Hi Mustafa,
We are working on an update to the NTA blog post pointed by the above link.
Should not be long.

Re: What We Are Working On
Denny, is it possible to post a "last updated" column for easy recognition of what individual "what we're working on posts" was updated and when?
-
Re: What We Are Working On
There is no automated way to have the update date posted by thwack.
We would need each product manager to update the line in the above bulleted list.
Note that you can "watch" this page and receive an email everytime it's modified.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Okay, adding a update date to the line on the bulleted list will work. Thanks Francois.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Another possibility is to put the version in the line. This might be easier for you to know if there is something new, post what you already run. If we put the date, you need to remember when you last looked and do a date diff to see what's more recent.
Would this do, if we generalized this format: FSM: What are we working on for FSM after 6.4
-
Re: What We Are Working On
I agree, version in the line would also be good to have on each. I think a "last activity" date (like on the content pages of this forum) for each individual product to show when product managers last posted any updates to the original post would be helpful to those that frequent this page in determining stale/unchanged postings and be able to recognize the most recent changes quickly.
In regard to "watching" this page or each individual "what we're working on" page, this is not something I favor. I don't really want to receive notifications when anyone makes a comment to the discussion page. I just want to know when an update is made to an individual "what we're working on".

Hi everyone,
Since currently all of these "what we're working on" posts exist in various places, we are unable to automate the "last activity" for this specific page. We are slowly making a transition to have all of these updates posted to the Product Blog. If you navigate there and look on the right hand side, you can see a widget which lists all "what we're working on" posts. This widget should reflect recent updates and push those to the top. Once we have all of these posts in a single place, we will absolutely make sure we define "recently updated" posts.
Thanks,
Danielle
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Thanks Danielle. Good to know what the plans are. I'm not much a fan of having to go to the Product Blog to see "recently updated" posts which has no date when the "recently updated" post was made. It sounds like the central "what we're working on" page is going away and I like being able to link to this page directly from the Thwack home page .
I wasn't looking for an automated "last activity". I was looking for the product manager to just add this date to the topic line whenever they update the post.

This page will definitely not being going away. We are just transitioning to bring all of the what we're working on posts to a central area. I think your suggestion to add/change post titles to reflect when the post was updated is substantiated and we will look to make this happen.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Sorry I misunderstood. I feel better the page is not going away. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

Re: What We Are Working On

Re: What We Are Working On
I don't like to see out of date pages in here. LEM page is one of them. Version 5.6 Released. But the page refers to 5.4. Please update it. And please don't wait for me to see your out of date pages.
And by the way we want you to implement a self made connector builder. This is the top requested feature of all time. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1076. I personally want to see this feature on the roadmap for the next version.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
I concur with Mustafa that the What we're working on pages need to be updated. Besides the LEM page, the ones for UDT and NCM are also behind, with UDT being the worst since it points to v2.51. So I too would appreciate for SolarWinds to assign someone to keep these pages up to date. Thanks.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
We hear you. There are people assigned to these. When you seen things not updated, it usually means that decisions are not made yet, not that we are ignoring this. Typically the case for UDT and NCM.
We know those are important for you, but thanks for reminding us.

Re: What We Are Working On
please fix the crappy SW portal page. i work on a closed network thus have to get updates from the inet and not posssible from my closed network
i have time and time again asked and suggested fixes , no progress from the SW team. i even met the team at Cisco live and VMworld.
The sw customer portal
- cant find my patches or updates
- doesn't tell me what is new or updates to what i own.
- no links to updates
- points to the products page and asks me to register for a trial
Now
i tells me that there is a new login format
when i try to "do it now" it tells we that the SW account is already linked to the email address i gave it. YA DUH. what is wrong i am a customer. i say continue and then it halts and tells me that my first name and last name are already is use. YA DUH, that me!. why cant SW staff design a proper portal. if in house staff cant, outsource it to someone who can
-
Re: What We Are Working On
wanine39,
I don't recall having any issues like you're describing with the SW Customer Portal, even after it was changed recently.
However, we had a similar issue but with different vendor's support site. In our case, it turned out that they had not linked my Customer ID with the tools that we purchased. So, just like you, we could not find patches or see any of the products that we own. We too found that issue a bit frustrating, since we had to ask the tech to send us links for the upgrades, patches, etc. In our case, took several weeks, but eventually our account got corrected and we were then able to find updates, links, etc.
In short, I suspect that you may need someone at SW to fix your customer account. If you're really think you are not getting anywhere, I guess you can also ask your SW account representative to escalate your case.
NOTE: We hardly ever ask our SW account rep to step in and escalate cases, since we don't want to over use that "trump card". Likewise, I recommend that you use your SW account rep "trump card" very sparingly. Anyway, if you are truly not getting anywhere with getting SW tech support to assist, that might be your next step. I wish you the best.

Re: What We Are Working On
hi
thank you for the suggestion
I just sent a note to the web site developer
when I was at vmworld13 last month they offered to meet with me to show me the new portal proposed changes tec.
though we met, they were unable to show the portal changes as they had a new win 8 laptop that would NOT work with their own portal (;
thus no advance look at it or ability to give feedback
my sw cust portal looks "'ok". when I log on it shows me an all the products I own.
however, I will no show me which ones have patches or new downloads
I am forced to manually track what versions I have and what the portal shows. very inconvenient.
IMHO, they assume all users have inet access and can do updates from the s/w tools themselves
I will call my rep and raise the issue
thank you for the trump card idea

The only issue I had with the new customer portal was it remembered my individual account from the initial trial months ago. My account only had standard access (not admin level) but I was the primary contact for the account (I wasn't during the initial trial). It wouldn't let me relink to my SW ID (already linked) and I couldn't escalate my own permissions at that permission level. Quick call to customer support and a few screenshots later - they bumped the account to admin level and I was able to modify user permissions.

