@mikej19 , I agree with @Lofstrand , definitely not something that we've seen with other customers. If you create a support case, pls post the case number back here so I can follow it.

The Color formatter will be removed in a future release (it is used for another feature and should not show here) The HTML formatter will remain and we added an note to update our documentation on it. Internally tracked under OO-60463

@anish.888222 , after you create a support case for this request, please post the case number here so I can follow it pls.

@lloyd267 , would you mind posting your support case number here (or DM if your not wanting it public)? I'd like to see where this sits internally. Also, when using a multi-subnet approach, I'll mention that the use of a SolarWinds managed DNS record is optional. We added the ability in 2025.1 to allow customer to disable…

some additional clarification here. Installation of the Main Polling Engine will remain on Windows for the foreseeable future. The migration to .NET8 will eventually give a phased approach to using linux as part of the SolarWinds deployment. It'll start with a lightweight .NET8 only engine, which would allow the…

We plan on custom property support in 2026.2.

You can have up to two banners visible at a time, they stack on top of each other. We did make sure the colors mandated for government classification were included and worked with our internal federal team to validate it. Some banners can be marked as permanent and other are dismissible. If the description is too long…

@sidj2025 and @infspt , please log a support case. If you post your case number here that allows me to follow it internally. thank you.

Can you all post your support case numbers? I'd like to follow these internally. Thank you!

I'll +1 what @Lofstrand mentioned about the new Maintenance scheduler that is baked into the UI, no scripting needed. It came out in 2025.2 2025.2 Release Notes with additional updates in 2025.4 (currently latest) 2025.4 Release Notes

We have added the ability to add dashboard tabs, a GUI for Global Filters, and breadcumbs in 2024.4, The RC is now available if you'd like to test out this functionality. Release Notes: documentation.solarwinds.com/.../solarwinds_platform_2024-4_release_notes.htm Product Blog:…

Lets go team! Nicely done everyone!

Not sure when this was introduced but you can change the polling method of a node in Orion. I wrote this quick script to solve an issue i was facing of needing to change thousands of nodes from SNMP to ICMP.…

There is this custom template on Thwack that allows for wildcards in file age. File Age Monitor (Wildcard)

Agreed. This is some info I heard about Orion and SQL AAG. Orion does work with Always On Availability Group with the caveat that it leverages Microsoft OLEDB connections to the DB. This is currently the least compatible connection method for AAG. The best work around is to use DNS Aliasing as the connection string in the…

This functionality already exists today with the use of Custom Properties. Alerting with Custom Properties - Trigger Condition Yes/No

I guessed 10.5 ms and got it right....it was a pure guess

I started a job years ago for a SaaS based company where I found out they were hosting websites on their production AD Domain Controllers....It was one of the first things that I corrected. While I was fixing that I also had to kill their "company" torrent server and file share which was all running on company servers....

@"marlief22", good question. In the past this would have been tricky. However, starting in 2022.3, during the configuration wizard section, it'll actually create a netflow and logs (syslog/traps) database too. If those features are not used, then those databases will sit dormant on the database server. That way they are…

@"MarcosS" , if you have already created a support case, will you post that case number here? We'll need to investigate this further. Thank you!

We have added the a GUI for Global Filters in 2024.4, The RC is now available if you'd like to test out this functionality. Release Notes: documentation.solarwinds.com/.../solarwinds_platform_2024-4_release_notes.htm Product Blog:…

This was implemented. Article descriving the import/export steps. documentation.solarwinds.com/.../core-fusion-dashboard-import-export.htm Location on thwack for dashboard content exchange. Modern Dashboards 

Yup, i actually agree 100% with you rschroeder​. This FR stemmed as an internal discussion with my team about product feature requests.

@"meiers" , it might be easier to setup an API Poller within the platform to monitor your API endpoint. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-api-poller-manage.htm. I recommend you check that out and see if that fulfills your requirements. If that doesn't work and you need the PoweShell…

to reference custom properties as global filters when using SWQL, you need to make sure you are joining the custom properties tables in your queries. Here is a basic example I have in one of my KPI widgets. The last line is the JOIN on the node custom properties table. SELECT ROUND(AVG(rt.Availability),3) as [Availability]…

@"LegalAid" , MSSQL is designed to consume all available memory on the server. So on a good note, it isn't an issue. There are several 3rd party links that walk through setting a max memory used setting in MSSQL. I bet you could drop things back to 32 GB and set the MSSQL memory max at minus 4-6 GB for the OS and you'd be…

@"LDave" , I've love to look into this request more. If you're willing, can you post (or DM me) your SolarWinds ID (SWID)?

I don't think there is an int64 conversion, the best that I know of is to change the format when selecting the variable. When you check the box on DateTime (or other datetime variables) there is a format option near the bottom of the popup window.

Ah, my brain isn't working today. Do a 'NOT LIKE' on like 10 in my example. AND n.AssetInventory.Software.Name NOT LIKE 'Sentinel Agent%'

I think the JOIN you have is incorrect. You actually don't need the JOIN at all since the Asset Inventory data is already linked in the Orion.Nodes table. Try this query (I updated the name to 'SolarWinds Agent%' since I don't have Sentinel in my lab. SELECT n.NodeID, n.DisplayName, n.IPAddress, n.MachineType,…
