It either does not have the items looked for, or doesn't have rights to read the data, or the data can be read (maybe WMI corruption?)

It's odd that you had issues with the reports. I think the easiet way to get this done is to make a new report for nodes, add the node name and EngineID and then group by Engine. If you want to see the Engine server name you might need to join tables or I just used SWQL: SELECT N.DisplayName, N.Engine.DisplayName FROM…

Did you try: Success Center (solarwinds.com) 

if it asks, yes. You will want to make sure all your polling engines are at the same Admin service level. It will not force a restart or interrupt your server.

The Windows service monitor allows you to set the 'down' to 'Not Running' which turns blue and the app isn't down. But of course this means that you need to write your alert correctly, looking for at least 1 of the two services 'Running'. Alternatively, if you are using SQL Availability groups, you can check the status of…

Add it like a linux server using SNMP

Mark it as an issue on the github repo, its watched. 

It should match whatever you need to do it in the website, so I would head into the IPAM module settings and grant it the rights there to do what you need. 

Loved this Pivot post, and I generally love navigation properties. I have one use case where I avoid navigation properties, and that is SWQL for Modern dashboards. The URL based global filters won't work, so specifically for things like team dashboards that you want to filter one dash for many groups with custom…

Start here: GitHub - solarwinds/OrionSDK: SDK for the SolarWinds Orion platform, including tools, documentation, and samples in PowerShell, C#, Go, Perl, and Java. and since you want Python: GitHub - solarwinds/orionsdk-python: Python client for interacting with the SolarWinds Orion API And look at the queries here to give…

Yes, in the alert trigger set it to require all conditions, and set both sides as down.

Also here's the link to the SDK if you need it: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK and more threads that might help at: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk 

Yes, its exposed in the API, off Orion.AlertActive This thread should help: (+) Reset an alert via Powershell/SWIS - Orion SDK - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com) 

No

That's a good point, and when we have a client with an agent out in sites, I will only test 1 or 2 netpaths from it. However, if you have tech like SD-Wan that can alter the path to the site (by picking direct internet, or providers, or back to the data center then out) It really needs that test from the client subnets. 

@"mahewu" I am just going to throw these out there, first if you need to update the MIB database, it's in the first link, and also some information about how MIBs are used by Solarwinds/Orion platforms. MIB Database | SolarWinds Customer Portal The second link is to a class on polling data that isn't there out of the box…

Yes

You should be able to use Linux/Unix Script Monitor (solarwinds.com) just set the auth to use a private key

Very nice @"Jovetic1981" 

If you can poll the IP of the actual web server(s) or have access to the OS then you can monitor it. If you don't have access, then obviously they are on their own until you can get it.

Admin rights to the server are the same no matter how you get them. If is a local account in the admin group or a domain user, or the Domain Administrator, they act the same. However, policies both local and from the domain's GPO's can impact your ability to install and configure software. By default, nothing should…

I use: Tracelog - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn

Orion's SAM component can handle. Just make sure you configure it to get the data you want. It gathers the URLs response code, 200 for a successful page load, 403 for access denied, etc. It also examines the certs, and you can get much of what you need from that. HTTPS Monitor (solarwinds.com)

I support this message

You will likely need to script it and have the alert call the script. The script connects to Cherwell, opens the INC, returns the number, and then stamps that back into the alert notes. 

You would need to expose the queries (I assume REST? ) so that your polling engine can talk to it. Assuming its rest, I would validate the queries to Thingsboard using curl or Postman and see that you can connect, and that you get back usage replies. Then I would use that config in Orion, both those function to read API…

I think we are unclear how to help, you stated there is not connection from the thing you want to monitor back to SolarWinds. If there isn't a connection, there isn't a solution. 

I don't know if there are any hotfixes planned, but the platform is on a quarterly release schedule ( 2023.2 was released in April, the start of the second quarter) 2023.3 would be scheduled for the third quarter, so I would guess sometime in July, but that is just a guess. 

It's just nice to see you finally cracked the top half.
