I have been saving my points for that to come back in to stock!

It is fascinating how small the world of IT can be and I think it is great that your previous mentor is able to see how there involvement with a persons development circles back to them later on. A reason why everyone should take a mentoring approach to everyone they work with.

same for me - the screenshot confirms I entered the right answer

This is a feature of the Custom Table widget in the classic dashboard, and something I know I have used often, so I agree should be in the modern dashboard equivalent

This arena is by nature broad, we have customers with an LEM installation almost purely to tick the compliance box, with the odd use for operational forensic review (such a wasted opportunity) but we do our best to educate, but it mostly comes down to time and resource. But then this is what LEM and there peers are meant…

There are reasons why customers choose to implement agent based polling and so not being able to support this in IPAM can remove this function from the IPAM capability list for a user.

The last 2 homes I have owned, both needed top to bottom redecoration, which meant that carpets were up, which in turn meant Cat5 cable was run all over the houses. Absolutely worth doing as wireless will 'never' be able to replace strands of copper to latency, bandwidth and most importantly consistency. I wouldn't put it…

This Jive platform has served so well for so long, but if there is an absolute in life (and especially IT) change is inevitable. Change will no doubt bring challenges, more to the Thwack team I suspect than anyone else, and 'why did this change' but nothing that I am sure will detract from the huge benefits SolarWinds…

I cannot seem to edit my original post, but here is the link for 'new' much improved Thwack - thwack.solarwinds.com/.../display-server-name-for-multiple-orion-web-servers

While Alert Central was a great freebie, it just didn't reach the level of capabilities it truly needed to be something to be fully adopted by everyone that needed alert management and aggregation. Alert Central started with such promise and it certainly helped and has been adopted by several of our customers, (note the…

Rather than working through your code, I recommend using an online HTML editor focused for creating email based content. Email clients are notoriously fussy and it will give you opportunity to create a nice visually appealing and functional layout - Free HTML Email Builder | Enginemailer is one

Are you using the NOC display feature within the application or a browser plugin? I have not found the in-app NOC display to have such an issue, so could you try that method?

You are in luck - there is a whole section of Thwack dedicated to such content, with the bonus of being able to download and import into your instance - (20) Modern Dashboards - The SolarWinds Platform - THWACK

Welcome Charlene. You will find a rich source of knowledge, a generousity to share that knowledge, with a vibrant and positive community. For self led learning, the following link is a central hub to help you on your journey - SolarWinds Academy | SolarWinds Success Center

It is only a feature on the latest versions of the platform for Modern Dashboards, so you may need to upgrade

This is straightforward to achieve using the SharePoint Embed web part and some Javascript. You would connect to the SolarWinds API to collect the data you wish to display in SharePoint, which for our clients is typically an approach of display 'Service Status' of key applications and IT services. The specific forum for…

Great start! - Looking forward to each release already!

This is not just a resource issue, this is also about the volume of event messages a single polling engine can process. Options: * Control the level of SNMP traps being sent by the source devices* It is often possible to configure the devices to send only certain types or levels of trap * LV or LA can deal with around 1000…

I will ignore the audit log route, as it looks like you have investigated this already. If you have SAM, then you can create a Template which has a single SQL monitor, which returns a single value such as 1 if the query is the same as expected i.e the password hash value created when you enter the correct password. You can…

This device supports both v5 and v9 of Netflow (Cflow), so have you configured the device to send flow data to the SolarWinds poller and are you monitoring this device and the interfaces on which flow data is being analysed? documentation.nokia.com/.../Cflowd_cli.html

50ms is pretty low and we have customers deployed in this manner that do not experience issues. However, I agree with @"cnorborg", the Main polling engine (MPE) and web servers are better placed close to the DB server. If you are running under HCO or NAM licensing, there is no restriction on the number of additional…

I am assuming you have populated in to NPM and NTA a device that is configured for BGP and has all appropriate definition in place for AS and neigbour detail, as per https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/nta/content/nta-preparing-to-monitor-autonomous-system-networks-sw1401.htm Therefore, I would perform a…

So you are configuring the audit log definition on the switch and have seen that when you apply this configuration, if you then login remotely using Telnet it causes the switch to reboot without request? This is not something I have encountered and suggest this is more something you need to raise a TAC case with Cisco. The…

No, this is hard coded in to the web application. What is your use case? May be there is an alternative solution to meet this

This is the current design of this feature. When you download a backup from a device as a binary file, it will process the commands necessary for the device to upload the binary file to the SFTP/SCP/TFTP server defined in the settings for that device. The file should then be retrieved from that location, which we suggest…

Can you clarify your issue, as I am unsure on what your objective is and the problem you have to achieve

Unlike the statistic values for the Service component monitor type, there is not an option to put such a delay in. Therefore, you will need to separate this in to a dedicated alert definition and use the 'Condition must exist for more than 15 minutes' setting available on the Trigger Condition page.

This should be part of the discovery import process if you use Network Discovery and then if you add a node manually, the AppInsight templates are selectable in the List Resource part of the Add node wizard. Are you adding nodes programatically? If so, then I believe this thread will help - (+) AppInsight for IIS assing to…

You certainly could use Custom Properties to 'supress' alerting occurring during certain time periods. As you indicate you only need to cater for a certain single time period, this could work nicely. Create 2 custom properties e.g. Alerting_End_Date and Alerting_Start_Date with the above dates. Then update your alert…
