There it is!!! Thanks.

This is wonderful news!!!

I do agree. Having come through the very difficult days of upgrades ~10 years ago, the centralized tool has worked very well for us. I wasn't thrilled about using the offline installer, but my situation put me to centralized anyway so I can't comment on its effectiveness. I do wish that they'd give you the option in the…

I downloaded the full ISO and went to run that on my MPE. It told me that I already had an active upgrade session and to go to the web console central update dialog. I presume that was because I already downloaded 2025.4.3 and it was showing as ready to install. Going that route it successfully upgraded to 2025.4.3. Didn't…

Thanks. I looked and the staging process has downloaded a bunch of .cab, .msi, and .exe files specific to 2025.4.3, but I also pulled down and staged the full ISO just to be sure. The new centralized update tool has been good for us the last few updates, but I suspect it'll act like the online installer and pull the most…

Add me to the "Q4 not showing the current correct answer" bandwagon. Looks like the question should be rephrased, maybe to specify a time period. Even if I pick Thursday, the two servers aren't an available answer.

Agree. This one's not good.

I'll bump this. Very necessary. Why it isn't there I have no idea.

I think the wording of the question is backwards and that's what is causing confusion. IMO it would read better as "What are the .... requirements for database software in the cloud".

"is the network down?" "no the network is all fine" then told "try it now"

Regarding APEs, As someone who just did this, I agree with aLTeReGo. In hindsight it would be easier to just create new APE(s) at the new version and just move nodes to them. Regarding the DB server, I'd do that migration and/or upgrade first to get to supported OS and SQLServer versions. I did mine in advance, separate…

It's on the page linked in the hint. Just camouflaged a bit.

Ditto. I think it is pretty clear what the correct response(s) is/are, but this has "Gotcha" written all over it.

Same here. No green checky check.

Wrong after reset. This question's certainly far from one of the better ones put out there.

I like it. Keep everyone on their toes!!!

Finally got my upgrade completed today. One bump in the road, namely that we had trialed Log Analyzer and the license expired. The installer wouldn't let me deactivate the license or bypass the product within the installer. It did provide a handy link to renew if I wanted to, though. I had to deactivate the license…

Filthy stuff.

@"KMSigma.SWI" Ah a development monitoring environment. The stuff that dreams are made of.....

Never knew it existed

Great info from @"KMSigma.SWI" and @"adatole" as always in the video. Sounds like the conversations I have almost daily. Always nice to know you aren't alone. I do agree if the question was "How many questions are monitoring engineers REALLY asked?" that'd be good wording. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

That was my thinking, that getting customer permission wouldn't necessarily be difficult, especially if you are promising them additional data breach protection. In reality, you "can" extend it to anyone.

@"KMSigma.SWI" I've got an upgrade to the latest and greatest Orion modules on deck for next week. Certainly also interested in hearing if anyone has substantial feedback on it or the process of getting to it (good and bad, not that I expect anything bad). Our catalyst is getting current. We're running 2019.4 and seeing…

Yeah, besides an odd job here or there, I spent about 10 years through high school and college (and a little beyond) working for a small family owned catering and rental operation. I always say it was the best job I ever had that I never want to do again, particularly the foodservice aspect of it. I learned so much about…

Dynamically generated traffic maps/Visual Firewall connection mapping

In short, yes. The first migration/upgrade I did with Orion, maybe 18 months ago, I kept the same names and IPs but they were new servers so I did the rename/re-ip dance. I considered doing that in this most recent upgrade but for other internal reasons I decided to go with new names/new IPs. That process was also…

I've been evaluating various methods of migrating/upgrading my SolarWinds environment. I have a primary and one APE (Windows 2012) with a standard set of Orion products (Orion Platform 2018.2 HF6, WPM 2.2.2, SRM 6.6.0, NCM 7.8, CloudMonitoring 2.0.1, NPM 12.3, DPAIM 11.1.0, VMAN 8.2.1 HF1, UDT 3.3.1, SAM 6.7.0, NetPath…

My initial reaction for you here would be yes, what you are trying to do could be done over time. There shouldn't be any issue running some APEs at 2012 and some at 2019. I think what I'd do in your case at a very high level is to stand up a new 2019 server, install a new APE on that server using your current Orion version…

Great write-up. One thing just to chime in, I got similar connectivity "issues" or "warnings" both during our upgrade and our latest hotfix application (which I got done yesterday). Regarding the hotfixes, the pre-flight check said my APE couldn't be centrally upgraded due to "product inconsistencies". I talked to support…

Northeast. Metro NY/NJ would be great!!
