Hi It is not clear what you are looking to achieve and how, but hopefully the following links will assist you: The SolarWinds SDK Github contains information on the API use, including a sample script on updating custom properties:…

Apologies, did it in a rush and grabbed the file from the wrong place. Should all be good now.

Updated to include the PS1 action script

Great job Marc! Definitely the next step should be to create the file based library, which can be shared around.

Everything I would expect of you - great work and thanks for sharing

Great idea to show the amount of time each job takes in a visual manner, as it is easy to miss the fact that an NCM job takes too long and needs to be reviewed.

Yes, Orion will immediately show high fragmentation across some indexes immediately after a defrag. However, performing a DBCC_Shinkfile operation will generate fragmentation over many more indexes in the database than would be a normal amount and therefore will impact on performance. Therefore the suggestion to re-index…

I know this is an old post, but an important addition to this, is if you do perform the DBCC Shrinkfile operation, this will likely cause bad fragmentation so either perform a re-index after or use the switch to prevent fragmentation: Why SHRINKFILE is a very bad thing, and what to do about it. - SQLServerCentral USE…

The improvements on the installation procedure have been very welcome and make what was already something anyone can perform into something even simpler. A couple of points: * We still need some clarification over the database requirements and impact of NTA moving back into SQL Server. This is critical for users, as SQL…

On the EOC wish list: * Internal User Accounts and not just AD based * Combined reporting e.g. where common filter combines values across Orion instances. This is required where customers have global deployments and need singular reporting across them * Different update method for data* large Orion instances with high…

Network Atlas v2 is coming together nicely Great work!

There is already a kind of way of using Custom Properties (although it is not a true custom property), as there are two fields that allow you to populate; Longitude (Worldmap) and Latitude (WorldMap). These can be access within the Custom Property Values editor, by clicking on the .. link on the far left of the column…

Can you expand on the Database Enhancements please. Does this impact the role of the Flow Storage DB server? What are the tangible benefits? Mark Roberts Prosperon - UK SolarWinds Partners Installation | Consultancy | Training | Licenses

Are you able to expand on the 'Improved Web Application Support' feature? Does this include better Java and window handling at all?

Hi, You need to adjust the statement to formulate the date value including the GROUP BY. I have provided an example using SQL (not tested for SWQL) to highlight the changes. The following is the default Average and Peak Traffic Rate - Last 7 Days report, with 30 minute summarisation. Note the content 'Float)*48)/48,0)' is…

A starting point would be to see the error, which you can either get from the IIS logs, or simply turning off 'friendly error messages' within IE's advanced options. Then go to the login page again and hopefully if it is IIS related will tell you why it is having problems serving the page. Applying patches is a common way…

What monitors the monitoring solution - This!

You may be referring to either reports or a detail page: Report 1. Go to Reports area 2. On the Group by select change to 'Report Category' 3. Select Historical Traffic Reports 4. Identify an appropriate report you wish to base this on, probably Average & Peak Traffic Last Month 5. Go TO Manage Reports and select the…

AFAIK details on upgrade paths have not been released yet. These would normally be put in the RC release notes. Having said that, I do not believe that it is possible to upgrade anyway. These are two completely different applications with different underlying engines and therefore not possible to upgrade. Also as the data…

 * m_roberts is excited!

Rather than editing the code files, as you will need to update these everytime an upgrade is performed, I would suggest you create a new page view, put a Custom HTML resource on this page, which contains all the information you require and then create a menu link to this page. This method would also be more flexible, as…

Hi Tim, Could you please provide an update on the ability to programatically assign Custom UnDP Pollers to nodes. We are now creating a dev test to add a node to Orion and as part of this script assign UnDP's, which will be based on the Perl script process supplied by Martin above. thanks Mark

Hi Tim, Is the ability to assign custom pollers to Nodes via the SDK coming along any time soon, can you share? I have a need to use the API to add a new node to Orion and assign up to 20 custom pollers to the device. Not having the ability to automate the assignment of custom pollers means that the benefit of automating…

Netpath does not use ICMP for the end target, rather makes a TCP port connection to the address you supply. Therefore use the port of the service you are presenting out of Azure to allow NetPath to work to that target. It does use ICMP as part of the probing methods for hops along the path however, but these show up into…

Hi For the ticket creation, absolutely the easiest method as superfly99​ stated is to use email to Jira. This is all about creating a structure in your email to allow Jira to parse the content. A more complete solution would be to use the script method to interact with the Jira API. This gives more control and crucially…

It sounds like you need to install the latest version of Network Atlas. This you can do from one of the Orion NPM installations (current version v10 sp1). I have found it is best to uninstall the previous version and then install the more recent afresh on your PC. I am not 100% sure what the issue is with your 2nd point,…

Did you select in the Node drop down a node which you have assigned the UnDP? You indicate you are doing a test, which may well explain why you are getting a result where your variable is not populating. The test button option is not a perfect replication of an alert condition and should be considered a test of the…

In situations like this I start simple and add from that point. In this situation, I would remove the IP Addresses from the select and where lines and confirm that the number of devices from the single SWQL entity table are inline with your expectations. This could be the join type is excluding empty values and therefore…

Hi First of all the map should refresh when the page refreshes. They are not separate, so the map does not refresh either totally or the element status indepently. If it is not, you have something wrong with the map, the page or the browser. For your second question, create a page with a map resource, dont forget you can…

If your system is down, raise a case with SolarWinds. Your original issue is highly likely to be related to a resource on your page pulling back data which is not valid. I would check if other pages load OK and if they do, copy the original home page and remove resources one by one until you find the problematic one.…
