Analysing alerts looking for troublesome nodes and trends
One of the key goals I've been given for the year is to move Solarwinds from monitoring to proactive resolution , out of this i figured it would be useful to know which nodes have generated which alerts by numbers over a certain period. Reasoning is then I can highlight nodes that generate alerts but are fixed…

IT Trends for 2016 Part 5 – Containers
For the last couple years, the single hottest emerging trend in technology, a topic of conversation, the biggest buzzword, and a key criterion for designing both hardware and application bases has been the concept of containers.

IT Trends for 2016 Part1 – Storage
Without a doubt, the biggest trend in IT storage over the past year, and moving forward is the concept of Software Defined Storage (SDS).

My monthly reports of top SQL are almost completely full of statements that I have excluded, making the report almost useless in terms of providing actionable information.…

Ability to create Chronic alerts based on frequency
I would like to generate alerts based on how many times an alert happened within a given period of time. For example, I would really like to be able to get an alert when there is a chronic issue with our T1 circuits or routers. If a node has gone down three times within a month, I would like a special alert indicating this…

Sorting problems with widgets
When I make a trends widget, it allows clicking on each header to sort the values. These values are treated as pure text and don't sort in the correct order. I'm wondering if this is a bug, configuration issue, or feature. Example trend widget, attempted to sort by IOPs:
