No, there is no built-in setting to enable or display a bell icon for in-app notifications in the user (end-user/customer/requester) view of most common Service Desk platforms, unlike the agent view where it's standard for agents to have a bell icon showing real-time updates (e.g., new assignments, mentions, or ticket…

Unfortunately, without exposed custom CSS/branding controls for the login page (common in SaaS platforms like this), you can't force true auto-scaling like background-size: contain; background-position: center; via user configuration. The redesign approach is what most organizations settle on for similar branding images in…

Yes, the behavior you're seeing in Kiwi Syslog Server NG 1.5 (trial version) is expected and tied to how the Dashboard (specifically the Events widget/table) works in KSS NG. The Dashboard's Events section displays a live, in-memory or buffered view of recent messages (including those forwarded via the Windows Event Log…

Your issue likely stems from the certificate configuration, based on the error in the logs: "The server mode SSL must use a certificate with the associated private key." This is a common .NET-based SSL/TLS error indicating that the selected server certificate lacks its corresponding private key in the Windows certificate…

In SWSD, asset management is handled through predefined modules like Computers (suitable for IP-based IT assets) and Other Assets (ideal for non-IP units like equipment, vehicles, or furniture managed by your non-IT department). In ESM setup where multiple departments can manage separate tickets and assets, with data…

I just wore that shirt this weekend. Mine is a bit tattered at this point. Most of my T-Shirt collection is now sleep shirts for my wife and daughter. Nothing stranger than looking for a shirt and seeing one of the girls in your house walking around it in. Nothing is sacred anymore. LOL.

Well, we have the Minimum Viable Product now. It is improving every day so I would say yes.

I miss my fatheads. Dang wives anyway.

Which begs the question, why didn't I win more. 5 prizes a month is 60 a year, plus bonus missions, and since becoming a MVP in 2011, I have won 2x. Although when Dez was here she and I were pals, so she sent me (her actual) lab coat. Ah the good ol days.

So where is the cool music and Uma? I mean if we have to wait shouldn't there be music?

Verbal irony (most traditional sense): Using words to express the opposite of their literal meaning, often for humor, sarcasm, or emphasis. Example: Saying "Great weather!" during a heavy downpour (you're actually meaning the opposite). Or: "What a beautiful day" when everything is going wrong.

Done.

You know how much I love points. I filled out the survey.

Have you reviewed logs on the install?

Clean Interface Inventory: SELECT n.Caption AS Node, i.InterfaceName AS Interface, i.InterfaceAlias AS Description, i.VlanID AS VLAN, i.OperStatus AS Status, i.AdminStatus AS AdminStatus, i.Speed/1000000 AS SpeedMbps FROM Orion.NPM.Interfaces i JOIN Orion.Nodes n ON n.NodeID = i.NodeID ORDER BY n.Caption, i.InterfaceName…

Yes, the "Database Performance Analyzer - Subscription (Linux)" offering on AWS Marketplace is still valid and actively listed as of early 2026. The product page on AWS Marketplace (search for "Database Performance Analyzer - Subscription (Linux)" or direct link:…

Yes, SolarWinds Service Desk (SWSD) supports reminders for contracts, including renewal/expiration notifications, but not natively for a specific "purchase payment date" tied to a contract's payment terms. From the official documentation and community discussions: Contracts module (under ITAM) allows you to set renewal…

The error 400 you're getting when creating an IPAM.IPNode via SWIS/JSON API is expected behavior — the SolarWinds IPAM API enforces uniqueness on IPAddress within the SubnetId. It does not allow duplicates even across different Hierarchy Groups (those are more for organization/visual grouping, not true namespaces for IP…

Yeah, Grok. Info is valid just my writing style is not as good so I like to have AI generate more technical versions of my rough drafts.

Yes — getting MSSQL write latency consistently under 10 ms is a very common goal (and the exact threshold Orion Insights uses as a best-practice flag for SQL Server). SolarWinds documentation and SQL experts (Microsoft, Paul Randal, SQL Sentry/DPA) all agree: < 5 ms → Excellent / Ideal (especially for transaction logs)…

SEM excels at real-time log collection, normalization, correlation rules, and automated responses — far more than core Orion Platform alerting (which is node/metric-focused and lacks deep event correlation for threats like these). Core Orion alerts can handle some basics (e.g., time-based traffic anomalies via NTA or…

We'll see when the store is online if there are items needing purchased..

Here is the exact solution for your requirement in SolarWinds (SAM / Orion Platform). Since your Windows nodes are added individually (not as cluster objects), the built-in “Service Name = ClusSvc” report doesn’t show anything because the Cluster Service (ClusSvc) monitor is not enabled by default on most nodes. You need…

No — the SolarWinds Platform (Orion) audit logging for the SWIS REST API (Swis.RestEndpoint) does not log the detailed actions or specific queries performed by the API calls. Even after enabling the ServerSpecific setting to allow auditing of successful Swis.RestEndpoint logins (which is why you're now seeing those "User…

Yes — it is possible, but with some limitations because ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ) APs are not full Orion nodes. They are child entities (thin access points) under the single XIQ Orchestrator node you added via api.extremecloudiq.com. How Child APs Appear in SolarWinds The XIQ controller shows as one node (Machine Type =…
-
Yes — your initial thinking is correct. Adding one Azure cloud account in SolarWinds (Settings → All Settings → Manage Cloud Accounts) consumes zero SAM node licenses and gives you monitoring of all discovered Azure resources (VMs, databases, storage accounts, App Services, etc.) plus basic performance metrics (CPU,…

Yes, SolarWinds can cover monitoring the availability of these digital channels using its synthetic transaction monitoring capabilities, which simulate real user interactions (like logins and specific actions) to proactively check if critical flows are working end-to-end. This is handled primarily through: SolarWinds…
-
Yes, this is a known issue tied to Meraki deprecating certain API operations (not the entire v1 endpoint, as the Meraki Dashboard API remains v1-only and the version itself is not deprecated). The full Meraki API v1 is still active and receiving updates (e.g., v1.66.0 in Jan 2026 per recent changelogs), but individual…

The AD Replication report you're referring to in SolarWinds (likely in Server & Application Monitor (SAM) under Reports > All Reports, or a custom report based on the Active Directory Replication template / AppInsight for Active Directory) typically shows high-level replication status (e.g., successes/failures per naming…

The "FQDN Lookup diagnostic timeout" in the Deployment Health tab (under Settings > My Deployment > Deployment Health) is a common but frustrating Active Diagnostics result in recent Orion Platform versions (2025.x+). It occurs when the diagnostic test itself times out (default ~30 seconds for many checks) before…
