Are you talking about migrating 4.2.x, or is this something newer? If it's something newer it's just another SQL DB.

We have so many hardware sensors turned on that it's actually the biggest table in our DB and impacts performance. So, yeah - this does matter.

I'll be watching updates on this, but did you run the installer as a local admin?

We have, and it required updating the agent on the Proliants themselves.

Reports are looked for in Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Reports .Make sure even if you have a custom report, you save it there. Good news is that any modifications to that report you've "saved" in report writer are still preserved, so just move the file to that folder and you're good.

I've been asking ding​ as we have the same scenario at my workplace. Tagging jeff.stewart as well. Last time I inquired about this I was told that they aren't supporting other CDR's yet which is a huge letdown (as they're all just passing raw JSON data). I wonder if tdanner​ would have interest in getting some devs to look…

To answer your question directly on some NOC views other people have made: Show us a NOC view and get 500 thwack points! For "how to make a NOC view", see below. NOC views are more simple than they sound. Here's how you create them: Steps: * Take an existing view/create a view * Click customize (top right, requires your…

I'm kinda curious at the same time - what monitoring of azure is/can be done via powershell? Can we get statuses, server loads, etc? I have been waiting for the SAM agent to get metrics, under the (apparently/possibly wrong) impression that you can't really see how Azure VM's are doing if you're using powershell to do it?

Step 1: Have you set the bandwidth for the interface in NTA? Did it auto-detect correctly meaning you put a bandwidth statement on the interface? Was it set to 1mb/s and/or 1gb/s and it happens to be neither?

I just realized we lost something: going to a product forum only loads the last 5 discussions by default. What gives? Example: if I go to Server & Application Monitor Why is recent content trimmed to 5 posts?

What we're working on appears to be gone from the homepage, and is quite important.

cobrien​ serena photos don't load, but I've got two sets of 7k -> dual 5ks -> FEX (2 physical locations). I ran the CLI stuff for you and also did the SNMPWalk on each of the two 7K's. Just uploaded.

In all humor/irony, you probably need full manage nodes admin. another need for needing granular permissions models. I've noticed a similar issue though, maybe jiri.tomek‌ can explain or help. I always found WPM permissions to be wonky at a minimum.

To not get packet loss on the child nodes, you need to go into settings -> polling settings llinteau12​ In there find the following and make sure it's not checked - is this checked right now? "ALLOW ALERT ACTIONS FOR UNMANAGED OBJECTS"

holding back, waiting for other people to report errors. We've already had to do hotfixes with 10.4 problems , so I'm going to wait on this one.

I'd also look at this steve.cabot​ - https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-171232#start=175 - google maps overlay into the map + then you can pull in weather

Thresholds in SAM are based on the thresholds on either the individual server's monitoring template (as for anything other than appinsight), or in the special case of AppInsight for SQL based on the appinsight for SQL template which is applied to all servers. If you do not want a warning or critical threshold by which the…

Are you looking to monitor an end-users machine directly? Do you want to look at QOE for slowness from the perspective of the network? Do you want to netpath from a machine -> zoom? Do you want netflow traffic to identify the sources and destinations of traffic? Are you hosting zoom locally ala On-Premise Deployment - Zoom…

Hmm. Here's a resource that I've never looked at before. It looks like it is definitive for explicitly the object you are looking at. So read into the word object very, very carefully. An object can be a node, an interface, an application, etc. The active alert on the node could be from an interface or application template…

The official advice from solarwinds is more specific actually - always install as a local administrator - not domain admin.

Easiest step one is to open a ticket and gather diagnostics. You could look at deployment health and see if there's anything. You could also check how your DB is doing and whether it's overloaded.

Tools other than NPM within the solarwinds suite are one way to accomplish this. External nodes in NPM are not polled. WPM can do this in some ways, SAM can do this in some ways.

Where are you looking? Are you looking from settings -> manage nodes or from a node tree?

There absolutely is a node variable of location for my environment, so I'll just have to hunt out how it can be referenced. It may be a SWIS object instead of is just $value. I'll validate in a sec after my atlas loads. Not sure if it's custom property or what, let me check. There was an article similar to this regarding…

Yes. Go to "manage nodes" and then on the left side choose "group by" and select any identifiable object you have already defined. You can select custom properties if you are separating groups of objects by that fashion, or unmanage a parent if you are creating parent -> child group relationships. Manage nodes and manage…

I think this goes hand in hand with the need for data warehousing and corresponding FR. This is pretty much a part of it. Bonus link:

Sounds like the points system is either a finicky beast or a monstrosity

Hmm. Digging a little. If we can find a way to link the resource there may be a general way to see it. This is definitely tied to an API call on some level, I see Orion.ThresholdsNames and Orion.Thresholds being associated with this, along with a few charts. I'd ask some SDK folks. Feeling slightly inspired, I've created…

there is a capacity forecast report, and you can create a duplicate report to filter to your target (suggest duplication)

I also want to see ​ happen as well. Effectively, I want a way to view every component's individual SWQL query so that I can learn/create my own custom equivalent. I don't want to have to flag hubble on/off to do this.
