Depending on your environment another option could be to wipe the Primary Polling Engine and perform a fresh install as all the data is safe in the SQL dB on a seperate Server. Just make sure you are 100% writing to the right SQL Database before you do anything

This is fairly rough, and if I had the time I would make it cleaner but it should at least get you started: SELECTvm.Name AS [Name],vm.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Name],CONCAT(ROUND(AVG(vm.VMStatistics.AvgCPULoad),2),' %') AS [AVG CPU Load],CONCAT(ROUND(vm.MemUsage,2), ' %') AS [Memory Usage],CONCAT(ROUND(vm.CpuLoad,2), ' %')…

New Link from SC: Alert Email does not contain top 10 processes

CPU / Memory is collected based on your Statistical Polling Rate - Default 10 Minutes.

Agreed - If you have adjusted the polling frequency then that will impact polling rate. Check in the Polling Engine page under Settings - All Settings - Polling Engines and look at the total Element count. If the count is below 12,000 and you still have high NPM Polling Rate then the problem is your polling thresholds.…

Hi bharris if you are on 12.1 then your Licences are stored within the Orion Web Portal under All Settings > Licence Manager. The reason for two documents is that SolarWinds used to have an application that was installed locally on the Orion server to manage licenses (It was called SolarWinds Licence Manager) but that has…

I'm pretty sure 12.2 was the first true bundle installer, 12.1 still needed modules, but they have re-released it as a bundle installer just recently.

I would highly recommend you create a DNS Alias that you setup outside of your Solarwinds HA which in turn points to the HA DNS Name. That way you can control the re-direct later on if required such as putting traps into a dedicated log server etc. Both NetFlow and SNMP Traps should be configurable to a hostname, but it…

Whichever server is acting as the Primary will ensure that the second server doesn't take over until it is fully ready to do so (Assuming you have that configured). If your primary server fails and your secondary takes over it will resume polling all your devices and storing the data in the database. In the event that the…

Thanks rschroeder it's always nice to hear other real-world use case examples and success stories Sure help's the rest of us make an informed decision.

As long as there is some sort of unique identifier, maybe they are divided by IP Range or Subnet? Otherwise, it wouldn't take long to manually assign the CP to all your Nodes as you can update CP's in bulk.

Off the top of my head, another possible way around it would be to set up 3 ICMP Only Nodes with the 3 IP's, and then set up an Alert that says IF All 3 Nodes are unreachable / down then set the status of Node X (Your Main Management Node) to Down. Trigger: Action: Again you could then put those 3 ICMP Nodes into a Group…

Just spotted my own mistake there on privilege ! Sorry ! So used to just typing priv. Here is a test script I just created and used. I hope this helps. Regards David

Like this?

The Enhanced Node Status means it could be one of many Child Contributors causing your overall Node status to be Critical. If you mouseover the Node in Manage Nodes it should tell you which element is causing the issue. If could be anything from CPU or Memory Threshold breach, Interface Down or Threshold breach, Hardware…

Hi aussiem65​ this is within SolarWinds not the device itself, do you have access to the alert to show me the alert trigger conditions? This alert is normally based on Status rather than a Trap/Syslog event.

The way the Analyzer alert integration works is your basically creating an event-driven alert. So LA triggers an event and your alert is looking for that event, there isn't an option to add a delay in this scenario. The only workaround for this would be to write a Custom SWQL/SQL Alert to reference you conditions directly…

The wizard probably appears if it's the first time your user account has gone into Sonar, but once you get past the wizard it will show you ANY Discoveries that have been set up and what the Frequency is (Manual means it's not scheduled and was just a one time scan)

Next step is to tag those interfaces with a custom property and use the CP to filter on which will simplify your filter query

You could set a custom property flag for ServerB monitoring, so that if the Node, Application or Component are flagged as DR then the alert will be ignored. The only catch is you will need a trigger to remove that flag in the event ServerA is down and the DR is active. You could use an alert action to change the custom…

No, if you spin a new instance of SAM it will be stand-alone so new Database and new IIS Site. The best you could do is add a Hyper link to the SAM system.

Sorry - Copy and Paste only works from the Config Change Report, not from the "Compare Nodes" window.

Ok, if you go back a directory to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSSQLSERVER\MSSQL - There should be a folder called Backup, is there any files in there? Even if they are older files you might be able to get some data back up and running? The other question is, what are the other two SolarWinds MDF files in…

To be fair this is documented in the release notes. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/Content/LM/LA-Orion-Log-Viewer.htm * Upon installation, the Orion Log Viewer replaces the legacy Syslog and Trap Viewers, existing Syslog and traps messages are only available in read-only format, and…

100% Voted Up - I have a total of 24 Application Servers (Including APE's & AWS's) and as you can imagine a total application shutdown can take as long as 20-25 minutes, especially as 2 of the servers, are in a DMZ so I have to go via a Citrix Jumpbox to get to them. I created a 'crude' PowerShell script that stops all the…

We have a custom property that defines the state of a device such as Production, Pre-Production, Test, Dev, UAT but we include Decommissioned/Retired in that because otherwise we could be investigating errors for devices that are being removed. in terms of bulk editing I would go down the Export/Import route via Custom…

Why don't you bulk edit all the older nodes CP with a fictitious value, which you can then update over time? That way you can setup the alert to catch new nodes otherwise your constantly chasing your tail.

Ah Ok no worries

Oh no I didn't get a notification I heard about it from another community member. My lab is already on 12.5, when I tried yesterday to Check for Updates within the Orion console, it told me there was an update available. I tried to perform that update today but it appears that it is no longer available. Even the offline…
