this in bulk so you don't have to do them one by one.
update nodes set caption = ip_address
