I started a thread a few years ago and wanted to get back to it - it's something that I think needs to be remedied within the SolarWinds Orion Alerting Engine. I explain more about it in a previous post, but this is the Feature Request and you should totally upvote it. Feature Request: Please include just a checkbox or…
I've always had a problem when asking a client to create a certificate for web access to Orion/HCO. Sometimes there's a single domain and a domain cert will do, other times there are dozens of domains (such as after several acquisitions). Sometimes the certs work and sometimes they don't. The latest whoopsie is that the…
Periodically we go through multiple layers of audits as part of the industry we're in. During those audits we walk them through our monitoring systems and how we keep track of settings. Having a single place that shows how long each module and global settings are set to retain data within the Orion systems would save time…
To make it simpler to manage my Orion environment, I add most users using AD Groups. This works great until you want to enhance rights for a single user in that group. Usually that is just a temporary change where I want to revert the user back once they finish the project they are working on that requires the additional…
For those managing a lot of devices, groups and dependencies can be your best friend. Within my environment, we have over 2,000 Groups and over 1,000 dependencies to help manage our systems. With that being said, managing these groups and dependencies takes a lot of time to manage. And because of the fact of the total…

C drive most of the time is solely dedicated for OS and somehow having the logs under C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\ consume a lot of space.…

Hi All, I've been using [_Linkfor_Node] for a while off the back of examples from lovely people on Thwack, I'd love to know what it actually is though! I've no idea if it's a SWQL or a SQL thing, and if it's documented anywhere, I dont recall spotting info about it anywhere and I dont know what the phrase to google is.…
Lets say I want to answer the question: What applications were in the Unknown status 5 hours ago? How would I go about trying to answer that? Finding unknowns, or something else from the live tables seems fairly straightforward, but I haven't the foggiest how to ask the database for time-based questions like this. Noone's…
