@"kip1979" Should just be "Name" notice when I do a search the second Column says "VMShared" that's the name of my datastore, the second column is an output preview.

@"kip1979" when you modify the email body you can click the "Insert Variable" button, this will allow you to search for a variable that you would like such as Datastore Name and include it in your email message, when you finish selecting the variable it will insert the variable at the location of your cursor.

@"cwjohnson3rd", on the main poller outbound icmp traffic rule to whatever node you want to test

@"cwjohnson3rd" I usually just create a firewall rule in Windows firewall to block ping to the node I wanna test. 

@"swright" you can add the below as part of your select statement to bring in the Team CP for the related node. Keep in mind this will display a NULL value for any object that is not a child of a node object. ,o.Node.CustomProperties.Team

@"keoki" I've seen this behavior if there are orphaned limitations present in the DB. If you run an active diagnostics or go to the My Orion Deployment -> Deployment Health there should be a warning if they exist. It will also tell you how to remediate it. Another remediation item you can do is to try and clear the…

@"daku97" its likely that one of the columns is actually doing a join which can lead to duplicated data. You can check by expanding the columns to see if its getting the information from different tables. If it is you may have to move to a SWQL based data source to accommodate for it and add in logic to exclude duplicates.

@"rjjansen" you can pause the auto refresh by click "More" in the top right corner and checking "Pause Auto Refresh of this page. See below

@"mat12" are you looking at creating a report, a dashboard widget on a summary page, a widget on a node details page? Either is certainly doable but the query for each one will likely be different. Rather basically you would could do something like below, it will give an output of the defined statistic you want to show so…

@"wes.reneau", I see where the issue was. Try this one, same concept, just update the vendor info wherever you see that comment SELECT 'Unmanaged' as [Status] ,n.Caption AS [Node] ,tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageFrom)) AS [From] ,case when n.UnManageUntil is null or n.UnManageUntil = '9999-01-01 00:00:00' then 'Not set' else…

@"wes.reneau", Give this modified query a try, you should just need to define the vendor value wherever you find "ADDED FOR WR FOR VENDOR INFO" SELECT 'Unmanaged' as [Status] ,n.Caption AS [Node] ,tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageFrom)) AS [From] ,case when n.UnManageUntil is null or n.UnManageUntil = '9999-01-01 00:00:00' then…

@"shyde", I cant comment on the functionality of this specific item, but the description of your problem sounds a lot like the issues outlined in this THWACK post, basically, there was a new security setting added that you might have to look at modifying if you want to take advantage of something like this.

@"zkahl", let me try and hobble something together I would think work. I'll post something when I think I have it worked out.

@"zkahl", Could create a different alert that looks at whether or not utilization for those ISP interfaces drops below a certain threshold.

@"zkahl", How are you monitoring your tunnels? is it through Network Insight for ASA or as Interfaces on the node? this distinction will drive the query that could be built to accomplish this

@"zkahl", couple of different way I can think of to do this. The one that sticks out at me is you can change your alert criteria to only alert on "Physical" interfaces which if SolarWinds is polling the sub-interfaces it should be polling them as Virtual which would then be scoped out of the alert. Take a look at that and…

@"kevin.moralez", I recommend putting this code into a Custom Query Widget, it'll automatically add that aliased out Icon/Link stuff for you

@"kevin.moralez" I received the same error, after some investigation the error it is throwing in the SWQL studio is that a column is being used twice in the ORDER BY statement. Try using the below modified query which I was able to get to work SELECT '' as Status, '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + StatusIcon AS…

@"kevin.moralez", where are you pasting it into? This is an SWQL query so you have to ensure that wherever you are pasting it executes it as such. Most places within SolarWinds will execute this without any issue, but in certain places such as when creating a report or custom table widget you have to define whether or not…

@"itengineer", short answer no it cannot. What is defined as a free poller on the page you reference is only available with the purchase of the products in the "Supported Products" column and will only have the capabilities to poll the metrics that those modules poll. 

@"kishore574", I see this a lot when Session Tracing is enabled. I would start by looking at that Enable Session Tracing, 

@"nickburns186", so I remember when setting it up I had to enable some stuff in O365 for the account as well to take advantage of it, below is a screenshot of my account settings. I would check the settings for the account you are using. I think the only setting actually required is "Authenticated SMTP" but I could be…

@"nickburns186", is that error when you attempt to send a test email? And you have "Use SSL" checked? below is a screenshot of my settings that work. Also another thing to point out that I dont think is related is that the user that you have in there must be an actual user, and not a shared resource or something like that.

@"JoachimT", to disable the the HTTP Binding Monitor you must expand the component name called "HTTP Bindings Monitor", the setting is not found under the "Sites" component. 

@"JoachimT", The issue is not with SolarWinds' ability to poll the site or anything like that, it is reporting to you what the site is reporting you can confirm this by navigating to the site that is reporting the Forbidden error, what does it say? I'd imagine it is responding with a forbidden, which is likely done on…

@"Chet", try this filter Nodes.CustomProperties.CCTV_Network = 'CCTV_Network' and Status <> 1

@"Chet", can you provide a screenshot of a node with its associated CCTV_Network value?

@"JoachimT", for script monitors you need to define a Statistic at a minimum, this value must be an integer. That's probably why your script is returning "Test failed with unknown status" to ensure that what it is just add in a statistic. You can read these for more guidance The Basics of PowerShell (part 1) The Basics of…

@"Chet", is CCTV_Network a boolean value? If so then you filter would look like this Nodes.CustomProperties.CCTV_Network = 'true' and Status = 2

@"Chet", what are possible values for the CCTV_Network Custom Property? What you have posted above is formatted incorrectly. It is stating that CCTV_Network has to equal a value called status that is not 1
