  • If the table from the report is something useful that would be beneficial to the NOC Team then I would suggest adding a Custom Table to your Dashboard and using the exact same formatting / Datasource that you have defined in your report. The report just contains a custom table.

  • Could you create a group with all the Nodes that will be in the Photo, and then create a map with the image. There is a way that you can then associate an individual map to the group summary page by naming the map the same as the group name.

  • Hi rsdom The Views are an individual resource and the users get associated with that View. If you're using AD Groups then any user logging in via that Group will be assigned the same shared view. Sadly there isn't much you can do about this. The only work-around would be to create a copy of the View in that users name, and…

  • Hi imcguinness, so if you want to set the X Days threshold on a per-node level you would edit the Application Monitor, however, if you want them all to be the same then you would edit the Application Template. Once you're inside the Application Monitor (Or Template) you open up the SSL Certificate Expiration Component and…

  • 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.
    in Node stays as unknown after re-managing Comment by dgsmith80 March 2018
  • 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…

  • 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…
    in Upgrading server and NPM version, issue with getting NPM running on new server Comment by dgsmith80 June 2018
  • 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…

  • 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

  • You need to check the reason your certificate is not valid. I suspect it's because your browsing to the server by IP but the certificate is using the FQDN, but checking the certificate will give you a better indication. It could be your browser isn't allowing the certificate to be installed on your client, which I think is…

  • 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.

  • 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…
