frankmuhlstadt​ I'll check with the dev team to see if we need these or if they are already covered... Thanks!

Thanks Ben, I'll make a note of that and pass it up to the team to see if that can be improved.

Glad you like it! Let me know if you have any feedback!

Here is a more complete SWQL query that should get the IP Addresses as well: SELECT ci.Name, ci.OrionIdColumn,PublicDNSName, ci.PrivateDNSName, csg.SecurityGroupId, csg.SecurityGroupName, vmip.IPAddress FROM Orion.Cloud.Instances ci, Orion.Cloud.SecurityGroups csg, orion.VIM.VirtualMachineIPAddresses vmip WHERE…

Exactly... The memory metrics inside of AppInsight for SQL or other templates is going to be related to the application itself. If you want to inspect the configuration and usage of the overall memory on the server that would be better done at the node level

Maybe a visual from one of my test instances can hep.... There are three metrics: The first value shows how much memory SQL is currently using not what is physically available. (This value could be quite low compared to the available memory in the machine if for example SQL has restarted recently.) The second value shows…

@"nks7892" Can you share the ticket number you have open with support? I'd like to review what they have tried so far and potentially escalate for you if needed. Thanks!

Mount points should show up regardless of having a drive letter assigned. If you are clicking on List Resources and the mount points are not showing up I would suggest opening a ticket with support to investigate.

You can include most widgets in a custom Orion report. Just follow these instructions: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/Content/Core-Adding-Content-to-a-Web-Based-Report-Column-sw842.htm

Support for VMware Tags is something we are currently working on. You can go to the product roadmap page to see that and other things we are currently working on. We also have an active survey about that subject and some others that you can participate…

The limit is 1000 EPS and that is for the whole platform. Polling engines do not increase scale for Log Analyzer.

@"johnny_ringo" We are looking at cost calculators and comparisons for potential future versions. Right now the only summary option is by host or cluster. However we are currently working on some additional summary and restriction options. I may ping you directly for some more specific input on that subject!

@"pratikmehta003" I think those fields will also be available in the Orion.events table and so you should be able to follow a similar process to the one I linked in the answer to your other post recently. Kevin's idea in the alert lab should get you pointed in the right direction here as well:…

Hi Phil, When you say appliance I assume you mean the legacy Linux based VM appliance. The last version of the appliance was 8.1 and it is about to be EoL. Since you mentioned you are in the midst of a rebuild it would be a good time to move everything to Orion based polling and decomission the appliance completely. 

At the moment support for KVM is not on our near term road map. We continue to monitor demand for that support and are still taking feature requests for it here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/Linux-KVM-support/idi-p/565413 The fact that Oracle are pushing OVM customers in that direction is certainly…

I agree with @"m_roberts" here... See if there is anything at all that can identify these VMs. I know you said they are volatile and get destroyed and created frequently but if they have a specific IP range they come from or if there is a consistent sub-string in the VM name you could use those as exclusions to the alert:

@"johnny_ringo" Just a couple quick things to check and no, it isn't required to buy LA to use this feature only your VMAN license is required. Apologies if you already ran through these... Be sure that the VMware events add-on is actually installed. You can check that by looking at your Orion console: My Dashboards ->…

Just a quick thought. Not sure if this will help or have the same result but can you try changing the selection method to "Advanced Database Query" and then use a SWQL statement similar to what I have below? Or does this still pull back the same extraneous info as well? I am hoping that forcing it to match 'Event ID XXXX'…

VMAN does not have support for Citrix VDI environments.

Generally speaking VMAN does not have any VDI specific functions or reports. The machines in your VDI environment will be treated as "normal" VMs and the metrics and reports would be the same.

I am not certain you can do it directly via custom property but you should be able to go to: Settings -> All Settings -> Views -> Manage Dashboards and then search for the Sprawl dashboard and edit it. Towards the bottom you will see an option to provide a filter. There are numerous options there that should allow you to…

Hi @"PGM" that does not look like expected behavior. I think the best path forward here would be to open a ticket with support so we can properly investigate this. I am not aware of any workaround or configuration that would get past this.

When you are forwarding events like that you need to have the Orion agent installed on the machine where the events are being forwarded to (the collector). Each of the machines which are forwarding their events to the collector must be monitored nodes in Orion (SNMP, WMI, Ping) so that the events received for them can be…

@"hnz980" If you haven't done so already, please open a ticket with support on that issue and ping the ticket number back here.

Thanks @"nglynn" glad you are excited for the new features. Linux support is something we are considering for a potential future version for sure.

Each line would be counted as an event even if it is immediately discarded. Or put more simply, flat log files will contribute to your total events per second (EPS) just like any other source (syslog, traps etc.) So you still need to consider that in the big picture of what you choose to monitor just like you would with…

@"shuth" You are correct. Currently it will ingest the entire log but you can use processing rules to discard or otherwise process the entry in the same way as any other log (syslog, traps, etc.) Doing pre-filtering on the agent prior to sending the log is something we are considering for a future release.

@"Vinx" You should be able to create a processing rule that can match on specific fields (screen shot below) and have that processing rule hand off to the alerting engine for your first question. On the second question you can create custom widgets based on SQL / SWQL that will act as a filtered view. For example you could…

There is an older thread (link below) that discusses how to force the browser process on the player to close after every playback. That sometimes resolves issues like these. Have a look and maybe test that out. If it doesn't work or doesn't look like it will solve your particular issue then I would open a ticket with…

bharris​ Try it again now please.