Re: What We Are Working On
WPM What we're working on (WWAWO) page list is updated regularly but not the product itself. By doing this a customer will think they are currently working on the updates but they haven't done any updates since (03/05/2013). I will not be surprised if I hear that Solarwinds will drop support from WPM soon.I want my money back.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Hi Mustafa,
I admit it's taking longer than I would like to get the new release. I did few changes in WWWO post, so to make it more accurate and reflect what we are working on right now. We are working on new features and I hope you will also be able to provide us some feedback on these. I contacted you over email.
Thanks,
Peter

Re: What We Are Working On
we need a means to create and edit a custom ip to country DB table. on closed networks, our IP address do not match the internet std
as well, if we edit the curent DB, all gets reset with updates and patches. Thus a simple and easy to maintain means is needed
thus should be an Orion core feature

Hey Edwin,
We should be good to go now; looks like the changes Dani made didn't sync to all our nodes. Let us know if you don't see them or if it happens again.

Re: What We Are Working On
Well, the WWO description for EOC reads as follows:
However, when you click on the link, the title reads EOC - What We Are Working On - Mar 2015
So, the description for the WWO page on EOC makes it look like the page had not bee updated in over a year.

Re: What We Are Working On
When will the BASE Orion support HTML5
many issues are related to Orion not supporting HTML5
This has been asked THREE years AGO
-
Re: What We Are Working On
How old is the version you are running? I have only been using Solarwinds for a year or so but viewing the page source it appears my install of Orion makes extensive use of HTML5. Two obvious examples are drag and drop resources and the environment view that looks like it was done entirely in HTML5. In fact HTML5 used all over the place in Orion. It's what makes asynchronous page loading possible. That is just another example. You should probably upgrade to the latest version. Sounds like you are at least 4-5 releases behind.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
We are current
Please note Solarwinds HAS NOT redesigned or rebuilt ORION to the HTML5 specfications
-
Re: What We Are Working On
I wonder why the PM's have not responded yet to the many entries and inquiries about HTML5 request. If they're not going to do it, I'd rather for them to just say so instead of us getting the "silent treatment" on the matter.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
I am no PM obviously and he doesn't directly address HTML5, but you can see on the SAM roadmap and read Alterego's clarification of it underneath that they are working to modernize the UI. I'm not sure whether or not it will include HTML5, but most modern websites, including .Net based ones, use HTML5 features in them.

Re: What We Are Working On
Hey kmphilbin,
This blog should help you find what you need:
[Action Needed] Bookmark Your Product Roadmaps AKA What We're Working On
And this is the page you are looking for:
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Maria,
I was kind of hoping for a one stop location with version numbers and release dates. I thought I saw one once, but maybe that was another site. Even when I log into the Solarwinds Customer Portal, it only gives me limited information until I drill down into each product individually. Oh well...
Thanks.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
On the Customer Portal when you click on the "Choose a Download" link for each one you should then have the "Release Notes" link for that version. That will tell you everything new about the current version plus have a link to the Release Notes for past releases. As far as info about future releases then the Product Roadmaps is your best resource. It links to each version and their newest items they are working on.

Re: What We Are Working On
Which product are you referring to for exporting reports in Excel? That's always been available in Orion Reports, or are you talking about a different product?

Re: What We Are Working On
I mean customer ticket reports from WHD. It's not a straight forward task at the moment.

Re: What We Are Working On
I assume that you're asking about the reports created using the legacy Report Writer. So, for those reports, do the following:
- Launch the report that you're looking for on the web.
- When the report opens add the string &DataFormat=Excel to the end of the report's URL.
- At that point, you should be prompted with to open the CSV file using Excel.

Re: What We Are Working On
I'm pretty sure they only update them when there is something to update. From looking at them, almost all of them are current. They haven't changed what they are working on so there is no reason for them to update them...

Re: What We Are Working On
Would really like to see AppStack added to above list. I know you have a lot of feed back from Industry peers on this tool for improvement, would like to know what is going on for upgrades past the "crayon" state it is in now. (Which I do like.)
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Hi Steve,
Can you elaborate on your feedback a little? Are you suggesting we treat AppStack like a product with it's own WWWO Post or something else? Also, can you elaborate what "crayon state" means?
FWIW, we are considering a rethinking of the way WWWO posts are organized, as you are correct, our current format doesn't allow talking about a concept like AppStack in a very streamlined fashion.
-
Re: What We Are Working On
Hi Balki, I believe AppStack will become our "go to" view for engineers, response center, business partners, etc. in the future. I recently added SRM and WPM to start to enable a top down view into our environment. We had a need for both products, but AppStack helped my decision to buy. To be able to quickly drill down into issues rather than waiting for Alerts or Traps will provide value in the near and long term future.
The issue with "crayons" is when the Environment view appears, most initial responses from peers are "what the heck is that?" - it looks like traffic light hades. I understand the spotlight, and the Filters, so obviusly there is a learning curve after initial viewing for end users. The AppStack Environment view helps a great deal with naming objects. Right now I just don't have a bright idea to get past the traffic lights.
So yes, SolarWinds should treat AppStack as it's own entity, it brings most all other products obviously together, and I would think it stands on it's own merits and value, and can be levereged from a Sales and Engineering perspective to enhance those efforts. So yes, augment this oppurtunity for SW and your customers by standing it alone in the Forum and Roadmaps...thwack on!

Re: What We Are Working On
I think it's time to see how we can take all of this information and aggregate it to see real time issues without having to dig into the problem. I know some issues, like a router going down, are very simple. However, taking performance analysis as an example, there has to be some way to automatically start displaying issues without having to manually do it. We do this type of tuning with security logs already, event correlation, etc.
Thanks,
Alex
