What files did they supply you, I applied a buddy drop today, with a sql query and a dll with the name Solarwinds.cortexplugin.vman, replaced it on all my pollers. The memory consumption of this service has dwindled tremendously.

I’m unable to access the configuration console, I get the page cannot be displayed. I tried rebooting the appliance but that didn’t seem to help…

Hi Serena What I really wanted was a custom pie chart where our vm team can click on the sections or the legend of the chart to drill down into the different sections. Since there isn't a custom pie chart and the field I'm querying on isn't available via swql I had to go the route of a custom sql query and building the URL…

Hi Lucas Thanks for the response and that will work!!!! I appreciate it!!! I used the following query to finish it up: SELECT HostStatus, '<p><a href=""https://vim.humana.com/Orion/View.aspx?NetObject=VH:'+ convert(nvarchar, HostID)+'"">'+[HostName]+'</a></p> ' AS [DetailsURL] FROM [dbo].[VIM_Hosts] where…

Hi Serena it appears this link you provided is restricted, could you verify the link?

Hi Dan thanks for the response, yeah that's the post I was referring to in my original post. It didn't seem to work for me, do I need to wait some time before the changes would take effect from following the directions in the post? The thresholds I'm wanting to do a bulk change are the CPU and Memory, metric type 1 and 2,…

Just to add to this discussion, I attempted an upgrade yesterday and wasn't aware of the new in memory tables either, come to find out our DBA found that this was a feature in our DB that wasn't allowed, long story short I had to restore from back and enable in memory on the DB side and then the upgrade went successfully.…

Thanks that's excellent!!!! Not sure why this isn't built into the product though?!?! Do you know how I could limit the list to only devices that are over there threshold(s)? I would also like to use the Nodes Grouping to be able to group these by a couple custom properties, any ideas?

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the response Chad. Here is more details for my problem, I have 10 servers that have 80 application pools on the IIS server, customer on wants to monitor 10 of these app pools. Is there a way I can programmatically disable the unwanted app pools on these 10 servers so I won't have to spend a day doing it…

Thanks mesverrum that's awesome. Which widget are you utilizing for this query or is it also a custom page?

Hi Steven thanks for the response, I tried that and it doesn’t work either.

No explanation at all. Yeah it was the performance polling, worse thing was we lost almost 2 days of these metrics due to a "glitch" and support not being provided the proper information to troubleshoot the issue. This was a 2 minute fix. 

This is too awesome, and a perfect solution for something that should be already built in to the product. Thanks for your work!!!!!

I was informed today by support that dev decided to NOT enable support for server 2012, can we convince the customer to switch to new servers? My thoughts.....Sure that's easy, we only have 20 servers, with firewalls, ACL's, etc..., gimme about 30 minutes and we'll switch them over.........

Not sure what your issue is, but yes we've had huge issues since upgrading, the cortex service is hammering the DB server causing massive issues. If you have a large environment I wouldn't recommend upgrading. Support advised to update to the latest RC, when attempting to do that I received an error that my OS isn't…

I went ahead and put in a idea for this please vote if you think it would be helpful: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/10454

I looked again, I guess it must be something that was over looked in the product, here is my lazy admin solution, this will also create an email, via outlook, to send to someone who wants the last 90 days cpu and memory info for a list of nodes that have a custom property with a specific value: #Get list of nodes with…

Ok so I tracked down my own answer. I was incorrect above in saying it was changing the ForecastCapacity table, it was actually only a view. The thresholds are actually being changed in the Thresholds table. Does anyone know which SWQL table maps to the sql table dbo.Thresholds? 

Being the lazy admin, here is my solution: invoke-command -computer mypoller -scriptblock {Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\StopNetPerfMon.exe" -ArgumentList "-startall" -Verb Open -Wait}

Just curious, did this feature request ever happen or can anyone provide any swql to find this info? I've looked in the fileshares table and there is a free and used capacity but it appears to me that this information is for the volume, unless by chance all the shares I see are the same size, I guess that is possible....

Hi cooperdustin12 I'm with ya with the out of box, from my experience its very common to have come up with custom scripts to fill in the voids of solarwinds products. Concerning your script, but you don't have a exit code in your script. I'm not sure if this would cause you intermittent issues or not. Chris

To anyone else who'd like to know this info: SELECT c.ViewGroup,c.ViewTitle,a.[ResourceID] ,[PropertyName] ,[PropertyValue] FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[ResourceProperties] a join SolarWindsOrion.dbo.Resources b on a.resourceid = b.resourceid join SolarWindsOrion.dbo.Views c on b.viewid = c.viewid where PropertyValue like…

Hi Serena, yes this is what I'm trying to accomplish, just don't know the syntax...

Does SAM have a limit for the amount of components in an application? I was manually adding some components and it said nothing over 10, but if I use the manage components doo dad, which I just found out about about today, face smack X100 and kick in the buttocks X1000, it seems I can add much more than 10. Maybe I found a…
