I would discover your Hyper-v hosts with an admin account, it will see that Hyper-v is enabled, and should automatically add it to the parts of VMan that you want. It will see the VM's on the hosts and when you add them as servers, it will tie it all together (I think it correlates on the IP). The simplest way to see what…

Crowdstrike is easy, do it anytime. We run it here without issue. The STIG question I don't have direct experience with, but I am sure the concern is that installing Orion then applying STIGs could undo some configuration. If I were to run the STIG configs after the install, I might re-run the configuration wizard. Either…

We are using the hosted version, so I added the domain as an external node, and use the SAM https check to get the response code. I also built a Netpath to it. I have considered validating the API, but haven't done it yet. 

SWIS queries need the same rights as getting data from the web console. In this case all auditing events are only seen by Admins. 

One more thing you grabbed the top 100, you might want to sort it to get the 100 you care about. Something like Order by I.InErrorsToday DESC Just add it after the where 

@stuartd Was pointing you in the right direction, you just need to apply it to your case. I changed the alias of N to I since this is the interface view, later if you cut and paste from old queries, I find that it helps to name them the same way each time, and in a way that you know that n.displayname is from nodes, and…

@"KMSigma.SWI" did a great write up too, and scripted parts of the process (+) Importing/Exporting Modern Dashboards - Orion SDK - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com) 

Is there a specific question you have? I would just follow the directions you posted. 

In my service now instance, the values for location are fixed, you select them from a predetermined set of locations. Make sure that your matches. Typically, either the display name or the record ID will work. We do something similar for a CMDB CI field, and there it matches against and number of tables. In that case I…

Yah, security is what I assumed too, I saw ADC in the name and assume they don't want to grant Admin right to everything, which I respect. Agents are absolutely the way to go for that situation. 

Yah sorry, this was a legacy dash. columns with _ at the start and end get used to put formatting into other columns. From your post below you have it working now though

This is from a widget that I use: SELECT '' AS n, n.Caption as NODE, n.IPAddress as IP, n.MachineType As Type, HourDiff(ToLocal(n.UnManageFrom), GETDATE()) as [Hours], CASE WHEN (ToString(Year(n.UnManageUntil)) like '9999' ) Then 'No End Set' Else ToString(ToLocal(n.UnManageUntil)) END AS [End Time],…

A cheat that I have used is to skip the built-in email action and use PowerShell to email, then you can build a template, read it into the body of the email for the header, CSS, footer, etc. I use it specifically when I need to include images (like a logo) to meet some internal email standards which make it easier to trust…

Add Status Description and use that for the Category. 

Have you seen: High CPU alert with list of top ten processes - Alert Lab - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

Try: Orion Platform 2020.2.6 System Requirements (solarwinds.com)

Testing these changes in a lab is always recommended. But... "When you test in production, all the world is your lab"

I think Alerts in DPA can only email. If you had it integrated with Orion, there are ways to send to webhooks directly. There is an API that you can query, but that is something that you would have to build. Learn about and experiment with the DPA API (solarwinds.com) I am not a DPA expert, but I believe that's what your…

I think over 2000 nodes are supported for an engine; this article might help: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/orion_platform_scalability_engine_guidelines.htm Do you need one? Take a look at your polling statistics under All Settings -> Polling Engines That should give you an…

First, this is a good question, and the right time to think about preventing slowness is before you have it. Also, there are built in timeouts for queries, if it runs too long, they stop. Most SWQL when run won't cause an issue, but if you use it to say power an alert that gets check every minute, and another 10 in a…

Yes, create a new report, and you can select how to sort or group as you choose. This article (with videos) might help. But the setting to sort is below, you can set up multiple levels, so sort by type then name, etc. Create a custom report (solarwinds.com)

I have been known to liberate icons from solarwinds.com product pages from time to time to spruce up diagrams. The forum icons here aren't bad either. But I have nothing ready for Visio. 

Use the alert action of Alert A that sets a custom property. Use the value of the custom property to exclude it from Alert B and C. When A clears, use the same action to set the custom property to re-enable the B and C alerts. Change a custom property alert action in the SolarWinds Platform

Also review: SolarWinds Platform requirements it has the DB requirements there and confirms what @"Seashore" stated. 

There is no undo, they don't store a history of the property data. There are events to tell you that they changed. 

Generally, the node IP is what you contact to get information, and for system with many IPs, I poll a management IP with SNMP (or other protocols) and alert on the status set by the device in that set up data. If you need to ping every interface, you can, but generally if a device has multiple IPs the monitoring server…

I do not believe tokens are a supported method: Connecting to SWIS · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

I agree, the key won't work to allow an additional web server, and you can't set up a Main polling engine to act like just a webserver. It definitely needs to go through your account people. 

I see dashboard in the title, is this a legacy dashboard or a modern dash, and which widget are you trying to use? 

Do you have SAM and AppInsight for AD running? Try disabling that. Also what accounts do you have set up to poll WMI on servers
