Hi, aussiem65 it really depends on your alert trigger conditions. By default, if your looking for any interface with a down status, then you would get an alert as soon as the down interface is added to SolarWinds. Could it be you are only looking for specific Nodes or Interfaces, and that's why you're not getting any…

Manage Dependencies is an Admin action with the All Settings > Node & Group Settings, so I doubt that without that elevation of access they will be able to manage them. I suspect that would need to be a feature request to add "Manage Dependency" Yes/No from the account permission screen similar to that of Manage Node. I…

Hi reved.bonnell​ hopefully these screenshots will help - For the purpose of demonstration, I had an old Port-Channel which I was monitoring in SolarWinds, but it has been deleted by another engineer and as such is showing as Unknown. 1) This screenshot shows my lab switch and the description shows that there is a…

I had this the other day and thought it was just me, I couldn’t find an image verification just text verification.

Hi Alex, Firstly don't panic you've come to the right place! So just to clarify Windows Server 2008 is no longer supported so you would need an upgraded application server. Server 2012 & SQL 2012 are being pulled so whilst they will work it would be advisable to go for 2016 or later for both. There are various opinions as…

Hi jmuller​, Firstly welcome to the Thwack, and sorry to see that your upgrade is such a rubbish one. My first question would be to ask if there is any specific reason you're dedicated to upgrading the database? The only reason I ask is that NPM10.4 is pretty fundamental, and has had a MAJOR overhaul in the later versions.…

HTTPS Monitor would be good, AppInsight is fairly heavy for a simple website monitor. Otherwise you could setup something in NetPath?

Hi nan thanks for the update. Can I ask, does this mean that each individual product exam extends the overall SCP Expiry date, similar to Cisco exams, or will each product have individual expiry dates? For example, you take NPM in 2018, then SAM in 2019, and NCM in 2020. Does NPM still expire in 2021 or does it get…

You will most likely find that these events are in the NetPerfMon events naturally. Check to see if they are there and what node they register against. Can you show an example of the Event your seeing?

Why don't you just copy the data to your test environment and run it locally on the same server as it's only going to be for a short period it should be Ok? You would need to backup and import your existing production database into the test system as well so that the flow data is correlated to your Nodes, otherwise, you…

Pretty poor show to run such a large migration without any notice for the massive community that rely on that site. I'm sure this has caused an uptick in trouble tickets to tech support!

Hey Deltona​ that page was working yesterday as I was on it, and my Orion system showed me there was an update available for my Orion (within the Web Console) but today the link is locked and my Orion tells me it's already up to date. I suspect the document has been pulled by SolarWinds

Mainly the SAM Components are best suited to a Local/Domain Administrator account on the machine, so you could create a single service account with Domain Admin and use it on all your machines. However, AppInsight for Exchange and AppInsight for SQL require some additional permissions which you might want to split out into…

If the device is monitored within SolarWinds could you not set up an alert for "Last Boot has changed"

Hi rohit.rana so this would be a server migration as per the SolarWinds Success Center: Migrate SolarWinds Orion products to a new server with a new IP and hostname - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Suppo… Personally I would consider trying to keep the IP Address, as changing the IP Address may require changes to ACL's…

The problem isn't with the alert it's with your polling engine. The alert is correctly telling you that the nodes on that polling engine are not being correctly polled, because the polled data isn't being written back into the database. You need to repair the APE or move the Nodes to a polling engine that is working. As…

The Custom SWQL Query of an Alert has it's own pre-defined SELECT Statement at the top which is: SELECT Nodes.Uri, Nodes.DisplayName FROM Orion.Nodes AS Nodes Try making the below query the below: INNER JOIN Orion.NPM.Interfaces I ON Nodes.NodeID = I.NodeIDWHERE Nodes.Caption LIKE '%-CGX' AND ((I.Caption = '1' AND I.Status…

Custom Properties are the answer. If you create a Volume CP and apply the appropriate value/threshold then you can add that to your alert logic. Based on your example maybe something like: Volume - Percent Used - Is equal to or greater than - 90 % AND Volume - Available Space - Is less than - Volume Custom Property sorry…

Hi wdavon24 sorry I did reply originally, but I think I misunderstood the question so I removed it until I had time to re-type my answer. In your scenario you would need to do something like the following: Alert On: Application Scope of Alert: All Objects Trigger Conditions: Application - Status - is equal to - Down and…

Hi Greg, Is it possible that you have a scheduled discovery setup which scans this device, but you have the public string higher in the priority order than the current string? Like this: In the above scenario, SolarWinds would be scanning your device every time that discovery runs and attempting to connect using the public…

Why on earth are you still using 11.5.2?

The query probably needs to look like this: SELECT n.Caption, n.Description, n.Location, n.MachineType, n.Status, p.City, p.AssetTag, p.Device_Function, p.SerialNumber, p.Network_Zone, p.Number_of_Physical_Devices, '1' AS [TotalResourceUnit], i.ObjectSubType p.Resource_Unit_NameFROM Orion.Nodes nINNER JOIN…

Hi elevated-tech​, as with most things SolarWinds there is more than one way to achieve your goal, but assuming you're using a Volume alert I prefer the FullName variable so that you can see the server name - disk name. Disk Space Low on ${N=SwisEntity;M=FullName} - This will look something like "Disk Space Low on…

Hi rouxd@ampath.co.za try this, hopefully, it should work: SELECT Nodes.Caption, Nodes.NodeID FROM Nodes--In the SQL condition please pasteJOIN Events ON Nodes.NodeID = Events.NetObjectIDWHERE (Technology = 'Telekom ME' OR Technology = 'Vodacom ME' OR Technology = 'Vodacom MW') AND EventTime > DATEADD(HOUR,-1,GETDATE())…

Hi Ujjwal, As with most things SolarWinds there are a few different ways to achieve this. A) You could create one master Template with ALL the services you want to be monitored and apply it to ALL 60 Servers. Then you could edit each application monitor to remove or disable the services that device doesn't need. B) Create…

I don't think is a feature for removing elements from a select number of devices, but a work around might be: From the Manage Node screen change 'Show Node' to Interface. Then you can set the 'Group by:' to Vendor, and select the Windows group. This is going to list ALL the interfaces associated with any of your Windows…

What are the rules of your Dynamic Query to add the Nodes to the Group in the first instance? It may be we can re-create those rules as an alert which will then update the Node CP.

Sadly those menus are created based on the modules you have installed, as you have found, you can edit the MenuTab_ModuleName in the Edit Menu Bars section of Settings menu, but you can't add menu bars to the main menu options. It might be possible if you are willing to have the CSS in someway?
