Hi Aashu, So all modules need to initially be installed on the Primary Polling Engine (Main Server), and then when you install the APE the installer will detect which modules you have running on your Primary Polling Engine and replicate them on the APE. After that, it's up to you if you distribute the polling to that…

You would need to query the NodesSettings table to show which CredentialID is being used, and correlate that with the Credentials table. I’m not in front of my PC at the moment but will see if I can get a query together later if you still need it.

Could be something to do with the different TCP ports for Windows vs Linux? Does your server support Samba? Test if you can connect from the Windows server directly yourself.

I don't think so, it has been a Feature request for some time. Use of a wildcard in the source definition on Windows Event Log

Hi pbrooks20017 so you got pretty close, it's mainly cosmetics to be fair, here are a few steps to get it looking closer: 1) Firstly in your Table Resources (Edit Table from within the Report Editor) You need to Add the Node/Caption field, and replace Volumem/Volume Name with Volume/Volume Description. 2) Expand the…

Welcome iosman123​ if you already have a SAM licence then your good to go. The AppInsight templates are just like super versions of the standard templates that consume a set number of components even though they provide much more detail. AppInsight for SQL will consume 50 components PER INSTANCE on your SQL Server.

This isn't really SolarWinds specific and I've never had to do it, but here are some links that might be of help: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3079/downgrade-from-sql-server-enterprise-edition-to-standard-edition/ https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/jonathan/downgrading-sql-server-editions/

Hi malvarkie I suspect you will need to add an extra trigger condition of "Last Run Duration is greater than" and specify the time threshold you want to be notified if it breaches. My only concern would be that the information being pulled by AppInsight isn't live and I am not even sure it calculates until the job has…

Have you tried setting the Node Status to SNMP rather than ICMP in List Resources? If so did that change anything?

My bigger question would be if you're managing a network estate that big, how come the uplink ports are: a) Not the same across your entire estate, meaning you only monitor those particular interfaces (ie Gig0/0 or 0/1 or Fe0/24 etc). b) Why do the uplink ports not have a unique interface description that you could use to…

Have you checked that the device doesn't ping from your Orion server directly rather than your own desktop/laptop? It could be an ACL issue. Failing that you could set the device as UnManaged and then Manage it again (This should result in an Unknown Status which then turns to Down)

I think maybe I missed something from the original post. Is this JUST the Additional Web Server that you are trying to upgrade? If I was you I would just uninstall all the SolarWinds application and re-install from scratch, the AWS isn't holding anything specific to your installation as it's all held on your main server. I…

Looks really great, I wasn't able to attend the webinar, but managed to watch it back and had a few additional questions if possible? 1) Does SCM data enter into the existing SolarWinds Orion Database, as other modules do, or will it be similar to NetFlow & Log Manager and require an independent database? 2) Is there any…

If you could give an example block of what you're looking to capture as a violation, and an example of what you would want it to exclude I will try and have a go. I did a simulation on my lab but we don't use mode tunnel so have no example.

Hi jeffgrimord 1) Depending on the settings you chose when you set up the discovery it might not be using ICMP to detect the devices if that is the case it will skip items that don't have SNMP or WMI (depending on what you selected). Or it could just be the device was not reachable from the Orion server. 2) If the vendor…

Hey Deltona I don't think there would be any way of creating that report without using a custom query, but here is one I quickly knocked up for you to see if it might fit the bill: SELECT DISTINCT CASE WHEN CT.NodeID IS NOT NULL THEN 'BackedUp' ELSE 'NotBackedUp' END AS NCMStatus, N.NodeID AS CoreNodeID, N.Caption,…

Might be a case for SolarWinds Log & Event Manager (LEM)

Hi sugreevk01​ the SolarWinds system doesn’t perform real-time polling in that way but you could use SNMP Traps to provide a quicker response for certain conditions and be alerted on them but it still wouldn’t technically be real-time Another option might be to run an Additional Polling Engine and dedicate it to you…

Polling Time = How often SolarWinds goes to the device for information (ICMP Status, SNMP/WMI Statistics) and then stores that information into the database. Alert Frequency = How often the SolarWinds Alerting service checks the database for the specific trigger conditions defined in your alert. Your example based on…

W0000t - NEED!

The All Transactions widget that is available on the Summary page can use custom property filters, in the same way, the All Nodes tree widget does. You need to create a Transaction custom property and add it to your transactions. Then you can add the CP as a 'Group By' Filter, or you can use the Filter (SWQL): Example:

Sounds like you had a good plan of approach, sometimes automation takes longer than just doing the task manually I guess it depends on how many times you will ever need to perform such a task Good luck.

Hi cwjohnson3rd You could do this by directly inserting the data into the Database in SQL. INSERT INTO [dbo].[CustomPropertyValues] ([TargetTable],[Name],[Value]) VALUES ('NodesCustomProperties','Your_CP_Name_Here','Your_Entry_Here') I have assumed it is a NodesCustomPropery, if that isn't the case then change that part of…

I’ve seen this before in Kiwi and the workaround at the time was just to upgrade manually it was later patched in a hot fix. I would suggest downloading 3.11.4 from the customer portal and following the upgrade guide here: Kiwi CatTools Upgrade Guide - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

You would create a different view for each group, and then assign that view to the group in Accounts.

Once a user account has Node Management rights they have all the appropriate rights to add, change and remove. You could, however, set up a policy within your department that nobody deletes Nodes, and instead, they update a CustomProperty which marks the Node / Interface for deletion. Then have a report run every night or…

Hi Craig, You could install an AWS (Additional Web Server) outside of your DMZ environment and allow users to log on from that location, however, the permissions of what they can and can't do will still be set within the user accounts. You would need to create a custom view with the node views that you wanted these users…

I tried Using XY Mode and that didn't work at all then I didn't even get the Login pop up. What do you mean by different keystrokes?

Why don't you assign the EmailTo custom property to the Node itself, and then in your alert you can simply have a Node Alert which triggers based on whatever condition you need, and in the Trigger Action you simply send the email to ${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomProperties.EmailTo}

Why don't you put both WAN Routers in a group and set the status roll-up of that Group to 'Show Best Status' that way if both WAN routers are UP then your Group will be UP, but if both WAN routers are DOWN then your Group will be DOWN and your LAN devices won't trigger any alerts.
