@"davekokoszyna" - there is not a method for performing transforms on the data in Orion Maps yet. However, you could still simulate this connection to have it represented in the manner you seem to be looking for. In a quick example, I can select two objects (Managed Entity or Image) and click connect objects, which allows…

@"keoki" - Technically this could be done through the database. I have provided a basic example below. You would of course need to update this to fit your needs accordingly. UPDATE [dbo].[Maps_Projects] SET [AccountID] = 'ADMIN-1' WHERE [DisplayName] LIKE '%Test URL%'

In Atlas you either have a grid or you don't. 

@"stuartd" - I think what you are needing to do is map the values within the UnDP tool. This is under Advanced Options, then change the format to Enumeration and click Map Values.

@"martian_monster" - perhaps you meant this lab episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA87jwFrrYg&list=PLSAG2TJPvS5YIsM2X2lhdv5DTbR4HZGoC&index=7&t=1065s This can also be helpful - https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/forum/3447/orion-platform---2020-2---an-orion-map-to-success

Short-hand or an abbreviation for Transmit Utilization and Receive Utilization.

@"higginsc" - This is not possible today with Orion Maps. This is actually not possible when adding any widget to a group details page. For example, you couldn't add a Top XX widget to a Group Details page without it showing up on all other Group Details pages. There has been a workaround in the past with Atlas Maps, but…

Thank you. From what I can tell @"terryk" issue is being tracked, you obviously have a workaround, and I believe a permanent fix for this issue will be delivered in an upcoming release. Thank you for sharing your info and case number. @"s-bolyard" issue is a separate issue that is being investigated. Efforts will continue…

Perhaps you both can clarify. I have not seen this issue if using the Background Image from Map Properties, or if you change the Icon to a custom image from the Properties Panel either. The only scenario in which this has occurred in my tests was if I used the Insert Image from the tool bar. 

The URL scenario was in fact an issue caused to changes made in order to strengthen security. However, as indicated the bug that was caused should be addressed and both static and relative URLs should be working with some changes to how those URLs are formatted. The image issue is something that will need to be…

Thanks for sharing this info @"s-bolyard". Apologies for the headache. Have you by chance generated a support case and can you share that here? Are the images disappearing after an upgrade, or seemingly at random times after they are added? Do you see a similar behavior if you look at the dashboard or map in a different…

Certainly not. I mentioned a number of different tools/ widgets that could be used to create a custom Network Overview above. One that was left out which could be helpful was Status Summary widget too. In general, Network Overview is somewhat of a subjective term. However, if the desire is to recreate the exact same…

@"MEHayes" There is not a method to create a support case here directly in Thwack. While there are many members of SolarWinds and of course the Thwack community that can often assist with a variety of questions, concerns, and knowledge sharing, the best route would be to open a support case through your customer portal to…

For the Topology scenario, I would state that the engine is calculating that info based on information retrieved from protocols like CDP or LLDP as well as ARP and CAM tables. A general list of OIDS is available…

Can you elaborate a bit on your need or what you are hoping to accomplish? Perhaps also provide screenshots to illustrate if you can.

Thanks, yes it looks like it has been escalated and I know those guys will be eager to figure this out with you. I will also follow up with them just to be sure.

@"adam.beedell" To answer this question: I assume as it's a toggle there's a downside here, is it for CPU or DB size or something? There are some limitations to historical tracking as this function is taking snapshots and storing information on everything from all the entities on the map, their connections, status,…

@"tmcurry" Did you already have a support case that I can reference with your issue? If not could you describe it here?

Hello @"MEHayes" - 2 items I would recommend checking if you believe connections are being generated which you don't expect too. First, access one of the devices in question and locate the NPM Network Topology Widget. This is usually available under the Network sub-tab by default. Orion Maps will automatically generate and…

Can you share the links and documentation you are referring too? Perhaps what is difficult to understand? Are you looking to create a sub-view off the main summary page or a completely new standalone view? If you access Settings > All Settings > Add New View, you should be able to create a new Summary view. You can use…

Hello @"adam.beedell" - Really love the questions and info. I tried to answer your questions inline - please feel free to share more but hopefully this helps. Is the time travel feature still implemented? Under what conditions is it available? I've never found the view history icon as pictured above, is that a fault? JB -…

The case mentioned above appears to be working on an issue beyond a maps issue. It looks like you are still working with support which is probably appropriate.

I would recommend trying to follow these steps: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Broken-links-in-Orion-Maps-after-the-upgrade-to-Orion-Platform-2020-2-5?language=en_US If you continue to have issues, open a support case.

This is not possible today, and we do not have a timeline we can share at the moment. 

You can insert images by using the second drop down during a reply. "Insert" will allow you to include screenshots. If you are experiencing an issue, essentially try removing any "&" characters and replacing with "?". You can see a more detailed explanation of what the other customer changed in that second link I shared…

@"fmunoz" I am a little unclear as to the issue you are running into. However see if answers to these threads help in anyway. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/90190/orion-maps-2020-2-5---invalid-url-format…

Thanks for the feedback @"[Deleted User]"! And yes, grab handles would be ideal, but a bit more difficult to implement I'm afraid. Certainly an improvement that makes sense. I could use a bit more elaboration on your "Snap to Object" function. When you say "snap", it sounds like you may be looking for some sort of…

Thanks for the feedback @"dunky2k"! And love the example maps!

I would actually recommend using Orion Maps. Take a look at the "Parting Shots" examples in this post: An Orion Map to Success These are just general examples, but thats the power of this feature! You could certainly recreate this exact view if truly desired. I will try and mock an example up if I get time.
