  • I set the permissions on groups, and move in the subnets by dragging them in We actually break it down by locations and functions deepthan this, but the top level in the image is where we delegate rights. IPAM rights delegation takes a little effort but you can get it done. I assume a script could move the subnets into…
  • I agree with both of the above statements, but if you just need to restart a server at a particular time why not use the built in task scheduler? Keep it as simple as you can and it will be less of a headache. I'd use shutdown.exe (use the /? if you haven't used it, and in the windows taskscheduler of that server make sure…
  • It drives me nuts when the issue doesn't happen in the simulate tool. I would add lines to log the payload actions to a file. My guess is that something doesn't show up right from the variables (or you need to clean up data from a variable by adding an escape character or just replacing it) and the payload formatting is…
  • I just tried it and got the same thing. Not sure what status icon I am pulling, but its not what I think it is. I will keep looking at it.
  • So here they are cdt_mueller, but remember that SQL performance will vary widely from one install to the next based on the modules you have and the amount you have in the system. So I am posting the values so you can see them, but I am not sure how much they will help. I included other stuff to help you decide. I can say…
  • Alerts started as notifications that were displayed on Dashboards, sent as email to the team who needs to fix it, and an incident ticket was created for each event. They were categorized to identify the first responder and the applications impacted. They do go to out NetPerfMon Log. Some do have "clean up" or "fix"…
  • We are very happy with Thycotic Secret Server
  • I see your alias is solarwindsdb my SWIS connections go to my primary polling engine, is that what this alias points to?
  • Not dumb, sorry I could have been better at this. It is Powershell, put it in a ps1 file and run it after putting in an account with admin right to your Orion instance. If you aren't running it from the server you should install the SDK (link below) GitHub - solarwinds/OrionSDK: SDK for the SolarWinds Orion platform,…
  • It occurred to me as well, the code below is the main logic from a powershell script I run. Basically it grabs the IPs in IPAM and not in Orion NPM as a node. In my prod script I also look at the subnet info to output to different places. If its in the first and last few IPs of a range, then I know its a network managed…
  • Bacon Pie!
  • Mine go to "queued" and is listed as a manual scan, but then I almost always have threads running so it has to wait. As soon as a scan stops, it scans the subnet and completes very quickly. Typically its a minute between when I hit it and when it completes (but a larger subnet will take longer). Is it possible that it…
  • If you want something beyond events and built in counters there are a bunch of scripts that you could modify to run and capture other data. That said, what problem are you trying to fix? I always try to start there, when X breaks, Y is like Z. I monitor Y and alert on Z. With AD we haven't had issues that wasn't covered in…
  • With no thoughts from thwack I figured I couldn't do much harm, so I have stopped the RabbitMQ service and removed the files without issue. I am still not sure why these logs grew as large as they did, I can't really read text files that large easily, so after a few days I will look into the contents of the new ones that…
  • I get that info from SELECT SystemName, OperatingSystem FROM Orion.AssetInventory.ServerInformation but only when the node is polled from SNMP not WMI
  • We aren't doing it right now so I can't speak from experience, but I would say that you want to add a node for one of the On Board Administrator IPs. Ensure that the SNMP is configured, and do a SNMPWalk to see your results. You should have some good data to work with. I found others talking about using this info it should…
  • Take a look here: Using Custom Properties sending Alert emails It gave me a great start
  • I wish there was an easy answer here, I struggle at times as well. I don't have a lot of info from your post about how many things you are monitoring, so my suggestions are vague as well. First, pull out the administrator guide for both SAM and NPM, take their requirements for your size and add them together (OK,…
  • If you have UDT this might be more possible, but I don't have that running so I am not qualified to think about what UDT can do, but my default answer is not really, but I'd bet we can still do stuff that makes your life better. I also might misunderstand the question, I am assuming that IPAM discovers "stuff" that you…
  • I can confirm this happens to me as well. Orion Platform 2019.2 HF1, SRM 6.9.0, IPAM 4.9.0, SAM 6.9.1, SCM 1.2.0 HF1, DPAIM 11.2.0, NCM 8.0, VMAN 8.5.0 HF1, Toolset 11.0.8, PM 2.1.7, NetPath 1.1.5, NPM 12.5, NTA 4.6.0 If you open a ticket, let me know with a direct message, and I will also open one.
  • We owned Foglight a few years ago when it was still with Quest, we didn't like the support, and it didn't do anything that everybody else did. We own Virtualization Manager, NPM, SAM, Storage Manager, DPA, and a few others. Being able to tie the data together has real value, even if any specific thing can be found…
  • THWACKcamp 2016 There are watch icons that link to each talk.
  • My gut says no, they will want to step on each other.
  • I can't test it right now since I don't have that custom property, but I think you left the S off nodes, and I changed the " to ' around Domain Controllers LEFT JOIN Orion.Nodes nodes on nodes.NodeID = NodesForecastCapacity.NodeID LEFT JOIN Orion.Settings s ON s.SettingID = 'ForecastMinDays' WHERE…
  • Zooming into a location with a campus is the best part, being able to get details or a high level view fro the same resource is useful. If I had a wish, it would be to convert street address custom property to GPS automatically.
  • Automation is a pretty broad description, what are you trying to do? Sync data between system, use workflows to trigger tasks in Orion, etc? I have tinkered a bit in both system, we push data back and forth between systems, but you may be thinking of the feature in the NPM beta which allows alerts to open incidents and…
  • What is the version of IPAM you have installed, what version of DHCP are you running, and what did the error state exactly? Have you confirmed that the account you use to connect to the server has the correct access?
  • It looks like you are on the right track, from what I see it does use the default sender (screenshots below). However, the alerts allow you to set other senders. So a possible fix is to change the default to the request information, and then make sure your alerts go to the original configuration. This sounds like a good…
  • Try: SysName not like '*sql*' OR not like "*node*" OR not like "*db"
  • Using a clustered SQL instance (failover) or an Availability group on a SQL cluster for always on are supported. Its in the admin guide at: https://support.solarwinds.com/@api/deki/files/10232/NPM_12_0_Administrator_Guide.pdf See page 28 unless you look at this in the future after the guide is updated.
