SolarWinds World Tour inspired dashboarding 😋

lol thinking to update all my customer dashboarding to this theme, i can already see their faces :S

i love the dark mode too

hey, The first one is the node status behaviour around polling failures. From 2026.1 onwards, SolarWinds now exposes polling issues more directly. So if ICMP is working but SNMP, WMI or WinRM polling is failing, the node can show as Critical or Misconfigured with a “Polling is failing” message. That is useful visibility,…

Yeah, exactly. A simple Polling Hygiene dashboard, or even alerting around those objects, would go a long way here. For me, it comes back to: Evidence → State → Action I’ll be interested to see where SolarWinds takes this natively, but until then I’ll keep building around that mindset. I do think this is a missed…

This will definitely catch out environments that have broad “Node Status is Critical” type alerts. (some people really do set those up) 😕 It highlights the importance of polling-health alerts and hygiene across the platform, not just for nodes, but also volumes, interfaces and components. There is probably a wider…

i agree with @adpanssw an uplift in SolarWinds HCO would be welcome, especially around the native UI and out-of-the-box content. That said, it’s still possible to build modern, useful dashboards in HCO today. For me, the real value is not just how the dashboard looks, it’s whether it is driven by context, evidence, and…

asked this before: so created a widget

I’ve been thinking about the SolarWinds anomaly layer and whether it can evolve beyond basic anomaly scoring into something more operationally useful. Once you get into Z-scores, baselines, and expected ranges, a lot of anomaly detection starts to look like the same bottle with a different label. The value is not in…

a customer of ours uses the Notification tool from SolarWinds, simply updated the alert trigger with 'play a sound' and it will notify all users with the client installed. maybe you are looking for some other feature but this one does the job for them. Play a sound when an alert is triggered in the Orion Platform…

hey man, This report is scanning the 'Events' table. you really have 2 options that i can see the first is nodeid the second is message details the network node is actually NODEID and this can be filtered by the unique nodeid rather than caption. You can filter out the caption in the message string like below syntax:…

nice article

i agree voted

I agree this would be very a good addition to SolarWinds, as a workaround I use a sam component that simply counts the number of offline nodes and message to tell me what is offline..good to know that maraki has now included this in the API.. $AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12'…

Lol this made my morning Stop, Drop, & Roll - then go into panic mode really enjoy these question on the train to work keep up the good work

‌Good day, i missed this lastnight where can watch it? Many thanks

As soon as i get in im checking out the hidden settings the other day i was playing around with hubble and one the the response times was the business host layer, mm wounder if i tweek these what type of responce times i can generate

There are some messy workout around to get this type of logic, having dynamic calculated would be so so so nice. Not gonna lie about that. There is a way but will require you set up a SQL agent job and run something like this: UPDATE ncp SET ncp.SiteCode = LEFT(n.Caption,6) FROM nodes n INNER JOIN NodesCustomProperties ncp…

Survey completed.

excellent dodo123, voted

can i confirm is this Enable Auto Dependencies? in the polling settings?

you could use another custom property to filter out the nodes from the alerts. something like: group = down AND n_groupalert = True = Alert for group down node = down AND n_groupalert = False = alert for just nodes down something like that? hopefully that helps

you could also use the SDK for this task

I ran in to this exact problem today, Where one CP updates another But the default value keeps change my other CP lol. would be nice to just be able to disable this default behaviour in the website settings +1

yea i definitely agree, testing first, also when using UPDATE statement make sure to put a WHERE on the end of it, iv done a UPDATE before and missed off the WHERE and overwritten allot of data for every node (that was a long night)

It would be very useful to have a drop down to select days then operation hours, will def vote.. I guess.. if you managed to create the report in report writer why dont you just view the SQL in the report writer copy it in the a advanced SQL section on the web based reports the you have the same report in web reports with…

This would actually be very useful. Voting up fooshoo it would also be nice to have permission checker tool built into the Wizard so you can amend permissions if necessary

I like this idea, it's something that can be done with some thought, based on the number of events/ alerts then generate a problem alert. The problem alert is actually very effective for reducing the noise of noisy alerts or to identify reoccurring alerts.. The problem alert logic is actually completely different from the…

cheers mate

Yea, The value will change if something goes down it will pop into warning first then down. Basically, a customer wanted an at a glance view of nodes that were down/up per region. they also threw into the mix that becase they are global they have different operation hours so they don't want to see nodes that are down…
