Also, are ALL 4 of those servers actually licensed as Additional Pollers (VCENE2ESWPOLL03, VCENE2EWPOLL04) are showing Active and look to be Active as Primary APE Servers. Are VCENE2ESWPOLL05 and VCENE2ESWPOLL06 supposed to be APE's or are they supposed to be the HA-Standby servers? I'm just guessing here, but I suspect…

Is there a description on the right-hand side of the screen when you select the machine? Are you getting the same error for your APE and your APE HA? Do you have available HA License?

Hi Matt, So let me try and answer your question. 1. You don't NEED a new server, as mentioned you can stack the license to increase the cap, but it sounds more like you want to load balance performance so I would recommend a separate Physical/VM Server. 2. The SolarWinds Additional Polling Engine (APE) is a single license…

There is an out-of-box alert for Application in Warning or Critical & Application Down. If you trigger an Application Alert, and then put the Variable: ${N=SwisEntity;M=ApplicationAlert.ComponentsWithProblemsFormatted} this will show you the Problem Component. The Server Name can be added with ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.Caption}

It might be worth checking the ConfigurationWizard log file to see if there is an issue with the import of the ReportWriter files into your system.

Hi glenp42​ have you checked out the new "Enhanced Node Status" released as part of Orion 2019.2 (NPM 12.5)? This feature allows you to use the Hardware Health to impact the overall Node Status - Best yet, SolarWinds have added new variables that will show you the Child Objects that caused the Node Status change. Check it…

Hi Kyle, You would need to create a custom widget something along the lines of: SELECT n.Caption AS [Node] ,'/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + n.StatusIcon AS [_IconFor_Node] ,n.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Node] ,n.IP_Address FROM Orion.Nodes n WHERE n.Status = 2 AND n.IP_Address LIKE '192.168.%' ORDER By n.IP_Address ASC…

Good question, but one would assume that the fact SolarWinds are able to allow you to install onto Windows Server 2019 must mean they have done various amounts of testing on the platform to make sure that works, and again I would assume that would include monitoring itself.

Using Two Factor Authentication to access the Orion Web Console - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Sadly not supported at this time.

Try this SWQL Query, you can drop it in a Custom Query either via the Dashboard, or more likely insert it into a Report. SELECT DISTINCT n.NodeID, n.CaptionFROM Orion.Nodes nWHERE n.NodeID NOT IN (SELECT n.NodeID FROM Orion.Nodes, Orion.APM.CurrentApplicationStatus c WHERE n.NodeID = c.Application.NodeID AND…

Hi b3nw00d I would be interested to hear about your progress with support. Did you find the issue or is it still ongoing? superfly99 I think that might be attributed to the IIS, I suspect the 2 widgets your getting are PerfStack Projects. If you rebuild your IIS you might see it improve. It's also worth checking it's not a…

Hi collinsros​ I’m glad I’m not the only one with OCD about these things, but rest assured the order makes no impact on your system. You can upgrade your APE’s in any order as long as you ALWAYS upgrade the Primary first, and then update ALL additional servers second (you ca upgrade in any order but they won’t work until…

You can grant module specific access without making a user a full admin. You can also apply account limitations, but if you make the Account an Admin in the main account screen it will give that account the access to simply remove those limitations themselves. if they don’t need full access you can apply an account…

The Trigger and Reset conditions are stored in XML within the Database, so you would have to parse that, and I suspect there are way too many variables.

Don't forget that if they are separate systems then you will need duplicate licenses for the replica environment. If this is just going to be a lab / demo environment then you could speak to SolarWinds or your local partner about lab specific licenses which are a lot cheaper. In terms of getting the systems synced, you…

can you provide a link to the tool your referring too?

Hi Faizan, Sadly any notes you apply to the alert are inserted as the alert triggers, any changes in value past that point are not reflected in the alert detail, however, you could set up an escalation trigger action, which fires off after a certain amount of time, in which you can insert the current CPU Variable, it will…

If you edit the Schedule and in the Actions tab, edit your Email Action. Then make sure in the Message Section - Make sure you tick the box "Retrieve a Printable Version of Reports".

The WorldWide Map needs access to the internet to pull the API from MapQuest (I think), so if you're not seeing the map then there is the first issue. As for updating the geolocation check out this reference: Place objects into the map using custom properties

Now if they did something similar to Cisco where the company can get higher levels of discount based on the number of SCP's it would give the companies incentive to hire SCP qualified staff which in turn gives more value to the certification itself. But then I'm not sure how the different modules would play out with that,…

NTA FSDB can be covered using Microsoft Cluster as per the NTA 4.2.3 Administrator Guide - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Or more specifically Pg 91 . or Here: Remote NTA Flow Storage Database covered by Microsoft Failover Cluster

Sadly no, the best you can do is Disable all the of the actions from the Tab itself such as Reports, Alerts, Traps etc: All of these options can be found in the "Edit Account" Page. Settings > All Settings > Manage Accounts. As David mentioned above you could put the screen in NOC View and that will remove all menu…

Which in effect means your not secure and might as well be using HTTP - This means anytime you manually input a password into the Web UI you are passing that in clear text to DB. But functionally it makes no difference to Orion's monitoring capabilities.

The SCP Exam is currently closed as it is being overhauled. SolarWinds are moving to a modular system where you have several smaller exams for the different modules rather than one generic exam. The NPM Exam was in Beta last year and we are still waiting for official release. For now just keep an eye on the web site or…

Sorry my friend but as I am sure you have read many times on this forum UDP isn't something that SAM can monitor because it doesn't have a measurable response. You might try some of the following to work around this: SOAP Component Monitor RADIUS User Experience monitor Or one of the many other Application Component…

Do you have Solarwinds NCM? How many nodes are you talking about? Also when you say connection profile I assume your talking about a telnet client with saved profiles?

In order for SolarWinds to accept SNMPv3 Traps, you must be monitoring the device using the same credentials that you are using to send the Traps.

The exam is 75 questions which are randomly drawn from a large pool of questions (I think around 200) you have 90 minutes and I believe the pass rate is 70-75% but I don’t remember exactly. There are no cram docs or practise exams as SolarWinds want to keep that information as secure as possible to protect the integrity of…

The Node Notes field is a bit of a waste of time really, I prefer putting in a Custom Property which can be used for Comments

Hi, Firstly which type of CP are you trying to create (Transaction or Recording) and what type of Alert are you trying to trigger. The CP will only appear if you use the correct "Alert On" drop-down.
