Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Whenever I try this widget, I get rows returned of objects that I did not personally put into maintenance mode, but yet my user name is attached to them. I'm not sure why the system thinks that my user name put multiple objects into maintenance mode when it was another engineer on another team. I wish this widget worked…

That's definitely understood, I'd never revert a SQL or an AD domain controller snapshot unless in total dire straights. I guess I'm looking for the SQL restore feedback, and its resiliency for say, a failed upgrade from 12.0 to 12.2. Is your procedure - 1. Restore BAK file in SQL 2. Revert snaps 3. Reboot 4. Back in 12.0…

Thank you for the feedback.

Possibly, yes. Its been 3 weeks so I don't recall.

Thanks, works for me...interesting that I search for this macro and it doesn't come up in the pick list? But works fine in a simulation test. Is this a hidden macro? I never knew of its existence maybe because it doesn't even show up.

Thanks, thats what I thought.

NetBios resolution looks OK. I'm going down that direction too, communication issue but I see no proof or relevancy, yet. Whats also interesting is the same page on a primary polling engine renders radial gauges fine with all of these missing path folders events. I guess these are indeed red herrings.

Good stuff, thank you very much for the write up. Bookmarked! Doesn't the database need to be upgraded before you can install any new 12.4 servers? I thought that you can't point a fresh 12.4 install to a 12.3 or 12.2 DB? I think I'm confused again.

I'm trying to find more instances and icons etc. Whats odd is gauges work on a Service page. I have a feeling the next suggestion will be an OS rebuild but if I tell the client that, its going to be a huge PR hit.

Thank you sir. It still doesn't resolve the issue of getting a general server inventory report though. Your view works, but for 1500 node shops with 50 different customers this resource view just won't really work from an inventory reporting standpoint. I realize SSRS is the way to go, but the mere mortals out here in "I…

Thanks. I'm wondering how that could cause so much agony. I agree with another user that said the LEM DB creation step is a surprise requirement. It was for me too. My small 2019.4 environment so far has been stable for me.

Thank you so much Chris. Code is Poetry.

Thanks. So you just shut down the old polling engine, logged in to the 2019 server and ran the install against your 12.3 build? Its really that simple? I'll remember to run the install as a local admin in the future. I did not do that with my recent upgrade - installed it as a domain admin. All turned out OK, so far anyway.

Thank you for the advice. Will this change: 1. Require a bounce of Orion services? 2. Possibly cause any kind of fallout with devices that are being polled now with the current setting, or is the change completely benign and I'm being overly cautious? I have 500 SNMP nodes so borking anything or creating alerts would be…

You need to create the conditional statements around your command. Merely doing Statistic: ^^^ is why its complaining "no command".

Agents were amongst my major concerns due to past instability. So far, all is OK. I'm very surprised nothing barked.

Ok, perhaps just an APE, but I doubt it would be easy to get all of the core Win32 services working and WMI polling. Sounds like it would be quite a task. Perhaps they have some genius offshore team working on it now though, who knows.

Definitely! We're first going to get HA in AWS working and stable, then we'll look forward to the next major NPM upgrade. Hopefully the release date lines up with where we're at. Thanks

Well, I have sufficient BAK files of my Orion DB but I'm just wondering if your SQL restores are a piece of cake based on your post above about the instant restores. I hate that word and that's why I'm weary of a failed upgrade. If I am being overly and unnecessarily fearful of restoring I guess I'm looking for that…

Same symptoms with other misc. widgets - component and app details are still dead.

Trend report for a group of servers with date selection criteria. Its never been done. Views are too messy with multiple disk objects (see PerfStack blog for this assertion confirmed by SW), PerfStack isn't a viable option for automated reports. The Top 10 Views is almost a viable option, but without date selection it is…

Thanks, I changed mine to that from your suggestion. Cleaner....thx!

I had to setup Windows event log monitors for Dell HW for this same issue.

How did you perform the process of moving to Windows 2016? Did you follow any of the alternate methodologies (AlterEgo's HA trickery for example)? I'm curious of the cleanest way to port 12.3 to 2016, essentially, we are in the same spot as you.

Which Component Status are you suggesting outside of the "Components With".....macros?

Thanks, so my current way is going to spit out a separate email for each component? Weird. I'll change it up as you suggested and see what I get, thanks much Chris.

Yes, its probably set at a baseline level now. Have you looked at the 'Edit' template mode for that server object its assigned to?

Thanks. This is a totally new additional web server recently deployed that runs perfectly. Is this status not what I should be seeing below?

The main problem for us is AppInsight SQL/AD/IIS blares performance alerts a little too much.
