The usual IT answer “it depends” ;). By default I think 10 concurrent sessions are opened. However when a Device is “done” it could be that the setting to look at on your authentication system is “number of logins in a certain timeframe”. From your description it really sounds like you need to look at the MS NPS Server

Ah, sorry I misunderstood your Initial request. So you want to change the actual Hostname of the device itself, not only the display name in the Orion Platform. Yes then NCM Scripting seems to be a valid option. I am not sure if there is a „replace“ function in the Config Change templates. Haven’t had that request before…

Hi Vinjay, I was able to migrate the following things with the API: Groups Nodes (WMI Credentials have to be set up manually first) CPs so if you ever run into something where you need those things to migrate drop me a line. Cheers

Smart start is often fulfilled by consulting companies around the globe, so someone wants to be paid for doing this. Usually you can also contact those companies to purchase a consultation directly to get the most out of Solarwinds. Trust me it is worth the money. Shameless self promotion: I have been to numerous clients…

Do you know the Name of the Group in Advance or should the Group Name be determined by the Name of the Node? I think you need to get the ContainerID of your Group first. From there you need to create a new GroupMembership with given ID.... Let me check in the SWQL Studio later, maybe I can create something ad-hoc. I…

Alright, then it makes sense that the polling method needs to be set to agentless.

Thanks for the Input. I might need to rewrite some of my scripts ...

Hi blm_me​ the template amarnath_r​ suggestes contains the "Windows Event Log Monitor" have a look at that, there you can see how System Events are monitored and processed. Cheers, Holger

For everyone who is also facing this issue: we did not have the appropriate pollers handed over in the Import script This piece of code helped: # register specific pollers for the node $poller = @{ NetObject="N:"+$newNode["NodeID"]; NetObjectType="N"; NetObjectID=$newNode["NodeID"]; } # Details…

A session trace, to see what commands and responses are sent back and forth might be the best way here to troubleshoot. I have solved most connectivity issues ba actually analyzing the traces.

So if you let it run from a different server than your Orion Core, do you have the SDK installed? Do you have the connection String in the Script set to the IP-Address/DNS Name of your Orion Core machine? as long as the Script is kicked off on any machine with the SDK installed it should also remotely connect to SWIS.…

Thanks for sharing

To my knowledge yes, since the FoE of Orion is based on the Neverfail Engine. I am not 100% sure but very confident that indeed those 2 are the same.

Here are 2 links to read: https://logicalread.com/sql-server-availability-technology/#.WdY6EGi0OHs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/failover-clusters/windows/windows-server-failover-clustering-wsfc-with-sql-server

The only important information in my link is: Note This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Use Always On availability groups instead.

OK, so Google-Translate did not do a good job. Solarwinds itself does not do any routing/switching, it relies on the operating-system underneath it, to have the network properly configured for the server. It also relies on a properly configured network (switches/routers/...). Solarwinds can't do any networking magic to…

Look more like a communication/integration issue between the virtual appliance and the Orion Core. Please run the integration wizard on Orion Platform again

SQL Express has a size Limit on the database. so if you are planning on using SQL Express you need to take that into consideration find all SQL Express limitations on Whackypedia SQL Server Express - Wikipedia

The license is valid for 1 year. you pay a small amount per License, I don't know how much you need to pay. It depends on your engagement with Solarwinds if they waive the fee or give you a discount.

I agree with adatole​ that you do not need an SLX as DEV/TEST, however I expect a different offer from a sales rep than 50% off list... a good sales rep would talk and walk you through the options and not smell another hot-shot-big-deal for a quick sale

Config wizard was a good idea, however it didn’t help in my customers environment. I opened a case to check in on the status of the internal bug tracking.

might that help here? OrionSDK/Samples/CSharp at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

I think you can’t write performance values into the database via the api. So I am almost confident that you can’t “combine” your existing Orion with your SP’s Orion. However you can pull data from your SPs Orion and display it “somehow”.

Yes from your description of your process, that should do the trick.

Here are the basic SQL guidelines SQL Server Configuration Best Practices if you really want to virtualize the database, have a blazing fast storage system for it, otherwise this will most likely be your bottleneck. When tuning SQL keep the following in mind: - each alert you set up is a SQL Query, use custom properties…

Downtime really depends how fast you can copy over the BAK files and restore them. Config wizard should be done in 10 Minutes depending on the Database size. sizing requirements also depend on multiple factors. - polling intervals - retention time - number of systems/nodes - number of monitors (application etc.) as for…

Llike mentioned earlier, I would do this in a separate task. When migrating Databases I usually do a Backup/Restore procedure. in your case: - stop all Orion related services on MPE/APE - back up your Orion Database(s) and make a snapshot of your current MPE/APE - take those DBs offline, so you know when something with the…

Is the installer now able to read the OS of the Database Server? The Orion Machines are Server 2016. would the DB OS really make the difference? while I wholeheartedly agree that the 2012 R2 Server should be upgraded to a newer version, the now scheduled upgrade should run through. I am not a big fan of doing multiple…

It should not cause any issue when the agent is already installed. I have to Check for asset inventory. Not sure about that at the moment.

How are the „server specific“ settings? Check the thread here: Reccommendations engine kept stopping [Solved]
