Netpath was first introduced in NPM12 when Server 2008 was still supported, so I can say with confidence that the agent will support Server 2012R2. Here are the system requirements for confirmation: SolarWinds Orion agent requirements

HA and AG work independently, so each of your HA Pool Members (Active/Standby) will point to the AG Listener when you run the configuration wizard. If the HA Fails over then it continues to use the AG Listener and connect to the Active Node. If your AG Fails from Node 1 to Node 2, then the SolarWinds should continue to…

Hi mistik84 I believe what you are referring to is the "Simultaneous Downloads/Uploads" which can be found in Settings > All Settings > NCM Settings > Config Settings. It is set to 25 by default and can go up to a maximum of 100. If you are backing up more devices than that you should consider breaking up your backup…

Hey Kellie, I don't own HA but as a SolarWinds Partner, I deploy it quite regularly so if your interested in that perspective give me a shout I'd be happy to participate.

Hi peradojr , the SCP program has been totally revamped over the last year so the exam you took 4 years ago was the old one. You can find out more information about the new exams along with the link to register here: Network Certification | SolarWinds Certified Professional - SolarWinds & Solarwinds Certified Professional…

There is an OOB Report called Cisco Flash File System which shows the list of all files on the Flash

You could create a custom table looking at the Virtual Host to show the Host-specific information on its own in a table and just position it above your existing Virtual Machine report. This is just roughly, but something like this?

This isn’t true you can have a common view as long as you use Account limitations properly and remove some troublesome widgets that “leak” information such as Events etc. Reports again honour Account Limitations so if setup properly will only show the customer information. PerfStack sounds interesting

Hi Sunny, Sounds like a nice project, I’ll assume based on the volume that this will be a large deployment monitoring Nodes across multiple countries. Firstly you will need to get the hardware provisioned, here is the SolarWinds guideline for deployments with multiple modules: Orion multi-module system guidelines -…

I thought when you specify a seed router for discovery it lets you set how many hops you can make as part of the discovery? Couldn’t you use that to restrict it?

Hey Marc, We are using the following: https://servername:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3?wsdl this checks that the InformationService is running on the box, but there could be better ways.

I would say if you have 100 users then you need at least 2 dedicated Web Servers, and leave the Primary Orion Server to perform the other functions such as polling, alerting, reporting etc.

Sadly Orion doesn't consider AP's that are discovered via a WLC to be Nodes, so you can't add any custom data. They are just endpoints that the WLC is providing some information about. Unless you add the AP as an SNMP Node you won't be able to add any Custom Property data.

I can't comment on that as I'm not a sales engineer, but it sounds odd! I do know that if you check out "What we are working on" then it does mention a Remote Poller, which is going to extend the agent to become a sort of proxy polling engine, this may replace the existing ROP product. If you can provide more context as to…

This has been asked and answer a few times here on Thwack: Remote Office Poller for Additional Polling Engine but in essence the ROP is a small lightweight version of the Additional Poller. In terms of installation it is the same, but it can only extend Polling for NPM & SAM and only for a limited number of Nodes (either…

Add a VMware vCenter or HyperV host to start monitoring in VMAN - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Hope pe this helps

Hi reham saeed​ can you provide a little bit more information on what you are trying to do? Are you trying to monitor a HTTPS Site using port 443? As in google.co.uk:443 etc or are you looking for HTTP Traffic being passed over a specific network interface? Also what SolarWinds products do you have?

Odd, it worked for me. Best thing to try is to break down the filter. First Try to validate it in SQL with SELECT * FROM Nodes WHERE PercentMemoryUsed > '90' AND (Application NOT LIKE 'SQL' OR Application_Secondary NOT LIKE 'SQL') Then if that works we know were on the right track. I would also try editing the widget to…

Hi ckscord if your looking for the SQL Syntax it would look something like this: WHERE PercentMemoryUsed > '90' AND (Application NOT LIKE 'SQL' OR Application_Secondary NOT LIKE 'SQL') If this is being used as a SQL Syntax then you would SELECT * FROM Nodes but if you are using this in the SQL Filter part of the Web UI…

Hi Marcin, Don't take this as gospel, but I don't believe you have to remove the web console from the Primary Orion server, which would lead me to believe that there is no restriction to the number of additional web servers you can deploy. Sorry, I can't confirm it 100% as I've never come across that scenario.

Hi Larry, I suspect you currently have a limitation to the Single Interface, and that is great when your looking at that specific interface view, but as you rightly pointed out they have access to the other views and menu bars and will have access to ALL Nodes (albeit only that one interface). I would suggest you add a…

Hi, Not a direct answer to your issue, but have you considered upgrading to the latest release to make sure it's not a bug in your software. 12.2 is the latest, and 12.1 is the best possible with Windows Server 2008. I would recommend being at the latest possible release at least this will help SolarWinds support I would…

Sadly the closest option you will have is the "Allow Account to Unmanage Objects & Mute Alerts" So you can restrict which devices they can apply this too with the Account Limitation, but they will be able to UnManage AND Mute for those devices.

There is an example script here on Thwack to automatically import map points based on custom property. That script was for Nodes but could easily be adapted to Groups instead. I’ll take a look when I’m at my PC next.

Hi merwyn I suspect that the certification you took in 2015 would have been the original exam and whilst that will continue to be valid until it expires, it won't entitle you to any of the benefits of the new SCP.

Hi Aparna, This looks like the PerfMon Counters are corrupted or missing - aLTeReGo answered this in another similar post some time back - Understanding entries in Polling Agent logs. Hope that helps.

Can you give a bit more of an example of what you're trying to achieve? Are you using the IPAM Group Node Custom Property or the IP Node? If the IP Node, could you not create a different CP for each Hierarchical Group?

As the NetPath Probe uses the SolarWinds Agent that is installed by default on the MPE when you first install SolarWinds, it might be worth removing and reinstalling the agent. I've seen instances where the agent doesn't install properly for some reason. You could test it by installing a new probe on another machine first,…

There is no way to change this within the system settings, it would need to be developed as a function, but sounds like an interesting feature request
