If you do the last option I mentioned you actually won't need 2 alerts. You can just have that custom property automatically be filled in with the support email if it is blank. Then you can just use your custom property variable in the To field and it will go to either the support email, or whatever custom value someone…

This is really great stuff madhavan. I just didn't come across that info when I was searching for it. Do you know this information from working with the SDK, know it as part of your job at SolarWinds, or find this stuff documented somewhere? I know the SDK isn't "officially" supported and the documentation that comes with…

Yeah, that Product Updates page isn't always the most dependable, but also you have the "Show all updates" button deselected, so its hiding updates that you all dismissed before, but I never really use that screen anyways. Just bounce your current versions up against the latest version available in your customer portal.…

That's right, I forgot about that. Their instructions need to be more clear. You actually have to move the files into the share for it to work even though the instructions say to just move the whole directory into it...

Yeah, I was checking to see if you had heard of any plans to expand that functionality to other resources before I did that. Hey, before I go creating a support case, have you seen any cases where the Multi Chart gives an error when trying to configure it on an Application Details Page? I'm trying to put a Multi Chart on a…

Aww, well, that makes since but is a bit disappointing. Most people aren't going to dedicate an entire array to something that they would want to be limited to in Orion. At the minimum people would dedicate a storage pool to certain applications or usage types but not an entire array. I hope this feature and the ability to…

Well, it isn't uncommon for me or many of the people I've worked with Exchange for AppInsight has over 30 Windows Service monitors, over 40 Custom Performance Monitors and a dozen or so Custom Statistic Monitors... multi-edit would be EXTREMELY useful. Do you have any idea how long it takes to expand and edit each…

Yep, which is why Groups really aren't a good thing for organization. So many clients I go to and see they have a ton of groups setup and no custom properties. They have no ability to sort\search\filter\group in most of the solarwinds products since Groups aren't used in most of it. Don't get me wrong, Groups have their…

Well, in my 7 years of using Orion products, I have found their GA releases to be extremely stable. Of course there will be bugs with any release, find software that doesn't have them... But major bugs are very very rare. So yes, I stand by my assertion that 11.5 was indeed an anomaly. An expected one given the amount of…

No, I didn't say there were 100 people using one sql server... I said I've worked with over 100 different Orion environments, dozens of which had remote polling engines pointing back to a single SQL server. These are all different clients. Different businesses completely unrelated who hired our company to…

Yes, I remove it from all of them, otherwise they don't seem to work correctly. Especially those crypto and certificate ones.

Yeah, if you're worried about that I would say you are just going to need to use the word and instead of &. Yeah its annoying, but I mean, its a difference of two characters, so in the long run its not that big of a deal...

Did you ever get a resolution to this issue? I'm running into something similar and want to know if it is even possible to do this without topology information.

Like I said, I've seen instances where the latency between a polling engine and the SQL server is greater than 250. Say, 300 or 350 before and I didn't notice anything adverse. Maybe there was something going on that I nor the clients could notice and obviously its not ideal, but I don't think its the end of the world.…

Even now, following the Admin Guide's instructions for enabling HTTPS, it still doesn't work the way it should. SSL Enabled is set to 1 in the Websites Table, the IIS Bindings and settings are set exactly as described in the Admin guide, yet at the end of the config wizard it is trying to build a web request to…

Yeah, so I remember NPM 11 having some weirdo issues with Chrome and/or Firefox. I would upgrade to the newest versions of all of those modules (just make sure to install the hotfixes). Its much more solid with Firefox and Chrome, plus the differences in speed, stability, and overall performance not to mention the MASSIVE…

Little bit of an old post I know, and also excuse my lack of knowledge as I am still quite new to the SDK and don't have a ton of scripting/programming experience in my background. I'm trying to find a way to automate cleaning up orphaned volumes. There seem to be helpful verbs and swql data for cleaning up interfaces, but…

Sorry, I mean other views. Being able to use this to post CPU, Memory, Disk I/O all on one chart for a node would be nice. It would also be nice to be able to have a router or switch where we could have this chart with CPU, and various interface utilization charts on these. I just think these are far better charts for…

In my 6 years of working with Orion I have never seen Orion monitoring traffic ever have any significant effect on a network yet. I've had plenty of people claim it at some point or another, but aside from the rare SNMP bug on a Cisco switch/router/firewall here and there causing issues (and that is a Cisco problem, not an…

Yeah, like I said, I've seen this come up before and with the validation fields I don't think its possible. The workaround I gave is really going to be the only solution I can think of. That, or, if you have that Contact_Person custom property set with the restricted values drop-down list and you have mandatory custom…

Any plans for a verb that does this since obviously there is already some kind of programmatic action that handles this when done through the GUI? Just a verb that calls the same functions that are called when you click "Change Polling Method and Delete History". If not, would a feature request be appropriate here? Thanks,…

Yep, and that's what I did, just a bit unintuitive is all. Any particular reason why disable was removed? Also, was removing the ability to Multi-Edit in all of the AppInsight Templates done on purpose or is this a bug that will be fixed in the next release? Thanks!

Hi Rob, I've confirmed andygreenough's workaround posted below your comment and that indeed seems to be the issue. When using the servername the logo displays fine in reports but when using a DNS name (which many clients use) or an IP Address (which some use) then it does not display correctly at all. I've tried this with…

Unfortunately the information in my original post above is the best I have to offer as the environment I was working in is no longer available to me. I finished with that client on Friday. I did recommend he put a case in with Support in case that it was just a problem with his system, but basically we limited a view to a…

It may have been this article by Anandtech: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3602 He talks about how at full load the throughput on the Balanced Plan can match that of the High Performance, but where the Balanced plan really loses out is in the response time penalty it imposes on the database software. Having to wait for a…

I don't have that info since I've not had the issue. Was just wondering if any of the issues like this had been asked and, if so, if you remembered what some of the solutions where? That's all.

No, I haven't used the custom properties for alerts yet. The alerting system I use doesn't really require them. I like to set the alerts up to where they don't really need to be edited at all once they are created, since I control who gets them and whether or not they are alerted on at all by using the element's custom…

Well, I've put an automation server on another 2012 R2 box and I'm still getting the same Version Mismatch error. This error has nothing to do with PM being on the same server as WSUS, at least not for Server 2012. The error has to do with the client version getting updated to a newer version than the server version.…

I am having this issue as well with the last two installations I've done. The fix I've found is to go into IIS and disable Windows Authentication (by default both Forms and Windows authentication are enabled after installation, which shows a warning in the top right corner saying both should not be enabled at the same…

I was in the same boat as you up until about 6 months ago and always preferred the old Report Writer to the web based one, but now that I know how to use the web reporting tool it is FAR easier to use and much more diverse with the types of reports you can make. You can do every single thing the old Report Writer could do…
