You have to make each of those KPIs a different widget. Currently Modern dashboards KPI only allow you to have 1 link per widget. If you make a separate KPI widget for each of these you can use the link feature at the top of the widget configuration. That may take up a little more room on your dashboard.

A custom table widget can be used with any existing report. It will import any report configuration and display it.

SAM components in unknown status is a great alert not to be overlooked. Sometimes when changes happen in environments your templates will go into this state because they don't have correct permissions. That alert would capture that event as well. If you have anything going into unknown state, you aren't monitoring it.…

What modules do you have access to? Do you have VMAN or SAM? With VMAN you should be able to see resource problems on you hosts. VMAN also contains Recommendations, Datastore metrics and others that our clinets have found to be of use in scenarios like this. SAM could help you deploy possible HTTPS monitors to your web…

If you are on version 2020.2.6 I would recommend that you upgrade. Getting to 2022 versions and above can be a little bit of a chore. Let me know if you need any help getting there. CSV updates on custom properties doesn't take the "value must be specified" field into account. You should only have to select what fields…

In classic dashboards there is a widget called custom table. You can use a configured report to populate that.

You should be able to put 2 nodes, that have connections, on a map and there will be logical connections that show up if you are monitoring the topology and the topology MIBs/OIDs are available to SolarWinds. If you list resources on the nodes, you should be able to see if topology is selected. If topology isn't selected…

Unknown status typically means that SW is polling the OID/MIB but it isn't getting a response back from the device. Are your interfaces showing a similar status? Some devices allow you to set up a View (Think of it like an ACL on the MIB tree) on the MIBs. You should check the device's SNMP configuration and make sure that…

Have you tried a Right Join for the nodes table? That would keep rows that are in the nodes table but not in the NCM tables you are joining.

That is the thing about SWQL. The more you dig into it yourself the better you will be in the future. Let me know if you get stuck in this thread. I can help you though some of your sticking points. You are using SWQL studio (part of the SolarWinds SDK package) to develop right?

Yes it will need TCP 1433 direct access to the db.

The SWIS port isn't required from any SolarWinds platform server to the database. Just TCP 1433 and UDP 1434.

I believe that Windows Events is using the agents because Windows doesn't have an exporter that is native to the operating system to send them as syslog. Linux does have a way to do that. In order to get your log messages into SolarWinds Log Viewer, you will have to configure syslog to export to SolarWinds.

Ah I see where you are getting this now. I thought you were talking about a table widget. The problem you are seeing is there isn't anything to link to. KPI widgets don't create another dashboard for you based on your query. You could create individual KPI widgets for each node status. You would also have to create another…

What does your configuration look like for the name column? It should be something like this: The field that you are looking for is detailsurl according to the documentation on that article.

I would suggest to start with the Orion.AlertsActive table. Do you have a query started that we could start working with you on?

We do this kind of work for clients all the time. For starting from scratch, I would definitely have an understanding of Custom Properties (why, where, who. not necessarily the actual values to nodes), back up you alerts (they can be a good starting point since you are familiar with SW and capabilities), back up reports,…

Are you deploying an Additional Web Server (AWS)? Or are you talking about the web site that resides on the application server/Main Polling Engine (MPE)? Either way, you will need TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 open between any SolarWinds Platform server and the database server. As a best practice, you need to have a separate SQL…

There isn't a license change that needs to happen. When you truly migrate to a new machine, which isn't the case here, the license store usually is corrupted and you need to re-license. With retaining the hostname you should be good. Changing the IP address of the server shouldn't matter. The DB will be updated quickly…

 @"ImNishat" If you are having a hard time getting SWQL studio installed you need to download the SolarWinds SDK. That link will take you to the page, just download the .MSI

One of the main problems with inventory lists in the SolarWinds platform is that some data may not be in the database tables for the different vendors or even different models. Most of what you are looking for will be available in the report picker. However, I would plan on separating some things into different content…

Assuming above is in a trigger action, you could build a script that executes in the reset action. However you will need to tie some kind of identifier from one system to the other. For example, you could use the alert id field to be sent with the trigger on ticket creation. Then use the reset action to query Manage engine…
