So I've just finished a project for a client where we have replaced two existing hosts (1 & 2) and installed two new hosts (3 & 4). One thing to note, the replacements for the existing hosts kept the same IP address. But the root PW is different. On SW Orion, I have added the two new hosts (3 & 4) into our VMWare…
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,…
Every so often I need to access a virtual machine using VMware Workstation, but unfortunately it decides that it doesn't want to do any work today and just pops up with a rather unhelpful "Internal Error" message. Thanks for that VMware; most enlightening. I guess I should at least be thankful that it was not an…
Broadcom's price increases are forcing companies to rethink their virtualization strategies. VMan currently supports only VMware, Hyper-V and Nutanix hypervisors. Adding additional supported hypervisors such as Citrix XenServer will keep SolarWinds relative as companies look to migrate off VMware.
Does anyone know how to disable VMware tags from being imported into custom properties? Initially I thought they would be useful but as things stand now they add more things to Custom Properties that I do not use. Thanks! Dave

We have a spotty issue here that I am going to try and explain the best I can. We have an automated process for server decommissions and part of this automated process unmanages nodes in Solarwinds as part of the decommission process. This has been working with no issues up until recently and works correctly 90% of the…
We have an alert setup so we know when there are any snapshots across our VMware estate over 2 days old and this currently works well. My question is how to customise a second alert to go to a particular team based on the VMware tag? In SWQL Studio I can get the query to pull in the tags ok but in the alert page I have an…
We have over a dozen VMWare hosts in vCenter. Many of the hosts have virtual servers that are intentionally left powered-down, either as templates or 'just in case'. How can I exclude these VM's from being included in the host's status? Thanks, Joe
