The Problem: Node‑Level Health Isn’t Enough For modular Cisco platforms—Catalyst chassis, Nexus spines and leafs, big ISR/ASR routers—most of the real risk lives at the FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) level: Power supplies going in and out of service Fan trays limping along in warning state Line cards bouncing or failing…
In Observability Self-Hosted 2026.1, we introduced Routing Insights — enriched routing tables and routing peer data that connected routes to their forwarding interfaces, next-hop peers, VRFs, and flap history. Observability Self-Hosted 2026.2 delivers Routing Summary Dashboard. This post walks through what the Routing…
Are You Observing Your SD-WAN at the Right Level?SD-WAN has changed how networks are designed, deployed, and operated. Control is centralised, policies are abstracted, and traffic decisions are continuously optimised across multiple paths. SD-WAN platforms already expose rich, fabric-level telemetry through their…
Hi everyone, I am looking for some community guidance and shared experiences regarding monitoring a NetApp MetroCluster setup using SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM). We want to ensure we have robust visibility into the MetroCluster connection status and replication health between the nodes/sites. Ideally, we need…
We discovered that some of our switches had an internal error, resulting in them not generation or sending logs for months. We would like SW to monitor this somehow. I first tried creating an alert, but that requires a field with a date of last received log from a device, which - to my knowledge - does not exist. Then i…
In NCM, i've made a baseline config with some negate (no) commands. In the comparison criteria, i've made a regex for ignoring commands that starts with "no". After updating the baseline config, i can see that some of the negating commands are ignored, but not all. Why?
Hi there, I would like to understand the feasibility of automatic onboarding of Network devices via SNMP V2 & SNMP V3, where the device info & credentials are present under a certain table in SolarWinds database itself. Is there a way that we can instruct the discovery to look for the data present in custom table or do we…
Hi Everyone, I have spent the last decade working for an organization that heavily utilized SolarWinds, and one thing I was tasked with was seeing about the possibility to connect SolarWinds to PowerBI. I spent a lot of time researching and piecing things together from varying posts, but I never saw a comprehensive how to…
Summary Requesting enhancement to SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM) to provide rule integrity protection and version control for compliance policies, rules, and reports. This would ensure that centrally provided compliance content cannot be modified—intentionally or unintentionally—by downstream users (e.g.,…
As of Q2 2026, SolarWinds has identified four critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.1) affecting Serv-U 15.5. These flaws, including Broken Access Control and Type Confusion, could allow an attacker to gain root access to your file server. What you need to do: Update Now: Ensure you are on version 15.5.4 or later. Check…
