Syslog may be a better alternative here. That, or execute scripts using Server & Application Monitor and utilize the optional message field. 

Update for those of you tracking this issue yourself or have a case open that is referencing CORE-17163. I confirmed with engineering that this was an intentional change introduced in the 2020.2.5 release to address a potential security vulnerability. Essentially, this is a simple matter of trust and how much you trust…

Have you opened a case with support? If so, what is your case number? 

Correct. You would need to host that code on a web server (even the local Orion server's IIS) and reference it within an iFrame using the Custom HTML widget. 

Orion uses the SQL Native OLE Client to connect to the database. 

The error is simply stating that index defragmentation took longer to complete than the timeout value. By default, this is 3600 seconds or 1 hour. Depending upon the number of things monitored and your retention settings, one hour is not very long. To adjust the timeout value for index defragmentation, see the following KB…

Is your second machine running Windows? If so, it sounds like the Agent is awaiting a reboot of the server to finish the install/upgrade of the .NET Framework. The Agent itself is written in C++, but many of the Orion plugins are written in C# and therefore require the .NET Framework to be installed before certain jobs…

If you're the Admin of the Orion system you can add the map as a widget to any dashboard. Those users who have access to that dashboard can then access the full-screen version of that map. Alternatively, when viewing the map outside the editor you will find a 'share' button. When clicked, it will copy that maps shareable…

This error is typically caused when a monitored volume unusual values resulting in absurd allocation percentages well over 16M%.

The symptom was routing neighbor status showed as not available even though it is connected for certain IPs. This was broken with a change introduced in the NPM 2019.4 release. If the HEX string format of the polled neighbor IP address did not contain characters A-F, then it was converted to the wrong IP address. 

While I don't believe the 169.x.x.x address is related to the issues you describe installing Agent related plugins, it certainly can't hurt to try changing it. This typically occurs when there are two or more network interfaces in the machine, one of which is unused but is ordered higher (or lower depending upon…

It doesn't look as though you are specifying the PEM format with the '-m PEM' switch. 

Still no joy with 2020.2.5 Results in 

As a general rule, script tags are not allowed. This means no javascript can be used within a Custom HTML resource due to the potential for security vulnerabilities this would allow. 

That is an internal tracking ID. Support may be able to provide some insight into the status if you have an open case related to this issue. I included it here primarily so that other PMs and engineers, or support reps who may be following this thread, now or in the future, are aware that this issue is already tracked. It…

I have confirmed this is not working in my lab environment also. I've logged this as a bug internally and am tracking it under CORE-17163

Does your HTML code contain script tags by chance? 

From my own testing of 2020.2.5, it seems the creation/addition of the Group in Orion is Audited successfully, but modifications to those group permissions are not. I have logged this internally under CORE-17147

Was the change was made from within Orion? Have you have configured auditing for group membership changes in windows and are using either the Windows Event Log Forwarder or Log Manager to collect those events? What are your retention settings for Syslog and other Log data in Orion? 

I would recommend starting with the 'standby' HA member. 1. Break the High Availability Pool 2. Shutdown the 'passive' member 3. Install a new HA backup on a new VM and join it to the Pool 4. Failover to the new server 5 Repeat the process for the other member of the pool. This process should provide minimal downtime with…

Microsoft has made In-place upgrades much more reliable than the days of Windows 95/98. I've seen them become a more popular option for physical servers in need of an OS update to remain in compliance, but otherwise no significant changes. If this is a VM, you may want to consider a zero-downtime migration as another…

This report is easily done in reporting with the following custom SWQL query for the report. SELECT d.Name, p.DisplayName as ParentName, p.StatusLED AS ParentStatus, c.DisplayName AS ChildName, c.StatusLED AS ChildStatus FROM Orion.Dependencies d JOIN System.ManagedEntity p ON p.Uri = d.ParentUri JOIN System.ManagedEntity…

Unfortunately, this is the error returned to us from the operating system. This is not an error generated by Orion. stackoverflow.com/.../login-failed-for-user-domain-machinename

SQL writes everything that is contained within the error log to the Windows Event Log. That is where I would recommend monitoring for those events. 'How' would be using theWindows Event Log Monitor' in Server & Application Monitor. This allows you to target specific severities, include or exclude a list of EventIDs, etc.…

We just so happen to offer a free tool that does just this very thing! https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/snmp-enabler-for-windows

Absolutely! Simply ensure that process or service is monitored by SAM and then add the appropriate collected metrics (CPU, Memory, etc.) for the process to your PerfStack project.
