are you expecting that the metrics are appearing somewhat „automagically“ when you add the MIB? If this is the expectation, you can save yourself the hassle of opening a case. Solarwinds has a standard set of general OIDs that it is using for basic monitoring, those OID are usually industry standards. If you need other…

the short answer is: you can’t add your own MIBs. It’s not how Solarwinds works. @naveensingh43 pointed out the comprehensive answer. what is your expected outcome when you could import those MIBs?

Last time I checked, Single Subnet Failover with a VIP is not supported in Azure. Only Multi-Subnet with DNS entry is supported. As you can only configure Netflow destination as an IP, you need to simultaneously send Netflow data to both HA pair servers. They will get discarded on the passive node. Only the active node…

@chucksimalchik yeah, in the old days where each module had its own installer, you needed to follow the correct upgrade path with the versions, and there was also a different installer for the APEs… not to mention NeverFail-HA solution, that did not really stood up to the name 😬. One upgrade for a customer with many…

you essentially only do the ISO install on the MPE and then distribute via centralised upgrade. You just need to make sure that the Solarwinds admin service is not yet upgraded to 2026.1 on your APEs/AWEs/HAStandbys. If it is, you just uninstall Admin Service and install the version from your MPE or the ISO. Cheers

you need to use the full ISO for your corresponding version. If you have the online-installer (around 100-200MB in size) it will pull the latest version.

without any further details, I would look into an alert action to forward a message. Basically you are leveraging an alert when your desired Syslog is detected, the action then is to just forward it.

it‘s possible, I have done that multiple times. The „gotchas“ with the licenses have been mentioned by @Lofstrand . However if you are comfortable with the API, you can write migration scripts to move data from your old instance to the new insinstances. With that you „start fresh“.

it work just fine under regular conditions. However when your AD has issues authenticating users, your monitoring system will be affected and most likely won’t inform you of the issues. Other than that, using an AD account for the DB connection has no noticable performance disadvantage

I never used the graphical query builder and usually build out my own queries, test them and then copy into the widget. yours would be: SELECT COUNT(n.NodeID) AS UpNodes FROM Orion.Nodes AS n WHERE n.Status = 1 hope that helps, eveven though it’s not 100% what you were asking for.

a fun side note on index fragmentation https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/where-do-the-books-online-index-fragmentation-thresholds-come-from/

what kind of „security server“ are we talking about. Is it a „plain old Active Directory“ or something else? I usually tend towards SQL only accounts, if the authentication servers are not working, your monitoring to tell you this isn’t working either…

https://yoursolarwindsserver/Orion/Admin/swis.aspx it’s not a Full SWQL Studio but it’s a start

Are you using the VNQM Module? I have seen this on multiple installations but it has not affected anyone who is not using the VNQM Module. Unfortunately I have not seen this on an installation where VNQM is in use, so I had the "need" to investigate further.

as @Lofstrand mentioned the Audit Table is only available for admins. This would be my query for "non admins" Add the EventTypes you want to the list in the Where clause SELECT E.EventTime ,E.Message ,E.EventTypeProperties.Name FROM Orion.Events AS E WHERE E.EventTypeProperties.EventType IN…

SELECT EventType, Name, Bold, BackColor, Icon, Sort, Notify, Record, Sound, Mute, NotifyMessage, NotifySubject, OrionFeatureName FROM Orion.EventTypes and this should give you all possible eventTypes

SELECT ActionTypeID, ActionType, ActionTypeDisplayName, OperationStatus FROM Orion.AuditingActionTypes This should give you all possible Audit Types.

I don’t know if you want to use a DISTINCT here. I would use the Action types to filter for events you want to see. There is a Table with all ActionTypes I just need to find it again.

you can use the API/SDK for adding Nodes https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/CRUD.AddNode.ps1

There is no native poller that does this. You need to create your own powershell script that does that for you. and put it in a SAM Component. However, be aware that a "list directories" causes heavy load on a Server, as it needs to iterate through the whole disk. If you run this too frequently it might hammer down your…

you can also check the AuditingEvents Table: SELECT Audit.TimeLoggedUtc ,Audit.AccountID ,Audit.ActionTypeID ,Audit.AuditEventMessage ,Audit.DisplayName FROM Orion.AuditingEvents AS Audit WHERE Audit.ActionTypeID in (33,34) AND Audit.TimeLoggedUtc >ADDHOUR(-24,GETUTCDATE()) this also includes deleted nodes. if you only…

you need to base the query off of the events table. Maybe I can find an example query I did in the past…

Nice to see a post from you @KMSigma.SWI . Glad you are still around the community. cheers!

Never thought of this, ththanks. I learned something today.

this is expected, as the OID is associated with the compaq MIB. You could fiddle in the database but this won’t be anywhere near of a supported scenario. Also you could ask HP to come up with their own HP branded MIB and retire the Compaq MIB. Cheers

there is more to the license requirements than just the polling method. If you add a API Poller or SAM Template to an ICMP Node, it no longer falls under the „ICMP free“ tier and it needs a license

my favourite SC place is Myrtle Beach 😬

are you referring to Solarwinds Service desk? This is the Observability forum… @Walshy @John.Summers @ChrystalT can you move this post to the ITSM forum if confirmed which product is meant.

you can modify the connector with the according facility. You can also add multiple connectors of the same type and just modify the facility/syslog location

also I sent you a direct message. Check if that’s something you want to do.
