Having been to all of the SWUG's SolarWinds has held in London, the growth both in terms of attendance and content makes this an annual pilgrimage for many people. OK, the UK is not the biggest geographically, but seeing people travel from far and wide to attend proves what attendance brings. That the events are truly run…

Really interesting article, raising aspects about this subject I was not aware of. I am fully onboard with the concept of 'what is right for one, is not right for another' whether this is data set or indeed customer. The ability to adapt and tune is a fundamental requirement and as part of the SolarWinds Observability…

Not sure there is a comment on society in general in here. As a world of consumers, where we are used to getting immediate gratification, this then spills in to finding solutions to problems. From a monitoring point of view, I will often discuss with customers that if you are not monitoring your website for which may their…

There are quite a few similar feature requests, where the underlying requirement is to be able to schedule at object level (Node, Application, Cloud) recurring maintenance windows. We used to be able to do this in Orion with the Win32 app on the Orion server when alerting was console and not web based. Lots of polite…

Big well done to the new 2022 intake, great to have you all in this little group

Looking forward to seeing the creative juices flow

Having worked with many customers on implementing this monitoring coverage manually, I cant wait to get to show this off to them. Great work!

Hi, Would the following work for you: 1. Create a Supernet definition in IPAM and populate with the live Subnet definitions only 2. For each of the other subnets you wish to 'subnet reserve' create a Group entry to act as a non populated placeholder in a format such at '10.10.10.0/24 - UNUSED' OR 1. Create a Supernet…

For me the down vote is just as important as the upvote. You will see many FR threads where the comments are used to debate the feature posted. This is used to help tune the FR, determine its true value and how it may work for some, but not all. The down vote allows the overall weighting to be identified in a single easy…

Hi, Yes I know this is possible and is a good feature to have available for this monitor now. My point in support of the feature request made by Malky is that there are going to be events wanting to be monitored that do not wish to be alerted on (i.e. the status of the monitor is in the Down state), but is useful to have…

I have always been someone who will do smart casual when at work, working with colleagues, but in my role of going to client sites I could never go in anything other than business attire, whether that is suited or trousers/shirt etc. Now am working from home, when I know I have client calls, I will always put my video on…

Do you have the same 2 day intentions for London this year?

Hi Jeff This is something that has been added in v10.7 of Orion, so if you havent already done so upgrade to get this feature http://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/solarwinds-community/product-blog/blog/2014/01/23/npm-107-rc1-now-available

Big congrats to the new MVP's, you will find we are a proud, helpful, resourceful group of people and welcome. Specific well done to Antonis. Being a member of my technical team I am obliged to

Great post making the very real issue clear. Experienced users on cursory review may not see an issue and less experienced issues are unlikely to even know and both could make decisions based on invalid data being displayed.

It is great to see AppInsight getting its next application coverage in place so soon after SQL. This will be something our SolarWinds customers are going to love on first sight. Are we allowed to guess what is next on the AppInsight list?

ahh, missing hyphen - I am sure the generosity of Kristen will come to our rescue!

As a SolarWinds consultant being a technologist is essential, as we have to keep on top of what directions IT is moving, what customers are deploying, as we need to understand what it does so we can configure the monitoring of it. The following are my immediate list: Containers SDN Flash storage Nutanix Also I have been…

NCM allows you to specify your own SCP or TFTP server location and authentication values, which if you are already running a central server of these 2 protocols will allow you to create a separate firmware repository bank. However, it is my experience that the majority of deployment will utilise the NCM SCP or TFTP server,…

We for our customer installations will manually install the .Net frameworks, as it will be far quicker than letting the wizard perform the task. Also if there are any issues with that core OS element being installed you have better visibility.

Ahh the madness of what we do to ourselves and your use of 'masochist' is exactly right. My SolarWinds labs are on the work test infrastructure, which means there is a room dedicated to deal with the noise and heat - perfect. However, surveying my home to determine where I can place a small rack that will be cool enough in…

For what reason do you think this is a bad idea? The TFTP and SCP servers in NCM can support several hundred concurrent sessions.

A big welcome to the new MVP's, you are joining a friendly and giving bunch of people.

Sorry, I should have been clear. This is a photoshoped image, as it is not possible to get the answer wrong with the current definition

More haste less speed for me too this week.

Big congratulations on becoming a full blown Solarian! Thwack has been such a strong influence for so many SolarWinds users looking for help, as a source of learning and growth and therefore great to see someone with such passion for it taking on the reigns.

We were able to show our customers this feature at an event a week or so ago and this was by far the most talked about feature and came well ahead in the 'most exciting new feature' poll. IP SLA's path operation type is good, but this is IP SLA on steroids for determining site to site path quality. You don't need a Cisco…

I have long held a belief that Thwack has played a significant part of the success story of SolarWinds. The platform brings together so many great people, ideas and is not just about a forum for customers to help each other out with product related questions and issues. It truly feels like a community and it has been and…

I love the way lots of people have followed your structure and boy have some gone to town, great effort @"ecklerwr1" and @"Kaellanon" I wish I had more time to write a proper response, but I am being pestered to put up Christmas lights, which is something I have said I will do each year since the kids were born, but sadly…
