When you monitor a server, you point orion to that servers ip-address. You can install an agent there or monitor with WMI. In a cluster, you point orion to the virtual IP-address of the cluster, or the SQL instance in this case. You can not know on what node the cluster is active at a given time. Therefor you can't know…

Tried it out a bit, fantastic possibilities, but also a few things that can be improved to next version. * No maps widget - now that maps is so nice * Seems I can't link a new dashboard to a users start page. Guess I have to use an classic page with html-code to do a redirect * No NOC-functionality - rolling pages * Don't…

"to make volumes a full-fledged citizen of Orion by adding a Management resource to the Volume Details view" - love that one!!

Some feedback from my upgrade: Ran the script to upgrade administration service, ran smooth. Back to the upgraded web page for upgrading orion: The first page, "Welcome page", after both "Make a plan" and "Pre-stage files" could be clearer that this is not the actual upgrade, just the plane/pre-stage. But technically they…

Depends on what you mean by "solarwinds functions". If you mean "the account used for polling servers with wmi", yes that is the easiest but not required. That account need to be local admin on all polled server, domain admin is. Otherwise, please tell us more what you want the account to do.

If you type in "www.solarwinds.com" it will also be wrong, you have to use "https://www.solarwinds.com". So probably you have to use "file://[path to your file]", tested a bit but I don't get the syntax correct. I'll test some more....

Another "great" (?) question, how old versions can be upgraded with the "new enhanced" administration service? 

Nice! Especially the last part: upgrading the administration service. Will this be made available for offline installations as well? 

So many nice new features, so little time.... Where to start? Thanks Solarwinds! 

You can do it in SWQL or in SQL, or just use the "Time of day" feature

@"jblankjblank" Ahhh, yes. And with all the new features where we can change the node image and labels this could be done nicely. Got to test..... .... ok Now I have tested - Works great! Add an image an create a custom link with the edge router and wan interface on both sides but traffic in opposite directions. Thanks!!

Hi all Got the same issue today, Migrated a customers db from a demo-installed server with local SQL express to a fully licensed installation with the db on a proper SQL server. All Orion services was depending on the SQL express, even after full config wizard and reboot of server. So, had to write a script to change that…

Hi, one question or feature request depending on the answer. We all have an internet connection, how do we visualize that? How do we get that link on the map? Ex I have my "Internet router" (or wan router) and after that there are things that I don't have control of, can't monitor - therefor no link. I tried to create a…

The first "polling intervall" at about 120 seconds is only checking that the element is UP or DOWN. The second part, "Polling statistics intervall" at about 10 min is statistics like CPU usage, volume usage etc.

Would be nice just to be able to buy anything... Not allowed to since I live in sweden....

Hi First, is the script working outside Orion? Next, turn on debugging in the SAM-template and check the loggs on the Polling Engine assigned to the node, see logs at C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\APM\ApplicationLogs Hope this helps!

Hi I guess you get the error during config wizard. Check the log file for more info: c:\program data\solarwinds\logs\orion\configwizard.log

Hi I tried your code in my environment and it ran fine. Result in half a second. This SQL table is about 2,5 million rows (dbo.APM_WindowsEvent_Detail). There is no index on EventCode in SQL so if you have many rows it might take a while. But, I made one change. The eventCode is an integer and should not be in '', so…

Hi First, you are not trying to set up alerts, you are trying to monitor the firewalls. When that is done you can create alerts. But @"neomatrix1217" is right, try to follow the guide. Monitoring a firewall is no different to monitor a switch when it comes to snmp. I suggest you first try to ping the device from the orion…

Thanks, nice. Had to change the path to the images though: ('/Orion/Wireless/images/thin_'

Works! Thanks!

Hi I have used this solution for several years and it works well but it annoys me that we have to wait 7 days (i think) until we have values in the VolumesForecastCapacity table. So I thought that this must be something I can solve with some SQL :-). I thought that if the volume is new I will alert if it has used more than…

Looking at the code in the file ping.aspx i see: byte[] data = new byte[5000]; So it's pinging with 5000 bytes, not 5000 kb. When it does not work, what do you get then?

The ping will run on the web server, does it work from there?

Nice tool! 1. Copied the pages in the zip file 2. Change "/inetpub/SolarWinds/PrecompiledApp.config" file as follows: (Copied from Prosperon) Before: <precompiledApp version="2" updatable="false"/> After: <precompiledApp version="2" updatable="true"/> 3. On the node page I added a Custom HTML component with this code: <a…

No, no progress at all. Did this several years ago with no result. Just took a look at it again now when waiting for ThwackCamp :-)

Same here, getting no points at all....

I'll show you all one example of my findings regarding SQL variables. In below example I wanted to list all nodes that was depening on the down node. Adjust your query to your need. ${SQL: SELECT N.Caption+', ' FROM Nodesdata N Inner join Dependencies D on N.nodeid=D.ChildNetObjectID WHERE…

Had this issue also. In the web log I found: Message: Exception of type 'SolarWinds.ApiProxyFactory.TransientApiProxyException' was thrown. Message: There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://xxxserver01.domain.internal:17777/orion/core/businesslayer that could accept the message. On the Additional Polling engines…

Hi Did you get any further on this one? Have the same issue but with like a few thousand sites....
