@"mark.johnson-TEN" - Unfortunately it is not possible to manually connect 2 shapes, but it is possible to connect 2 images. Curious if you can elaborate more on your specific use case. Are you looking to have a topology connection between those objects or are you just wanting to represent a relationship by drawing a line?…

@"avrilspirit" and @"icarriere" appreciate the feedback! I have subscribed to both those feature requests as well as added some comment/ questions in some cases. I won't reiterate them all here but they are certainly items that will be considered in future Orion Maps releases. While we strive to address as many use cases…

@"rocco_2016" the Configuration Wizard is ran for each scalability engine. It always begins with the Primary and then each scalability engine subsequently follows.

@"s-bolyard" can you share a look at the dashboard that includes the map widget? The map widget does try to autofit your map into the available space. At some point the scale is going to be considered. It will depend on the column width and height of the widget to fit it perfectly. Have you tried adjusting scale of the…

@"tmcurry" - unfortunately from a look at the Agent Management schema that data is not federated as of yet and therefore not possible to query from EOC. We will take this as a feature request. Can you elaborate a little on your use case and the report you are trying to obtain just so we are aware of the end goal?

@"alephtav" Thanks for sharing. I actually looked in on the case throughout the week and saw that note on Friday. I think we have good information on the issue and hope to have this mitigated in the future. Thanks for sharing feedback.

@"chippershredder" - just to clarify - when you say site, are these the Groups you added to the WorldWide Map? Is it only from the WorldWide Map Widget, or if you go to Enterprise Groups in EOC and just try to access one of those groups, are you seeing expected behavior? Have you thought about using Orion Maps to mimic…

@"tmcurry" There is not a way to edit an existing view without pushing a change so to speak. Either you are making a change or not. The only option would be to access Manage View or Dashboards, duplicate the view, call it TEST NEW or whatever you need to, make the changes, and you just don't add that to a public menu. You…

@"dav_thwack_20" Thanks for the request! Certainly something that is coming up and has already been voted on multiple times here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/Orion-Map-Resource-allowing-per-Group-Map-Selection/idi-p/561902 There is even a work-around suggested that might be feasible for you. As a…

@"haris_salim" This may also be helpful from @"aLTeReGo" How-to-Migrate-Orion-to-a-New-Server-With-Zero-Downtime

@"mark.johnson-TEN" Thanks - so you have a workaround for now correct? And we will investigate further. Appreciate it!

@"alephtav" can you generate a case and share the number here? We would need diagnostics and would like to investigate. I have only ever heard of the one other case of this occurring. Please let me know and we can take a look.

@"mark.johnson-TEN" as @"aLTeReGo" stated - what browser are you using, and curious, are you editing from an RDP session on the actual server? Do you see this problem if you simply use a browser without the RDP session?

@"dunky2k" There are limitations which were put in place in order to ensure you do not impact both performance of Orion and/ or your database. Storing these maps take into account all the details such as the entities and all their properties, their position on the canvas, status at each interval, their connections/…

@"ajiwanand" - There are two different versions of maps. There are the Contextual Sub-view maps which are dynamic and should automatically be kept up to date based on membership. These maps are located as a tab under the Group Details view, on the left hand side. These maps cannot be customized due to their dynamic nature,…

@"rd2627" Can you show me an example of where you have Netflow included on a Network Atlas Map? To be honest, this has never been possible, so this would be something new to either feature should it ever be implemented. Its a great idea, but not something that existed in Atlas before Orion Maps was developed or exists as a…

@"omavel" it is not possible to draw a basic line in Orion Maps today, and unfortunately IPSLA operations do not create a connection. There are still a lot of options however. You can add the IPSLA operation itself to the map, and you will likely see dependency connections to the corresponding device. You may choose to…

Interesting @"kip1979" - I saw that this was posted on Redit as well so hopefully we can help answer here and share the response over. First, you mentioned that you have edited the node details pages to have all relevant info at the top of the page. What is that info? What are you wanting to see on each server?

Thanks for sharing @"xtraspecialj" - I will try to look into it and see if there is something we can do.

@"jvoss" This is a great request - thank you for writing it up. As @"stuartd" mentioned this is something that I have certainly discussed with a number of customers in the very same position and is certainly something we are researching. As a first step - if you could direct message or email me some example maps & also…

@"jpaluch" - yeah that all just depends, it sounds like you use the Group for the Status roll up, and then link that to a custom dashboard. You could do that, or you could just create a map... but I have a feeling you are using dynamic queries to build the group, and then link to a custom view that has widgets that can't…

@"jpaluch" what I think you are saying is that you use a group, and then have it link to another view from the "canvas" of Atlas. Please correct me if I am wrong. In this latest release I demonstrated this very quickly above so you could have missed it, but you have the ability to adjust the hyperlink of any SHAPE, IMAGE,…

@"stuartd" Yes - the new enhanced volume status is for any volume entities in Orion. I would imagine those are certainly covered. Where before you either had really an up/down status and that was it, you should now have greater flexibility with the volume itself, as well as choosing whether to have that contribute to node…

@"william.evans" - This is certainly not a new norm by any means. I am sorry to hear you are having difficulty but would love to assist where I can. I reviewed a number of support cases and for the most part appear to be resolved or the support team provided the information you were looking for. I will see if I can get…

@"Solaiy" wrote:Hello all, Hope you are doing well & good. I'm having a very basic question here. I have researched this so many times, but couldn't find an appropriate striking answer. Can you please let me know what's the difference between elements & components in SolarWinds. How they are differentiated..? Also what's…

@"brentbo" What version are you running at the moment? With the previous 2019.4 release of maps, we made it possible for users to create custom defined connection where topology was not automatically detected. This can be see specifically here: 2019.4 Orion Maps Now Available! - By creating that connection, you will have…

@"stuartd" Yes - I would certainly suggest testing this out for the maps portion. There are however a wealth of other improvements and enhancements that I think you would also be interested in so you don't have to base your deployment of the new version solely on maps. Check out some of these other posts: ORION PLATFORM…

@"acandell" Looks awesome! Selfishly I would love for you to email me, or DM me, or share here if you want/ can, what type of map you are creating and why - and the end result. Its great to understand the different ways in which you are using the tool. 

@"hsh" Thanks for sharing! This is certainly something we need to do better with. We definitely have some thoughts around how to improve this in maps. I am not quite sure if removing one metric from the pill will solve it. In general a few things come to mind: * Perhaps we need to ensure we provide the ability to…

@"hjarriell" No there is not at this time. I assume you are referring to something similar to this image: I won't be able to get rid of the link that is represented between the two nodes. It exists because of the connections between the two interfaces.
