The reply from @"bharris1" is definitely the correct answer here. There is some bug in the 2019 and 2018 versions of the Orion platform where the Cortex_documents table doesn't get cleaned up when it should. The Cortex services are very chatty so over time the record count gets into the millions, causing general…

adatole‌, Just wanted to make a note of something here. In the document there isn't a mention of what the polling interval is set to. I assume it is set for 300 seconds is that correct?

No I don't have an import script at this time. However I do understand the need to have one. I have around the same amount of alert rules (we have a very large NPM/SAM deployment). There is an "import" function as documented in the OrionSDK wiki here: Alerts · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub I wouldn't expect it taking…

This is an excellent point! Thank you for sharing this tip and good advice. I'll update in a bit...

Sorry about that drfaria​! I forgot that this report had my environment's SQL instance name hard coded in it. It has been removed from the report template. Go ahead and re-download the template and try again. It should work now.

Running the LEM 6.1 installer in Windows 8 compatibility mode (shim) worked for me. Thanks mlavender14‌ for sharing!

Update: I found the cached node resources in the `NodeListResourcesCache` table in the Orion database. You can run this query to view the top 1000 cached entries: ``` SELECT TOP (1000) [NodeId] ,[CachedTime] ,[CacheBlob] FROM [NodeListResourcesCache] ``` The cached resources for each node will display only if the cache…

(FYI - Article location has moved to here: Success Center ) This is something that I am working through as well. Figuring out how to force a new cache refresh every week (or even every month) would be ideal for my use case. I'm browsing the database structure now, looking for where the cached resources are located....

I'm still working on building a UDP for the MR24s but here is the full output from SNMPWALK. This is a complete list all of the supported OIDs for an MR24 access point: [This is an output from my personal test environment] OID=.1.2.840.10036.1.1.1.1.10, Type=OctetString, Value=00:18:0A:36:79:2A…

I opened support case # 970690 to get an answer on this.

I went ahead and opened up support case number # 1089448 for this.

Thank you for sharing this @azsmitty! I experienced the EXACT SAME ISSUE you described. This resolved my issue with using the Polling Agent and AppInsight for IIS.

Thank you njoylif for sharing your template! It helped me achieve my goal. The goal was to display the current primary host name of a SQL active-passive cluster directly on the Orion dashboard without having to go into the AppInsight for SQL view. The AppInsight view would get us the info we needed anyways, but this is a…

benoit.dorval@promutuel.ca​,I have the exact same issue. I need to inject specific HTTP headers into my POST messages if I was to send events to Elasticsearch because we have X-Pack security enabled in our Elastic stack clusters. According to this thread, Re: HTTP Headers in Alert Actions - POST/Get URL​ , the GET/POST…

My first attempt with installing the Linux agent. *** NOTE: Linux is new for our organization and many of us are not yet at the 'intermediate' level of expertise but we are learning quickly - by force I, myself, am definitely a beginner. RHEL v6.7 and v7 will be our standard. Details: * Machine OS is RHEL v6.7, managed by…

Here you go! This is a nice little powershell script to backup all ACTIVE (a.k.a. Enabled) alerts from your Orion instance. I have this run as a daily scheduled task. # --- POWERSHELL --- # --- Requires the source machine where script runs has the OrionSDK installed. --- # --- Download binaries from here:…

With Zaquan's help, we were able to find the root cause of the issue. When installing the Additional Web Server we chose the "bundle" installer. However, the bundle only installed the SAM component instead of both the SAM & NPM. We needed to download and install the individual NPM web server component from the customer…

Case # 918975 has been opened for this issue. I'll wait for the reply.

Hi jamzdn61. Yeah, DameWare MRC has a LOT of settings in a lot of places. Try this: * Launch DameWare MRC. * In the Remote Connect window, right-click on a saved host and choose "Settings". * Click the Install Options tab, click the Configure button. * On the Additional Settings tab, check if the "On Disconnect Logoff"…

fcpsolaradmin​ I assume you are trying to get the list of what updates through SCCM need to be installed on a given server. I'm starting to look into this myself. Good news! We are not alone! This blogger has figured out how to do this through Powershell - SCCM – PowerShell to Check Windows Updates and Install Them on…

No problem Terence. I hope you find your answer. ** If you don't get your answer though, here is something interesting: You can remove the GUI from Windows Server 2012 using Powershell effectively making it a "Server Core" installation. Here is a link to the Technet blog article on how to do this:…

Ah, very good question. I would say that because of the installation Wizard, installing SolarWinds Orion on a Windows Server 2012 Server Core OS is not supported and won't work. But I would reach out to SW support for clarification. However, you can install SQL Server in Windows Server Core - Install SQL Server 2014 on…

I got the agent installed and working in passive mode. No issues when trying to do this manually from the Manage Agents admin page.

I like the APM and WMI counter version of this monitor. Thanks for sharing! I am going to configure a few more things with this monitor though because I need to capture stats from each specific disk on a physical server. I will post my results on how I did this when I can.

Selspiero​, I finally got around to creating those SAM templates for monitoring Elasticsearch clusters! I'll write up an article on how I did this and why a bit later. Here you go! Elasticsearch Cluster Health Monitor (no security) Elasticsearch Cluster Health Monitor (with security)

Hello Selspiero​! I too have a need to monitor Elasticsearch. To answer your question, no. There are no readily available SAM templates to monitor an ES cluster. The only option is to build one on your own for now. I plan on doing that myself. Hopefully I'll be able to share something in the content exchange over time. To…

I'll close this question. We went ahead and did the upgrade for NPM 10.4.1 to NPM 10.6 and the upgrade for SAM 5.2 to SAM 6.0. Our EOC is still working as expected. Looking at the compatibility matrix helped us with our decision to move forward with the upgrade.
