what applications of SolarWinds are you looking to connect to? 

The easiest place to work this out is in SWQL Studio in the SDK. Here I right clicked the "Orion.Nodes" view and made a SWQL statement, deleted out a bunch of stuff to get the NodeID and Caption, then I put an alias over "Orion.Nodes" called "N", slapped it in front of my 2 columns, and added a third. This lets me use the…

Post what you have so far and what you want to add I might try something like: SELECT [NODES].Caption, [NODES].MachineType, [NODES].IP, [NODES].Vendor FROM Orion.Nodes [NODES] where [NODES].Vendor in ('Cisco', 'Windows', 'VMware Inc.') And if you need a list of Vendors in use: SELECT DISTINCT [NODES].Vendor FROM…

Does this help: (+) SWIS REST API Port Deprecation, did you know? - SolarWinds SDK - The SolarWinds Platform - THWACK It might be the port is now 17774 

I do hardware on ESXi servers and I use vCenter event alerts

For a node property of address, the field would look like: ,i.Node.CustomProperties.Address 

I would leave the status to use the other states, but adjust your alert to be active only on 'Down' and I'd bet you have it set to 'not up' 

Is the department custom property assigned to the Node? Did you call it Department or Something else?

From my experience, it will be fine. 

There is no load balancing without using a load balancer

Are you testing the monitor against the same device you are logged into and running the console? Servers without logged in users wouldn't normally have the explorer.exe running

Add them to a discovery job scheduled to run daily, as they come online, they get added

I don't have a way to test at the moment, but I am thinking something like this will get close SELECT A.[DisplayName] AS DeviceA_Name, A.[CustomProperties].[DeviceType] AS DeviceA_Type, B.[DisplayName] AS DeviceB_Name, B.[CustomProperties].[DeviceType] AS DeviceB_Type, A.[CustomProperties].[Site] FROM Orion.Nodes A JOIN…

I googled "SolarWinds Asset Management" Try the top results IT Asset Lifecycle Management. What is it? | SolarWinds Asset Management Software – Web Help Desk | SolarWinds

Take a look at: Set up an alert when a node or interface is deleted (site.com) There are many events, and they should cover what you need. 

Here's a sample, first I change to GB, then I round to the first decimal place. SELECT --Data that I need -- Volume Name, status, URL, size, free space (GB), % free [Volume].[DisplayName] AS [Volume Name], [Volume].[Status] AS [Volume Status], [Volume].[DetailsURL] AS [Volume URL], Round(…

Also, how are you getting status? SNMP and WMI default to ICMP (pretty reliable) and agents use the agent update (less reliable in my experience) IF these are agents, consider moving the status (edit resources) to ICMP while you troubleshoot why agent updates are having issues. 

Those are the default pages used in the site. They are linked to in the menus and used in links from page to page. I would leave them alone. I can't imagine they will cause you trouble. 

Lots of ways to get stuff like this done. Easiest might be to go to the legacy node management page, sort by interefaces and search for tunnel. edit/delete what you want. If you need more automation, consider the SDK, you can query using SWQL and Here's an example clean up powershell script (works where the SDK is…

I support everything @"vinay.by" says! 

They recommend keeping the Main Polling Engine with the database either in the cloud or on Premise. However, if you put those in the cloud, you can have Additional polling engines local to the thing that you monitor. See the install guide: Deploy SolarWinds Platform products to Microsoft Azure

So once you have added the device, yes, topology is calculated, and CDP is one of the things used. You can use a report with SWQL (not SQL) like: SELECT N.Caption AS [Local Device], CDP.IPAddress AS [IP Address], CDP.DevicePort AS [Local Interface], CDP.DeviceId AS Device, CDP.DevicePort AS [Remote Interface] FROM…

In your Network discovery profiles, you can automatically add devices with pre-defined settings. If the ports are named a specific way, or have the properties you can look for, then use that to add what you need. If you are looking for something else, tell us how you identified 'stuff' you want to see. 

I think SAM is: Exit Code Meaning 0 Up 1 Down 2 Warning 3 Critical Any other value Unknow But the StatusInfo view in SWQL also has the following (and you can use that data in your custom queries for dashboards):…

I would query it with PowerShell in the SAM PowerShell script component. Pulling the info should be something like: <pre class="code codeBlock" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0"> Get-NetTCPConnection | Select-Object LocalAddress, LocalPort, RemoteAddress, RemotePort, State, OwningProcess, @{l="Name"; e={Get-Process -Id…

Can you upgrade without a reboot? Yes. But ideally you run it with no pending restarts, and during the upgrade the application will be offline. 

Re-run the configuration wizard on the web server, make sure to configure the https certificate. If that doesn't help, open a ticket with support. 

I just tried a custom property with an underscore, and it failed for global filtering. I think that's it

I like the dash here: (+) SolarWinds Orion Platform Status Overview - Modern Dashboards - The Orion Platform - THWACK it has a credential search that will help you track it down.
