  • I suspect that the Request URL might have changed, if it was not permissions. But - I have noticed that things change unpredictably in Azure. 
  • I threw in several of the diff functions. SELECT ONO.Caption, ToLocal (OAS.SuppressFrom) as SuppressStart, ToLocal (OAS.SuppressUntil) as SuppressEnd, DayDiff(OAS.SuppressFrom,GetDate()) AS Muted_DayCount, WeekDiff(OAS.SuppressFrom,GetDate()) AS Muted_WeekCount, MonthDiff(OAS.SuppressFrom,GetDate()) AS Muted_MonthCount,…
  • Try this, it lists start of suppression, end date (if scheduled) and day count. It also converts to local time. SELECT ONO.Caption, ToLocal (OAS.SuppressFrom) as SuppressStart, ToLocal (OAS.SuppressUntil) as SuppressEnd, DayDiff(OAS.SuppressFrom,GetDate()) AS Muted_DayCount FROM Orion.AlertSuppression OAS JOIN Orion.Nodes…
  • Interesting dilemma. I have a similar loadout but have not seen that issue. I do not split nodes for a remote site among different pollers by habit though. If I need to offline a poller, then I will split those nodes up. Unless you have HA for pollers, that is about the best you can do. Based on the examples below, It…
  • Old thread. Here is a swql variable that will get it. THis works with component alerts. You would need to update the component id variable if using an application alert. THis should work from orion 2019 forward and probably older versions of SAM. SELECT cts.Value FROM Orion.APM.Component ac JOIN ORION.Apm.Application ap ON…
  • This was the answer 8 years, the site has updated since then. Here are some updated links and ones that cover the current alert formats/variables. Adding alert specific variables into email generated by an alert in Orion Platform General alert variables Variables in the Orion Platform Use properties and macros in alerts…
  • Consider using NCM session trace - just know that you can create a lot of files with it. The session traces will have lots of extra details to look at. Enable session tracing when troubleshooting a connection issue (solarwinds.com) , Generate session trace logs for NCM and NPM modules (solarwinds.com) and NCM How to Read a…
  • SQL or SWQL? While similar they wont work in each others spaces. Where did you paste this code?
  • Application component polling allows you to choose at the component level. Unfortunately, I have not found a direct answer for just node polling. @"Seashore" I tend to agree that it might be negotiate, which used kerberos for domain accounts and ntlm for local accounts. But this is still a guess. I will post here what I…
  • Good luck and I hope this continues to work for you. I am sorry about the tech support rep going MIA. You have probably heard this elsewhere - but you can call back into support and give the ticket number to get a another rep. I have done this on occasion - the original rep was unavailable and the issue was urgent. 
  • I have not noticed that. Open a ticket with support? also try another polling engine if you have one. You can look at the log files on that web server/primary polling engine, start with the apollo web logs. 
  • Another ditto here. Custom properties in the alert scope are just awesome. You can do some interesting grouping too. If the alerts are based entirely on a custom property value, not just filtering production tiers, then you can split apart nodes on a single property. I use some of the yes/no properties to scope alerts, and…
  • Sounds interesting. I do most everything in swql (reports and alerts) now, but nothing complex like some of the reports i see here. API programming with powershell and python - total noob. Trying to crack those nuts and look at them as modularized scripts. API auth, then Call #1 etc. The idea is reusable bits that those of…
  • Looks like this might be related to the log on locally requirement. 
  • Short Answer - Yes you can do this with PRE-defined text. Look at the predefined Microsoft 365 Admin Center API template is one good example. Longer answer - the text that you convert must be pre-defined, so the conversion does a quick text match and the number can be substituted. See image below from the template. You…
  • Yes, you can report on the string value. I have had to create reports to do it. I was using swql. You will need the value-to-monitor ID. This SWQL query can produce that and gives you the names of stuff to help isolate what you want, and then some. SELECT vtm.ID, vtm.RequestDetailsId, ap.Name as APIPoller, vtm.DisplayName,…
  • So far so good. I tried joins and linked entities and both worked with intellisense again. Thank you! Thank you! THank you!
  • I am hoping that one of more experienced vnqm users jump in. But - first thoughts - you may need to create those sla operations on the routers then monitor them. VNQM can create the operations given the credentials to do so. Its fairly simple, but I will note that NCM is the you may need when you want to remove those…
  • I am currently working through that mess. Its as much a microsoft situation as it is a solarwinds documentation issue. Microsoft makes changes routinely (think daily and weekly) to Azure, and unless you are already very familiar with Azure, which I am not, it gets messy. Post some of your questions and I will try to answer…
  • Actually a component based alert could handle both sam applications. Just make sure the scope is specific to each component. Either based on component name or even component ID. And use an OR statement in the scope.
  • It sounds like you could build the SAM Template with both service components added, then delete the unnecessary component from only the affected instance (the node that does have that service). The alert could be either application scope - single application or a component alert and you can use an "or" statement in the…
  • A partial name will work like a wildcard in the search, and you can search/sort on the values in the table too. But if the server names are something like (abc, def, ghi, jkl), then you would want to use custom properties or the node details like location/ ip address / dns that @"KMSigma.SWI" mentioned above. I would…
  • How to edit custom properties. You can create them AND assign them to multiple nodes in the custom property editor interface. It just received a facelift in the appearance, but the functionality is the same. Custom Property Management Updates That page does a really good job of describing the creating and assignment of…
  • The search and sort options are part of the Table Widget that you can create in a Modern Dashboard. Here is the SolarWinds Lab video for creating them:SolarWinds Lab Episode #93–A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Modern Dashboards on the Orion Platform
  • CHeck any wpm locations for manual upgrades of the players too. 
  • Just ran it. The upgrade lasted about an hour with multiple pollers and modules. If you have wpm - you may need to manually stop WPM Browser processes. The installer will stop, tell you which what to stop, then just click retry on the installer. It completed without further issues. Validation so far seems to fine. I will…
  • @"ashley.heilbronn" You cleared the browser cache again - after the last rebuild? Just doublechecking as browsers never fail to cause issues. Also - Three weeks of leave? Hoping it was for a vacation and that is awesome.
  • OMG no, i would not create them fresh each time, if it can be avoided. I would definitely consider several dynamic groups or multiple custom properties - then create the reports around each group that you need. You can schedule the report and have it delivered even. Using a modern dashboard - create a table. Enable the…
  • Which setting? I checked dhcp users group and the account is present in the that group. Still getting the error. I am on orion 2020.2.6 which seems to slightly change how impersonation works, but I am using a domain account in the domain\user format. Thank you.
