You just made me sign up again... 

I feel your pain Jez, it looks like you have your hands full. My house is similar. If it isn't a rabbit at the door... Its a cat on my desk. Or a cat and child on my back. Animals keep us authentic and real. Give us perspective.

I love this sense of camaraderie!

Hi maria, Thanks for fast processing for adding points.

UPDATE: everyone who responded to the survey received 250 points today. Thanks!

Hey alopez7‌, Welcome to thwack! Glad you're enjoying this onboarding mission. To finish it, you still need to do task 2 and 5. Let me know if you need any help with these. TASK 2 - WHERE CAN YOU FIND CONTENT TO EXTEND YOUR PRODUCT'S CAPABILITIES? TASK 5 - WHERE CAN YOU FIND PRODUCT ROAD-MAPS?You can find the "What We're…

Golly gosh! Making me learn things without a hint! I feel like i've been cheated... 

The answer is to push the limits of THWACK and post much more... that is the answer! We can stress test Akismet and help it to learn that we mean it no harm.

That is really weird. Who did you contact?

Hi, I have the same problem, and it doesn't work both with bluetooth keyboard and touch keyboard on ipad. iPadOs18

I can confirm that this LogToFile action bug is still present with KSS NG 1.2.1.4. Regardless of where you install KSS, the system creates LogToFile files under the hidden Windows folder C:\ProgramData\..., if you use the RELATIVE path which is the default for the action. Undocumented solution is to type an ABSOLUTE path…

You can use them for whatever you like, plus you can import your own. 

Best way to do it is to ask the old SolarWinds admin to come in and handover the dashboards and explain anything that is important to the new SolarWinds admin. If a company has let go of a SolarWinds admin maybe they should have thought about this before they made that decision to let someone go. I would always be happy to…

No it doesn't support mysql at all. The application is easy to install as long as you are familiar with this : documentation.solarwinds.com/.../orion_platform_installation_guide.htm

Okay, In the documentation below you can test the connection, I guess this is where you have tested the connection to ServiceNow. You may need to remove the instance and readd it. I've had success with this method in the past. documentation.solarwinds.com/.../core-alert-integrate-servicenow-instance.htm

Oh I love these kind of apps that need a weekly reboot to keep them running. Best thing to do is talk to your colleagues find out what they receive and what they expect from you and SolarWinds then examine all configured alerts checking for active alerts that look like they refer to the java app specifically or if they are…

Without going in to too much detail and compromising your security I take it you are using the ServiceNow plugin for SolarWinds and have configured suitable user and communications are open between the servers?

No reason why not, you'd have to generate a report though, do you know how to do that within SolarWinds?

おっす

Have you tried a test alert into ServiceNow? I've seen this status showing as down before and the integration has still worked. So it is worth testing.

So what exactly is the issue? Is this your first attempt at integration with BMC Helix? Or do you have a standard procedure already setup for this and the particular 405 alert isn't going through to BMC Helix?

It's still on the roadmap as far as I'm aware.

There is no reason why you couldn't monitor this app, break the app down into components and map them out and then create suitable templates or one template to cover all of the components. Does it run a database? If so monitor that. Get the servers monitored. Identify the critical parts of the app. Add all this to a…

Explain what each of the SolarWinds products does and how best to implement it? Is always a fun one... Basically your first question. Explain what the greatest skill of a monitoring engineer is? Explain why observability is important to an organisation? Give real life examples of things you've achieved with monitoring. Why…

Create a new view and limit the user to the view and put whatever dashboard resources you need in it. Doesn't matter if it's a modern dashboard or not. Whatever you add to the view the user will see but nothing else.

Here you go : documentation.solarwinds.com/.../sam-templates-import-export.htm

I've done it with an Intel mini pc attached behind a monitor. I used IFFFT on the pc to control some usb lighting strips and we had speakers with imperial march queued up ready to play when the s**t hit the fan and we had separate alert actions for custom alerts that flashed the lights in custom colours and played specific…

Its SWQL. Below is my reference. thwack.solarwinds.com/.../which-table-contains-node-the-availability-percentage

Thanks for the suggestion! I choose to go with querying raw data. But I have a problem while fetching the custom properties. SELECT TOP 100 rt.NodeID, n.Caption, AVG(rt.Availability) AS AverageAvailability, MIN(rt.Availability) AS MinimumAvailability, MAX(rt.Availability) AS MaximumAvailability, COUNT(*) AS RecordCount,…

This sounds troubling have you logged it with support?
