Nice find

What options were you looking for?

There's an event you can use to figure out name changes. Literally says something like "Caption for NodeID4 changed from 'x' to 'y'", those only last as long as your event retention does though. Not sure what the best way to verify stuff would be otherwise, I guess that's pretty specific to your environment/history

I'm pretty curious about what solution you used

Probably not the best forum for this question, maybe the NCM forum or the API forum Which pass are you referring to? - If it's the pass set in solarwinds to access the device with NCM, there's an API for credential updates, you'd update where credential URI = whatever you're targeting - If it's some pass set on the device…

Also, very curious about the IIS virtual directory bit, thats a skills hole for me

Cool workaround. Could you give an example of the text? eg: " haystackhaystackhaystackNEEDLEhaystackhaystackhaystack If needle in haystack then bad, else good. " If so, a powershell or equivalent script to make the API call and reduce it down to a statistic/message pair is fine, If you want to use the API pollers feature,…

I think you're looking for Settings -> CTRL+F "menu bars" -> Edit one you use -> CTRL+F "Add" -> paste in a url, drag to the menu bar

It was a requirement for the last couple job specs my place sent out

I think this can just be a case statement. Could perhaps do a with a WHERE NOT IN (Subquery witht he 3 conditions) or an equivalent join

Breaking ground!

Might be worth experimenting with something like AHK for the different paste methods, and maybe making a extra hotkey for pastemethod#2. I've still not really experienced what you're describing I think, paste into and out of SWQL studio fairly commonly, not sure what'd be different. I also wonder if it changes between…

No idea what that is

Whats the script? looks like broke creds

This is a confirmed bug, fix in the next patch

I dont think you need to do much, but if you have better topology information it should work better. (L2/L3 routing, virtualization data, groups, dependencies) There's some secret sauce under the hood but I think the base algorithm is around grouping and creating an ID for alert sets that start at similar times for kit…

Should probably add this in the feature request bit You can probably get the data in the DB from using alternate DNSnames/IPs in order to produce seperate nodes, then stitch their data together. If the device doesnt have any alternate name/IP you can place something in DNS or in HOSTS etc

Cant say I'd noticed it really! By cut buffer I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm imagining a vscode style bulk selection by indent?

Import can kinda serve as a creation function, Mesverrum has done some great work on the topic. Still on my to-research list personally though

Post again if struggling, there are resources for this sort of thing around but it's always faster to answer than to fully write the script or find a good example

There are simpleish ways to achieve what you want, just bear in mind that different solutions will bear different fruit I suppose.

Download SWQL studio and have a poke around, if you're querying this stuff historically you need to get your heard around the Weight value and Window functions. Weight is like ~how much time is this timestamp worth and Window Functions are like ~Create buckets for each Hour/Day/whatever (and do math to stuff on the way…

You could literally just monitor memory, memory per process would be better, but in general a memory leak looks like a line that does up and to the right on a fairly straight line, until someone resets it. Can be a sawtooth pattern. /|/|/| There is probably a "stable config" between the in-page refresh and the out-of-page…

Aah you've entered into a bit of the tool which is doable, but hard to think about. I have lots of stuff in this place which has been an open question in my head for a long time. There's a very very cool post in here on "Alerting on volume growth" by @"Seashore" which is in this space i've never fully digested but have…

Thats a fun one, probably a bug worth running through support. I've not seen this myself. If you've got steps to replicate it that tends to be handy for all involved, though I find sometimes it's hard to replicate reliably

There's some reg keys you can interrogate, I think that tends to be the way it's done. Not sure how you'd do it in NPM alone, SAM or SCP would be easier. Cant say i've got a package handy.

You can definitely do this with SAM, depending on what the objects are it may not be easy. I dont think there's anything good in WPM for this, but you could potentially do some weird stuff like: Lets say there's a webpage with 6 circles in fixed positions, when an object isn't showing it's blank space but the other circles…

Yeah probably. I saw this one the day it was posted and though "Eeh, had stuff that moved a little bit, but not like that" I think the motion doesnt really matter, if they're offline for a bit there's maybe benefit for an agent and you've got to worry about nulls more If the routing changed as it moved and that was…

Worth discussing the "api call" bit and the "SWQL query" bit separately. They can go together, but can also exist on their own. Something like SELECT Caption , IP_ADDRESS , CF_A , CF_B FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE deviceType like deviceType AND CF_A like 'something' AND CF_B like 'somethingelsemaybe' Would be the SWQL bit based…

You are officially in the "something really weird happened" space
