You could run a backup for both, startup and running config. NCM has a „startup vs running conflict“ feature. I use this to set a custom property to „true“by utilizing an alert. With this CP you can then just run the „wr script“ against those switches (limit the job to the custom property) after this let the cp reset with…

Can you post a screenshot of the error Message?

Most, if not all, Orion internal calls go through SWIS, so the API is designed to handle a lot of requests. However depending on the frequency and type of your API calls, it could cause performance issues. With those calls, you are basically running queries against a Database. The easiest way is to baseline the performance…

SNMP and Windows is usually not the best choice. Are you sure that you want workstations monitored in NPM, with SNMP? Could you elaborate on the business case? Thanks

It works only for Hierarchy Groups (the top Folders) unfortunately not subgroups. The API for IPAM is a little limited.

Like tony mentioned, this is already possible with the alert action GET/POST. We have done this with Telegram and Slack already.

Hi @"anisah" I can only give guidance to the Solarwinds API, there are hundreds of different CMDBs out there, every single one can have its own API and own way of programming language, so that's something that I can't possibly help you out with. For Powershell there is an "export-CSV" CMDlet that you can use in the scripts…

Hi, yes within the script you also need to establish a connection to your CMDB...or dump the Solarwinds data to a file and run a new script that connects to your CMDB, reads the data from the file and dumps out another file that then will be read by the Solarwinds scripts. Depending on your CMDB this might be a totally…

Other than that, you already have the example where it shows you the nodename in the output. You can use that to "feed" your CMDB. I would check if the node already exists in your CMDB. For the other way around you would need to know how to query your CMDB for the needed information and then use this information in the…

To be honest, from my experience with two way synch, it’s going to fail eventually! If not now maybe in 1 or 2 years.

Now you need to outline what you want to sync between the 2 Solutions, what is your „Data Source“, what is the „Target“. What should your Integration do. As I assume you want to add Nodes from your CMDB look at the „add nodes“ Example on Github.

There is most likely a firewall blocking port 17777 which is needed for the API

You would install 1 global VMAN and this system will pull data from all other vcenters. the information will be pulled periodically - if I recall correctly every 15 minutes. it is done like a vcenter client via https-connection

Just to let you know. I will be out of Office until June 23rd. I will answer when I return.

to be honest i've never worked with python before so I will try to ping @"mrxinu" because I believe he has python skills with the SDK. I will do some research on my own with python in the meantime. Usually I am all #PowerShell If you like to move forward with powershell I posted my "basic connection" script here. This…

I would suspect someone deleted your "Startup view" in orion. See if you can navigate to https://%YourOrionName%/orion/admin/default_orion.aspx and check under "manage Accounts" if each accounts has all views correctly set up.

I guess you have a different perception what vman can do for you. vman is just pulling data out of your vCenter and ingesting it into the VMAN-Appliance DB to analyze the data. This ensures that there is no constant load on your vCenter. And guarantees that you can keep the data for as long as you need it. VMAN Appliance…

Just to clarify: do you get the concept of chocolatey? Is it clear what the tool does and do you have chocolatey installed on your windows 10 machine. Check that by opening an administrative PowerShell and type in: „choco upgrade all“. What is the output?

For NCM you need the possibility to log on to your device via SSH or Telnet and then there needs to be a command available that shows the config line by line. Check the CLI reference for each device if NCM doesn’t support it natively.

Automation Manager is NOT for Solarwinds Orion!! It is for Solarwinds N-Central. Stop trying to install with automation tools and try to figure out why the MSI is not installing. Maybe try a different machine or download another version from github. If you can’t install an MSI manually a package manager won’t be able to do…

Intermittent errors are the worst...i guess this will take a while to find out.

I am using this installer on my Windows 10 Pro 64Bit as well for testing purposes ...so I have no Idea why the installer is not working on your machine

From what I read in the APC CLi Reference, there is no backup Command, that shows the config line by line, so I am thinking that it is not possible to back up the config of this UPS.

Pavel, this is not correct. You need to poll your Servers via SNMP and probably have to have some sort of management Tools insalled that provide the Hardware Health over SNMP

Sorry, I must have missed your reply. as dgsmith80​ already pointed out, it could be a database issue. The DB should be on a separate box with enough iops and ram. As I read you have NTA. Where is the FlowDatabase stored?

To put it in simple Words: You Can't accomplish this very easily. There are too many things you would have to be aware of and think about when your main server fails. Also when you have a Server "running" in standby you would need to have a separate license for this Server. If you do not do so, you need to request a…

You don’t have to install it on the server, however when you want to automate something, the script needs to be running 24/7 so I usually use the Server. I also have the SDK running on my Windows 10 workstation. What kind of machine are you trying to use?

SWIS v2... there are some function we use that are not (yet?) in V3

What Modules for Orion are you using. If this is only NPM I guess it might be working. Please refer to this document then: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/orion/docs/OrionServerMigration.pdf But be aware that just changing the IP address etc is not enough. You have to do more things. Also: you can't have 2 Servers…

Looks like a tough one. at the moment I am out of ideas that do not need any "remote connection" from my side to actually "see" the issue. if you want, we can try to figure out a way to do a quick remote session
