Oh the memories... "Can you Picture that!?" Childhood flashbacks. Besides... Animal!

Love this! You have my vote

Hi all, look for more Instructor-led sessions coming in March. While not everything in our On-Demand library will have a corresponding instructor-led session, we try to teach a good selection of the popular and current ones. We also teach them globally to accommodate different time zones as much as we can. The schedule can…

What a great idea! I confess it never occurred to me but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing

Hi @"jeremymayfield" This question could be worded a little better, I agree. I suggest everyone pay attention to what is asked: Is it CAN or CANNOT? 

That's an awesome way to look at it. I spent quite a bit of time supporting and training LEM and I can say most people I talked to then saw compliance as a stick. Its sometimes a pain to deal with an audit, yes, but at the same time there are some good principles of network security that are met, by default, when you…

I can't wait to see everyone in Austin. It's been a long time!

one post that's a goldmine of great information! Thanks @"ChrystalT"

Zack Attack. Zack's hair and Casey Kasem... if I MUST choose...

Congrats! I can't think of better evangelists than you and @"KMSigma.SWI" 

Have a GREAT event! I know it'll be awesome 

Whoo hoo! SWUG in NA! 

I always knew there was a reason for being a packrat for extra cables, connectors, monitors, etc.... Amazing what all of us IT people can do if we have some spare parts and a bit of imagination, right? Adaptation always has been part of our lives. Bring on the SolarWinds Academy virtual classes. I'm ready to teach if…

Hi there Let me see if I can help you, but first let me clarify a few things to be sure I understand the problem. LDAP authentication is most commonly used in the SolarWinds software when the server is not or cannot be on the domain you wish to use for user accounts. Advanced AD settings are all about configuring LDAP, and…

Hi everyone, while we encourage our customers to help and support each other in the certification process, this is just a quick reminder that SolarWinds does not work with any third-party vendors for exam preparation and materials. Therefore, we do not verify alignment with the SCP exams for any materials we do not…

And the "core" features in the legacy NPM exam (alerts, reports, views, etc...) is part of the Fundamentals exam now. 

Remember that the exam certifications will still be valid for 3 years as before. The retiring just means we will not offer the exam for new certifications after that date and at the end of 3 years, you can't renew on the same exam. NPM capabilities are included in SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted Network Monitoring and…

From afar, I hear my name whispered on the wind... Apologies for the tardy response, I was hiking and riding horses in Monument Valley and Four Corners last week. This is a common challenge for customers. Hopefully, we'll have a better way to organize learning in the near future, but in the meantime, you may find this…

Hi, @"Onyxinator" Currently, I can recommend the study and exam prep guides on the Success Center Knowledgebase. The exam prep guide will show you which domains in the exam have the most emphasis. If you are currently in maintenance with one or more SolarWinds products, you can take the classes on the customer portal. All…

This is an interesting discussion thread thanks for starting it. We don't have any current plans to offer CE creds for SCP renewals but its an interesting topic to consider. 

sorry, meant that it doesn't display details ;) Account Limitation would work as well, if you want to have the limitation apply system wide, and not just on the alert itself. There are use cases for both. Depends on what the goal is. 

All alerts have the default "Message to display when the alert is triggered" field in the Alert Actions. If all you want to do is keep it from displaying in alerts widgets when it fires, you can clear that text box. However, if the intent is for this alert not to be visible or display for certain people or groups, I would…

I would be surprised if SNMP polls this; it's probably monitored through API to the orchestrator. I would see how this number is defined and how they track overload to adjust this alert accordingly. Since we support different vendors, there might be some adjustments based on how the vendor tracks this metric. I'm not sure,…

I haven't done it personally but I found these resources: First is a good discussion on here on THWACK. Its a bit older, but this level of customization and work with NCM, I'd be surprised if there are many significant changes, but still, keep that in mind, especially if any of the customization has been impacted by our…

I would suggest asking the author of this report if they can help you refine it

YOu can open a support ticket on the https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/ - Technical Support If you do not have a logon, you will need to see whomever the primary contact is for the SolarWinds Software in your company. They have your SolarWinds customer ID (SWID) and can create an account for you to access this…

Reposting this reply for clarity: We do NOT give vouchers for referrals or Intern work. You CAN earn 60K THWACK points and use them to PURCHASE a voucher in the THWACK store, (therefore not paying any actual money) through participation in THWACK community activities. Any other "giveaways" would be outside of SolarWinds…

You may consider checking out the reports in other areas of THWACK including the Self-Hosted Platform. Another user who is pretty savvy with SWQL may be able to help you write a custom query report to pull the data you need. Its in the DB, so its fair game for a report, just need to find the right tables and entires…

Hi @"Matije_SW_Thwack" all of our courses, training materials and demos are developed in line with the exams. taking the courses and studying the prep guides are the best way to pass the exams. also, I asked @"ChrystalT" to put a recommended learning path document on THWACK to guide you by product on what courses would be…
