Simplistic linear forecasting is not sufficient and often neither are tools focused on one layer. Capacity planning and rightsizing has to take data from a number of layers and functions to be truly useful and accurate. Users need to have confidence that when a tool suggests a ceiling will be hit in 3 months, or that…

Why are you thinking of putting these values in to the SNMP Location field on the devices? I advise my clients to use the SNMP Locaiton field in a way that fits the local visibility and we create a geo-location strategy in Orion that suits their needs. This is not necessary to display objects on the Worldwide map. Just add…

if this is for plotting on a map, then I would go with the Long/Lat values into the default Custom Properties (they are not actually custom properties, but you manage them in the same way) area. This can readily be automated, with function that goes off to online Long/Lat API lookup services to convert addresses and…
-
I am interested in the use case you may have, as Long/Lat co-ordinates are more accurate than W3W. There is an easy API for converting Long/Lat to a W3W address, which you can then store in a Custom Property field and then use for dynamic link to the W3W website. https://developer.what3words.com/public-api/docs Creating an…

In this situation the first thing I do is test with another SNMP tool from the Orion server. In the c:\program files(x86)\SolarWinds\Orion folder is another SolarWinds SNMP walk tool 'snmpwalk.exe' which is immediately available for testing. This tends to give better error response visibility as well. I suggest you try…

The most common challenge I see in working with customers to deploy Orion is in bringing all the stakeholders together on a common journey. Whether an active stakeholder on the function of monitoring or a 'customer' of monitoring where their app, device, infrastructure is included in monitoring. Getting everyone on the…

I have sent you a DM. Also, Profiler is the old application for monitoring storage. Are you not able to transition across to using the newer Orion SRM module?

Hi Since this was created, there is an easier way of dealing with device co-ordinates. * Go to Manage Custom Properties * Select a sample Node entry in the list and click to Edit values * On one of the column headers, click on the arrow and click Select Columns * Navigate all way down the list to Longitude (worldwide map)…

Yes, that is permitted. SolarWinds is a solution vendor providing solutions to the enterprise and commercial sectors for IT

Hi For Port mode filters, you can do the following: * Edit the report * Select the Data Source * Follow the screenshot: This hopefully will achieve what you need.

Hi Carley Put me down, this is an area I am very keen to see strong improvements in.

If your 'new' Orion platform is on a different IP address than the original, then you may have ACL rules in place, which prevent the SNMP/WMI/WinRM etc. packets from either reaching or being responded to by the device. Check the device settings for ACL rules on your SNMP configuration and any security devices such as…

So far, the User Group function has been provided by the annual SolarWinds User Group (SWUG) meet up, which has been in London previously. Obviously once the pandemic allows, this will return. I touted a user run UG a few years ago and am happy to get involved organising something, if there is enough support for such a…

SQL Express is limited in size to 10GB, so probably the only thing you can do is migrate SQL to new instance. You can install full SQL on the same server if this is your limitation.
-
If this is the failures hit from a config backup job, I would suggest you utilise the notification method within the NCM job settings.

Excellent, glad you were able to trace to resolution

And this is why you are an MVP Marc! Great write up and appreciate you sharing the insights on your experience with Cloud deployment of Orion. It is a common discussion with customers highlighting the importance of understanding and having a 'right sizing' strategy in place, as invariably running such a demanding…

For all of our customers we create a Custom Property called 'Device_Role' for which for each device we will assign the appropriate value i.e. Core Switch, Access Switch, Router, Firewall, Physical Server etc. With this Custom Property in place, you could then use this as the filter in your report. Alternatively any filter…

Yes the first thing is provision a new 2012 server with SQL 2012 on it. More resources you give the machine, the quicker the upgrades will take. This is a server you will throw away once upgraded to latest release. Copy the production database over to this SQL instance Install ALL of the same versions of the software you…
-
It is NOT possible to simply install the latest 2020.2.4 release of Orion against the 10.7 release database. You MUST go through a process of upgrading. Vinay above has provided the upgrade path, but you are advised yourself to use this tool - Product Upgrade Advisor | SolarWinds Customer Portal in order to identify the…

Solaris uses the standard *Nix SNMP agent - NetSNMP and so you need to have this installed a valid snmpd.conf definition, with network allowing UDP 161. From your post it looks like you have the agent installed. This is the official documentaton, which is not particularly useful - docs.oracle.com/.../gjigk.html All this in…

Technically it is possible, as this would be an API call to collect the data, to which you could insert in to an Orion Custom property for use. As @"superfly" stated you would need to include the handling of multiple responses. Depending on set up, you could use one of the plethora of API to API solutions, write a script…
-
That is a valid query Where are you running it and what response do you get?
-
That entry should would for you, but the Comparison Criteria settings have the ability to define code blocks to ignore, as detailed here Exclude config content from comparison in NCM (solarwinds.com) For your start block you could have ^certificate and for the last line of the block ^quit
-
If you just need the filter the default Connected Mac & IP report in UDT category: * Duplicate the default report * Change the Title * Edit the data source* Change the Object to 'Node' * Add the appropriate filter to allow the AP's only to populate report * Save I have tested locally and this worked for me.

Ahh, if you are experiencing this on 2020.2.5, @"aLTeReGo" is definitely the man for this, as if no HTML code is being processed, something is not working in this RC
-
I have added this HTML to my 2020.2.4 instance and it works correclly: https://thingspeak.com/channels/1320249/widgets/279522 Not sure, but are you suggesting that even if you do a simple <H1>Hello World</H1> this fails to display in the widget? If this is the case, I would be inclined once reviewed the OrionWeb.Log file…
-
If a new alert is being generated, but you are just not receiving the event in PagerDuty you should start by checking the alert actions log file: <Volume:>\ProgramData\Solarwinds \Logs\Orion\ActionsExecution.log. This should give you the guidance as to what Orion is trying and failing to do.

I do not have a playground to confirm this, but I would have thought a Node > Machine Type or Node Custom Property filter on the data source work. Let us know how you get on.
