Are you with SolarWinds Corporation? Any direct involvement on customer product experience?

There is an open internal case that covers the list. Development case OO-64186

Thanks. I missed this. I was on vacation for the announcement. Will be interesting to see what the changes bring.

This is a known issue. With limited details provided I would start with the two articles. Configuration wizard fails with "SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified" causing Certificate Management Service (CMS) not starting Main Poller and Scalability Engines are Down After Upgrade to…

This was allowed starting in version 2026.2 SolarWinds Platform 2026.2 release notes Added support for group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) for authentication between the SolarWinds Platform and the SQL Server. This reduces reliance on manual service accounts and passwords. Customers can switch to gMSA authentication in…

The two companies are still not playing nice. But SolarWinds has been introducing gSMA accounts.

We opened a case with both SolarWinds and CyberArk on this. Neither side has any pending roadmap to allow integrations.

In future releases, replacing classic dashboards with modern dashboards should not remove functionality found on the classic dashboard. The functionality removed on current classic to modern dashboards should be restored.

When will the next update be to this. 2026.1 introduced many new features and changes.

I have a large environment, if you are having query issues, it probably isn't on the SQL database unless the SQL server was built incorrectly. Check out SWIS queries used on dashboards or in alerts. If they are complicated or too many joins, the app will have performance issues not related to SQL database. If you are…

Run the installer from an Administrative Powershell prompt. Sometime SW installers have issues executing with the correct permissions.

The amount of time to repair SolarWinds installations. The constant need to run repair and/or config wizard for certificate renewals, DB user pw change, and other random scenarios as first choice to fix an issue. Lack of SolarWinds Agent support. Things like mass deploy, better HA recognition, discovery with agent…

2026.1 RC known issue:- Additional web console and additional polling engines are unavailable, and the Orion Module Engine service repeatedly stops https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Additional-WebSite-and-Additional-Polling-Engines-are-Down-After-Upgrade-to-2026-1-Due-to-Missing-Port-17734 -…

The partners and integrators are the ones that will work with you in acquiring a license without necessarily caring if you are a big customer.

I would leave the retention at recommended levels. SWQL doesn't have the power to parse that much data. That is why it limits. You can do a query using the SWIS API and pull the data to an external source weekly or whatever time period you like.

Look at the SolarWinds reseller and integrator list. They probably would work with you. SolarWinds Partners | SolarWinds

Take one of the live prep studying classes. It gave me the best insight into the test and the SW viewpoint of the questions. Sometimes the questions/answers may not align with real life. Similar to MS testing.

It is a recent SW feature that still needs to include some of the unsupported features before we would switch to it.

Yes, things will work just no upgrades or support. I used an expired environment for data reference while building a new one. This applies to core components. Add-on license functions will stop like WPM, DPA, and SRM.

You can use 'account_limitations' for limiting permissions on what dashboards can be edited. If the user account editing doesn't have correct permissions, they won't be able add certain widgets but can do any widgets not requiring administrative access. Complicated queries should be avoided. Make sure user permissions and…

Some of the restrictions on WMI are due to Microsoft. I would be interested in what you find out in your testing of the non-Admin WMI. SolarWinds doesn't know the permissions on the account just if it works. I currently use agents, because the lack of SolarWinds to use rotating passwords for accounts. Depending on…

Are you on a current version of SolarWinds? The Upper Left logo may have to be re-uploaded from the Web console page.

We create unique dashboards for teams (Server, Network, Application) The filters then work for them to set views on what they want to see or quickly see where the problem nodes are.

We are still investigating. It is looking like the application is being extra sensitive to Virtual Machine configurations. The VM needs to have on demand resources to ramp up CPU and memory usage as necessary. We are also looking at things like VM snapshots, vmotion, and data backups interrupting communication to the SW…

It isn't resolved in a release yet. I'm still working with support. Different customers are having slightly different HA experiences across 2025.X.X versions and SW support hasn't been able to pinpoint the root cause.

I stopped upgrading right away to new SolarWinds releases years ago. Have to wait to see how bugs are identified in a release before upgrading.

Case #:02040065

I have an open case on this and a cause hasn't been found

Ok. Interesting it's not there. I would just create a custom menu bar for user/group that needs it and add it their assigned menu bar and delete the Security Menu.
