remember to mark as answered if the solution worked

@"cheryl1" @"ChrystalT" would you be so kind as to clarify this gentleman's question. My logic tells me the answer is no.

I highly doubt it considering using thwack points is technically not paying the $200...

Connection timed out usually means that DPA cannot talk to the MySQL server. On the DPA system, open powershell and check if this command succeeds tnc <Server> - port <PortNumber> (without the < > brackets) example in the KB below. https://kb.parallels.com/124644 You should see TcpTestSucceeded :True in the results. If it…

No update yet. Expected to have a meeting with SW support this week. Your issue looks like it could be port related? Perhaps port exhaustion on the APE's or MPEs.

There are multiple requests for Dark mode. [mention:a6d12355431f437a8f30c4678abbff27:fb5d84b10a5745448a7a45dafc1faa43] for example and the top voted request [mention:440b7b50e14d480aad697e9ddf616bee:fb5d84b10a5745448a7a45dafc1faa43] please go vote!

I tend to be suspicious if the download does not come from the software vendor's official website.

Don't worry @"ImNishat" you're not the only one longing for a Dark theme. Dark mode all the things!

Have a look at these KB's https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Monitor-external-website?language=en_US https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-monitoring-a-specific-url-sw198.htm…

You're welcome Radmila, welcome to the Thwack community

Thank you for confirming @"ChrystalT" I would have been less sus if Radmila had company listed on her profile and if it wasnt such a new account.

 @"ChrystalT" @"KMSigma.SWI" @"cheryl1" @"chad.every" Can anyone please confirm the legitimacy of this post? My spidey senses are tingling.

Appreciate the shout out @"ImNishat" I too have a lot to learn but happy to help out where I can.

I'm interested to hear what companies are using instead of Veeam? I have only ever worked for companies that use Veeam, I do know Rubrick is a strong competitor, Altaro, Commvault, Druva being some honourable mentions.

Yeah VeeamOne is pretty powerful for monitoring backup jobs and VMware infrastructure, it has loads of other reports that can be useful for instance capacity planning reports for your data stores. It will tell you which VM's are over provisioned or under provisioned. etc etc

 Veeam Backup and Replication Server <- here's an old post relating to VBR 6 and 7. Doesn't look like theres an updated version of it. I poked around Reddit and seen some of the same requests, however no comments. Do you pay for the VBR Suite with VeeamOne? IMO VeeamOne would probably be the best fit for monitoring the…

Yes I agree certs are important, even if you don't end up using them it proves to your employer/future employer that you have the ability to learn. If you don't end up using Solarwinds in future there are other competing products that have the same principals for monitoring. I come from a strong background of using…

Might be worth logging a support ticket. Like I said, my understanding is that if the issue has been resolved, the active alert will go away.

If you haven't already come across Yaz Becker's course on Udemy here's the link. It helped me get a good understanding of the product. Alternatively there's the Solarwinds Academy to help you study. I however not taken the exams yet and I am undecided if I want to.…

From what I understand about active alerts, is that if the problem is still there, the alert will remain active, if the problem is resolved the alert should go away. What you can try is clearing the alert by selecting the node you want to clear then click on "clear triggered instance of alert" If the alert comes back the…

Most of the splicers I've seen used by technicians are Fusion, can't tell you why and which is more recommended.

the question is for @"caesar.ramones" but he hasn't responded so thought Cheryl could clarify. Absolutely no idea where the bullet points were found. I think this post was to get the "Ask A Question" achievement.

@"cheryl1" could you be so kind to advise please?

https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-asset-inventory-and-hardware-health-monitoring-requirements.htm odd that this document states OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node 7.2 or later. I guess they need to update their documentation. Can you link the KB support sent you?

i haven't come across any training on Thwack only on Solarwinds academy

 @"chad.every" from my understanding they were asked to change the password for the service account and update it on Solarwinds, as per the duplicate post I have advised how to do that, however the penny hasn't dropped.

https://youtu.be/nKcrVtvZvpk might be worth having a look at this video.

 Service Account password reset for Windows WMI monitoring? read more here. This is a duplicate post.

I suggest you find someone in your company that does, it will make your life so much easier. I cant fathom how you have been given this task with no one showing you how to reset the service account password in the first place. And with your lack of knowledge I highly doubt you have administrative/delegated administrative…

@"Solarwnd1" do you know what Active directory is and how Domain controllers work?
