Great tips, I used Custom Properties to address issues to relevant recipients already for years. Other tips for 11.5 will check soon, thanks I'd add one simple tip for operators who are flooded with alerts quite often. Use sender address as alert class - example A_alert for alert alert needed action, AA_alert for higher…

I've used NTA together with NPM for years and never ever noticed benefits from coupled licenses. Maybe except of IT staff convenience ;-)

Totally agree. It is typicall situation when user submit ticket wrongly because of misunderstanding/misclassification aso. So it would be very useful to have an easy option to convert submission of that kind of ticket.

Maybe I missed something but I found one problem - it is not possible to add more than 1 action in 1 alert to change Custom Properties, If I need to change more than 1 value for specific Custom Property I have to use another alert for that action. The same if I want to change another Custom Property with the same…

I've suggested few times already that it would be fine if node details dashboard visualize obsolete disk with different icon than current and monitored.

Hi, would be good to know when you plan to release regular Orion Platform 2020.2?

Good idea - would be really nice to have that feature. However I'm not sure if it is possible using current logic of PerfStack functionality.

Why combination of custom property + limitation is not enough?

there is not the first vote for customization of Auditing Events. I suggest to make Auditing Event customizable because different costomers require different set of event to audit.

It would be nice as well to have timestamp as an option for all widgets, tables and customizable stuff etc. on any view.

Would be good if it become customizable - I mean menu bar frozen YES/NO. As well customizable |SUBMIT|CANCEL| buttons floating YES/NO.

... or just edit view and disable NOC vie mode

I like very much any idea to cut 'alarm noise' and keep nodes monitored

Managing Custom Properties is Administration role - not Node managing, I think.

I think this can be a good idea for some reasonable places like Message Center in NPM or few items on dashboards to make them sheerer (Events and Audit Events etc.)

Alerting process works on data from SQL server, not querring nodes or applications directly, so please consider testing simple query to SQL server and trigger alert if querry result comes delayed.

I agree but there are much more features to improve in Network Atlas yet. However I'm afraid that SW rather will not develop the product which belongs to an old software stuff. I think it's gonna vegetate until withdrawal in few years yet as happens to Report Writer (which opens with "deprecated product" warning in latest…

I'm old enough too and I agree that is good to share ideas, questions and doubts by drop voting. Voting shows what others think about question. If voting is significantly UP then Maybe SW guys should consider the idea for future improvements. If voting is DOWN then maybe the idea looked good for initiator only - not for…

And definitely Orion passwords should have option for rule to define according security policy.

There is request for Dark Theme Option in Orion Platform already: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/Orion-Dark-Theme-Option/idi-p/562408 so it will work for SEM as well I believe . Anyway I'm for it.

I'm for UP however Automatic Geolocation of all nodes doesn't make big sense for me. It makes more sense for groups of devices. But for me worldwide map is still rather gadget than something bringing new info on synthetic view.

Orion passwords need improvements of management - see also

Sounds really great but will it work for Cisco devices only?

I think that MIB should be upgraded manually when going up to recent NPM version and it should be customizable by users. NPM 12 has MIB weighing 1.7 GB. Probably most of SW customers would be satisfied with 0.5 GB MIB .... but with a MIB for their own, specific devices.

Interesting article about what robots can do in IT. AI is much more than IVR (which of course has some kind of AI behind) and will probably take most jobs of first line support soon. That is understandable because most users' problems are typical and easy to automate. Some of you probably remember 'IT crowd' series and…

That would be possibly useful but Network Atlas will be discontinued in the future (it will exist for years yet, I hope tp support old customers) and practically replaced by Orion Maps functionality. Next - NA and WorldMap have different sources of data to display. NA maps and groups and nodes (which may be displayed on WM…

Have you tried to configure alert on group and Mute Alert option?

Still actual request for defaults (my request from 2012): * default font and font size * default line style, thickness and color * default Graphic Image - not only led; as well default image for a specific machine type * default for child status - switch off or on * default background for labels

please remember about 3Com as well

I've requested just a different color of icon for volumes on rebuilt servers. It was long time ago 1-2 years but I see no improvement up to now. It is bit frustrating to see the same icon for volume which is doubled or tripled with different codes behind volume letter. If unused volumes exist with different icons then…
