I read the penultimate question as "impossible" instead of "possible". 

I. Can't. Wait! Thanks to the SolarWinds Ivory Tower for granting me such a great privilege!

Ran a network discovery and no interfaces were found on 40-some Windows servers polled via WMI. Even while manually listing resources, no interfaces are detected. What's up with that? 

I would say an option shouldn't be explicitly stated on the page if it isn't a right answer. The answer, "in just a few minutes" isn't 10... a "few" is 3-ish, right?

On the entry pages, it says "Insert your thwack username (not your email) to receive credit for answering this survey: " and I use my email address to log in. I have been using my email address as my login and as this entry in missions since october and just realized that the points page shows 0 points for all of the…

Same thing happening here on 2020.2.1 HF2.

Does this query work for you in SWQL Studio?

Here's a script I use that I've adapted to match what you're trying to do here. There are a few differences: * Using the Connect-Swis -Trusted flag is much easier (and more secure) than having a user type their credentials into a script in plain text. If the user running the script can log into SolarWinds using their AD…

It's set to use a custom property value. I see the same though when I log in as full admin. There are a number of "wonky" things in my UI though, so I'll probably just throw this into that file and wait for the ability to upgrade.

This really should be highlighted in at least the upgrade advisor or something similar. This will save me *so much time* tonight with 3 module upgrades. Thanks for the original question josh.l​!

Thanks for the response. These are all servers that fall under the same account limitations as those in the maps and are visible in the node tree when I log in as this user. The view is a basic Summary view. It's strange that a similar rendering "limit" is being imposed on the map resource.

ckillpack@melaleuca.com here's how I adapted the query to use a custom property: SELECT o.AlertConfigurations.Name AS [ALERT NAME], '/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:' + ToString(o.AlertObjectID) AS [_LinkFor_ALERT NAME], CASE WHEN o.AlertConfigurations.Severity = 2 THEN…

I've updated the script to include email addresses and phone numbers. It also uses a more optimized method of creating the team/user object: <# .NOTES ===================================================== Created with: PowerShell ISE x64 Created on: 8/5/2020 2:50 PM Created by: sturdyerde Updated by: chrisorourke Updated…

Navigate to https://<orionurl>/Orion/Admin/AdvancedConfiguration/Global.aspx and Ctrl+F to find the following: EvaluationExpirationCheckIntervalHours EvaluationExpirationNotificationDays EvaluationExpirationShowAgainAtDays MaintenanceExpirationWarningDays MaintenanceExpiredShowAgainAtDays

We have our own ticketing/device portal that we keep all of our device information in, so I have links in each applicable alert to their device information as well. We use a custom property with a device ID that is unique in our portal. Application Alert { "attachments": [ { "fallback": "${N=Alerting;M=AlertName}",…

I came from 2019.4 and I want to say I know it worked as I had it originally written then, but I could be completely mistaken. :shrug:

It's Peak CPU Usage (or Peak Memory Usage) for 8 web servers that all back a single website. I've put both into a view resource and the same two servers in the middle are left out. I'm currently running Orion 2019.4 HF5. I've not moved ahead with upgrading because I have yet to validate that the new widget creation…

This worked for me by alerting just this morning.

Here's the error I'm receiving: *** Assembly SolarWinds.APM.RealTimeProcessPoller, Version=6.2.2.2825, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, .NET version v4.0.30319 ***log4net:ERROR [OrionImprovementAppender] Failed in DoAppendSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at…

I've opened a case with support. I'll let you know the outcome.

Thanks aLTeReGo​! Is there a way to add it as a resource for the entire transaction, or is the default our only option?

So, strangely enough I'm seeing the same issue with the map resources. In the map viewer I'm able to see all dependency arrows, but when I put it into a view, only 6 sets of arrows are rendered. Map Editor: Dashboard View Resource: Any ideas @"KMSigma.SWI" @"aLTeReGo"?

I've had this banner for over a year after installing an evaluation of SCM during my last upgrade. I'd uninstalled the service, ran and re-ran configuration wizards, no dice. BUT! Today, while looking through the Advanced Configuration options for something else, I discovered these bad boys: Set them to zero and voila! No…

You should throw this in over at https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/idb-p/npm-feature-requests and let me know when you do. I'll vote that up so fast!

I use PowerShell for a majority of my calls. This is a script that I use for HA Sync Status. [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 if (-not ([System.Management.Automation.PSTypeName]'ServerCertificateValidationCallback').Type) { $certCallback = @" using System; using System.Net;…

I know this is an old thread, but I was able to add the following (adapted to your query) to get a DetailsURL field in a SQL query: CONCAT('/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:',CAST(Nodes.NodeID as varchar(256))) as 'DetailsURL'

Oh! Having "Security" in the Log Source field could be causing an issue. Event ID 4740 is only used for locked out accounts, so all the extra detail you have the component matching could be throwing it off. Just use the following: Log to Monitor: SecurityMatch only specific IDs: 4740

Perhaps this is a better alternative? I use this in our environment currently. Doesn't depend on the logs being around long enough to react. AD Locked Out Accounts

We have been using this for about 6 months, and the customization available for the slack posts is fantastic! I can attach some examples of our various post types if anyone is interested.
