I like this post, but it’s not helpful...

To achieve this seems to be much harder than it actually sounds. From my experience we all know that your words are true, however you see so much "busy busy" everywhere...

You are correct, traceNG directory is added to the “PATH” variable.. as the tool is something that is installed quite shortly after OS installation, I haven’t come across the WinPCAP issue.

IT is constant change, I see the first clients moving back from cloud email services to their own on premise messaging servers. We all have seen the transition from terminal clients to “full clients” and now back to terminal services. I guess BYOD will be also coming and going in the next decades. but like Leon said, we…

wait wait wait... on the webpage it says Databses BRATWURST and Beer.... where is the Bratwurst???

You can install thr solarwinds agent on a machine and use Netpath from there https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/NPM/Content/NPM-Create-a-probe.htm

that was fun. although the winner of the last round was easy to guess. "Here be dragons"

Somehow I don’t get the „grip“ on LEM. There are things that I think „should be easy to solve with LEM“ where I find myself 8 hours later on the phone with support and they need to build a custom „ingest method“ for my requirements. Don‘t get me wrong, it is super that support will create those parsers/tools/ingest…

Hello from the other side...of the Atlantic Ocean...and welcome to this cradle of wisdom, knowledge and experience in Solarwinds, and to a lot of great folks who make this place so fun.

The solarwinds backup datacenters seem to have a decent connection, I had the maximum expected transfer speed of my connection on my initial backup. It also seems that the backup is deduplicated, so once you have your initial seed (which can be done by portable media and uploaded from a datacenter with decent connectivity)…

I think your approach of data categorization (I would call it classification) is the key point in modern Data protection strategies. Knowing your „Crown Jewels“ makes it easier to focus on what needs to be secured. Also with new privacy regulations you need to make sure that you also delete backup data when a Deletion…

@"tphelps01"i am also looking forward to that day - "the day the eyerolling stops"

just like yaquaholic​ mentioned, when you have the OIDs you can easily create a new CPU/Memory Poller on your own. Go to Settings -> all settings -> manage Pollers -> Create new Poller let the wizard guide you through the process

Looking for a new NAS System. Maybe QNAP or Synology

One advice from recent experience doing modifications in the same realm as you like to do: - Don't do it, you won't know the impact it could have, it will most likely be reverted when you run config wizard etc.

Sometimes you are the dog, sometimes you are the tree… that’s life

thanks @"Lofstrand" I learned something new. Bringing the good news to my clients with fortinet where we discussed the use of UnDP also

Kohomada Dilshan, unfortunately Fortinet does not report that information through the regular „Hardware inventory“ OIDs. you need to create universal device pollers and build your report off of those. Unfortunately this will be a bit more effort as the UnDPs are not that intuitive. You might need to do some trial and error…

Same thought as @"Deltona" if you do not have a SWO-SH or NTA License, it will stop because you are not licensed. Same thing with WPM services

Ahoi, first you need to check if the corresponding interfaces are monitored in your environment. I would start by making a list of your regions and the corresponding devices that are the "internet routers" there. Check then if you have the "internet breakout" monitored. If you have all the interfaces - next step Decide how…

OK, this is the SNMP Trap config. Yes Solarwinds is by default configured to receive Traps. You will find the Traps by opening „Alerts & Activiity“ menu -> Traps. the prerequisites are that the device sending the traps is configured as a monitored Node.

What do you mean „can point to“? Is it that your devices will be sending SNMP Traps to the Solarwinds Server? If so, there’s no need to set anything up on the Solarwinds side, it is a base functionality. Solarwinds is „listening“ on Port 162 for Traps already

the module is LogViewer / LogAnalyzer. The first is included with the core platform and is able to receive Syslog/Traps. Could you elaborate what you are trying to achieve?

If you like, we can try this through us as a reseller if you do lot get a module based quote. Send me a DM if you still have issues

You do not have to move to „HCO“ licensing. You can stay on Module based licensing. The only enforcement is „subscription“ and 3year commitment. Go back to the sales rep and ask for module based licensing.

If VMAN does not have this naively, you can create a SAM template with a custom WMI Query https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-wmi-monitor-sw3341.htm your query would be something like this: SELECT ReplicationHealth FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem WHERE ElementName="%yourVMName%" replace the…
