It really couldn't be much more simple.…

  • We had (kind of) a similar request. Instead of a node turning yellow, we wanted ours to turn red. We found the icons we wanted and simply renamed them to change the color of the icons when things went up and down. I believe we changed them on the Solarwinds server at C:\program files\SolarWinds\Network Performance Monitor…

  • We could really use UPS devices. Mostly APC. We want to collect when the APC takes over, low batteries, power load alerts, any other alerts) Tape arrays (Dell PowerVault, Quantam, HP Storageworks). We want to gather all alerts.
