17 years…. Soon getting warmed up @KMSigma.SWI Seems I had 23 year anniversary just recently…

Tested now in NPM 12 and it does work if you add a variable with the whole email address, but it you want to have some more logic (that could be used instead of Alert central that is not used), like a SQL variable or "${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomProperties.Team}@company.net", then we get a validation error. So more freedom in…

Congrats everyone and welcome all new MVP's!

If Modern dashboard is eventually going to replace the classic views I expect to see, as with the classic, several prebuilt widgets as well as the current fully customizable. I think that is one of the big benefits of Orion, you get so many things prepared for you so it's easy to start but you also have full freedom om…

Like the new index advisor. Does it also advise on indexes that should be REMOVED or is that something for the table advisor page?

Done and thanks, important questions I think. Liked the idea of alert central even though that one was only a good start. 

Bump, got the same thing on two nexus switches. They go grey at the same time and then up, several times a day.

"This is the session I’ve been waiting for; looking for guidance on how to make DPA Dashboard data available within SWI Orion Dashboard." I wrote this some time ago, might help you: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/DPA-Discussions/How-to-get-DPA-quot-overview-table-quot-in-Orion/m-p/601685 

Hi Great! Would also like to able to set "our default image for a specific machine type". For example, if I add a Cisco 2960 to the new Network Atlas map the specified graphic would be applied. /Thomas

Something we always (I hope) think about at work is dividing network traffic in several VLAN's and WLAN's. So less secure devices and traffic don't mix up with our most important stuff. But how many thinks about that at home? And at home we have to many cheep things, IOT, that to seldom gets updated. I created separate…

I'll add some thoughts here regarding the links. * Would be nice to be able to bend the lines as we could in Atlas. * Would be nice to be able to turn of the link labels. In some cases with a lot of links it gets to crowded. Maybe show the labels upon hoovering or when in distress. 

My issue is that only MY phone loses connection all the time, ONLY at home....

I'll be there!

Oh I do think you need that too, but as for so many other values there should be a way to change the default setting.

Hi @"jvb", love the new feature ... at most customers. But if a customer using VMAN has "misused" the tags in vmware so there are SO MANY tags imported into Orion, it gets very cluttered and the new "manage custom properties" gets very slow then. Could there be a way of turning this feature on or off please. In some places…

IF you have the SAM module and are using Asset Inventory you will get those columns. Check out: select hostname, SystemName, Domain, DNSName from [AssetInventory_ServerInformation] Of coarse that only work for nodes with asset inventory, would be nice to have [domain] in the nodesdata table also/instead

I'll be there!! Don't want to miss [tag:THWACKcamp]

A google-like search would be nice. Make it fast and easy to work with. No dropdown lists i think. search for "switch01" returns all nodes/interfaces/apps/etc containing "switch01" search for "node:switch01" just returns node containing "switch01" search for "app:sql" returns all applications conaining "sql" etc. This…

Agree! Limitations only affects "nodeid's" and other things not related to a nodeid is shown. Should be the other way. If something is NOT allowed by the limitation is should NOT be seen.

Already registered! Looking forward to it, good luck! 

You already can! Log into the Orion server, there you have a tool called "Unmanage Scheduling Utility" that does what you want.

Even more interesting now with the possibility to do all installation from web gui. To be able to pre-download all installation files, both to core server and APE and AWS, would really save time and help minimize service window.

Same here!

Yes, they have to be monitored.

Was also about to post about this. Very anoying to have "red" SQL all the time due small and fragmented indexes. Maybe we can have in the listbox a columna saying how many pages the indexes are. That way the percentage actually mean somthing. Filtering as statet above is also very importent.

Ok, my bad. Some of it works, not the variables I used. Working on a group-page and {groupname} did not work but {caption} worked. But they don't work on userlinks at all. I'm fine with custom html though. The hard part here is knowing what variables works where, but i think there is another case on that.

I work 50% with Solarwinds Orion and 50% as a MS SQL DBA. I think you have read my mind because this looks just like the thing i wanted in Orion. A way of monitoring SQL on a level that only the SQL-specific monitoring tools have been able to do. I want to try it out now! Great work!

Agree, having used Orion for many years at some customers has led to a lot of old tables not being used anymore. 

Congrats to all old and new MVPs!
