I wish there was an easier way to do this as well because I have a LOT of linux hosts with agents on them! I'd really like to be able deploy the agent with ansible during PXE boot process when a new machine or VM is built with RedHat 8 or 9. I'd like the same things monitored on every host without having to manually list…

I just did this and upgraded my even older Orion to Observability 2024.4.1 using the offline installer... worked like a charm after adding my new license. One thing we've found if some things don't look right it may take two reboots after all is upgraded to settle in good. Bill

I'm being asked about this now too. Can Observability monitor Nvidia GPUs in servers whether in the cloud or on prem? I started looking at the API: https://github.com/NVIDIA/go-nvml and am glad you listed https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/nvidia-smi/index.html tool as well. It seems with all the AI going on now that we'd have…

We do like the Modern Dashboards!

I have a modern dashboard on a 77 inch screen in my room where everyone can see it. The way I imported dashboards before moving to Observability was to use the powershell script. Not super easy for many users. Looking forward to the new features! I took the survey too. Bill

Thanks Jenne!

I'd really like to see more of this... we're utilizing more and more of ansible and one area I've been investigating is keeping Orion agents for linux configured and installed the way I want on RedHat. When we PXE boot a new RH host I want the agent installed and configured the way I want using ansible as part of the build…

FWIW: The Cisco OID for frame size on an interface is typically "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14" which corresponds to the "ifMTU" object within the IF-MIB (Interface MIB) standard, allowing you to retrieve the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of a network interface, essentially representing the maximum frame size it can handle.…

And I was holding off on 2025.1 and sticking with 2024.4.1 because it should have best bug fixes. I'm going to be upgrading an Orion instance directly to Observability (On Prem Edition) this week!

+1 on custom properties. It's one of the best ways to control Orion. I like Bob's powershell too though!

This should work. You can still get the event in the log just not have alerts fire.

I'm going to be doing an Orion 2020.2.6 to HCO 2024.x.x upgrade soon myself. Fingers crossed it'll go pretty smoothly.

Besides Cisco the only other cert I keep up with is my CISSP cert. I've done the CPE's for many years in fact I think I'm coming up on my 3rd renewal now. I got my CPE's in and Sept. 1st I'll be good for 3 years again.

And the new Spaceballs 2 is in the works: variety.com/.../

We used to have a corn hole set in the thwack store.

Bring back the: SolarWinds 2-Seater 1200cc Go Kart100,000,000 THWACK POINTS

I've often come here for help and info first.

The error message you're seeing is a Windows Application Event Log entry that indicates a crash of the NetworkAtlas.exe application, which is part of the SolarWinds Orion suite. Here's a breakdown of the key elements of the error message: Event ID 1000: This is a generic event ID for an application crash. Faulting…

Those were really cool Rob!

Lol pretty good stuff but can you match the Apple ][+ wish I kept mine. I had Steve Wozniak sign Woz in silver pen on the 6502 at an Applevention and IDK what happened to it when I was kid. Sure wish I still had that computer now! I guess we didn't know what was going to happen I think my Mom got rid of it at some point…

Awesome new stuff too! I got the Twelve South AirFly Pro and can't wait to try it out on the airplane! Bill

One thing about that... Edge basically has the chromium engine from Chrome as it's back end. Firefox, on the other hand, isn't directly related to either. I've found that sometimes Firefox can open things chromium can't... just a thought.

Just tried the new store... seems to work pretty well now. Bill

It was a good time like always! Thanks everyone.

Exactly you can have multiple users/passwords for snmpv3 defined.

I'm ready for everyone to come back to Phoenix, AZ! Maybe even Scottsdale one time! It was great last year!!! Bill

Good to know.

Stuart you always have some good tricks up your sleeves!
