Hi, I work for a Solarwinds Partner so my exam experience is slightly different but the subscription model does state that you get 1 SCP Exam & 1 re-take so I'm not sure on the 3 attempts cal.smith or nan will have to answer that one.

Probably time to raise a support case then if you haven't already!

Out of the 5000 points available, they were broken into sections: Register, Explore, RSVP, Attend, Share & Next Year. 1900 of the points were given up front just for signing up and sharing etc. The remaining 3100 were for attendance events. So you will most likely already have been given the original 1900 points after you…

I was wondering about this also as I already have an academy account under a different email.

Sorry, but you can't put Thin AP's onto an Orion Map as they don't actually exist as Elements in your Orion system. Basically, you are polling the Wireless Controller for a particular OID which gives back the Status of the "Registered" AP's at that time. The WLC is the one doing all the work here as the WLC holds the AP…

My friend you have already posted your own thread and in other threads about this, try not to spam it, I believe you had had a response already on one thread, so you don't want to start getting multiple discussions from different people.

NetPath Probes require Windows OS as it uses the SolarWinds Agent - Here are the requirements - NetPath requirements

Hi Derek, Like mesverrum mentioned there isn't any known integration tool, but it might be worth reaching out to SolarWinds, as they did originally build an integration into the installer as mentioned around 7.3 to bring the two stand-alone databases into one. So the legwork was completed already and might be something…

Thanks mesverrum I did pretty much the same thing, but without the detailed explanation so great job Not sure what happened with my screenshot, maybe because I was on my MacBook at the time?

From what I have heard it is going to sit somewhere between the Loggily product currently in the Cloud portfolio and LEM, so it will consolidate SysLog/Traps, and other event logs. I believe it will be SolarWinds approach to cut into the Splunk market, but to what extent I wouldn't guess. Wednesday is going to be exciting,…

Yes - Use the Real-Time Process Monitor which can be found in the "Node Management" Widget of your Node Details page.

If this is your Primary Polling Engine (As in the core server) then the product does install SQL Compact Edition as part of the product regardless which option you choose. If you choose Express it will also install SQL Server Express Edition. If you choose Standard it will not, and you will have to select an existing SQL…

Hi ryan.davis26 So a few things: 1. Account Limitations are not applied to the report when you build it, but when you schedule it. On the Scheduler Properties tab, you will find an 'Advanced Settings' pop-down menu, which gives you the ability to select the User Account Limitations that should be applied to the report when…

Hi Gareth, A custom table or Custom Query would be your best result - you just need to tune your data source or use SQL/SWQL. What exactly do you want the table to look like? VM Name | Last Hour AVG | Memory Usage | CPU Load If you used Custom SQL/SWQL you could use a Case statement that changes a status indicator from…

Hi yes NodeID is unique to your Solarwinds instance so my warning was more along the lines of moving maps from one instance to another or even if you delete nodes since the time you exported the map.

Hi, If you decided to upgrade prior to migration you would be able to use the 12.1 installers to bring your products up to the latest supported (which are correctly listed in your post) and to confirm for you DPA (Which is the DPA Integration Module) IVIM (Which is the Virtualization Integration), QoE and NetPath are all…

If you have that many servers I would suggest you ask your Server team to create a common local administrator account/password on all of them which you can then use within SolarWinds.

Hi gidem thanks for the reply. I can't help with the In-Place Upgrade as I've never had to do that particular scenario, but I could potentially try and lab it out for you with some time. Depends on how much of a rush you are in. Personally, I would do the following (depending on the allotted amount of downtime your…

Try this

The drag and drop is to enable you to move actions around within the different Escalation levels. As mentioned by mesverrum the actions are all fired at the same time so there isn't a strict order within each Escalation level. I suspect you've just got lucky with other alerts that the NCM Action has completed first and…

Are you able to provide any additional insight as to your resolution in the event anyone has a similar problem in the future?

Hi xpowels Try this: SELECT n.Caption AS 'Host Name','<a href="thwack.solarwinds.com/.../View.aspx + CAST(v.VolumeID AS varchar(256)) + '" style="font-size:100%">' + v.caption + '</a>' AS 'Volume' ,CONVERT(NVARCHAR(50), ROUND(v.VolumeSpaceUsed/1024/1024/1024,2)) + ' GB' AS 'Used' ,CONVERT(NVARCHAR(50),…

The main reason for services to stop in IPAM is due to the license being out of maintenance as it's not renewed etc, or something that was added and is now down got error's thus it's notifying you of them. IPAM is a Core Module, so once it's installed it will integrate itself with the Orion Core Platform, and thus there…

Hi mortimersnurd you are correct if the device is in an unmanaged state then it will not be polled and will not create any alerts or collect any statistical data. If you are looking for a way to have the devices monitored so that in the event that they become active that you create a specific custom property that you can…

Surely the only problem will be that you're not monitoring those transactions at all during that period, or was that the objective?

Hi kevin.adams@dimensiondata.com There are some Interface reports included with NPM but if you can't find one you like then you can create one from scratch and use the Custom Table to populate the fields you need. Here is an example I knocked up: 1) Create a New Report in Web Reporter 2) Select Custom Table (Or Chart if…

In most scenario's I've found that what the engineer is asking is for packet loss across a circuit or trunk from end to end. As mentioned by @"mesverrum" we can provide Packet Loss from the Poller to the Node by measuring the ICMP Echo response time and P/L but for true circuit monitoring the company would need to deploy…
