I would suggest a nice workaround might be a Custom Query with a Search Filter. The Query will respect Account and View limitations. Pretty Basic, but should get you started, then you can define what you want to see using WHERE Statements. With the new mouseover popup you can go directly into the Node Details, Edit Node,…

As above by slbaker when in Network Atlas, Click on the Atlas Menu Icon in the top left and choose Open Map. Then find the local file on your machine (Either exported from Network Atlas or NTM) and it will open it on your machine. Then simply save it, and then it will sync into your database and should appear inside your…

Hi gidema few questions: What software versions are your existing modules? What version of SQL are you running now, and what will you be migrating to on the new machine (or will you stay the same) Do you want to test everything in lab first, or are you looking for a production upgrade using the spare machine as a rolling…

Are you migrating to new hardware or upgrading the existing machine? If you are migrating then you can follow the migration guide posted above which shows you which files to manually copy (as they are not stored in the database) such as Reports (The old report writer files) NCM Config Archive etc. Obviously, you need to…

Hi, Have you checked to make sure the node isn't part of a child dependency? That would change the node to unreachable.

Just to clarify, if you want to add a filter to your SQL Query that uses a custom property. In your example is the custom property actually called NodesCustomProperties? As that is the name of the SQL Table? SELECT nodes.NodeID, nodes.Caption, CPUMultiLoad.TimeStampUTC, CPUMultiLoad.AvgLoadFROM NodesJOIN CPUMultiLoad ON…

Thanks for the useful feedback dsimpkins

Hi mark.lewis The error you've got does indicate an SQL permissions issue most likely, maybe you tried to use the existing database account on the new SQL Server? The server would need a local account creating matching that username, then you can tie them together otherwise the config wizard will fail. I actually had to do…

Hi Terry, I assume you mean servers added to SolarWinds? The Auditing Event table would show a log of all new Nodes added for as long as you keep that information (Check your retention settings). Then you would need to run a query to correlate the information with something like the Volumes table so that it could show you…

Hi Reham, Sadly NPM doesn't monitor Windows Services for that you would require the Server & Application Module (SAM). Then you could leverage the Windows Service Monitor Component - Create a Windows Service Monitor in SAM - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

I hate to state the obvious but have you checked the port 17778 is open on your Firewalls?

What you could look at is providing two TACACS credential sets for each Admin Group: Net Admin 1 = NCMRole1 Net Admin 2 = NCMRole2 So when the NetAdmin 1 tries to execute scripts, if he accidentally tries to run them on devices he doesn't have access to the CLI Credentials used in the script will fail. To achieve this you…

Hi sayalirevalkar I totally agree with Raul - AlwaysOn AG is the best way to go for this, I am currently working on a project that is moving from standard SQL Clustering to AlwaysOn AG and deploying both Multi Subnet and Same Subnet HA Pools and it is working very nicely. Regards David

Audio is only possible with the Desktop Notification Tool.

Report Writer handles date time differently so I would stick with web reports unless you have a specific reason for wanting Report Writer? I’ll take a look at the query when I’m in the office.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason your rolling back, the upgrade didn't work etc? Just wondered, as obviously, you are already several versions behind the latest version 4.4. I can't think of any logical reason that you can't pass the EULA unless you need to scroll to the bottom of the page (like a sanity check that you…

Yes SQL Server 2016 is fully supported for use with Orion. The current release of SolarWinds Orion works on SQL Server 2012 and later. As of the next release (Orion Core 2018.4 or NPM12.4) you will need to move to SQL Server 2014 or later.

Hi Ryan, Not sure if I understand what you mean, would you mind sharing a screenshot?

Could be: Iframe in custom HTML Resource not showing - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Or Unable to load iFrames for remote users - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support If neither of these apply then could you provide the source code your using in your table and the exact error by way of screenshot?

I'm not sure I understand 100% what you have done, but whilst you can't visualise Alerts on a Map, you could change the status of a node as an outcome of an alert trigger, which can then be a node on the map?

Sadly it isn't possible to display Web Reports in the Views, but as James mentioned there isn't much in the reports that you can't replicate in the view by creating a custom table or chart. In some instances, it's easier to build what you need in your view and then use the Schedule Manager to create a report from that view.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. 1) Sadly this is going to be a manual process, it would be difficult to say how the issue occurred in the first instance, but resolving it should be fairly simple. You would need to start by running a report of all Nodes showing the Caption and IP Address. I would tag the troublesome…

I guess the better question is what version of NCM Admin Guide?? And can you link to it?

Hi Adnan, it’s a long shot but you might try looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\NCM\Session-Trace (Assuming C is your install directory for SolarWinds if not change as appropriate). This is where the files used to be located in earlier versions of NCM.

The Mute alert setting does NOT affect existing triggered alerts, so if you already have an alert which has repeating condition actions, it could continue to notify you, you would need to clear that instance of the alert. Mute Alerts only prevents any future alerts from being triggered.

I would suggest the best method would be to tag your selected interfaces using a custom property which you in turn use within the alert to filter it specifically for those interfaces.

I can't think of a way around this off the top of my head, but I will ponder on it a little. The first thing that comes to mind would be to Mute alerts for the far end interface, so that you still get monitoring statistics. However that might mute other alerts for things such as bandwidth monitoring. It might be better to…

Hi kange0010 there is an option for purging both. As mentioned by Will (wluther) there is a default job called "Default Purge Configs Job" which will purge old configs from your database based on node selection and retention periods set inside the job. However, there is also another job called "Default Database and Archive…
