Yeah, I almost never need to search the current view. Can we put a second search box on the same screen that does the advanced search?

The polling rate can be different of all of the nodes, which one would it display? What if instead there was a drop down for "polls" on "condition must exist for more than xx yyyy" I could live with it as a drop down as an alternative to seconds, minutes, or hours. I would really prefer that it was part of the trigger…

Yes, this needs to be a widget. Until it's a builtin widget, you can get it with a custom query widget, instead of a report. For Example, I have one that shows future node and SAM application maintenance schedules. This is only for suppress alerts, I don't include unmanage, and personally I want to remove unmanage as an…

This would be a great feature. I had to jump though hoops getting Orion to run a powershell script which just turned around and did the post. I would make the format a dropdown box so you can expand it later. JSON, HTML, RAW, etc. Have fields for timeout, retries, and an option to move immediately to the next escalation if…

I would prefer that it just be another component since it's so different from powershell 5. Then maybe someday when it comes out native on windows server, start the process of deprecating the old widnows powershell component.

I would think that every solarwinds product would be great to have "free" for something like half of the smallest license. so for SEM the smallest license is 30 devices and lists at $4665. So if the license was just free with no conditions for up to 15 devices but also with no support. I am sure they would lose some profit…

I mean, have we really done anything new in computers since the 1940's? Ultimately every bit is just a "0" or a "1", (until we get into quantum computing). We can move the bits faster or make them into pretty patterns, but they are still just the same old bits.

Though I do understand this would be very hard. The match is SQL, so maybe we need to submit an upstream feature request with Microsoft to add regex matching to Microsoft SQL server. I mean come on, what is this, the 1970s?

The primary way to get around it, is to have the customer pay in advance. Then you are working on a credit and you are not in debt. If you eat first, then pay, they are required to accept cash. The tricky part is if you agreed, in advance, on the method of payment. Such as, the server specifically tells you, "we don't…

Not sure there is a way to do either of the last two... At least on ifInDiscards, since they didn't make it far enough up the stack to be in a newflow or packet capture. On ifOutDiscards it's only theoretically possible, but I don't think anything exposes that information. It might be a close approximation to use TCP…

1) I never noticed that we cannot have custom properties on components. It's odd and yes that should be a feature. 2) I've always alerted on the application monitor, never really noticed the problem. Generally if I have a monitor, the same group will get the alerts for all of the components, it just seems odd for it to be…

Yes, I understand that technically KB=1000B (decimal), and KiB=1024B (binary), but sorry, (No matter what IEC says) the general community uses KB/MB/GB as the binary (1024) version for most situations dealing with bit and bytes, with the exception of raw drive sizes, and that is more of a marketing thing than a technical…

I actually don't have a use for this, but I am a firm believer that all string matches should be Regex. Elect me a president and I'll make it a law. And all vehicle gas caps/charging ports should be on the drivers side.

As a work around you can simply execute powershell 7 inside powershell 5. Not ideal, but "sometimes ya gotta do whatca gotta do." Put your script where I have the "write-output" commands. pwsh.exe -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -Command { Write-Output "Statistic.Test: $($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major)" Write-Output…

Or how about we do something like the linux scripting where you write the script to a temp file, then have an executable with that temp name as a parameter. Then it can just support anything.

AMEN! I have autodependencies turned off because of this. Most of our small sites the cellular backup connection is not powered on unless it's needed so there is no way for Orion to know about it. Luckily our helpdesk software has been consolidating the alert flood, so noone has really cared.

That would be really nice, but I thought it might be asking for too much.

By golly, aLTeRGo, you are right! While this is a perfect fix for my situation, I can see where I might want to leave the critical value at a single poll so that it will be visible on a graph, but not alert unless it's been 2 or 3 polls.

Wait.... There is one... The funny part is I only noticed it because I saw one of my users doing it. I don't know what version it appeared in, but it was not there when I first installed orion.

I already do this using the alert action "Set Custom Property". I just don't like seeing it in the alerts definitions, because it's not an actual alert.

I know you said sysname, but just incase it's actually reverse DNS there is a setting for that: Settings -> All Settings Threshold and Polling Polling Settings Network Perform Reverse DNS Lookup (uncheck)

It's been a while since I had this problem, but I believe that it only happened on the initial creation of the node. From what I remember it was setting the caption to the reverse DNS, but it could also have been the SNMP sysname. Either way, looks like my work around was a short delay after the New-SwisObject (I'm using…

Here is the example SWQL I was talking about, if you wish to pursue that route, instead of taking my obviously superior advice. (just kidding there is no one size fits all monitoring and alerting). Here is the Text of the SWQL: NOTE that first line above is provided for you (and cannot be modified), while below has more…

One alert for several nodes is thinking in the right direction. What you are looking for is a SWQL query alert, and likely you want "Setup your SWQL connection:" , Dropdown -> "Node". Using node seems counter intuitive, and technically it could work either way, and both are complicated. Alternative Setup: With 2 apps there…

You can also create a subdomain. I didn't want that account to be able to modify the base AD domain so I created solarwinds.your.corp. and gave it permissions there. Now that is only for my polling engine HA, the web site HA is through an F5 load balancer.

Or if you want a specific node on a modern dashboard it would work if you search and replace ${NODEID} with the nodeid you want. If that works then you can modify it to use the node caption instead of nodeid.

You are correct that will not work on a modern dashboard. I misunderstood the assignment. I thought you were doing this on the node summery page for a specific node. So you want a list of all nodes and their resources on one single widget on a modern dashboard?

select nodeid from orion.nodes Ok, I can do really simple ones... but I don't ever post those....

Give it a try. try to post that nasty swql I posted, but post it as a code insert. 

If you mean that the statistic (showed as "0" above) is other than 1, then you simply edit the monitor and set the "critical" thresholds to "not equal to" 1 If you mean "if any of the message string is not a 1", then you have to change the script. In that case I would suggest you return the "statistic" as the count of…
