You may be the first, good luck! From looking at their docs it probably can be done pretty similar to the way it's done integrating with Slack/MS Teams Slack Alert Integration - Overview

technically you could basically roll you own version of all the other modules using SAM, but you'd be custom scripting lots of it, so much so that by the end you would basically have been able to write your own tool from scratch. Yes those are all possible, some are easy, some are not so easy.

The simple answer is administrator on the server that you are polling, otherwise wmi doesn't work. You can create non admin users by following this guide, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Server_Application_Mo… You can also use SNMP for some but not all of…

It can vary WIDELY depending on how thorough you want to be with monitoring and how creative you can get if you do run into license count bottlenecks. Back of the hand, I would estimate a 50 server environment would want somewhere between an AL700 and an AL1500. 700 would likely feel kind of tight on licenses and might not…

I'm traveling right now so I can't pull this up to give you more detailed info, but I've seen in the past that it gets it from Active Directory, but not the location field. I think it was the Site field. See if that matches up with your environment and let us know. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and…

Agreed, I have always discouraged my clients from using agents as their standard polling method on Windows because I think they bring in so many more headaches compared to using WMI. I feel like they help enough with Linux machines to be worth the hassle there, and so far the new mapping features have not quite been enough…

Among the clients I have worked with I have never met anyone who used Opsgenie and complained about it. They like that tool for sure and it is a relatively painless integration, easy to do the one way from Solarwinds to Opsgenie but not 100% out of the box to push data back from OG to SW. If you deploy their marid server…

A couple elements at play here. Assuming you are looking at the same reports I am then the node availability reports won't let you use the web UI to adjust the range because they are from the legacy Report Writer application on the server. If you load that application up on the orion server you can customize the time…

Not specifically, but isn't the message different between a new node versus a node being moved to another poller? I think you could filter against the message text to exclude those moves. I've done reports for people before on Node added and didn't notice mine picking up moving them, but it's also possible I just wasn't…

Here is how I do these, at least once a month for clients. 1 Back up your existing orion server 2 Backup the database 3 Upgrade in place - I have found that things tend to be easiest to upgrade the existing server and db in place first, hunting down the exact versions of each old module on the old system to install on the…

The undp tool has a table query, which is what it sounds to me like you are describing. Use that?
-
That particular alert has been so buggy for me over the years, and I hate leaving my passwords anywhere they can be easily pulled up in plain text like that. I always completely ditched that way of doing it in favor of just sending a normal email with a link to the netflow page where they can see the top talkers for that…
-
Maintenance mode could actually be two completely different things, unmanaged or muted. Muting stops the specific node object from triggering any alerts, but they still get polled and their statuses still change as normal. The group is a different object and so it still had whatever alerts you set up for it. There isn't…

Even in simple environments having the DNS on demand really hurts the load times, I'd definitely suggest changing that setting.
-
If you haven't already installed any solarwinds software to the server it will prompt you on, last I checked, the first screen to change the install path. Lots of people miss it so just keep an eye out.
-
Someone may weigh in who knows about some backend API that I'm not aware of with that tool but since SSMS is not even remotely a web interface you may be getting into some pretty hackish territory displaying it via Solarwinds. Off the top of my head you could try something like setting up a machine with that screen…

Why would you want to raise the same alert for a disk space issue as you would for a node down issue? The troubleshooting process would be entirely different in each case and depending how your company slices things up it could be different teams handling the issue. If you already have triggered this alert because a disk…
-
There isn't any kind of 1 to 1 transfer but almost everything that I've seen in the VMAN appliance could have a rough equivalent in an Orion dashboard widget, but many of them will have to be custom tables or custom charts.
-
Nothing built in had any idea what OU the nodes may or may not be in, but this wouldn't be terribly hard to do through powershell and the API if that's the kind of thing you are into. Run a powershell script to identify all the AD objects and their containing OU, foreach OU check for an existing group, if none create it,…
-
As far as your points about trying to automate and streamline your processes, you can use the alerting engine to set custom properties and i think that would be pretty easy to do in this case. Write a rule that says basically what you were describing above, name contains sql or name contains dw but not web, and also have…

When doing things like this in Solarwinds you will make your life a LOT easier if you don't try to key in in naming conventions for your rules/alerts/whatever. Go to the settings page and click Manage Custom Properties. Create a new node custom property that you can use to identify the servers. Create a custom property…

Instead of doing subselects it seems like you should be left joining those. This is what i was able to cook up, except I didn't have your properties so I used some others as placeholders in my lab so hopefully it all ports over for you. select distinct n.CustomProperties.os_cbu as [Customer Business Unit] - start with list…

shack The way they handle the appinsight things kind of obscures this, but those ones you are looking for there are just regular components. To add them to your report just make a table reporting on components, I was able to find them by setting up a data source for a table like so You might want to be more specific for…

The piece of information that you're looking for to get switch stack data is definitely in the system but I don't recall if any of the out of the box reports display it. You may find that you have to just create your own report where is the object of the report is a switch stack. Next time I'm at a computer I can take a…

SAM is not really dialed in to be an aggregator of alerts from other non-orion tools. You can send traps/syslogs into SAM and trigger on those via Log Analyzer, but Orion doesn't have the internal infrastructure for things like tracking alert status in another tool unless you roll your own custom integrations between the…

This is the query I use for unmanaged/muted nodes, you might find it helpful. I edited it to pull in the comment the way you have it on yours. SELECT'Unmanaged' as [Status],n.Caption AS [Node],tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageFrom)) AS [From],case when n.UnManageUntil is null or n.UnManageUntil = '9999-01-01 00:00:00' then 'Not…

Event history is only held for 30 days by default, and alerts drop out of the history in the same time period except the ones that are still active. Nothing in that query is filtering the time, you just don't have any data older than what you see.

You probably want to avoid putting much work into the trap viewer tool, its on the way to being deprecated. This article mentions some of the syntax https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Customize-an-SNMP-Trap-email-message ${vbName1}:${vbData1} The part that gets ugly is that traps have a variable number…
