Search by Serial Numbers

It's time SolarWinds. I can see this question was asked 16 years ago and has been asked many times since. Unfortunately, this feature STILL does not exist in your product. The world uses Serial Numbers for a reason and we SHOULD be able to search by them by now.

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEARCH BY SERIAL NUMBERS!

Please add this feature into SolarWinds. It's not that difficult.

  • Hi 

    Good luck with that ...until they will do something with Python support ..here my "work around"

    That device template allow you to "backup" the cli output from  cisco device there is one more for juniper..

    That allow you to search the device serial just like any other compliance search..

  • This is an example widget to search by hardware serial number.

    Widget is Custom Query

    SELECT OrionNodes.Caption as Node,
    OrionNodes.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Node],
    NcmEntityPhysical.EntityName,
    OrionNodes.IP_Address,
    NcmEntityPhysical.EntityDescription,
    NcmEntityPhysical.Serial,
    OrionNodes.HardwareHealthInfos.ServiceTag,
    '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + OrionNodes.StatusLED AS [_IconFor_Node]
    FROM NCM.NodeProperties AS NcmNodeProperties
    INNER JOIN Orion.Nodes AS OrionNodes ON NcmNodeProperties.CoreNodeID=OrionNodes.NodeID 
    LEFT JOIN NCM.EntityPhysical AS NcmEntityPhysical ON NcmEntityPhysical.NodeID=NcmNodeProperties.NodeID AND (NcmEntityPhysical.EntityClass='3' OR NcmEntityPhysical.EntityClass='chassis(3)')
    --Remove Comments below for the Search Box
    --Where NcmEntityPhysical.Serial is Null
    --Uncomment for Search
    --Where NcmEntityPhysical.Serial like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'
    --or
    --OrionNodes.Caption like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'
    --OR
    --OrionNodes.HardwareHealthInfos.ServiceTag like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'
