Thanks for your answer Dodo. I think the way we're going to do the migration is a bit of a special case. Nonetheless, I did create a powershell script to do the group creating of permission configuration automatically utilizing the SWIS API

Remember to allow SWIS 17777 to the main server as well. Cheers

You should definitely check the ConfigurationWizard.log usually located at "C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\ConfigurationWizard.log" for any error messages

Hi Adam I implemented the resolution described in this article yesterday, and it does seem to have resolved the issue I was having : https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Polling-stopped-and-Next-Poll-in-the-past?language=en_US

Hi Brscott You're correct, this does in fact remediate the issue, but not long term. 

Hi Mark Thanks for your response. It does seem like it could be a symptom of overprovisioning of pollers, but I must admit that we've nothing else in our environment pointing to or suffering from overprovisioned polling engines. I'll keep this in mind, but will be pursuing other troubleshooting ways. Thanks 

Hi Vinay 1. Nodes are able to be pinged manually from the polling engine 2. I'll be trying to remediate the issue today using this article: Polling stopped and Next Poll in the past in the Web Console (site.com) . If it doesn't work, I'll be raising a case for Solarwinds.

Hi Adam ... Better late than never :) Thanks for your response. The nodes in question did have next poll in the past. I've found some articles detailing potential resolutions I will be trying later today. I'll keep the post updated. 

Hi t.m-k Even though I do not have a complete fix for this issue, I'm first of all relieved to not be the only one experiencing this issue. What I've done is, I've created a simple script running scheduled every hour from Jenkins that will detect issues with "broken" agents. Then move the agent to another polling engine.…

Did you make sure to install the agent with admin privileges and does the server have .NET 4.8 installed? This is pre-requisites

I definitely prefer WMI polling over the SolarWinds agent. As far as I know the SolarWinds agent is running with system privileges, with no way of modifying the permissions it's running with. With WMI you're in full control over which permissions a polling engine is having to your devices via the account being used. Also,…

Hi Brian Try this. Go to Manage Nodes make sure the drop-down is set to Interfaces instead of Nodes, now search for the node name of which you want to remove the interface from. 

Yes, for the longest time we have had issues with the agent failing after patching Windows Servers. The resolution can be different from time to time. Sometimes just restarting the service resolves the issue, sometimes changing the polling engine. In the most severe cases the agent has to be reinstalled on the monitored…

This is a very vague question, but we're having no issues utilizing the Solarwinds SWIS API from our Jenkins environment. github.com/.../About-SWIS

Interested in this as well. Bump

Definitely interested as well 

This has already been solved here: thwack.solarwinds.com/.../node-fortinet

We're in a situation where multiple schedules per node are needed. Backup for this request!

Hello I know this reply is 3 years late, but I'm still frustrated by this limitation. It makes no sense to me that Solarwinds want all this work creating variables, instead of giving their customers the power to do it. Would also make THWACK an even better knowledge sharing platform. 

Thanks, KMSigma! Exactly the answer I was looking for - and it was quick too! ...When life gives you bananas... wait what

Hello Tony. This is a great answer. Thanks for that! Would you by any chance know why it has been designed to hardcode the SELECT statement field? ... Seems like it could be a hurdle at times

Can you specify what you mean by 'availability'?

Would the table IP_Address in Orion.Nodes do the trick? Something simple like: SELECT IP_Address FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE Caption = '{HOSTNAME}'
