It really shouldn't be different.

So if you just want to say that you don't like it, I hear you. But I am just a user on a user forum, I can't tell you why because you aren't asking the people who made the choice, although I expect its because SolarWinds products supports a wide array of vendors and products, and what people expect varies greatly. They…

So that exact feature is in in the NPM beta right now. If you can't wait, I have some sample PowerShell code that can be triggered in the custom action, but its nowhere near production ready, just something that I tinkered with. Our mandatory fields likely don't match yours, and the values might be different. We have at…

achrry1 What kind stuff do you want to do? What problems do you want to solve? Plenty of us will be interested to dive in.

I should be able to dig one up, its a much simpler solution. Maybe even drop the one onto Orion and pull it from there. Edit: I should say that I don't pick the format/image, we have a specific approved formatting for message I am matching so users know the content came from IT. Otherwise just any logo image from the site…

I think that will work, do you have what you need to do it?

It was, don't have that in front of me.

Yup

If you are logged into the Orion server and can't ping an address, then either turn of scanning for that subnet and manually set status for each IP in IPAM for that subnet, or permit ICMP traffic from that subnet (and all the stops in between). If the ping can't get through the network, then IPAM won't have any ability to…

If its a service, the WMI will be fine for any windows server you have access to. If you don't see it there, it's likely not actually a service. Use the Process monitor instead, which has a WMI or an SNMP version. If you are using SNMP v3, its likely secure enough, but I completely understand wanting to use WMI. I think it…

Native is fine, we use it on all our IBM instances. We use net-SNMP on all our Linux instances and its fine too. Just remember to configure it completely. Start simple, use the v2 community name and walk it locallay (SNMP command line tools - SNMPWALK, SNMPGET - Examples ) and then walk it from the Orion server (Run…

That is a good question, I don't know a better way, but maybe someone else does. I will toss this in front of people who might.

Agree, a 4+ hour upgrade with multiple products installed a year ago was expected. Now with most of the Orion products and their hotfixes included in a single run, My actual time down was under 30 minutes.

Many of the monthly contests can get you up to 3000 points each, you will be there in no time. Each month is a new topic, this month is SQL: THWACK MONTHLY MISSION- SEPTEMBER 2016 Also did you complete the on boarding mission? That's 1500 points, it won't take long and you will know your way around thwack. You Don't Know…

SAM is very flexible, but VMan is the best way to get the topology

The inner join had to flip to a left join to make it work. (the left join says I want all from nodes table even if not in the AlertSuppression table, the inner join grabbed only rows with matches which is why it didn't work for you.) SELECT n.Caption as NODE FROM Orion.Nodes n Left Join Orion.AlertSuppression MUTE ON N.URI…

I think the 1 GB MSMQ cache can be increased to buy you more time MachineQuota | Microsoft Docs But I have no idea if Orion will accept that.

If you are getting and alerting on Traps, the the ICMP should be fine, but I set up the SNMP community on the ilo itself and added it as an SNMP node.

Do you have an open case with them right now?

Yup, When the success center was added lots of stuff moved. I updated some links.

That is beyond anything I have had to do. My gut tells me that it can be done. I dropped links to some of the other templates that might help. Some likely aren't specifically for your setup but do allow ports to be configured. Its possible they will show you what to do. Hopefully somebody with more JMX experience jumps in.…

If they want to talk about this ping me directly. It not that sophisticated but it can be useful and there are lots of ideas that can work via REST. Pre-integration I was making incidents via powershell too. If you use other modules you may want to send data other spots too (events?) and I also help populate the CMDB via a…

All three queries return results for me when I use a subnet that makes sense here. I am on Orion Platform 2017.3 sp5, IPAM 4.6 Occasionally when stuff like this happens I rerun the Configuration wizard to attempt a repair.

He might be, but when I struggle in the GUI SWQL is my go to

I think @"holleyc77" wants the CDC anywhere in the name, but @"wilder"'s example gets it done if its always a prefix. If needed anywhere in the name it would look like: Caption Like '*CDC*' If you need to figure out if its virtualas well, it may not have that condition ready for you. Stringing conditions can be done with…

Nimble is likely fine, but you can use SAM to watch sqlservr.exe (or just assign the SQL AppInsight monitor) to find out exactly how many IOPs you are doing and run it past the admin that owns Nimble. We are also completely virtual, and its fine (Primary, 2 additional polling engines, and just recently 2 additional web…

@"brscott" brings up good points, and I remember starting out my Account rep was able to get me in tough with an Engineer to help design the system correctly. That type of session may help here as well, so you can accurately describe your goals and current environment. There are a number of things to consider and you…

I am not a universal poller guru, I suspect it can be done, but since I have SAM, its easiest to turn it into an application monitor. Create a a new template, add three SNMP monitors, name them and update the OIDs. Once the app monitor is running its just like getting anything into perfstack.
