We just create blank databases manually before running the installer then grant DBOwner rights only to the databases used by SolarWinds. As @AdamBeedel mentioned it's a better practive to use your own DB server. We would occasionally run in to issues when we were running a shared server. 

I'm upgrading to 2023.3 next Monday :)

Does this exist in 2023.3 as well?

Have you looked into view and alert limitations? If each you want each group to only see specific nodes and alerts that may help. We have one split instance. We put in AD Groups for Side A and Side B. You can assign anything you want to side A or B users. They can't see each others nodes or alerts due to view and alert…

Those settings set up when a disk is shown as yellow and status = Warning, or Red and status = Critical globally. If you are creating disk alerts you may want to match the global settings with whatever you use in your alert settings. Below is an example of one way you could set up your alert triggers. In general I…

That is a nice article @donrobert supplied. You may want to document what the current values are in the SQL DB for the tables they are asking to modify before your change window, just so you know what was there. Also make sure you have a backup of your database and VM's just in case. 

If you have any firewalls or access control lists anywhere remember to update those as well. Also can the new IP's reach all of the devices you monitor? If you are getting SNMP Traps or Syslogs you will need to repoint those devices to the new IP's. Any place you may have used the API to attach and run scripts would…

Got it working SELECT [AlertHistory].DisplayName AS [Alert Name], [AlertHistory].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.AlertID AS [Alert ID], [AlertHistory].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Severity AS Sev, COUNT( [AlertHistory].AlertHistoryID ) AS [Last 30 Days], CASE When AlertHistory.AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Severity…

Got it working SELECT [AlertHistory].DisplayName AS [Alert Name], [AlertHistory].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.AlertID AS [Alert ID], [AlertHistory].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Severity AS Sev, COUNT( [AlertHistory].AlertHistoryID ) AS [Last 30 Days], CASE When AlertHistory.AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Severity…

If you want to try it without the inner joins here is what I tried, still can't get the Case part going though SELECT [AlertHistory].DisplayName AS [Alert Name], [AlertHistory].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.AlertID AS [Alert ID], [AlertHistory].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Severity AS Sev, COUNT(…

Here are some variables for the alert message Alert - Fan status ${N=SwisEntity;M=Status;F=Status} on ${N=SwisEntity;M=FullyQualifiedName} Entity - ${N=SwisEntity;M=HardwareUnitDescription} Value - ${N=SwisEntity;M=UniqueName} ${N=Alerting;M=AlertTriggerTime;F=DateTime}. Object details here: ${N=SwisEntity;M=DetailsUrl}.

I received this as well. Not a good thing considering these are displayed in our NOC up on the big screens and it is covering up critical data they need to view live.

Here is an example using the Hardware Health Sensors. Another method could possibly be to set up a Syslog alert as most switches also send syslogs for fan failures as well. 

I ran across this twice now. It had nothing to do with a certificate, it was an incorrect account in one case and a locked out password in another. 

I updated our test system a week ago, no issues there yet. Updating production next week from 2023.1 to 2023.3.

I'm not sure how the maps get loaded, our system is completely blocked from the internet but our Worldmap says 2023 mapquest on it. Must be getting it on the browser side. Have you tried different browsers? 

I am running systems on 2022.1 and 2022.3 and Worldwide Map loads on both. Possibly try adding a new Worldmap Widget and see if the new one is blank as well? Your existing one could have been corrupted somehow?

You can modify the above query and it will show all applications SELECT NodeName, N.Applications.DisplayName FROM Orion.Nodes N --WHERE N.Applications.DisplayName like '%Application%' Where N.Applications.DisplayName IS NOT NULL Order by DisplayName ASC

I was asked to set up something similar and used the Solarwinds SQL Query Template. We had two data centers with one side of the cluster in each one. There were many databases inside each cluster, and many clusters. During normal operations both datacenters were 'hot' so the primary on the SQL cluster could be in either…

Take a look here, may be you missed a port? SolarWinds Port Requirements

More information is here Orion Node Statuses and Fast Polling Explained (solarwinds.com)

The lowest you can go is 10 seconds. You can access the settings by going to Edit Node. If you set it any lower than 10 you will receive an error. 

Running a powershell script and doing a capture on port 17777 and my IP using - trusted as my Powershell authentication type I am able to see the account being used to run the script in the packet decode. I would suggest setting up a capture filter on port 17777, exclude all of your polling engines in the filter and let it…

The last time I had to do this I used Wireshark. 

I use the Worldwide Map resource to do something similar. I simply put the WorldMap Latitude and Longitude coordinates custom properties in and then used Edit on WorldMap to set the zoomed in area we cover and a filter for Router Nodes only. It now shows each router as an icon with the status of the router.

Your looks like it is Grouped by IP Address

There are some groupings you can adjust under Edit, could these possibly have been removed? 

Thanks for mentioning this. I just schedule our upgrade to 2023.3 - three weeks out. Have not read all of the release notes yet.

If it is the Manage Nodes screen you are referring to click on this box to sort A-Z or Z-A
