Couldn't you do this with a poller transform?
-
I still don't know if the connectivity I described can be made to work. Meanwhile, since I had a Raspberry Pi sitting around, I loaded up Debian Freedombox. No messing with config files required...just a few clicks and Privoxy was available to anything that could be pointed that way. Now investigating whether I want to use…

If you are talking about Cisco devices and you run CDP in your network, you can create a custom poller for CDP neighbor. That information could be sent along with an alert. I would think implementing dependencies might be a more streamlined way to get this information, but it can be useful to poll CDP info for this and…

Seems possible: SQL Server: REPLACE Function SQL Server: STUFF Function I'm not at work to try this, but looks like it would work.

Don't suppose you have DPA module, do you? https://www.solarwinds.com/database-performance-analyzer

On my installation, this seems to be where global changes should be made. If this was a lab install I could confirm (alas I can't): ...\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\Controls\NetObjectPicker.ascx If not this, most likely another ascx file.

I ran into this issue Friday. I couldn't add any more email recipients in my alert. I hated all the efforts going in to each individual alert with the same recipients. There seemed to be a limitation of around 230 characters for the To: and Cc: and Bcc: fields. I ended up creating three custom properties of that size and…

Perhaps display your information as a chart: Font size Filtering your chart seems possible based on this: Custom Chart "Filter results" options missing when using a SWQL/SQL Query as Data Source There are some feature requests for this. Feel free to vote:

Is your web browser on an operating system that believes it's time zone is Website is on UTC -8? If not, does setting your PC's time to UTC -6 fix your issue?

Not sure of the model, but I've monitored Enviromux sensors via Universal Device Poller.

If you had a report or query against a nodes table, it would be trivial to add to the end GROUP BY A,B,C,D where A,B,C,D are each a property (custom or native).
-
Here is a document describing how this can be done, but as of 12.3 (your version), there has been some pain. Sharing nonetheless. A feature request might be useful. People would vote. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-187980

These guys did it seven years ago (obviously not with Windows 2012). Nothing seems like an obstacle to working on newer versions of Windows (at a quick glance): https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/32366

Report writer GUI seems unable to handle a report like I typically need. I can do about 70% via GUI and then add one too many conditions...CRASH. I've become accustomed to working around the issue by creating what I can and saving often. Then take the resulting report and expose underlying SQL. Continue adding additional…

As folks are pointing out, using both read and read/write can confound your troubleshooting efforts. Get one working and determine what the issue was (remove the other from the credentials for the node). Potentially same issue affecting the other. They would both have to be right for the test button to pass. I can see…

Do these SNMPv3 credentials work via SNMPwalk from poller? If not, are you seeing any log entries indicating an issue? Also, from my experience, valid credentials seemed never to work after the first click of the 'TEST' button. I don't believe additional tests accomplish anything. Seems I always had to navigate away from…

You could create a report: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Create_an_account_activity_report_for_Orion_Web_Console_users Alternatively, you could explore the AudtingEvents table in the database directly using Database Manager or SQL Server Management Studio. If you look at…

I would run the SNMPwalk.exe program in your Orion installation folder. Run Wireshark on the Orion server and capture the traffic. Is the SNMP reply even coming back? Any data in it? Any authentication or encryption failures (if SNMPv3)? Check logs of device you're trying to monitor and validate that the SNMP…

You could make telnet act like SSH2. Steps *similar* to these. Pretty obvious where the differences are but post back if you don't find that to be true:…

Not time-period based, but: If you want to suppress alert actions until a specified number of traps arrive that match the rule, click Trigger Threshold, select Define a Trigger Threshold for this Rule, and then enter option values as appropriate.…

I don't see why you would need to get into SQL queries to do this. I alert on custom pollers without doing so (disclaimer: I don't know SQL). Here's an example...my custom poller for DHCP leases. Note that where I have "is less than" you could just as easily make it "contains":

I did exactly that when we opted not to use Failover Engine. For that matter, NetQoS and Cacti also polled the devices (along with both SolarWinds deployments). No gotchas, but certainly an investment in time compared to an automatically synchronized setup (with SQL log shipping). In the latter case, it's an investment in…

Are your maps showing things in ways that you can't otherwise show? Or that need to be shown as maps? I ask because you can do a lot with groups. I had map upkeep headaches but had the benefit of such discipline in the environment with naming conventions that grouping flowed really well. I created summary pages of groups…

This thread can be pretty helpful in learning what others have done. Inspires me when doing dashboards: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/58232 Which modules do you have?

How long do you envision making your presentation? Make sure you bring pizza.

Put the pair in a group and set the group to show best case status.

How much ICMP traffic is being sent from SolarWinds to your Nexus core Switches? Curious how/ why it's too much. In any case, you could configure your Nexus core switches to send relevant traps to your SolarWinds server. This could offset the delay in catching issues due to increasing polling intervals, assuming your traps…

No need for a report. I would recommend adding an 'All Nodes' resource (of whichever flavor you prefer). Then add a filter Unmanaged='True' in the field 'Filter Nodes (SQL)'
-
Should be in the database in Nodes table (via Database Manager in RDP session to app server or SQL Management Studio wherever your database lives). Most likely the last entry. In any case, you'll see everything as limitations don't apply in that context. Disclaimer--SolarWinds will strongly discourage direct editing of the…
