Based on my tests it looks like Severity Color Value is looking for a numeric number between 0 and 5. ,CASE WHEN e.PollingCompletion < 95 THEN 3 ELSE 0 END AS [PollingCompletionColor] --Show critical when below 95 --Other Severity counts --0 = Green (OK) --1 = Blue (Informational) --2 = Yellow (Warning) --3 = Red…

Looks like you're trying to apply the link to the link column itself. I would try the following (it worked in my lab) * 1. Edit the dashboard/Widget and delete the _LinkFor_Node column * 2. Expand out the Column for Node* Format: Link * Label: Node * URL: _LinkFor_Node * Save Changes/Done Editing Dashboard

This is what I've done in my environment. I leverage Global Filters in Modern Dashboards. This requires two dashboards. * A dashboard with the summary data (The widget you want to drill into) * A dashboard with only a single Table Widget (The data you want to see after drilling into the widget from #1) For item #1, Create…

What version are you running? SolarWinds added more support for Aruba in 2025.1 which was released Feb 2025. You can read more in the release notes. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/npm/content/release_notes/npm_2025-1_release_notes.htm

crazy indeed. This is not normal and isn't a trending issue that we've seen with other users. I would recommend you create a support case for it can be invested further.

To add to this, are you running your database server instance on the same server?

Ok, next questions would be: * Is the folder referenced in the PowerShell script local to the SolarWinds server? Or is this on a remote server being monitored by SW? * Is the SolarWinds agent installed on this server?

@"millottr" , this is available in product today but requires a specific node status calculation to be set. This setting was introduces a few years ago but it was we never forced users over to it as it does change the behavior of status calculations, and we did not want to affect any existing customer processes.

Not from the SolarWinds end, it simply grabs all VM's the service account has visibility into. So to limit it, the vCenter account permissions for that service account have to be adjusted accordingly.

Modify your vCenter service account and limit it's view to not see those VMs. Basic minimum permissions KB

Modern Dashboards does not support individual view permissions like Legacy does. That is in our backlog to add. Some considerations would be to use something like Modern Dashboard Global Filters. The difference is this only filters the view, it does not restrict it. Users can drop the filters to see other items. To use…

The service that executes SolarWinds application scripts is the SolarWinds Orion Module Engine service which runs under the builtin windows LOCALSYSTEM account. Executing scripts from C:\User\* will have permission issues. The best route is to paste the contents of your script into the body of the PowerShell Component…

Yes, it should be able too. more details found here: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/lm/la-orion-log-viewer.htm

Yes, that is a perfect example for the new Recurring Maintenance Window feature. You could set a daily scheduled to automatically set nodes into an unmanaged state.…

I've had a saying of "friends don't let friends use group alerts", because you end up with duplicate alerts that are challenging to logic/query out of. I've typically challenged the need to have groups alert since the underlying entity was covered by another alert. However, that might not be possible in all scenarios.

Yes, starting in 2025.1 you can override node and group entity URLs when editing the map and expanding the Behavior section. If you're not on that version then I recommend you upgrade to 2025.1.1. The RC for 2025.2 is being released on April 15th, 2025 with a GA in the first half of June 2025.

This is coming in the next release, 2025.2. RC is April 15, 2025 and GA is planned for June 10th, 2025.

What version of SWQL are you using? I know there were issues with older versions of SWQL Studio connecting to newer versions of the SolarWinds Platform

Are you talking about monitoring if an API is online and accepting calls generally? Or are you looking to monitor real-life API calls as part of an existing integration?

I've seen recently that if i click the Source Dashboard Dropdown and select 'Empty Widgets' before the list loads then it shows nothing. I'm curious if you select 'Any Dashboard', wait for the list to load, and then select 'Empty Widgets' and see what you get.

That is correct 

Thanks for the feedback. I've captured this internally under OSHPD-434. We do have plans to migrate the List Resources page in the future but it is not on an active roadmap at this time. There are options via the API that can allow for selected items from a List Resources this might be an work-around for now.…

Is this for backing up device configs? If so, and if you have a unique enable password per device, then you'll need a unique NCM connection profile. Details about how to create and assign those via the API are found here. https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/NCM-Connection-Profiles
