When you check the box for hostname based polling it will grey out the IP field and have a box where you would type in the DNS name you want the poller to send requests. Once you set that then instead of going directly to the IP it will perform DNS lookups from the polling engine to whatever DNS server it has configured.…

When you say monitor the O365 connectivity, what metrics are you interested in gathering. Different modules will show you different things, so it depends on which ones you have purchased to get a sense of what you are looking at. You mentioned flow which implies network bandwidth use. If that is the case it won't really…

I've seen cases where views became corrupt because of a specific resource that was having problems and I was able to figure out the resource and remove it, also some times where I haven't been able to figure out the resource but creating a new view with all the same resources worked. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems:…

The failover process itself takes about 2 minutes to get the services back up, and maybe another minute to get the website responding in all environments where i have tested. The part that takes longer and really hurts end users is almost always in getting your user browser sessions to drop their cached dns entry. For…

This is probably a support ticket kind of thing, i'd probably just start with running the configuration wizard on the server to begin and see how things go. I'd also be curious if your system is even polling data correctly right now since there seem to be issues scheduling jobs.

You can limit a user/group to only see specific nodes, but if anyone can make changes to views then those view changes impact all users, and you can't specify that someone only has access to specific dashboards.

Are you running platform 2019.2 yet? They reworked how node statuses work in the latest release (although if you are upgrading there is a button you have to hit to enable the new status logic) I don't have any VM's breaching thresholds right now to confirm but it looks like they should be impacting the node status with VM…

Been a long while since I worked on on of these versions so I may be fuzzy on the details but the first thing is you can't safely put newer application versions at old versions of the database. You have to run the upgrade installers on the old instances so they can apply the necessary changes to the databases. As part of…

To add to mandevil explanation, you are potentially misunderstanding what cpu/memory wait is showing. It's not like cpu ready on a VM where the process is not running because it needs an available cpu core. CPU/Memory wait basically is the counter of how much time the server is actually spending processing data. If all…

So I have wrestled with this a bit in the past and this is my thought. For one, NPM isn't natively collecting info about the port channels/etherchannels/lags, but most devices do present that info via SNMP, so it could be possible to rig up some UNDP pollers to figure out which interfaces are tied back to an aggregation.…

In cases where SRM does not support your array then there is really nothing you can do to get them to show up in SRM besides sending a feature request to Solarwinds and hoping they add your array. If the Huawei array uses SNMP and you have NPM or SAM you could set up custom UnDP pollers or SNMP component monitors to…

I don't normally have to add in extra wait times, but it could be possible, especially when your page has some kind of javascript interactive element that takes time in addition to the normal html stuff. Whenever I have to deal with JS I am pretty likely to make my recordings using the xy capture mode anyway, which tracks…

There is no way to do empty values in the account limitation builder. This has to do with how SQL works, it won't directly compare null values against real values and behind the scenes the web ui is sanitizing your sql input and forming it into a LIKE statement.

I assume you are asking to monitor a windows event log? Windows Event Log monitor If you need some other log file parsed then there are two built in examples of using a script to parse log files, one in powershell and the other in perl Log Parser

UDT doesn't track bandwidth usage at all, its mostly up/down status plus attached mac addresses and arp tables. Also polling intervals are in the 30+ minute range normally, so even if you want touse data from UDT to complement security tools, you have to factor in that it is not real time. For basic bandwidth information…

You are correct, the dependency feature only covers node down issues. With some custom sql/swql you could probably cook up an alert logic that checked the dependencies and if the parent of a dependency already has a response time alert active suppress it for the downstream devices. Probably need to do some kind of self…

Yes, you can create a custom report/table that shows whatever info you wanted about the nodes and set the data set to include nodes who have status = Unmanaged. For example in my lab i built a report that shows my unmanaged nodes like so - -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services *…
-
A down node indicates that whatever method of polling you have selected is not available from the poller to the endpoint, so you have to troubleshoot those polling methods and those locations. First, you should be testing from your polling engine, can you ping the ip from on that server? If you cannot hit it from there,…

Doesn't a dbcc check failure report something to the SQL error log that you can report on? I've definitely created dashboards and reports before so i know the info is in there somewhere.

For any device with suggested dates found you have to click them and hit the assign dates near the top, then look through the notifications they list and determine which dates apply to your hardware. Due to the inconsistencies in how devices label themselves in SNMP vs what is on the EOL notice SW often can't just figure…

It's possible to rework that script, but have you heard that they added in a built in template for active directory, and are working on bringing trusts into the next release of it? Probably should try to weigh in on this thread to help the PM know what you want to watch. SAM users - we need your help!

Most load balancers don't do much more than verifying that there is a port open to connect to on the pool member. Within Orion you could possibly set up a WPM transaction or a SAM http form login monitor pointed directly at the individual web servers instead of the load balanced dns name, and have that actually…
-
These are hard coded into the UI so I don't think you could safely change the way they work inside the db itself, but here is an example of a custom SWQL query that uses case logic to re-order them so I could use max() to get the "worst" alert state. I add this resource to my Node Details pages and also have leveraged a…

On the section of the discovery where you set up the automatic import you can filter interfaces by all kinds of things, its extremely filterable. On the other hand, disk volumes don't give you anything to filter against against volumetype, which is fixed disk for almost everything on a linux host, so its not really…

Is this cluster in vcenter and are you polling through that vcenter or hitting the hosts directly? It would appear from the vmware documentation that vcenter based polling should still be available via the VMware API as long as the account you use is in the exceptions and has appropriate permissions, but I don't know if…

I will say, I've done several head to head comparisons between Orion and other monitoring tools where other vendors send whoever they have to show the client how to do a list of tasks in their tool, then I come through and show them how to do it in Orion. I've never lost a deal in those scenarios, even when there were…

Building out the design you are looking at will be a beast to work on but unrelated to that, there is a big gotcha I want to point out to you before you get too far down this road. Dynamic groups in Orion are pretty taxing for the system, depending on how beefy your server is once you get somewhere between 100-400 dynamic…

Honestly the best way I can imagine for this would be to stand up a web server in a DMZ and just have that web server present a simple page that pulls it's data from your internal Orion server's API.
