Hi there, I also run into a lot of issues getting these to work sometimes, a good rule of thumb is 'Contains' is basically using the 'Like' command from SQL. So in your case I would change MMWS to %MMWS% and that may work: Let me know how you get on. Kind regards, Marlie Fancourt | SolarWinds Pre-Sales Manager Prosperon…

Hi there, SolarWinds is pulling 2 different values, but essentially both are doing the same thing, just from different places. One is pulled from the VMWare API and takes the current CPU usage at that point in time, and divides it by the total allocated CPU also at that point in time to create a percentage. The other one…

Hi there, The best way to do this would be through a custom SWQL alert, as their is no clear link for custom pollers for nodes unfortunately. Have a look at the following query: SELECT Nodes.Uri, Nodes.DisplayName, cpt.Status FROM Orion.Nodes AS Nodes join Orion.NPM.CustomPollerStatusOnNodeTabular cpt on Nodes.nodeid =…

I can indeed confirm that it was all ticked successfully in the 'List Resources' section too :) : It IS possible for a volume to be in the database but not being ticked in the 'List Resources' section. You can run 2 queries to see what is going on using the Database Manager:…

Hi there, This sounds very similar to that NetPath shows up when there is a proxy in the way, this issue and resolution is documented here: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Network-paths-in-NetPath-end-early?language=en_US Have a check through and see if that helps you. Kind regards, Marlie Fancourt |…

Hello, First a sanity check, your process is fine as I followed it myself and didn't have any problems adding volumes to existing nodes: * * (Note the lack of the 'Import Status: Not Processed' message - here is the key) * That leads me closer to believing there is some other system that is interfering, and my bet would be…

Hi there, SolarWinds are currently working on full SD-WAN support, and you can read more about what is currently available here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/resources/b/product-blog/posts/sd-wan-what-we-do-now Basically, the overview is that SD-WAN devices aren't inherently incompatible, and if their MIBs are already…

Hi there, The transform and all pollers used in the transform need to be assigned to the node in question, or you'll have problems: At this point, click on the transform listed there and see the output: Then you should be able to see the information on the dashboard: Kind regards, Marlie Fancourt | SolarWinds Pre-Sales…

Hi there, There's no native way to do this in the SolarWinds reporting feature, so the best you could do is output the report to a file, then manually attach it to an email after you've written up your conclusions and observations. Kind regards, Marlie Fancourt | SolarWinds Pre-Sales Manager Prosperon Networks | SolarWinds…

Hi there, On every dashboard you can set a view limitation, which will restrict the types of devices that will be shown in the widgets there. In order to set this up, go to the Pencil Icon, then Page Settings on the sidebar: Under this you can then see 'View Limitation': Press edit and then you can choose how to restrict…

You will always have one polling engine listed in there, the Primary Polling Engine that is also hosting the SolarWinds website and services. SolarWinds has 2 main capacity limits, the first is going to be if you have any license that is not marked as 'Unlimited' - this will be a hard limit, as once you reach, for example,…

Hi Raja, NPM ships with the integrated Virtual Infrastructure Monitor (VIM) feature which allows you to add your hosts and guests into NPM for monitoring, but each of these take up a license cost as the actual monitoring is still being done by NPM. VMAN does offer any increased ability for monitoring, but instead opens up…

Hi there, You could definitely add a filter for node.status <> 1 (not equals to down), depending on how you built that table. Kind regards, Marlie. 

Hi there, SolarWinds polls specific OIDs for F5 information, you can find the full list here: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/What-OIDs-are-polled-for-F5-statistics?language=en_US In order to determine whether or not your devices are able to provide that data, you should run an SNMP walk to the…

Hi there, The table is Orion.APM.ComponentAlertThresholds Kind regards, Marlie Fancourt | SolarWinds Pre-Sales Manager Prosperon Networks | SolarWinds Partner since 2006 If this helps answer your question please mark my answer as confirmed to help other users, thank you!

Hi there, SEM can natively pull through Windows Application logs with no problems, if you make a filter like this you can see all of the logs that are being pulled through from any device: If you go to Nodes > Select an Agent node > Manage Connectors, you should see something like the following: If that is green it means…

Hi there, At this point there is no usable API for the SEM platform, even if the /API URL seems to bring something back. It is most likely a feature that is being worked on, although no roadmap information is currently available to confirm that. Kind regards, Kind regards, Marlie Fancourt | SolarWinds Pre-Sales Manager…

Hi there, First of all, this is the forum for SEM (Security Event Monitor) and not SAM (Server Application Monitor) which I think your question is related to. SolarWinds does in fact give you a notification when new updates are available: In order to do this, it must be able to communicate back to the customer portal, so…

Hi there, Regardless of the connector status, if you are receiving 'Server Unreachable' when sending Syslogs that is a symptom of a whole different problem. If you connect to the CMC console for…

There's always the nuclear option if you don't want to have to mess around (You may have to unmanage and remanage to clear any current status): UPDATE [dbo].[APM_ComponentTemplate] Set IsDisabled = 1 where name = 'Attempted to logon using explicit credentials event' Or for individual applications: UPDATE…

Hi there, I don't have any SQL databases that are in the same status, so can't confirm but I think the Orion.APM.CurrentApplicationStatus table is probably the right one: Something like this SWQL query would probably work to display all the Errors related to AppInsight for SQL: SELECT TOP 1000 ApplicationID, Availability,…

Hi there, This error is detailed here, no doubt Support have already sent it to you: support.solarwinds.com/.../APE-configuration-wizard-failed-with-error-RabbitMQ-on-Primary-server-port-5671-is-not-reachable But have you tried the following steps to blow away RabbitMQ entirely? This is what usually helps me when it is…

Bahahaha! There IS a very sneaky way of using only a single node license by creating a single template with hundreds of PowerShell components running locally, but I certainly don't think it's a good use of time to develop it all!

Hi there, Based on what you've typed, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have to create templates via the API, as the API is generally used for bulk changes and a template should only need to be created once for each application. Can you explain a little more about what you are trying to accomplish with this? Now, for the…

Thanks for sharing, this got a really great laugh out of me! What does the License Details (/Orion/Admin/Details/ModulesDetailsHost.aspx) page say?

Yep absolutely agree! Still not as awkward as trying to change from SNMP/Agent status polling to ICMP status polling in bulk though ;)

Hi Amit, Nice work, we also do this regularly as part of our consultancies, and it has a great benefit to customers. I just wanted to pop by to say that there IS a way to do this via the GUI, it's just a little awkward and slow is all! First, go to 'Manage Nodes' then group by, for example, Windows Server 2019 - Once…

Hi there, There are quite a lot of 2020 releases, the newest being 2020.2.6 HotFix 2 - Each of these minor upgrades bring a lot of minor bugfixes that may be able to resolve the problems you are having. On top of that, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take that might help: Clear SWIS…

Hi there, When you create a new dashboard, it isn't by default assigned to any type of device. In order to have specific dashboards for your different devices, you can go to 'Settings' > 'All Settings' then scroll down to 'Views by Device Type': Under this, you should be able to set a specific view for any different…

Hi there, What you have looks good so far - my personal preference would be to also include ICMP nodes, as for most things you SHOULD be monitoring more than just latency and packet loss. For the first point, I've found this is a pretty good query to look at devices that haven't had an uptime poll go through: SELECT…
