We haven't run into any issues upgrading the Linux agents. However, I would suggest that you disable Allow automatic agent updates under /Orion/AgentManagement/Admin/Settings.aspx BEFORE upgrading. Once the upgrade is complete, update a single Linux agent as a test/validation from the Manage Agents page. Select the Agent…

An NCM FR from 2015 https://thwack.solarwinds.com/discussion/comment/100053?tab=all

Ask #1 – Permissions - You will need Manage Views and Manage Dashboards premissions Ask #2 – Device onboarding for OT - Before you start scanning, make sure to update the ICMP DATA field under Polling Settings (Orion/Admin/PollingSettings.aspx). Change it to 32 characters. This is because most older OT gear do not respond…

I have so many to mention but I will start with LA. 1. I would really like a description field added to Custom Rules. Adding all the rule-specific information in the Custom Rule name, makes reading the Custom Rules very difficult. 2. I have around 400 pages of Custom Rules and they keep increasing. I can search for a…

MFA is typically deployed to only enforce logon type 2: interactive logons (RDP, Console). WMI monitoring would not be affected by MFA because it uses logon type 3. There are a few exceptions where the WMI account will require interactive privileges, but that has to do with SAM application monitoring.

Functions such as adding nodes, alerting etc. will cease to function after 14 days, then more critical monitoring functionality stops completely after 30 days.

Unless you are using a stateful firewall in between the SolarWinds server and your SNMP devices, then the return trafic will be blocked unless you have a rule/policy/access list to allow it.

I am not familiar with version 2026.0.1 (from your title) or version 2026.0.2 (from your post), but 2026.1 RC1 (RELEASE CANDIDATE) release notes can be found here: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/release_notes/release_notes_aggregator.htm?p=npm&v=2026-1&sort=product&expand=false…

Congrats Kevin and nice to see you on here again.

Epic doesn't even cover it. This release is absolutely legendary! Every tweak and feature addition screams 'we listened, we innovated, we conquered'. You didn't just meet expectations, you shattered them into a million shiny pieces. Hats off to the wizards who made the impossible routine! Seriously, you all must have PhDs…

Hi Danielle, Is there a shotcut to a recent content/posts page? All I can see is the last 8 contents. I can't tell what has been answered or not. Thanks in advance.

Awesome!

I was always under the impression that the selections in Advanced filtering options were AND based, not OR based. Have you ever run into any issues with this?

You may be using an older version of Orion that is still using 1024 bits. We have 1024 bits but that is used by WPM. I am hoping this will be resolved soon. |-Subject : CN=SolarWinds-SEUM_PlaybackAgent |-Signature Algorithm : SHA-1 With RSA Encryption

SolarWinds = SO MUCH WIN !!!

Thanks for the detailed answers!

Hi Rob, What is the max amount of agents, server or network, than can be deployed and managed?

Hi there, You can tweak SQL timeout settings on both application servers and SQL server. You can also tweak TCP settings on both types of servers to improve TCP sessions. APEs will then be able to keep connections open longer and close them again as soon as possible. Ask support for guidelines on how to achieve this.

Oh absolutely, no doubt about that. I just wanted to point out the "problems" text in 'Nodes with problems'.

Hi Jiri, If Hardware Health is being monitored on an NCM node, couldn't we use the Model value to better match EoL/EoS ?

I voted for this and would like to add stacked poller load balancing as well. The implementation needs to be done right and maybe reconsider the option to separate object polling from the nodes (Node-Bound polling) I'd like the option of having a specific poller do the application polling, CCM polling, IPAM polling while…

Tuesday Bump!

A very warm welcome KP!

Welcome guys!

You can monitor ACI on the APIC level if you have SNMP enabled. SNMP access however is dependent on what contract you have.

Hi Marek, Try searching for SNMP configuration documentation or reach out to a Cisco engineer. Sorry I can't help you any more on this particular subject.

Agreed that the existing MAC OUI info should be added to the device details. I am REALLY looking forward to the new features!

Still not possible in NCM 7.5

I take all the above into consideration. The thing that is equally important but hasn't been mentioned yet is that if you're using a software based VoIP solution or server helper then you need to make sure that the Server is configured with QoS as well. Remember to create QoS policies in Windows with the correct DSCPs as…
