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…

The only other way of doing it via the UI is by performing a Network Discovery on those devices and adding in the missing interfaces. Otherwise you have to "List Resources" on the Node to discover the interfaces and select the missing ones.

If you don’t use it then you would be better off uninstalling the module

Hi alankar.srivastava best place to look would be the Orion SDK page on GitHub - Managing Custom Properties · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

Nice work, what about if your scheduled config job ignores backups where no changes are detected, so you don't see a config every day / week for example. How would you know if the config is failing as there is a config in the archive (from the last time it did work) but since then it has stopped working?

Hi Krishna, Just because you have an Admin enabled account doesn't mean it can't have account limitations applied to it. I would suggest you check your Account list and see if there are any account limitations set against your account. Also if your using AD Groups then don't forget that if you are a member of multiple…

If you VPN has CLI access and that is how you take your backups then Yes.

Interesting - If you create a dependency between the Parent and individual node as child does it work then? Is it only when it’s part of a group or just because it’s ICMP?

Hi, You might need to give a little more information. What is it exactly you want to backup?

Looks like some issues with your SQL - I'm going to assume you just want those VLAN's listed, but if you are trying to exclude those VLAN's you can change the = to != which means Does Not Equal SELECT IPAM_GroupReportView.FriendlyName, IPAM_GroupReportView.GroupId FROM IPAM_GroupReportViewWHERE( (…

You need to look at your Jobs List. From the My Dashboard goto: Configs > Jobs Then check two places: 1) Default Database and Archive Maintenance Job - Check the line - Purge configs from config archive older than X 2) Default Purge Config Jobs - Check which option you have (Default is Delete all configs EXCEPT last 30…

Hi Ken (modot) Surely if you have a dependency setup this will mean that the only time you get alerts that are NOT network related will be things that the GPS Tech need to resolve? The Dependency you have between the Switch and the GPS will suppress any alerts for the GPS if the switch is down.

If they are already monitoring the server by Agent from there own instance then 'No' as you can only have a single agent installed and it can only communicate with a singleSolarWindss instance. You could potentially monitor it via WMI or SNMP though as long as you have network connectivity.

Hi, SolarWinds will automatically purge historical data from your database based on your retention settings.

For them to work together they need to be running on the same instance of Orion. If you break off SAM for example it will install its own copy of Orion Core with its own DB.

Excellent - Thanks thebackupguru

Hi All, So I'm up and running with a few test devices - - I've noticed that if I use the Automatic Deployment then the system seems to add _xxxxx (5 random characters) to the device name in the management portal. This is also reflected in the email reports, which is very off-putting as it's not the machine hostname I…

Excited to see how the product develops in this environment, but is there any link to the existing On-Prem Orion suite? I assume the agent is totally different to the existing Orion Agent, so if we are monitoring all of our servers using this agent, will we now require an additional agent running on the machines that need…

Something like this maybe? If this looks like the sort of thing your after I can share the SQL.

What have you already tried? Can I assume you have tried restarting your Orion services? Have you checked if the Nodes are using Global Values and if so are they correct or could the password have been changed?

Can you not change this from within the Poller Studio inside Orion UI? Settings > All Settings > Manage Pollers ?

The fact that you have a tick box to "Enable Left Navigation" should mean that the code exists to remove that panel from specific views if required. That way we don't have to revoke access from our user accounts or admin accounts. Optionally add it to the Menu Bar so that it's always at the top of the screen.

Do you always want to see the same Information just using the specific NodeID? I’m on the train at the moment so maybe I misread but my initial thoughts would be to create a custom query table where they search the Node etc but in the query you add a LinkFor URL for a custom view, which means the results will present a…

The Polling Engine page does give you this information, it is above the Polling Rate % and just below the IP Address and Polling Completion.

In order to view information about more than one specific element you need to start with a summary page. Then if you apply a View Limitation to the page to only show the list of elements you want displayed.

Just to clarify, you want an alert when the node is Up? If so then this is a fairly simple reverse of the default Node is down alert but you change the status = to Up, you can filter by custom property or selected nodes in the alert trigger screen. To disable the down node alert simply go into your alert manager and…
