I would put the department into a custom property, maybe on the node, and use that to filter. (+) THWACK Tuesday Tip :: How to Use Custom Properties to Filter a Widget - Community Announcements - Resources - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

Just throwing it out there, does this apply? https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/server-application-monitor-sam/f/forum/61641/invoke-webrequest-powershell-html-parsing/81623#81623 Also, once you get it working don't forget to move the credentials into the Orion keystore and replace the script values with the…

Generically the answer is yes, but we need to know what conditions you want to alert on, and what Orion products you are running. (There is a line at the bottom of Orion with the installed modules and versions that might help us.)

Yup, you can do it, but it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish and the other software

@"robert777" I think you can also script those updates with the SDK Powershell to list the IPAM credentials in the store: Get-SwisData (Connect-Swis -Hostname OrionServer -Username '' -Password '') -Query 'SELECT TOP 1000 ID, Name, Description, CredentialType, CredentialOwner FROM Orion.Credential where CredentialOwner…

I wish I could help, but it should be where you are looking and I don't think it is anywhere else. Last time I did something similar I exported all my templates to xml and parsed the XML. Ugly but I got the inventory. 

If they are DHCP, they register a name with that server, can you use that? But you can't do anything with just a MAC. You can do frequent discovery on the IPs in a range, but that won't help you if they change. I suggest that if you really need to track the MAC and where it is to get DHCP reservations so the IP won't…

I would be happy too

OK, I tried none of this, but this is close to what you are thinking. First you want to export the node list, either a scheduled report that saves a csv off to a file share (daily, weekly, monthly whatever you need), or you can run PowerShell like: Import-Module SwisPowerShell $creds = Get-Credential $csvdata =…

I use the message center for ad hoc queries, with the Node deleted audit event. You can of course put it into a report and schedule it also. 

Have you seen the product overview? https://youtu.be/1-88SGBfBQ8 In my opinion the device back up capabilities and inventory are what gets NCM in most organizations, but reporting on security and compliance and automation is significant. Also NCM is not vendor dependent, so you can use one application to handle many…

I don't change the poller, but I think what you want gets stamped into the system description for Arista. But maybe 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.10 is closer to what you want:

So system pulse is required by Epic for their support. A great many things will be alerting for them from that tool as well. I don't know anything about how your organization is structured, but let talk about how it works here, and then hopefully you can use it to inform your choices. First, our Epic staff count is a…

Take a look at scripting it: Discovery · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub 

, Round(AVG([Nodes].ResponseTimeHistory.Availability),1) AS [Availability]

If you need all nodes, then making it a left join will help. All the stack members are required to be in this since they all have nodes assigned, and making it a left join takes the entire nodes table. SELECT n.NodeID, n.Caption, n.HardwareHealthInfos.ServiceTag, s.SwitchNumber, s.SerialNumber FROM Orion.Nodes n LEFT JOIN…

That is correct

SELECT TOP 1 Concat(Hour(GETDATE()), ':', Minute(GETDATE())) as [Time] FROM Orion.Nodes In a modern dash KPI widget it looks like: 

Take a look at this: Is it possible to display clock in Solarwinds? - Forum - Server & Application Monitor (SAM) - THWACK Since there isn't a custom HTML widget in the modern dash, he was looking for a similar solution. 

Yup, it builds a command line that can be used in the windows task scheduler. It works, but since you do this daily, I would schedule the mutes just before you need them, say 20-30 minutes before the planned maintenance. 

Take a look at: Getting a nodes resources into powershell - Forum - Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com) I think you would have to get the list of resources/pollers like the example shows, and instead of adding a poller, you would remove it from the list, and then set it. Can't say that I have tried…

I don't have the exact devices you mentioned, but do you see the Wireless controller listed when you look at List Resources? If that is there removing it should keep it off unless it gets re-addded manually or from automated import from Network discovery. If you have too many devices for manual clean up, it might be…

Its a little hard to know how to answer this, you haven't told us exactly what you are trying to do, and what you have tried. I promise that better answers come when you can give the forum more. There are a number of discussions about pulling data from SolarWinds into a CMDB, that thread was about using ServiceNow. Since I…

Have you considered the Tomcat template? Tomcat Server (solarwinds.com) And were you able to get the configuration for the JVM set up described here? Configure Java application servers and JVMs for SAM monitoring (solarwinds.com) I assume if you manually assign the application it comes back as down or with no information? 

This should get you started: Custom properties in the SolarWinds Platform Also take a look at: (16) Custom Properties – The 2020 Edition - YouTube How to Use Custom Properties to Filter a Widget or Resource - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5URcOUUGjBw <- Use the API to script Custom property

How about: SELECT N.Caption FROM Orion.Nodes N Where N.Caption Like '%prod%' AND N.NodeID NOT IN (SELECT AT.Applications.Node.NodeID FROM Orion.APM.ApplicationTemplate AT Where AT.Name like 'specific application template name')

D'oh! yah that's better Seashore

My first thought... No, you can't pull in extra code to make a clock. Butmaybe you don't need a clock, you need the time. Can you can cheat and do something with the last poll time maybe? We have more than enough nodes polling for the time to appear current. SELECT TOP 1 N.LastSystemUpTimePollUtc) as Time FROM Orion.Nodes…

This is what we use: High Availability in SolarWinds products

So you might be able to remove the line about the components if you just care about the application name. My first post was just a list of servers that the software asset inventoried from add remove programs. Its long because I want to to show to much not too little, but you should feel free to tune it how you want it.…
