Very Welcome.

When integrating SolarWinds Orion Platform REST data sources with the Salesforce REST API, pagination does not work automatically because Salesforce does not use traditional page/offset parameters. Instead, Salesforce returns: { "done": false, "nextRecordsUrl": "/services/data/v59.0/query/01gXXXXXXXX-2000", "records":…

SolarWinds Service Desk does not natively replicate the legacy reservation workflow found in SolarWinds Web Help Desk (i.e., calendar-based asset reservation with check-in/check-out controls). However, a workable and supportable loaner equipment reservation system can be implemented using: Asset records Custom fields…

You are encountering duplicate GraphPOID values because your Python automation is likely reusing the same Container/Graph definition object when creating maps through the SolarWinds Orion SDK. In SolarWinds Orion Platform (modern Maps subsystem), GraphPOID is not something you manually generate. It is: Automatically…

Yes — this is a common design issue in distributed polling architectures within the SolarWinds Orion Platform.

Yes, SQL Sentry supports connectivity to a Microsoft SQL Server Always On Availability Groups listener. However, the SQL Sentry Client error — “The SQL Sentry database can't be reached and may be offline” — when connecting via the AG listener name typically indicates a configuration mismatch rather than a product…

If SolarWinds cannot see one 16TB disk via SNMP, while other disks on the same device report correctly, the issue is typically related to one of the following: 32-bit SNMP counter limitations Unsupported storage type in HOST-RESOURCES-MIB Polling method mismatch (SNMP vs WMI/Agent) Indexing issue in hrStorageTable…

To retrieve all alerts from a SolarWinds Orion Platform instance programmatically, you should use the SolarWinds API, specifically via SWIS (SolarWinds Information Service). The API exposes alerts, their properties, statuses, and related metadata. 1. API Endpoint Overview SolarWinds exposes a REST-like interface via SWIS,…

To build a custom HSRP status matrix table in SolarWinds Orion Platform using UNDP-polled HSRP address and state, you will need a SWQL query that: Pulls the UNDP values for: HSRP Virtual IP (HSRP address) HSRP State (Active / Standby / Listen) Groups by Virtual IP Pivots router names into columns Because SWQL does not…

No. You cannot upgrade only the SSH module within SolarWinds. SSH functionality is: Compiled into the Orion platform services Updated only through full platform or module upgrades Not modular or hot-swappable You cannot independently upgrade the SSH component within SolarWinds Orion Platform (including NCM/Config Backup…

To include specific Syslog event details in an alert email using SolarWinds Orion / SWOSH v2025.4.3, you do not need custom SQL or SWQL in most cases. For Log Analyzer (LA)–based alerts, the recommended and supported approach is to use alert message macros (tokens) that reference the triggering log record. Custom SQL/SWQL…

They will again. This platform just has not been working out as they had anticipated. They are working on getting things fixed but it takes time to get everything aligned.

Don't lose hope, sometimes things don't go as planned. If they let Thwack fall into nothing, then you will know the real direction of the corporate roadmap.

I am still trying to believe I am not 26. Well, I am 26 x 2…

Oh, Still didn't win. I demand a recount LOL.

What about December?

Ok I see how you are, pouring salt in my wounds for not winning. Geez.. 😁

Did you get the responses you needed?

In the immortal words of Wolverine…. Let's F… Go!!!

Here is to a New Year of Thwacking Off. LOL

But if you made the requirement to be an MVP or have a certain level of points, they would have to contribute which means, learning, and growing. I think there is a scenario where this could be plausible.

You just solved the why Anna Nicole Smith and J. Howard Marshall got married. They were the same Thwack age…. 😁

I am down with KevinAi. although can we give it a Max Headroom feeling where Kevin's face talks to you while Ai'ing.

Dang it, I just looked and its been almost 14 years for me.

17 Years, seems like only yesterday… plus 16+ years….

Thank you @ChrystalIT I find these good reads. I appreciate you.
