Orion 8.1 Confirmed "WIN(S)"

Question

I have successfully upgraded to Orion 8.1, with a large db (30G+) and can confirm that several outstanding issues have been resolved:

Nightly DB maintenance runs in 30 minutes, not 4 hours

Advanced Alerts not linking to corresponding interface ID - works (ticket 2149) http://www4.solarwinds.net/SolarWindsForum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3235

I'll be doing additional work with my Advanced Alerts and Custom MIB Pollers, but so far Orion 8.1 has significant performance and functionality benefits!

on a more positive note:  The report export directly from the web link still works flawlessly

WOW, I had no idea you could do this!
I've always just been using the right mouse click in the report & selecting "Export to Microsoft Excel".
Now I have some more options for creating & sending reports - thanks John.

FYI

You still have to do the Update Report Schemas trick...

Just found where the "Allow Event Clearing" box was no longer checked for anyone in the Account List page.  I am not sure if that was a result of all the troubleshooting that I did with Support yesterday; but I'd like to know if anyone else has seen this post 8.1 upgrade...
