The SWQL behind the dashboard, do they explicitly use JOIN to bridge from nodes to custom properties? So this doesn't get filtered by global filters SELECT N.Caption, N.CustomProperties.Team FROM Orion.Nodes N But Using the JOIN should be fine SELECT N.Caption, NCP.Team FROM Orion.Nodes N Join Orion.NodesCustomProperties…

You say the agent is there, and you can manually poll via WMI. Uninstall the agent. Change over to WMI polling, do you get the interface stats? If not, delete the interface, and re-add it. If you don't get interface stats, check the other stats like disk and cou/ram to make sure they are current. If they are good, it's…

Self signed certs are the default, do you trust it? How are you making the connection? 

I agree, down in the Verbs section. 2024.1 swagger: Swagger UI (solarwinds.github.io) or find the version you need: SolarWinds Information Service v3.0 Schema Documentation Index 

I strongly suggest you take advantage of the resources available to get you started: New to SolarWinds | SolarWinds There's a lot to learn, but it's worth your time. You want: Monitor, alert, and restart a Windows service with SAM from the knowledge base in the customer support site.…

HCO does support them, I have 2024.1 and its fine

Orion Maps are supported in the current version (not Network Atlas). Just add a blank widget and search for the Mapp Widget from the empty dash like any other addition. 

@"stevenstadel" gave you good pointers for info, but also take a look at: Self-Led Onboarding | SolarWinds Success Center It seems like this is all new to you, so definitely spend some effort understanding SAM, it will help you get this stuff done. 

Yes you can assign default pages to the login group/user, but I personally recommend just asking them to make Dashboards. 

The SWQL below can go into a dashboard or report. This finds windows servers and needs the Asset Inventory to be collected. ALso remember that the inventory is polled on a cycle and may be a few days out of date. SELECT N.DisplayName, N.IPAddress, Max(N.AssetInventory.OSUpdates.InstallDate) as [Last Update install] FROM…

I have the Enable Level set to enable, but otherwise we are the same and successfully backing them up. 

Upon completion of the installation you just need to restart your server. Go ahead and stop them, its happened to me before. Its likely an issue with the agent install. 

It's an event, but "volume disappeared" might be what Orion shows it as, not what it logs. Its certainly not an event that pops up when you look at events from the alert. I think that data lives in the Auditing Events I would bet that 'Volume disappeared' is really deleted by system. I could be wrong. One of the reasons…

I think the events live in: Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering/Operational and you want ID 1641 Powershell run on the SQL server can pull it with: Get-winEvent -ComputerName ListnerName -filterHashTable @ {logname ='Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering/Operational'; id=1641}| ft -AutoSize -Wrap And if you prefer to get…

I get emailed when the engines failover using the built in settings. Configure SolarWinds Platform High Availability settings However, if you are muting/unmanaging these then alerts won't help directly, but you can set alerts on DNS changes in IPAM or for a node (on the IP that floats between engines). Something like this…

Do you have the credentials in the SAM credentials store? Try Windows PowerShell Monitor (solarwinds.com) 

Not there, I add them all, then have PowerShell jobs that help me clean up volumes I don't want. Once I delete the ones I don't want, they show in the discovery results so they can be ignored and not added again. 

Re-run Network discovery to import those. I have regular job scheduled to keep interfaces and volumes up to date, I automatically and them based on 'monitoring settings' tab so things that I know I want are just added. Other stuff shows in the results, which you can then add or ignore. 

You didn't specify what doesn't populate, but it is documented what should populate: CMDB classes targeted in Service Graph connector for SolarWinds (servicenow.com) If what you want isn't there, I am not sure if you can add fields. If it is there, you should be able to dig into the connector and find the queries sent to…

You do not need Network Topology Mapper. It hasn't been updated in years and won't help you in Orion. It does figure out topology using routing tables and Cisco discovery protocol, any maybe more that I am not aware of. Dependencies are the term for things that related. Topology is one type and can lead to devices that are…

Generally anything you do adds work, but Monitoring is not a heavy load. Most SQL servers won't notice the work, but you should be careful as you add it on and pay attention, maybe add development or test servers first. 

My understanding is that REST calls only support Basic authorization, so you likely need an Orion/HCO or domain account to access it. SAM can use bearer token to pull data, but I don't think there is a way to pull data from the platform like that. Take a look in SWQL studio from the Orion SDK and the connection types…

The install is on the main polling engine. Go to yourserver/.../polling-engines-details and you will see a download installer link in the top right of the page. You can increase the capacity of the additional polling engine up to four times, it's called a Stacked polling engine. The ability to do that is based on the…

I do it differently. Via a PowerShell script I grab a list of production windows servers, build template xml files, import and assign them. It can handle port monitors, http(s) URLs, services and processes. (I normally skip adding processes, and just add services. I had an old version shared, but it will error out today.…

Does this help? Concat Orion Variable with string in SWQL? - Orion SDK - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

It's just the items you set in the Email settings: And that can be replaced when needed SMTP configuration and email settings for scheduled reports and alerts in Orion (solarwinds.com) 

I would look at the OIDs in the post below: Get SNMP info from Ricoh Laser Printer - How? : r/sysadmin (reddit.com) More details: Microsoft Word - PrivateMIBSpecificationV4_050-3.doc (iobroker.net) But yah, if Ricoh has that information in the exposed SNMP data, then you can collect it. If you just have NPM you might…

Then you should be able to edit or create new report for the timeframes you need. 

Then you should be able to edit or create new report for the timeframes you need. 

I might need more information to assist. For example, how much data is in the Orion database that you can pull report data from varies based on your retention settings. Article Detail (solarwinds.com) Now a report that pulls data can be scheduled, and the results can be saved (say to a file share or email) How long that…
