How is what are you trying to achieve which is different from the default report for device availability?

That is the method for the legacy Report Writer application. For the new reporting engine, navigate to Reports > Manage Reports and select Import Attach the file and import and you should then see the report in the listing

I would suggest that the application is working by design. The audit table contains data relevant for Administrators of Orion to see and therefore access control should be placed around this. However, there is no doubt a use case for having a subset of this data available to non-admins, which is where @"Seashore" has…

Sorry, if I was not clear. By Alert object type for a Custom Property do the following and it will make sense: * Navigate to Settings > All Settings > Manager Custom Properties * Click Add Custom Property * First step of wizard select 'Alerts' in the drop down for Selected object type You can then populate this field in…

The easiest way to achieve this is to create a Custom Property for an Alert object type called 'Production' or 'Enabled' (or similar), with a Boolean data type being most appropriate. Select all of the Alerts that are enabled and update the Custom Property to be set to Yes/True. Use this filter in the Manage Alerts area,…

This is where the SWQL Studio is useful, as this is kinda documented, where the entity structure includes the cross navigation linkage. This allows you to see the relationships across entities (tables). A full schema diagram would indeed be lovely, but you can accomplish what you need much of the time using this method.…

The AlertActiveID is also within the Orion.AlertHistory, which has a navigation path in SWQL to Orion.AlertObjects based on the AlertObjectID, which in turn has navigation to Orion.AlertConfigurations so you can see with both of these the object in question and the alert definition. The following is an example quick and…

You are advised to use the Orion API (SWQL) method, as this will abstract SQL database schema changes. If you do direct SQL be aware upgrades may mean your queries need to be updated to match the new DB schema

Hi Yes, each Alert has a unique identifier. In the SWQL Entity Orion.AlertActive, you will see a column called AlertActiveID You can include this value in the Alert Actions output, but using the following variable: ${N=Alerting;M=AlertActiveID} For your reference, the database still contains tables and therefore ID's that…

I am not 100% clear on the objective here, but if you wish to have a page which only shows certain interfaces data i.e. widgets for Top 10, charts for top 5 interfaces by traffic, alerts that exist on those interfaces etc. Whilst you could use groups, my preference is to use Custom Properties. I tend to only use groups…

No, that is not how this function works. This widget will only display incidents that have been generated by the Orion alerting engine. If you want to create something more than this, you may be able to do so via the Custom HTML widget, by creating some Javascript code that pulls data from the SNOW API for display.

What are your concerns on this application being maintained on Github? The idea behind it is for collaboration, with SolarWinds as the owner, as the use of the SDK opens up a wide range of function for the extending of interactivity with the Orion platform. It is managed and maintained by SolarWinds still, so is it just…

The full certificate information does not appear to be collected as part of the full poll. It is interesting that the test brings back more detail, but a quick look in to the SAM tables in the database, I could not immediately see that extended data. Therefore, the advice from @"KMSigma.SWI" above is your only route to…

The script provided above is to run within Powershell, it has not been updated in line with the requirements to output for use in SAM. The following KB will be useful, but look at the examples provided in Orion already and you should be able to take the above script and adjust it to output the status code, statistic and…

It is not possible to create a topology structure for the contents of one dashboard to affect the status of the other dashboard. However, it is possible to utilise the Orion maps or Groups feature to create a status topology between those objects. In this situation, I would suggest you look at creating a Group in to which…

I am not 100% sure on the requirement here, but I suggest you look at the following 2 resources, which will show the dynamic values; Custom Table Custom Query These will allow you to list your reports, including any data values appropriate for them that exist in the database. If I have misunderstood, please provide more…

As @"HerrDoktor" indicated, this appears to be a simple matter of SEM receiving log data from this source server, which happens to be running the DNS role function. I suggest you review the Windows events on the source server to confirm the original log event messages are the same as you are seeing in SEM. They will be,…

There are a number of UnDP templates, which you can import in to the UnDP application to then review, assign and configure. The following is the link from searching the NPM UnDP Content Exchange, from which I am sure you will find value. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/search?q=netapp&group=125&category= Essentially you have…

Not really. Each monitored object such as a Node in this case, has values you can populate called Custom Properties, which allow you to store additional information for each of those nodes. These can be used as purely information enrichment for display in Orion and or to use as filters in various functions such as Alerts,…

The ability to save Perfstack entries for display on Summary pages is huge. The interactive charting with correlation display is so powerful The links provided in the x Details pages that allow Perfstack to be opened directly to allow a more deep dive and interactive analysis to be performed. No comments on the AppOptics…

There is no limitation on the OID's Orion can work with, so what issue do you have? When I say no limitation, I mean that you can enter the OID manually in to the UnDP OID field, it does NOT need to be within the complied library i.e. selectable in the UI tree list when you click Browse MIB. Simply get the OID and enter it…

With the Silverpeak platform you will want to collect data not via SNMP, but via its RESTful API interface, which is more complete. The following existing UnDP Custom SNMP pollerr templates exist if you do wish to use SNMP: thwack.solarwinds.com/.../1972…

Did you get ever this working?

I come to read this a day after posting and can see the outpouring of responses. You will be missed, of that there is no doubt. I has been great working with you and you leave with the Thwack platform working better than ever. I wish you the best of luck in your immediate and long term future and would hope that one day…

If I am understanding your question, you wish to monitor the timing for print jobs starting. This is not likely to be data you would get from polling, as my experience would be that polling print servers (SNMP/WMI etc.) will give you stats on how many active jobs currently exist, the total number of jobs printed, failed…

No need to turn to SWQL for this report. You need to utilise the Time Based settings in the report definition * Copy the default Nodes Availability - Last Month report * Edit this as needed on any filters and change the time period if needed * Click on Edit Table on the Layout Builder page to add your custom property…

That is the most common set up for the use of Syslog in an organisation. * Configure the devices to send syslog event messages to Orion* Control the level by specifying severity level (e.g. Notice and above) or tuned filters depending on what your device supports. * Configure tagging and/or alerts in Orion syslog for thing…

The default is every 4 hours You can change the value in the DNS Zone list for each zone you have

No cloud service is able to guarantee uptime availability and when dealing with performance issues, support can be patchy. No silver bullet to be found here

The following to KB articles should help you. Essentially it is ensuring you have UDT configured correctly to collect L3 data, that it is collecting the data and that the device is able to provide the data.…
