Mapping Cloud resources

What Solarwinds products do you own and what types of things do you want to inventory? Server & Application Monitor, Network Configuration Manager, and Server Configuration Monitor all have some built in Asset Inventory. 

Yes, we do that using the Perfstack feature, although there are several ways. Basically any statistic you collect in any of the Orion modules can be charted over time from any system. Perfstack lets you look at current or historical timeframes. https://www.solarwinds.com/perfstack 

We send alerts to Slack or Teams and let the app jingle the phone as they see fit, or email the SMS text number of cell phones. Clearly not fully functional Orion, but it gets the job done. Some people forward the alerts on to other stuff, think PagerDuty or OpsGenie or one of a number of things. 

I don't have an active demo running to test, but I don't see a direct filter besides the incident ID in the API: Incidents (solarwinds.com) You might have to pull the incidents, then filter it. Let me know how this goes. 

You will configure them separately: Add a DNS server (solarwinds.com) Add, edit, or remove a DHCP server to IPAM (solarwinds.com) 

My first API pollers were Microsoft 365 and Service Now right out of the box with the last update. I have also hit various SaaS apps, things like login tests, or pulling availabilty status from things like Zoom. On my list to work on... lots of infrastructure stuff. I see in the thread a bunch of people saying we don't…

As you likely have guessed there is a lot of ways to do this, and you seem like you are on the right track. I do recommend Custom Properties to break out nodes in Orion, that way its easy to use them to power reports, groups, dashboards, alerts, any anything with a custom query. If you are using the older widgets, then…

I don't think that NTM has been updated in 5 years (I could be wrong) so that tells you something. I do have a NTM license. I also have Orion maps. I haven't used NTM since Orion maps came out. The only advantage to NTM is that if you are limited in licenses in Orion, you might not be able to map everything, because Orion…

Its not what you want to hear, but this likely needs a ticket opened with Support. You've done a lot, and it hasn't helped, and they will find a way to get you going. 

So lots of people pull Orion data out and use it in other stuff. It can be as simple as running a report on a schedule saving to a share as CSV for something else to pick up and use, to scripting an export of queries using the API then taking the data and sending it into another system. How would you want Qualys to take…

What have you tried? If I got that page, I would the following, checking the site after each step: restart services, restart server, Re-run the configuration wizard, then open a support ticket for system down. 

I don't think this is what you think this is. 

@"KMSigma.SWI" this might be a good 'THWACK Tuesday Tips - IT Service Management. topic

OK, I managed to get your err. My account was fine, a non-existent account did nothing. A test account with admin rights also worked, until I took that away, and then I saw your error. I think your account doesn't have access to the credentials table maybe? Try another account and maybe it changes. 

looks like the post shorten the working url, but are you good now? 

Looks like a missing period between [CPU] and Nodes in the group by. Try the line below. GROUP BY [CPU].Node.Vendor

This is an open ended question, and you don't really tell us enough about what you are trying to get data from, and how you want to use that data to give you specific advice, but let me throw some stuff out there. I would look at the interface stats from that device, and the default charts do have ways to export tables of…

I don't have the code you want, I prefer PowerShell and python, but I have done similar projects, and hope that something I say will help you. I have found its better to add the new node by using the API to add to a discovery task with automatic import rules to get it all set up correctly for monitoring, and have a 2nd job…

When you go to: https://<your_server>:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Query?query=SELECT+ID%2c+Name%2c+Description%2c+CredentialType+FROM+Orion.Credential What do you get? You may have to accept the certificate (which is self signed) and provide credentials but the you should get the correct results.

Yes, the node you will monitor is the Domain controller (s) that have the groups. When someone changes a group, events are logged (see the last post). Use SAM's event log component, 1 for each group, to watch for the events.…

Without access to the device in some way you can't tell that you are only hitting servers. Our internal standards have use placing certain things in certain parts of the network. Network gear for routing and switching goes in a specific range of each subnet. Servers, VIPs, virtualization hosts, storage gear, etc they all…

So I prefer to stick to application stuff with SAM, and leave this type of thing to my security focused tools, but SAM is incredibly flexible. If your domain controllers aren't to busy, it should be fine to look for the event IDs Event ID 4728 indicates a 'Member is added to a Security Group'. Event ID 4729 indicates a…

If node down works, you likely need different variables for the payload. In your alert, you can place this into an alert and work out the correct variables. You will want all of them to show the correct data so that { and } don't break up the payload and cause the request to fail. { "title": "ALERT TRIGGER:…

I email to the SMS listeners of the provider. I think (hope) all these work. * T-Mobile – number@tmomail.net * Virgin Mobile – number@vmobl.com * AT&T – number@txt.att.net * Sprint – number@messaging.sprintpcs.com * Verizon – number@vtext.com * Tracfone – number@mmst5.tracfone.com * Ting – number@message.ting.com * Boost…

I would export the custom properties, fill them missing things back in, and import it from the Manage Custom Properties settings page.

Its an old post but I think has what you want. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/resources/b/geek-speak/posts/the-basics-of-powershell-part-3 Your script exit code will provide status to Orion for the component, and in the script, you can have pairs of Messages and Statistics (its either 5 or 10 per component) and you can…

I went with other, the biggest issue is that there is only one me, and 450 other IS staff to update everything else. Its hard to keep up with all of it. 

I don't think I have all your answers, but what came to mind is the Orion Remote Collector. When you have multiple polling engines you can collect from multiple nodes with the same IP, and however the traffic is routed from the engine will determine what gets monitored. ORC's are basically mini polling engines, so I would…
