I'm able to use REST to add individual virtual machines for monitoring without any issues. I use Create/Orion.Nodes to add it, then Create/Orion.Pollers to set pollers, Create/Orion.NPM.CustomPollerAssignmentOnNode to add custom pollers, adjust custom properties on Orion.NodesCustomProperties,…
Greetings to the community, I need a map that is as dynamic as possible, one that automatically changes the status of what we want to show. The idea is that anyone with or without visual knowledge can broadly understand the status of the infrastructure and the communication between them. The expectation regarding maps,…
I am seeing the custom properties under virtual machine is auto populating even if I delete it. Is there any way to stop it? It was under advance configurations I assume but still not sure. Here's the screenshot for reference. Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
I have created an event for old VM snapshots. I would like the notification to list in which DataCenter and Cluster the VM is located. I am seeing and inconsistency with which entities are available. I can use ${N=SwisEntity;M=Host.Cluster.Name} to get the Cluster Name, but ${N=SwisEntity;M=Host.DataCenter.Name} doesn't…
The _VMs with Bad Tools alert is reporting nearly half of my VM's have bad tools. When I log into vSphere, all of the VM's test and report the tools are current. Is there a fix for this?
Hi Gang! Apologies for my complete lack of ignorance here! While we do have a SolarWinds deployment, I've not yet had to touch it and recently just started playing with it. We have several vCenter deploys with each having several ESXi nodes. Each ESXi has several VMs that are fixed in place. DRS is not enabled due to…
The attached VMs+Reclaimable+CPU+and+Memory.xml file is a custom table report utilizing the VMAN Recommendations feature. It lists all virtual machines where CPU and/or memory can be reclaimed (i.e. the over-allocated machines). You can import the report in Orion via REPORTS > All Reports > Manage Reports > EXPORT/IMPORT.…
Are IP requests for virtual machines overwhelming your current IP address management practices? You are not alone. In a June 2016 survey of IP Address Manager customers[1], 46% of respondents stated that virtual machines were creating challenges for managing IP addresses for their company. Independent author Brien Posey…
We’ve been listening to our SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) customers who have ventured down the path of cloud automation, and we would like to share with you a new solution from SovLabs. It’s geared toward solving end-to-end IP address management for vRealize Automation (vRA). The issue vRA is widely used to provide…
EDIT: After some more looking around through the documentation, it looks like the Inventory Filters is just for WMI data that VMAN queries. It looks like it won't actually exclude the VM from being seen at all by VMAN. That would have to be done at the VMware permissions level, correct? It's a bit confusing because on the…
