Hi, Suggested steps: 1. Edit the template and open the Advanced section to allow you to enable Debug Logging 2. Use a Test function or go to the Application details page and do a poll now, noting the time you actioned it 3. Navigate to the Orion server filesystem c:\programdata\SolarWinds\Logs\apm\Application…

Hi aLTeReGo Is SAM going to be updated to support client certificates for authentication in the same way it does for SSH? thanks Mark

Bye Bye SEM Flash GUI, you will be sadly missed (NOT!) I am being disparaging to what was a visually appealing and nicely interactive (in some areas) UI, but the frustrations outweighed these niceties. Thanks for the hard work to convert to a fresh UI. I have just made an update to a previous feature request…

You can create an alert which looks for a Rogue device, for which you can add any specific conditions such as Vendor and in the Alert Actions list can use the 'Send a GET or POST Request to a Web Server, which will pass to the Orion REST API the action to shut down the port. The following resources should assist you in…

Have you looked at this thread? https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/UDT-Discussions/UDT-Emails-Alert-me-when-a-rogue-MAC-Address-appears-on-the/m-p/160005#M707

Glad you were able to figure this out. The GUI method in Orion is to utilise the Discovery engine, which is used to populate and then the Manage Ports area to then remove ports from monitoring inclusion.

Hi, I am not clear what your use case here is, as unsure if you mean logins to the device CLI or that something is connected. If the former, that is not something that UDT is designed to capture, as that is more of a SIEM solution or at least Syslog or use of NCM to track the configuration changes users apply. With UDT…

Hi You do not mention what the proxy technology you are using is, but I would suggest the following approach for monitoring: 1. Configure NPM/SAM polling of the device for KPI's (Device CPU, Memory, Traffic, Session counts, Session per second, service/process etc.). This will allow you to identify and analyse how the…

* How much more is going to move into Cortex engine? * What would be the one feature you would implement if you were to be PM for the day? * What is the reason that Dark Theme has taken so long to implement 

WPM does not provide this function, but the SAM application will allow you to interrogate application log files, which in this case will be your web server logs. There are two default templates for Log Parsing; PowerShell and Linux based, which you could use to look for keywords which indicate issues with the web…

Hi Tarun, You have two options; Use of the Orion REST API or direct to SQL database, with the benefits of going via the API being adherence to Account Limitation permissions and abstraction from DB schema changes. Benefits of going direct to database, primarily lie in performance. Orion API information can be found on the…

You will need to upgrade to Orion version 2019.4 or above in order for the SolarWinds Orion Agent to support Python v3+

It is possible to make changes, but the way it works is you select an existing step to which you want to then add to the recording from that point. The problem with this, is that it deletes all of the existing actions from that point, as you are required to re-record the whole of the transaction from that point. In your…

The community field will be blank, as this is not a relevant field for SNMP v3. Community strings are only relevant for SNMP v1 and 2c

I am sure going to be interested to see how the default functionality within Orion will develop as it relates to SD-WAN. This is a technology that is gaining a lot of traction, with significant benefits being achieved by adopters, especially those transitioning out of traditional solutions such as MPLS. The cost savings,…

As as been highlighted there is an out of box report which will list these, but to take this to the next stage, it is possible to utilise the Orion API and create a scripted function, which will automatically add missing VM servers to Orion for monitoring. Reference links for assistance - Thwack Forum on API, Github…

I do not have such a setup to test anything, but the principle here is finding a way to identify the servers that are running in this ephemeral state. If this is not something VMan polling is picking up natively, if you have SAM, you may be able to create a SAM monitor which can capture this information and then use as a…

You do not state how things are being identified as down, but if this is the individual steps and overall WPM site entry, I would check the following: 1. is there anything in the URL which would force a direct connection to single web server in the LB farm 2. Is the LB algorithm ensuring that if a web server in its farm…

It is great that we can bow upgrade the MIB via the web console, and I know we will appreciate this being improved with full automation to update the file on each poller, but some immediate feedback. If your Orion installation does not have Internet access, the wording on the MIB update shows as Error, which response from…

Hi Dave What you need is the Pivot function, which is a feature of SQL, but sadly not supported within the API currently. I suggest you add your voice here - https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Discussions/SWQL-Pivot-Tables-or-Count-Return-number/td-p/260325 Therefore, I would suspect the following options exist: * Use of…

Whilst it is easy to directly query the MS SQL database/s, it is advised to utilise the Orion API, which has an extensive entity and verb library. Further details can be found in the following key locations: SolarWinds Github - https://github.com/solarwinds Orion SDK Forum…

Great post. Demonstrates the importance of identifying how the dynamics of IT resource utilisation has changed and how important the monitoring of this change is so vital.

The following document has a number of useful OID's to collect information: https://www-prev.pulsesecure.net/download/techpubs/current/449 With the following OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.12532.2.0 providing the Number of signed-in web users Validate this within the UnDP utility when creating the custom poller. If you are indicating…

Hi I suggest you post this in the dedicated feature request area, rather than just the NPM discussion forum

You will need to create two separate alerts (vote up the feature request so we can create these as singular alerts) Change the Vendor = Cisco Trigger criteria to Vendor = Juniper. You could use many different filters to achieve the correct goal e.g. Machine Type = Cisco 1820, as using Machine Type allows a more accurate…

The framework exists for many things within the Orion alerting engine. While certain functionality exists within specific Orion modules, the use of PowerShell, Web Service interaction, VB Scripts etc. allow the use of all of the above protocols. With NCM execute script action, we have used this to connect to Linux servers…

Hi, Sorry I am not sure what you are trying to say. Are you having an issue with this alert?

Great post Will! Always something of a concern with the old menu system, but with the 12.x+ menu, there is plenty of space on the top header to add some custom top level menu items.

That error would indicate that you are not making a connection to the Webhook URL. Whenever I do anything like this, I use Postman in order to confirm that my web service calls are working. I can then take this into my code knowing that side is working, initially doing a static delivery of content, then updating to dynamic…

Hi, The following base query will show you how many enabled component monitors are assigned to each polling engine: SELECT COUNT(*) AS Monitors, c.Application.Node.Engine.ServerName FROM Orion.APM.Component c WHERE Status = 1 Group BY c.Application.Node.Engine.ServerName
