I took Deploying SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability a few months back. I think the instructors name was Sheryl. She was real good, walked through the entire deployment process and explained everything along the way. Since it was 'in person' you had the ability to interact if you had any questions. Was definitely worth…

Click on the Plus sign and add another rule. Chose interface then the next box should have something like name, caption, or description available. Select one of those and then put Contains and then whatever matching name you wish in the rightmost box. I couldn't tell from the screenshot which ports you were trying to…

URLs for Firewall Whitelisting for Orion Platform (solarwinds.com) SolarWinds Port Requirements 

I have taken many and not had any cancellations. Maybe they should record the next one so it is available 'on demand' ?

We use an alert to save deleted nodes info to a .csv file on a shared drive. In addition, we run a report nightly that writes a .csv file out to the same shared drive that has our complete inventory including all custom properties. Because both files are there we can go back a retrieve all the information about a node even…

Internet access in not a requirement. You can use the offline installers as well as the offline license manager without the need for an external connection.

There is an example here: add node using powershell - Orion SDK - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

If you want to take a look at it there is an online demo available here: SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Demo Login | SolarWinds Demo

I would like to participate

NPM is the base software and SAM runs on top of it, so NPM provides all of the polling for SNMP/WMI/Agent monitoring as well as alerting, reporting, etc. SAM provides additional features such as monitoring services, synthetic transactions, websites, SSL certs etc. Some of the metrics NPM collects would be disk, cpu,…

You can set up an alert specifically for this. Set your trigger to something like this, you can filter it further to a specific event if needed. The set and action to send an email.

Another reason to check out the posts on Thwack :) Followed @"sum_giais" link and found a few misconfigured nodes.

Try this for your Where in the above query, may get what you need.WHERE ActionTypeID LIKE 'EMAIL' AND CategoryType LIKE 'Trigger' AND a.Properties.PropertyValue LIKE '%KB%'

Give this one a try, you may try commenting out the --Where and seeing what you get then modifying it to your needs. SELECT ac.Name, ac.Description, Title,ac.ObjectType, aa.CategoryType, a.ActionTypeID, a.Description, a.Properties.PropertyValue FROM Orion.AlertConfigurations ac join Orion.ActionsAssignments aa on…

I haven't found a way to change the name on an existing one. I just created a new credential with a new name, even if it is using the same user and password and apply the new one to all of the nodes/reports/alerts then delete the old one. That is also the same process used every time I rotate the passwords.

You have control over some of the messages displayed in that field. For example in Event viewer is if you filter by You have the ability to control what is displayed in the event field as shown below. 

What @Marlief22 is saying is that the same item can have multiple variables available for it. For example IP Address can use any of these (and probably more) depending on what you are alerting on. Solarwinds Variables: IP= ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.IP_Address} for an interface alert, AppInsite IIS IP=…

Why don't you simply remove the nodes from your main poller and assign them to other polling engines? In your Manage Nodes screen under More Actions the action Change Polling Engine is available. Simply select the nodes and move them to another engine. We don't leave any of our nodes long term on our primary polling…

There is a way to do it, but you need to be very specific to what you filter an select. On your Manage Nodes menu select Show: Interfaces, put in your filter text and click Search After you have done your search, expand the nodes and select all of the interfaces you want to edit and click Edit Properties *Important, make…

I was trying to show him the 'Long Math' method first (if anyone here even knows what that is) :)

Select IP_Address, Caption, NodeID, Owner FROM Orion.NodesCustomProperties VariableNameForCustomProperties INNER JOIN Orion.nodes KeyYouWantToJoinWith on VariableNameForCustomProperties.NodeID = KeyYouWantToJoinWith.NodeID

Here is how to join Nodes with CP's. Replace group, severity, description, application with your own custom property names. Afterwards you can use a where clause such as Where GROUP LIKE '%TheIntelGroup%' or Where Caption LIKE '%MyServersName%' to select specific items --IP_Address, Caption, NodeID is from the Nodes Table…

There is a setting you need to set here in order for Custom HTML to work. Read about is before enabling it because it does carry some security risks. Use your server name where it is displayed in caps below and you need to be an admin to load this page.…

Statistic: ???? is used in Powershell. I don't think it matters what you name the column in SQL. For a SQL query the Statistic is simply the first column returned and you can optionally also return a second column which is the Message. 

# Shamelessly stolen from https://blog.kmsigma.com/2017/09/08/sam-powershell-scripting-template/ Love it! 

Thanks @dkeyser and @KMSigma loading it up in my test system now :)

You could use the API and run these as schedule tasks as a workaround for now. It may also be possible to combine some custom properties and alert actions and node variables to run the scripts to Put/take them out of maintenance mode as well. The powershell code to put a node into maintenance mode is on…

@dkeyser could you put up a link to the template as well? I'm currently assigning a similar template to several thousand nodes and would love to see if the one you are referencing is any better than the one I'm using. Thanks in advance!

We use IP Address as the key between Solarwinds and SNow. it works 99 percent of the time but we are doing a data pull from SNow into Solarwinds, not the other direction. We do also use the SNow Connector. To add on to @JM_sysadmin statement, depending on the device type, the serial number OID may be different. In the case…
