Below is some background information on the Orion Agent. * Windows Agent Blog Part 1 * Windows Agent Blog Part 2 * Windows Agent Blog Part 3 * Linux Agent Blog * Decide between agent vs. agentless polling methods when configuring SAM templates and application monitors * Feature availability based on monitoring methods —…

It's very possible to use PowerShell to install and configure SNMP on a Windows machine. More details at the link below. https://4sysops.com/archives/set-up-snmp-on-windows-server-2016/ Note that WMI is much more powerful on Windows then SNMP. This means you will have less information exposed on the endpoint and therefore…

That error is definitely permissions related https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/71b1bfe0-2587-47de-942a-4386b85bb1bf/remote-wmi-access-denied-error-0x80070005?forum=winserverManagement

Unless you're running dozens or even hundreds of reports a day or scheduling the report to run every few minutes, the increased CPU load to covert these charts to images is negligible and should only occur for a brief minute. If you find that it's impacting the performance of your system when reports are being run, then…

You will need to rephrase the question and be more specific with your ask, as I have answered this question broadly in the thread above. If there is a particular detail you are not understanding, please state clearly where you are having problems or what specific step is unclear. I'm happy to help, but simply restarting…

Import the following report https://thwack.solarwinds.com/content-exchange/the-orion-platform/m/reports/2128 Run the report and click 'Export to Excel'. Copy/paste those results to Sonar Discovery as shown in my previous response above. 

Access the following page on your Orion server. Replace {yourorionserver} with he IP, hostname, or FQDN of your Orion server. Also, ensure that the URL correctly reflects HTTP or https depending on which is used on your Orion server. https://{YourOrionServer}/Orion/Admin/MaintenanceRenewals.aspx There you will be able to…

Follow the steps outlined in the KB article below. I would recommend starting with resolution #2. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then also try resolution #3 https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Scheduled-chart-reports-show-as-loading?language=en_US Please also ensure that this isn't the cause.…

That is 100% correct. 

The simplest way of exporting devices out of one Orion instance and into another is to create a report containing only the IP addresses managed by Orion. Run the report and export the results as CSV. Then copy/paste that information into the Sonar Discovery Wizard of your other Orion instance. This will target only those…

Yes, extending the timeout value would be the logical first step.

You can download any version of Orion product modules you are entitled to while under maintenance from the Customer Portal https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/ If you are installing on a new server, then simply point the new installation to your restored database on the new SQL instance when the Configuration WIzard…

New version notifications occur in-product as seen below. Customers receive email notifications for new major releases, but these are not sent today for minor service releases. 

Yes, though it's less an upgrade than it is the installation of a second SQL instance on the same machine. 

Yes SQL 2014 is the latest version of MSSQL supported on Windows Server 2008 R2. www.itprotoday.com/.../migrating-sql-server-2014

The process is still the same. Each of these are a unique SQL instance, so you will still need to migrate the database, no different than if you were migrating to a server with a different name or IP. 

Migrating the Orion database from one SQL instance to another is outlined in the following KB article. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/content/migrate_the_solarwinds_orion_sql_database_to_a_new_server.htm

Instructions for migrating your database to a new SQL instance can be found in the KB article below. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/content/migrate_the_solarwinds_orion_sql_database_to_a_new_server.htm

Dependencies are tied to the unique IDs of entities for that specific instance. If you were to somehow export them from one instance into another, the dependencies would be mapped to different entities. My recommendation would be to create a report containing all dependency information and use that as a guide when…

This issue was resolved under CORE-1168 in the Orion Platform 2015.1SR2 release included with NPM 11.5.2 and later. Note that the version you are currently running was released in 2014. That is seven years of releases behind. I would strongly recommend upgrading your installation to one that is supported. 

Have you tried restarting the SolarWinds Information Service and waiting a few minutes? 

There is no requirement that the metric be the same across entities to be in the same chart as shown below. You can't however, mix chart types. For example, you can't add an area chart to a line chart. 

When editing your PerfStack project, select the metric you want and drag it to the chart you want that metric plotted in, or drop it into a new chart area. [View:https://www.screencast.com/t/IS8vtqfJmM0:320:50]

Can you clarify what you mean by data source? You can certainly add 10 series to a single chart as pictured below. [View:https://www.screencast.com/t/blFnRlo8fp:320:50]

Dynamic/Interactive column sorting and search are not yet features supported by the new modern table widget. Note that the modern dashboard framework is still very much in its infancy and does not yet have full feature parity with its classic dashboard counterparts. 

It's really a simple matter of what that API provider considers a reserved/illegal character and what facilities they provide for handling/escaping them within your code. 

I would also suggest simplifying the post to plain text ASCI characters A-Z and 0-9. It's possible that there's an illegal character, potentially as the result of a macro being passed, that contains an illegal character that's not being properly escaped in your post request. This (in theory) should be reproducible by…

Could there be an API throttle limit on that you're hitting. This is fairly common these days. The throttle could be based upon total number of concurrent sessions open to the API endpoint, or limited per-IP, or even the number of API requests per-second/min/hour from that IP. 

If the events are being generated on a Windows machine monitored by the Orion Agent, then the 2020.2 release of Log Analyzer with its flat-file monitoring could also be used
