There is a possibility to filter those outputs with RegEx and just give you the Output as a result when it matches your search Filter the results of an executed script (in your case NOT matches the search)

The Verb you are looking for is Set-SwisObject It might look like this then foreach($Entry in $query){ ## Create CustomPropertiesURI ## $CustomPropsUri = $entry+'/CustomProperties'; ##Set CustomPropertyBag $CustomPropstoUpdate = @{ Environment = "QA"; } ## Update the Custom Properties Set-SwisObject $swis $CustomPropsUri…

You could also use the Powershell Monitor of Solarwinds and utilize the Veritas BE-CLI. Actually I am in the middle of trying to accomplish that, however I am mostly onsite at customer's lately. If you want you could add me to your profile, you will get notified once I upload my SAM Template for Veritas BackupExec

Just like superfly99​ mentioned, the easiest way is to sign up for an Email to SMS service. However, when your Email isn’t working you won’t get notified. Some of my customers use SMS appliances like www.smseagle.eu or others. if you are really keen on Scripting, you could try to send SMS via a plugged in 3G/4G Hardware…

Watch Out: keep a close eye on the dbo.engines Table in the Solarwinds Database. When you Reinstall it might be that the EngineID of your APE will be "duplicated" and some of your Nodes might then "hang in the wild" with a wrong EngineID associated to them in the dbo.Nodes View. Other than that: reinstall Operating System…

and for your virtual guest-machines, you do can't to enable vmware-polling. you need to poll those via Agent/WMI/SNMP/...

did you specify "root"-Credentials for the ESXi Servers? you usually need "local" Accounts on the ESXi while having Domain Accounts on VCenter

I am doing a similar thing but with more than unmanaging. you could check if the node is in solarwinds by simply looking up the IP you are trying to unmanage and if that fails you can skip the node because it is not there Maybe you could show an example of your "nodes-to-unmanage.txt" file

Is it a new installation or an update of an existing install? I belive once you installed it on the C:\ drive you need to update it there. If you want to change you need to uninstall everything and reinstall. or maybe I get your question wrong....

There is an option in the device template where you specify the enable command. In here you just specify if you need some command to issue before taking the config or if you just issue a command right after logging in to get the config. i hope I am not too confusing here

As far as I know the IP of the Polling Engine is in the Database in the dbo.Engines table.It might revert to the other IP when you restart the Services, I think it Checks the DNS and uses the IP the DNS Server sends back. Check Step 9 in this document: How to move nodes to a new polling engine - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC.…

Is this a APE installation? How is the network connection to your MPE? There has been a discussion about low bandwidth installations for APEs/HAs. I will try to find it and if I find it, post it here.

Hi, when you have VMAN licensed, I would always go with the Appliance! The benefits outweigh the additional work with the appliance. As the previous poster already mentioned, you can add multiple vcenters to a VMAN appliance.

could you share a screenshot, I actually don't quite get your question. sometimes I have to "see" the issue

For those things I put the Nodes into "Maintenance" I tell the Node Owner: "I will give you X days to fix it then it will come up as down again and you will be in trouble with SLA Reporting". The scheduling utility is great for that.

The functionality in NCM you are looking for are "Config Change Templates" a documentation can be found here: The basics of NCM config change templates First, you would need to run an Inventory Job on your devices to gather all the info needed for the template (Interfaces/VLANs etc.) after your inventory is updated, try…

If you want to have a full blown license...go open your big wallet. if you are OK with VERY limited licensing, you can check with your sales rep and see if you are eligible for NFR Licenses Re: Solarwinds Lab Environment Re: Testing Enviroment License https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1145#start=100

Also it might be good to know what you are trying to accomplish, this might make it easier to point you to the right direction

There is a lot of information on github: SolarWinds · GitHub

For the alerting part...turn off all alerts until you baselined your environment. Trust me, you will never get your staff to look at the emails again if they’re flooded with useless information to begin with. once you have your metrics and thresholds ready, start with easy alerts like “Node down” use the out of box alerts…

Do you have any indicator which interfaces need to be monitored and which don’t need to be monitored? how did you get the nodes into Orion? Did you do a discovery? what settings did you use for the discovery?

I found some syslog capabilities on my SPA504G, maybe you can configure the devices to send Syslogs to the Orion Server and put alerts on those. I didn't find any SNMP function on my phone...maybe the "top-series" has SNMP...

I have found this here SNMP Proxy Forwarder — SNMP Proxy Forwarder 0.4.1 documentation I haven’t tested this, however it might be worth a try.

I agree with donrobert5​ this can be monitored via NTA

Q1: As long as the Database is SQL2016 you are good to go for now. SQL Server OS is not that big of a concern. keep in mind, that you eventually need to upgrade that as well. But moving the Database is no big deal. I am personally not a fan of in place upgrades, but I have done those as well. Q2: there are some documents…

Working from home can be relaxing

When monitoring clustered resources I refer to them as “the holy trinity” of Nodes - virtual IP - direct IP of Node 1 - direct IP of Node 2 the VIP is usually added manually and functions as a dummy Node where you attach your SAM templates to. so you add the Services/Application Templates to the VIP you monitor your basic…

I would use Network discovery when you want to do it by web GUI. Seems the easiest way at the moment.

Had a similar issue at a client, they found this: Verify that RabbitMQ is not disabled. * Go to <OrionServerName>/Orion/Admin/AdvancedConfiguration/Global.aspx * On the Global tab, search for PubSubOverMessageBusEnabled and make sure the check box is selected. Click to select it, if necessary. Save your changes. * Restart…

When you run the configuration wizard, there is a checkbox where you can enable SSL for DB Connection. hope that helps
