I have a new install of 12.4 running on Windows 2106, SQL 2016 SP2. Everything else appears working but when I try to view the database details under Main Settings and Administration I get the dreaded error. I ran the repair in the above mentioned article and still getting the error. I'm running Solarwinds as DBOWNER,…

@ tdanner​ This is an older post. Do you know if there have been any changes with using windows authentication with the rest API ? Thanks in advance.

So I would like to make a copy of the 'All Groups' frame and then filter the copy to only show a single group. The options under 'Edit' are shown below. View Mode: has these options, Root Level Groups, Flat, All Groups Group By: None, Status Order By: Name, Status I was hoping View Mode could also have Group abc, Group…

I would have like to go to the conference but it was in DC..... yuck! I still think I will eventually make use of the app for porting alerts over to Splunk

I agree with jxchappell the DB User User ID=Solar;Password=******* probably is not set up on the new SQL server, or the has insufficient rights, or a typo in the password.

That isn't capacity, it means of all the elements you are polling it is completing the job 100%. When that number drops down to less than 100 it means its not keeping up. Your system looks healthy to me.

Yes, I'm looking forward to 12.4 myself.

Probably a Custom Property would be best. Some switches are also routers.

Nice work Stephen!

Thanks for the comment John. I a experiencing the same issue. Waiting for Support to contact me still on case ##1079025.​

Are you sure the node has the field populated with the text P3?

Good point! bharris Be sure to back that folder up occasionally. I also have another folder in the same directory that contains all of my instructions files on what the NOC is supposed to do with each alert. They are all called ALERTNAME.mht. I do that so I can call them out from within the alert…

It should have started working as soon as you added the node and interface.

Click on the interface to drill into it Then click on Edit Interface Then make sure the bandwidth is set correctly.

Kept this one, will come in handy. Thanks!

If all of your UPS's begin with the work APC- it might be easier to go directly to the Custom Property Editor and search for APC- then cut/paste in the data you want to put in. Otherwise you could always export your nodes out to Excel, sort in Excel, update the fields and then re-import them.

Here is a place to start. SELECT TOP 1000 EventTime, Message, EventID, EventType FROM Orion.Events Where EventType LIKE '5000' or EventType LIKE '5001' Order by EventTime DESC

I would show the developers the single pane of glass front end we wrote in house and ask them to develop something similar out of the box as a replacement for the Message Center. 

I checked and mine is gone as well. The syslogs are still being written to the database though but can't use any rules.

One thing you might try is copying your template and assigning fewer nodes to each copy. I was watching the Point of Sale systems at a lot of locations and when I assigned too many nodes it caused issues. To fix it I just copied the SAM template and broke my nodes into smaller groups. 

Nice! I had over 3,500 that were not supported. Cleaned them right up.

It is an issue. I submitted the feature request below but it hasn't received any votes. We monitor a lot of sites and every three months we do an audit of all the subnets to find any items that were missed. During the past few upgrades all of my discovery profiles were wiped out. I submitted a feature request to have the…

Yep it is possible. There is a SolarWinds App for Splunk, we use it to pull in events. It doesn't pull in Netflow data that is aggregated though. You can have Splunk attach to the Orion database and perform SQL queries however. Google 'performing a SQL query from Splunk' and you can find out the details.

I tried it on my system 2020.2.1 and my local user worked fine. I tested it first in the scheduler and then saved the schedule then tried run now and the report was emailed to me with no issue. Did you test the ID in the scheduler yet to make sure it is working? I just used the local user name and password. No domain.

If you RDP to your Arion server there is a windows based SNMPWALK command under "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\SnmpWalk.exe"

SELECT TOP 200 DateTime, Message FROM Orion.SysLog --WHERE Message LIKE '%YourSearchHere%' ORDER BY DateTime DESC

We set up all of our routers to send us syslog messages whenever there are OSPF events and then trigger alerts based off of those events. It works more in real time when that occurs. In that way you get the complete info including the hostnames and interfaces.

At some point, maybe the 2020 upgrade? I noticed reports could no longer be ran as a local Orion account. We use a special AD service account for reporting and the AD account works fine so maybe try running it as your own account or an account you have set up in AD for reporting. If you run it as your own account be aware…

If your alert isn't working I would try moving the Custom Property portion down to where the rest of your logic is and just leave the top portion as 'all nodes'.

I have ran into this occasionally when DNS wasn't set up correctly. Try doing a DNS lookup on both the hostname and on the IP address and ensure they both resolve. Also try the lookup with and without the domain at the end of the name and make sure that works as well. Most if the time when I have ran into this when reverse…
