As did I (including editing the jsl.ini to use 2.15. No joy on restarting the service. My guess is the jsl.exe has max version number in it.

I'm experiencing this same issue with my F5 appliances. Both say they're virtual machines hosted by an ESX host (also multiple states away). Weirder still is they don't show up on the list of VMs when I view the ESX hosts themselves. I've got a now archived ticket for this issue. Curious to know where in the DB handles…

It seems the newest update broke both the threshold functionality as well as the pingdom default (new oob template is transactions only not uptime that I can see) as well as the widget doesn't allow "metric" to be selected as a threshold value. Seems the NPM and widget ui/ux team forgot to test pingdom functionality and…

Luckily didn't lose upgrade site this time but have noticed all of my custom api pollers are now broken, many of my custom modern dashboard widgets had settings change (including setting threshold to display linear bar graphs). Weirdly noticing that perfstack widgets are showing bps rather than gbps or mbps. Not how it's…

Has the been resolved in the 2020.2.6 release? I don't recall seeing it in the release notes.

Love it! Spent hours building a complicated universal poller for our giest watchdog appliances and discovered there is an API on the appliances now which the API poller worked gorgeously with. API Poller method took me 15 minutes to setup and create alerts for too. 

That seems to resolve the issue nicely. Going back to the original code I used the issue is gone now as well. One hopeful future feature would be the ability to link status legend to a filtered manage nodes page (e.g. click "down" legend item in widget, new page opens to "manage nodes" page with "down" filter preselected).…

Well for the majority of the issues I've worked around them and fixed without keeping notes but the default legend block you shared SELECT COUNT(1) AS Count_Items, Status FROM Orion.Nodes GROUP BY Status Is the one where if all 6 status are active the pie chart disappears due to size constraints.

edit: It is indeed broken. At some point it changed over to another spot in the database and I'd corrected the widget in our production environment without updating my notes. New location should be: SELECT ID, RequestDetailsId, DisplayName, Path, WarningThreshold, CriticalThreshold, ThresholdRule, Type,…

I've got most all of my fixable on my end issues resolved. Remaining issues are all reported as bugs such as: Donut charts won't display if widget is small and legend contains more than 3 items. (data shows just no actual chart) Widgets where expected result is null error out each time they refresh. PerfStack widgets with…

Can confirm odd behavior throughout. Was not prepared for perfstack to not work without changing quite a few things within those widgets. Also the font selections and scaling on KPI is nice. Though despite all of the changes made it surprises me I still can't turn off scroll on table widgets. Right now I have a couple of…

Yep, you can. Formatting for the usernames leaves much to be desired but it will show replications, explicit logins, failed login attempts and a few dozen more metrics. Works best when you have all of your DCs added to it. Can't speak to access rights module but reporting on AD status will require a lot of template editing…

Same issue I'm having. 

I think they were asking about the initial installers for 2020.2. Doesn't appear as though those have been replaced yet.

Just installed it and am getting it setup for our tier 2 engineers to manage switchstack ports that are user facing as we adjust workspaces for post-covid environments. So far 2 immediate needs/asks/suggestions: Quick method in portal to ignore switchstack ports and trunk ports Having UDT options in manage nodes page.…

You'll need current maintenance agreement to upgrade it. License portal will have the licenses you need if you're still under maintenance.

Happy to oblige, also added an update yesterday to add in a couple more widgets I used: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Discussions/Simple-Volume-Capacity-Widget/m-p/597718#M147863

SWQL studio would be the best place/way to test queries before putting them into the actual orion site. It's included in the Orion SDK and is a daily use tool for me in our environment. 

Yep. Likely needs to add '[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12' to the script. The unmanage node powershell we use has to have that included.

There is indeed (on both the classic and modern dashboards). I wrote a post detailing the volume dashboard I've built in the modern dash however the key to making it work and only show actual volumes involves building your widgets to add this to the swql query: where node.Unmanaged = false and vfc.DisplayName != 'Physical…

Are you also using VMan? I don't see VirtualMachines.OldestSnapshotDate under orion.VIM.VirtualMachines in swql at all.

I had the same problem as you, until about 10 minutes ago. I fixed it by copying the pool name directly from the F5 admin page and pasting it into the Orion field. What I thought was the correct path "/Common/NameOfMyPool" that Orion wanted was actually named /Common/NameofMyPool.app/NameOfMyPool". If that helps at all. I…

I've had no luck having real alerts properly format the "Alert Details" and "Ack Link" I always get the variable string showing as text.

What version of NPM are you currently running?

In my case testing using the slack webhook and the { this is a test } worked fine. When I try to add any variables it fails instantly.

That's something we do a lot too. If that's the case I'm going to hope that there's a way to make it so that self-cleans somehow

Using this should render a nice widget with optional Lync (Skype for Business) link to direct open a chat window with them. Adding in and pulling additional services like Teams, Slack, and more should be relatively straightforward. This bit of script assumes emails are formatted first.last@domain and then automatically…

That seems to be exactly the case. Noticed during vman deployment that quite a few existing nodes didn't have the vmware credentials option at all. I think a script that checks for ootb updates would be handy for when this happens.

@"serena" I had no idea that functionality was there! Any chance it can get it's own spot in the admin all settings page?

 I've got the same problem. What's even stranger is the 2 pool members at the bottom. The one marked unknown is the active pool member and the green one is the standby pool member. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
