It doesn't look like they are allowing the upload of new content after the migration to their new Thwack platform… at least not yet.

It would be nice to be able to keep messages with specific tags longer.

Now we just need better monitoring and insights into NSX.

Leaving all things 2020 in the dust 

Based off the comment that @"acurrent" left, I added a task to my patching automation to pause alert actions before patching my Orion environment. You'll need to replace the <Username>, <Password>, <Server> and <SwisUriSystemIdentifier> if you want to use this in your environment. This could be adapted to PowerShell or the…

It would be nice if this was native, especially for devices where you might have access to the iDRAC but not the OS. I did create a Universal Device Poller that can grab a fair amount of information directly from the iDRAC if it's useful for you.…

Yes, please disable the page refresh on /Orion/NCM/ConfigDetails.aspx I can't think of any reason you'd ever want to auto-refresh a page when looking at a config!

Same.

Even if there was some built-in profiles and rules which could be added to make it easy for the average admin to see if something funky is going on in the Orion logs without having to build it all from scratch.

This would be a deciding factor for us as to whether to buy SRM or not. We are doing what we can with UnDPs, but that only gives us so much.

Looking forward to Phoenix!

I had 5 of them, but I think they are probably expired now...

I could definitely use this too. We have a lot of duplicate alerts just because they have different actions. I can use variables to custom properties for things like email addresses. But, if I want to send to our paging system then I need to use a different mail gateway, some of them we want to send Zoom messages, some we…

I'm heading to Phoenix, but any mountain destination for future ones would be cool... PNW, Colorado... Let's do an outdoor one at Yosemite !

API pollers should inherit the unmanged/muted status from the node as well.

I'm having the same issue as @"j1mat". Been getting the same thing trying to upload diagnostics for a support case. Tried from multiple computers/networks/browsers and am getting the same error.

PerfStack in SAM would be a lot more useful if you could include the component name when graphing metrics. If we want to graph out metrics from multiple processes, you can't tell them apart unless you graph each of them separately.

You can get your SwisUriSystemIdentifier by running the SWQL query below. SELECT SettingValue FROM Orion.WebSettings WHERE SettingName='SwisUriSystemIdentifier'

Agreed! If it's all of the above, checking all of the boxes is actually correct!

It is definitely a hard pill to swallow that if you want the full LA, you have to buy a paid node license for each of your NCM devices which are already doing RTCD for free with NCM.

A fast polling option would be very useful too, where it would start polling more frequently if an issue is detected. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/SAM-Feature-Requests/Fast-Polling-for-SAM-Templates-Components-when-an-issue-is/idi-p/610981

@"ioan_bucsa" That is not true anymore. Non-admins do see the settings menu since the release of modern dashboards. Being the menu is there, it should be an easy fix to show the manage nodes link to those that have permissions. Burying it in a "My Dashboards" menu isn't ideal. Navigation in general could use some fixing…

I was thinking along the lines of the discovery settings, but doing it via a job would be cool too.

It seems pretty bizarre that we can't manually run a discovery without first removing the schedule.

Yeah, even a refresh button would be nice so you don't lose your filters. The only real workaround seems to be changing the time span of the results.

NetPath widgets, the ability to link directly to a map, better organization of the NetPath page (ability to sort, limit results for some users, etc)

Log Analyzer polls DCs with the agent, so it should easily be doable for UDT as well. It would definitely make it easier to deal with corporate politics around getting service accounts with domain controller access. It would also be great if the logs polled could be used for multiple modules instead of each module polling…

Hi @"dilbert1234", I did this with an alert. I started with an advanced SWQL alert condition that looks for online agents that haven't updated CPU load stats in 180 minutes. That time can be adjusted though. I then added a trigger action to call a PowerShell script which restarts the agent via a SWIS API call. You have to…
