Thanks. I'd done this part a while back and thought it was done, but since it used to be a primary poller it turned out there was still a website associated and SolarWinds was looking for it.

Thanks!

Update: SolarWinds Support set me up with a HotFix that solved the problem: http://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/HotFix/OrionPlatform-2014.2.1-HotFixQ4.zip

Were you ever able to find a way to do this?

Just letting you know (albeit a bit late), there's another post asking the same question:Custom Charts without Time column And it's also unanswered.

Scratch that; I located the answer to my own question. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-174729

Update: After a call with SolarWinds, it seems that the report writer doesn't play well with the F5. Turns out you have to bypass the login screen by creating an Orion local login called "DirectLink" and assigning it as the user to send out reports. See the following link for instructions on using the DirectLink account:…

I answered my own question by finding the samples page on GitHub and looking at the Groups one for reference. OrionSDK/Samples/PowerShell at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub Hope this helps someone else equally new to this stuff.

Update: It turns out my alternate poller is bad somehow. I thought I'd tested it out using each poller turned out to have tested it on the alternate twice. Switching it to the primary at least got it to a separate problem, which is certainly a step forward. Thanks for the help!

Bumping this again. Is this something that can be done?

Update: The solution was checking the "Run the script under specified account" box.

So who's all out there? Is it just Loop1 and Corona?

It won't be enough just to delete them. They come back next discovery. You have to painstakingly go into the discovery results, drill into the servers, and select to ignore them from future discoveries.

I ended up completing this with Orion SDK, using the loopback range after all and bulk adding the nodes in PowerShell.

I found out recently that you'll be able to do that in 11.5 (currently in beta).

Seconding what prawij​ said. I went so far as to create a custom property called "AlertGroup" that lets me name what team(s) get the alert, then I have the alerts look for a string in that field and, if found, email the corresponding team's DL. Another thing that helps with is letting me automate quarterly reports that…

I believe there already is one. It requires root to deploy, though, so depending on your admins you *may* be hanged or crucified for trying to deploy it.

Update: The format's changed since NPM 10.4 came out. See the following thread:
