Wow you are definitely taking dashboards to the next level.

I will update my instructions - You do need to login and create an SaaS account to get the API token for Platform connect. Without this account you cannot connect all of the different parts of Solarwinds together. Make sure the account you use also has email attached to it. Enjoy!

Where do we find this token? I hooked up our Observability and would like to connect DPA and our Lab but I need a token to connect and everything says to login to SaaS to get the token but we are not running SaaS.

That is an amazing report. What I ended up doing is I took Average and Peak Traffic - Last Month and did some customization

My issue is I was trying to use a custom property for a node not a custom property for an interface. Once I realized that this was easy. Thank you again!!!

Custom Property and try to group the interfaces via Custom property. I have an alert setup that monitors our 10GB connections between data centers so I bet if I look at that custom property that would be a decent start. Thanks!!

WMI on both. I saw our AWS setup and yeah…. my guess is the issue is with AWS networking.

I created this for people like me that did not understand "You do not need to own any of SaaS products to do this" 😁 https://thwack.solarwinds.com/discussion/152176/how-to-do-platform-connect-without-a-saas-license-ai-agent#latest

I took a look at what I was doing and decided to start with Tagging log events. I was using the event ID to see if that worked but I found out all the Bitvise events all are 4097 so that would not work. I went into the message and the Data 1 area and used "user authentication rejected" and was able to Tag these events. I…

I was crossing two different things thank you for pointing me in the right direction. More reading up and more questions to follow. I updated our Lab to 2026.1.1 and wanted to look at some of the fun new things. Thank you!!!

Are there instructions on this somewhere? This is really confusing and everything I find says "connect to SaaS" and we do not have SaaS. And this always times out. I am assuming I need to connect it somewhere?

I am a bit confused. Do we need Observability SaaS to use the AI Agent? Most of the instructions I find say "connect to SaaS" to use the Agent but what if we do not have SaaS? Does the AI Agent not work? If someone has a link to documentation that I am missing that would be great. Thanks!

I hit send and figured it out - "refresh_token":"put your token here" Now to figure out how to get the DPA self-signed cert so I can API from Observability to DPA.

If you go to a Node > Properties after Custom Properties for the node you will find Active Directory Domain Controller. This will bring users into UDT.

I stopped all of the services and ran msiexec /i "C:\programdata\Solarwinds\Installers\MIBSv2.msi" and it worked. I will give this a try in Production when I update prod. Thanks!!! Well it installed and now my test environment is borked. Looks like I will stay away from updating the MIB database.

I tried this a no go either. It is not giving me the option to run as an Admin. I am doing this on Server 2022 for Observability.

Windows logs say "cannot install" and close. Which area of Solarwinds Logs would have this?

This is what I have/found and it has the email actions but it does not have Teams or ServiceNow actions. I started looking around SWQL but not getting anywhere. SELECT ac.Name, CASE WHEN ac.Severity = 2 THEN 'Critical' WHEN ac.Severity = 1 THEN 'Warning' END AS Severity, ac.ObjectType, a.Title, ap.PropertyValue AS EmailTo,…

It is really unfortunate what Solarwinds has done to some of what used to be some of its most useful tools. Agreed with Yum off moderation and most of the others that have left Solarwinds this place is just a vibe coded echo of what it once was. The death of THWACK and forcing 3 year jacked up renewals down our throats is…

This looks like a good start - still not super clear on the credentials to monitor SQL https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/scm/content/scm_getting_started_guide.htm

Thank you!!! This simplifies things.

How have the stable have the updates been? I know I have seen some issues with various updates some went off with out a hitch and others are still waiting on the next hot fix . All these cool new features look great but...

OMG these are hilarious...

Registered!

We rock database monitoring - our DBA team loves DPA and we are rolling out SQL Sentry right now. The lead DBAs love all the tools it allows them to see issues in DEV before applications get moved into production. SQL Sentry is really amazing with how it gives you a single pane of glass to see what is going on with…

The DBAs that I work with LOVE this tool and I love that it is pretty much seamless to update.

I love the Office 365 Summary page in the Demo. Are all of these features available in SAM right now? This is amazing!!!

Are these questions based off the SW helpdesk? So far 1/1 for picking at random.

Yaaay!!! API's are still this odd mystery to me even though I have watched and read many things.

I would be toss in Patience here and not just Federal IT but ALL IT. Everyone - no matter if you are doing Cisco ACI work or dealing with printer issues or anything else that end users can come up with you need to have Patience or people will stop contacting you or think IT does not care. So instead of contacting you when…
