@"gattadisrikanth", take alook at the following articles. Additionally, there are a couple of example out-of-the-box alerts in SolarWinds itself. https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Top-10-Processes-for-Alerts?language=en_US

@"JaroslawLadyga", sadly the upgrade feature does not have any feature to define which branch you want to install, and in order to do an intermediate upgrade you have to get the installers from the customer portal. did you in fact install the RC in your prod environment?

@"mkilian", no it is not. Node Caption is a field that can be changed and is completely independent of other fields; System Name is a polled value and will update as the device name changes. 

@"decust", I've tried this several times but the To field in the email action doesn't support custom variables, unfortunately. 

@"CARION", try this. SELECT COUNT( AlertHistoryID ) AS [Alert Count] , oah.AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.DisplayName AS [Alert Name] , oah.AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.AlertID AS [Alert ID] , oah.AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Frequency AS [Alert Evaluation Frequency (seconds)] FROM Orion.AlertHistory oah WHERE…

@"jaleef", I would agree with @"SteveK" on this one. Without more detail regarding the error, you'll want to put in a support ticket. 

@"gregthompson", given the way that SolarWinds evaluates alerts having it alert on a hardware sensor would have to be a really complex query in order to scope it down. Which would mean probably more prone to failure. It makes me wonder if you'd be better off just making that script a scheduled task that just executes every…

@"jaleef", you can assign the same alert action to many alerts. so in theory you could have one action for all the alerts. The only issue in that is if you use variables in any of the information you send to pagerduty then it will likely result in some objects not populating them correctly. so a better approach might be…

@"TCWatson", so technically there's no way to dynamically adjust a Classic view and widget based on the user viewing it. What you'd have to do is create a new view or dashboard with the desired filtering and assign it to the user/group.

@"jaleef", so technically you shouldn't need to import any alerts in order for this to work. At its root all you need to do for any alert is to add an HTTP POST action and ensure it is formatted correctly for PagerDuty to accept it. If you search against THWACK you'll find several examples of json bodies that people send…

@"z128", see this article support.solarwinds.com/.../Add-MIBs-to-the-SolarWinds-MIB-database

@"ldelt", this is possible but not in the way you are probably thinking. What you would do is create the group and then create an alert for all members of that group, then set the trigger action to modify the Custom Property you want to the value you want. You could also set an inverse alert that says when members leave…

@"Shooty", this is in fact talking about locally to this server. There is no risk to other servers by selecting yes.

@"chan1012", not off the top of my head, and in a brief Google search it indicates this could occur for a number of reasons. Sounds like something that would be worth mentioning on your already opened support case to see if they can assist you with tracking down the actual reason for the error. 

@"chan1012", sure you can review the logs for WPM in this location C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\SEUM

[quote userid="296819" url="~/product-forums/web-performance-monitor-wpm/f/forum/97439/how-to-downgrade-previous-version-2020-2-6-currently-we-have-2022-4/306762#306762"]Post our upgrade only we are getting this kind of false positive alert with the error "No elements clicked"[/quote]@"chan1012", this is often caused by…

@"chan1012", so unfortunately this would only be possible if you still had a copy of the DB from when it was on 2020.2.6. Downgrading a DB that has been upgraded is not possible in my experience. If you still had a copy of the DB from when it was on 2020.2.6 you could uninstall the app and then re-install 2020.2.6 and…

@"brentbo", this honestly could have nothing to do with a SolarWinds setting, and might be a limitation imposed by whomever is responsible for running your mail system. They may have disabled html emails and convert everything to plain text. Have you checked with them? Are you able to receive other html enabled mail (from…

@"himanshu_ranjan", IPAM is licensed by Used IP addresses. Basically, any IP address with a status other than Available will count towards your IPAM license. 

@"patriot", any vendor that has an API should have documentation on how to consume it. The first place I would recommend looking is the vendor documents.

Try this SELECT COUNT([ActiveAlerts].AlertActiveID) AS [AlertCount] , CASE [ActiveAlerts].AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Severity WHEN 0 THEN 'Informational' WHEN 1 THEN 'Warning Alerts' WHEN 2 THEN 'Critical Alerts' WHEN 3 THEN 'Serious' WHEN 4 THEN 'Notice' ELSE CONCAT('Unknown Severity: ',…

can you give me an example of the filter you want? as an example i was able to get this to work using a node custom property by adding the below where statement. WHERE ActiveAlerts.AlertObjects.Node.CustomProperties.SupportedApp like '%SolarWinds%' Full Query SELECT COUNT([ActiveAlerts].AlertActiveID) AS [AlertCount] ,…

@"sadiqsul", is this a copy of the query that works or doesn't work? if it is a copy of the one that works, can you post a copy of the one that doesn't work?

@"arker", take a look at this query that should give you the information you are looking for.

@"RACampbell", to the best of my knowledge you have to re-install.

@"marcrobinson", i know exactly how you feel, i think in our environment we are waiting for the fix to come out instead of deploying this registry key. When we were trying to figure out what was going on, we saw no entries of the advertised event ID's, so that was less than helpful. At least Microsoft has acknowledged that…

@"RACampbell", to be clear its hard coded to the install location where you put the application. So if you install the application on a different drive the website location will follow. 

@"marcrobinson", you can add this key to your DC's as a workaround without removing the update. Unfortunately once a fix is released im not sure if you'll need to clean this key out. This was provided by Microsoft Support reg add HKLM\System\currentcontrolset\services\kdc /t REG_DWORD /v ApplyDefaultDomainPolicy /d 0 /f…

@"eldangab", you can create a custom poller to tell SolarWinds the right OID's to look at for the correct info. support.solarwinds.com/.../Create-a-custom-poller-to-get-more-info-from-a-node

@"AwesomeGuyNamedMatt", dang that's a bummer. But i just looked at mine and it defaults to wherever you chose to install to application, if you uninstall/reinstall instead pointing the application to a different drive it would then store the website along with the application on that drive instead. Not ideal considering…
