When you're within the PerfAnalysis view you can adjust the view of the monitored poller to normalize/smooth/standardize and more to give a nicer looking graph to view. My request for clarity was on whether that could be applied to the save state and then leveraged by the widgets: Default: With Smoothing/Standardization…

SG Series should all have full SSH capabilities. To get them configured will take a few extra steps but otherwise stable and quite responsive when monitored via SNMP.

I do have admin rights. Issue seems to be with the new page editor not showing the delete button but classic mode does.

@"sw2174873" Strip the last line off the query. The ORDER BY bit is wrong. Without that pasting directly into the modern dashboard table widget works perfectly. 

This can happen if you have an agent deployed and run maintenance on the SQL server. I just reported this bug. It appears that if a scheduled discovery or poll occurs when the SQL server is unavailable it doesn't reattempt the polling again because it's waiting for the event in the past to clear before resuming. Easiest…

This is gorgeous and exactly what I needed to convince more supervisors to focus their eyeballs on Orion more than just what inbound tickets look like.

Didn't take me long to convert this into a modern dashboard widget! Love it! I don't suppose you'd know how to make an events list of the last 10 events of a certain severity like this?

Can you go into more detail on what type of VPNs you're using? If you search in the left column for "vpn" within swql studio it'll show you just the fields pertaining to VPN. 

It's a bug. Same thing happens with any module. From what I can tell it's not checking the import against existing nodes until the next step in the discovery import process. Hoped 2020.2.1 would fix it but sadly not yet patched.

This is brilliant! 

I would highly recommend you upgrade to ipam 2020.2. Version 4.5 is far enough behind to have quite a few bugs that will make your life a lot simpler. 

I created a node for the virtual IP shared between our two BGP routers and use that along with a couple of legacy graphs on the classic dashboard to keep an "always on" view into it but you can also apply alerting rules to that specific node for the interface. Out of box NPM should have already set up most of the basics.…

Can you login to the SQL server itself to determine what usernames are active on that SQL instance? Short of that you can have a domain admin add a new full rights SQL user and then reconfigure DPA to use those credentials instead. I'd highly recommend you ensure your org is properly storing user/pass info somewhere…

Open a ticket. There's an ongoing problem with the "code" detector deciding that a post is bad. If you have sql or the right mix of other code (javascript, html) it will flag it as a hacking attempt. Been an ongoing intermittent issue since the switch to this platform in late January.

What SNMP version are you using? I've seen the same on v1 and v2. v3 I haven't experienced...yet. Additionally you may need to adjust the threshold to require 3-4 polling cycles before alerting. 

Assuming you're using the Modern Dashboard you'll want to: 1. Add a new widget. 2. Click "configure". 3. Choose "Timeseries widget" for type. 4. Click customize. 5. Under 'Data Model' click "edit model". 6. Choose your saved perfstack model. For Classic dashboards add a widget and search for "perf" in the widget available…

Added new widgets to show: a. Current health status of all volumes (really hope the chart widget eventually lets us add links to each item in the legend) b. Volume Serial/Name Audit: Duplicate volume names (split causes between Orion's quirks when expanding a live VM volume you'll sometimes get a new drive showing up and…

Sadly that's not supported at the moment much to my sadness. I had gotten the habit of the main page of a dashboard having subpages that covered greater detail for the items on the main page (Lync subpage/WAN/VDI etc). Now they're unconnected so classic dashboard still exists as primary. I think there's a feature request…

I just went through similar in January before deciding to start from scratch with a clean system (other than exporting alerting rules and importing them into the new system along with custom properties and custom dashboard widgets). Performance was ok after trying to upgrade the OS and then Orion but vastly better with a…

I'd open a support ticket and send them diagnostics for that. Looks like issues on the server side while queries are running. I'd also highly suggest updating to the 2020.2 patch level since a lot of the issues with those services are now fixed going forward.

I've been trying to figure out a solution too. HA would be vastly improved if it worked like this: Active Primary Web Server/Active APE/Primary SQL Server keep running as normal while HA upgrades Standby Web Server/Standby APE/Secondary SQL. Runs post install check. HA switches over to new patched standby stack. Upgrades…

What do the tables look like for your custom info? Availability statistics would be your best bet. 

@"tony.johnson" Consider me another vote for @"hansolo"'s request for the "subset" left sidebar option to come to modern dashboards. In my current "business continuity" dashboard each main focus on the front page has a deeper dive set of widgets to dive into each category with greater depth. Quickly flipping between them…

@"tony.johnson" Sadly in our deployment the "do not display a prefix icon" isn't accepted and it forces choosing an icon. As for the KPI I meant making it possible to show tx/rx in a single block to save space. As of now the KPI squares feel a bit bigger than they need to be.

Here's a "classic dashboard" widget. It autolinks to the perfstack data for each monitored check. <div id="status_table" class="sw-rpt-tbl-frame"> <script> //Pingdom Stats Widget 0.75 written by Chris O'Rourke May 22nd, 2020. //Change the TOP count to match the number of displayed results you want. var swql="SELECT TOP 30…

@"tony.johnson" Is there a way to target "manage nodes" with data? I'd love the node down widget to be able to link to manage nodes with "down" as a preset filter.

Here's my first pass using the new dashboard tools. Would love it if there were an ability to make KPI widgets stack in a 2x2 format (taking up the same space as the single widget does). Almost all of these I went the route of custom SWQL rather than with the builder. I grabbed the screenshot during a small bit of…

I've been working on a multi tab dashboard (Summary, Leadership, Virtualization, WAN, & our Line of Business Stacks) with my own view set to NOC rotation most of the time. I've found new ways of manipulating Orion's tools and a few headscratching moments but am thrilled to have a spot that's more than the default view. I'm…

Is there a particular reason that you can't set fixed with for all columns? Also if there is a way to not display number of records in a table at bottom of the table widget that would be handy. Lastly there seems to be a bug in the icon chooser for simple number values that won't allow choosing "do not display an icon".

You can send those as one of your headers. Typically it's apikey, api-key, or authorization followed by the auth string. Set the authentication to none as well.
