I've got some options for you, and then there's script monitors Option 1) if you hit "$" in an empty URL bar you can see the list of available macros (@solarwinds folks - this needs an obvious button), stuff like lastsync is a date string for around now, I dont think it's particularly easy to beat that OOTB. I dont think…

This strikes me as a workable problem, but also something where the odds are you'd make a big hole in monitoring by accident If you are doing these at the point of alerting, i'd do 2) as a Node-level alert not an interface one, so that I could group together parent interfaces WHERE (Connection), at least first

Yes, not particularly native though A group of citrix admins I know have a big preference for a specific monitoring tool for this purpose, however you can monitor that with SW and ask the "Are my VDIs Alright?" question by api to maintain larger dashboards and that. If I were building it from scratch, first I'd go grab as…

I'm avoiding rewriting the query at the moment, but are you aware you can use this method? Manage nodes -> Order by NCM Licenced

I've got one which does SAN, but not issuer, you might need to edit some script for that last one

Should be fine If not fine, the class of problem would be "SolarWinds thinks there's a separate Main box" If you get that class of problem, the license can be reset with license manager, and the engines table can be purged of the old box. There's KBs on both. You shouldn't need that, but it's possible in the event of a bad…

In addition, it can be good to setup a keepalive thing in your ticketing system, like send a ticket that's auto-resolved every 5 minutes, and if it's not received send a P2 Also, there's some SAM packages OOTB for monitoring solarwinds, these are a great place to start

You should do this My deployment page works well, but it doesnt tell you if you're not looking It's a really healthy exercise to go through actually I recommend making a dash, putting your components on it, tracking stuff like: WMI port in use count Alerts per time Total active alerts Elements per poller unknown SAMs per…

What do you do with it once it's working if you dont mind me asking? Maybe, how do you use it?

Looks like this script ignores all vcenters. Did they mention why that's the fix? Seems like vcenters also get their vulns

Settings -> Security -> right hand column On first run had the same issue as above

As mesverrum said, but also, there are some supporting services, just not that. Also feel free to chuck a basic https monitor on there, doesnt hurt There's some templates for solarwinds components advertised or ootb already, worth having a look if you havnt already

Wanna also join the coverage tool project?

What vuln are you referring to?

You can but not sure you'd really want to, you'd have a hard time of it In network discovery I dont think you can in the api you can, but usually you want to trigger a list resources, and you cant coz offline it's possible to either add all as like base/to-be-populated-later objects, or to make some sort of template and…

You'd want to post this in the NPM forum really. If you're using SWQL or SQL you can see the Keys and link em up expanding any table If you're using SWQL you can use dot "." properties to navigate between auto-linked tables

I think the solution is basically this: Select all active alert configs sans custom SWQL/SQL * Select Scope * Select case when (Scope) then 1 else 0 Repeat above for every config Built table of the above Build UI element for the above Where asterisked, curious if you have much use of these, and for the asterisk on scope I…

I think you're using alert message as alert name? Cant use a macro on a name really I get the name from the alerconfigurations table I think

I would probably just pull it off with a script, the report method Marc mentioned is good too, you could also do an alert enabled once a year or something, but I imagine it would be rude for anyone with a big estate without at least some fancy DISTINCT stuff on it, at which point you're basically back to a report or a…

Big question! May come back to this later. Short stuff I'd consider would be a bit less technical and a bit more organizational Understand their name format and IP structure asap, figure how that impacts dynamic queries or whatever you've got in your env at the moment Find their data sources Get connected nicely to their…

It dont exist I've pitched it to solarwinds I may make it later in the year. If you wanted to work on it with me reach out

If this doesnt work, either there's some big misunderstanding or an issue with your environment

Manage nodes -> select whatever you want -> more actions -> change polling engine

Get SWQL studio working, trying to work this any other way will lead to confusion you'll get error messages and in-line autocomplete and error detection

If they're not copyable (ie, you had a copy on engine X and Y, redid X, and Y survived), then you might be able to get away with changing some engine IDs in the DB, SLW support might be able to help with that. If it's a brand new box with a brand new agent on it though the new one might not locally be aware of what it…

Do you have SWQL studio installed yet? If not, start there

I've wrote my share of slides but I don't think I have this one

BIG JUMP 2024.2.1 seems pretty good so far LOADS of stuff changes between those versions, you will 100% have followup to do somewhere

A colleague of mine solved this problem but they've got home for the day. I took a swing through the "Ancestor.." property but might have got a bit misled Are the site groups root level? I'm surprised they wouldnt be under a parent like "site groups", if so you could use the containermembership to resolve
