Thanks Donald, Glad I'm not the only one having this problem makes me feel a bit better about sitting here for the last two days manually ammending all my entries :( I am surprised that there isn't some way to tie the SNMP Name together I could understand if I had made a forced name change to the Node Caption ID, but…

Hi sceritz​, I have marked the response from zackm​ as correct for you as it hits the nail on the head. Getting the logic right is sometimes confusing. I often prefer to use the "Scope of Alert" section if I want to include/exclude items. This leaves the Trigger Condition clear for just the event that has to occur for the…

Hi ccandido so if you goto your Alert and go to the Trigger Actions tab - Then Add Action. You will see an option for "Set Custom Status" From this screen, you can choose which Status you want the Node to be changed to. You can also select a specific node that gets changed, which you could use as a traffic light node to…

Some clarification: Purge config cache data from the database

Failing the above have you checked that your database maintenance is running Ok?

You could even go one step further than that if you liked by using a CASE Statement: CASE WHEN AlertActive.AcknowledgedNote IS NULL THEN AlertObjects.AlertNote ELSE AlertActive.AcknowledgedNote END AS [Notes]

Just did this on Friday, and as aLTeReGo mentioned you just need create a new player. The example I had the customer used the Orion Application server as the player.

If you wanted a second copy, you could try setting up an additional NCM Scheduled Job to Export Config Files to the secondary location.

You need to include in the WHERE Statement something similar to: WHERE n.NodeID = ${NodeID}

You should probably log these as a Feature Request here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/idb-p/npm-feature-requests

Hi @"rschroeder" there is an excellent Widget in the SolarWinds Admin View posted by @"mesverrum" - It was part of the post ofr ViewImporter. It shows Alert Failures. I used this to find an alert that had an incorrect email address and was failing.

I’m not in front of my system right now so can’t show you a screenshot or code example, but my users also struggle with the Search function in SolarWinds in that it’s fine for searching IP or Caption of a Node and even Interface caption. I created a dedicated view which has a custom query widget and used SWQL to allow them…

Thanks for the feedback @"tony.johnson" I look forward to more testing. question from me - as a concept how do SW vision these dashboard would be used? As NOC type read only pages which are used to spotlight issues, with drill down pages going into either Classic views or details views? I think this will vary the…

So like mentioned by Neo there could be various different reasons. 1) The Login/Password provided isn't valid on that device 2) The device as ACL's that prevent your connection from SolarWinds 3) There are Firewall's in the path between poller and device which prevent TCP/22.

The short answer is yes, you can (and probably should) have all the Orion modules installed on the same server. Just bear in mind that if you previously had a dedicated server running NTA and NTA SQL DB then you might not be able to merge them together. Also if the IP Address of your existing NTA Server is going to change…

It’s not currently possible but sounds like a good idea for a feature request! If you create a custom query in your report it reduces the information in that section.

We are still not fully in production yet, but we had an issue with some of our US - London Links and I was asked to try and put something together fairly quickly. Still turned out not to bad, even managed to get the IPSLA Operation charted in PerfStack which looks pretty cool! A work in progress I admit, but filled the…

Hi Steve, This is totally doable but you just need to do it in the right sequence. As long as your prepared to be without the majority of your APE's for the delta between your Phase 1 and Phase 2 upgrade, as once you upgrade the MPE and 2 APE's all your other APE's will stop working. So if you shut down the 24 servers you…

Excellent effort @"cscoengineer" I'm going to steal this for sure. @"mesverrum" I like the GitHub repository idea, that is an excellent way to share these little nuggets without having to go through the hassle of trawling the forums.

Q1 - My company relied on a 3rd party for this information, and had no visual dashboards. SolarWinds was mid-deployment when COVID kicked in so now we are running some temp dashboards setup in anger to help support the remote workforce as best as possible, but it's already been a great help to the support teams.

A few questions if I can! 1. Does this mean existing Summary views will be able to be edited in this new Manage Dashboards menu and will they will be admin restricted initially. 2. Is there going to be an option in the account screen similar to Orion Maps to enable or disable this feature per account or group if needed? 3.…

Is anyone able to confirm if this still works? I notice that the _Layout.cshtml isn't the same, and I've tried inserting something with no job

Ahh after spending around 6 hours upgrading to 2019.4 I got excited until I read the restriction for Offline environments We have a proxy server that has access to SolarWinds for customer portal etc will that allow the prestaging 

All I can say is "Hasta la vista, Atlas”. I was sceptical when the first iteration was released but hats off to all the team involved in getting to this stage including the many customers who provided feedback & UX sessions.

Amazing - Thanks for the write up @"aLTeReGo" I look forward to getting this upgraded and making use of it. One question - Please tell me you've added something into the 'Manage Nodes' screen so that I can more easily "bulk" edit volumes?

2019.4 introduced OLV (Orion Log Viewer) which replaces the legacy Trap & Syslog viewer but they remain in place in read only mode for now.

Hi @"ChrystalT" , Thank you for the reports, one piece of feedback is that it would be nice to see some example screenshots with these reports so we know what to expect before we upload it.

Thanks @"tony.johnson" - On the edge of my seat

So the quick answer is yes. It just depends on how down and dirty you want to get. Technically you could go to Manage Nodes and select any devices you don't want to monitor anymore and DELETE them. That will remove them from the system and any historical data related to them will be purged from the DB. You could then run a…

If you share what you have so far, we can try to help you out.
