Have you tried other browsers? I have set up the SWF dashboard stuff for clients using the new UI and not had the problem you describe.

One of the actions you can take in the alert engine is to change node status. You can set up the trigger conditions to be based on anything in the database so triggering a custom status from a custom poller is definitely doable. Take a look at the alert actions and let me know if you need any specific assistance with…

Depending on which version you were running before you may have been bit by this new security feature that they enabled a while ago. Were you just displaying Orion data on your intranet inside an iframe?…

I think you are coming at this from the wrong end. Don't exclude this component from your alert, adjust the threshold for it on the application monitor or template. If you are alerting at the Application level you wouldn't be able to filter it the way you want, you need to alert on Components and then you can filter them…

1 You can filter out the memory stats by limiting the datasource to volumetype like 'fixed%' 2 There is already a days til full calculated by Orion, but it is stored in a section of the database that the GUI doesnt let you easily link in the reports. Pulling those in with the GUI would probably be easiest if you make a…

The restriction only applies to property names that are equal to, not contains because they can jam up the SQL having column names that duplicate existing parts of orion or are the same as SQL functions. Probably not the cause of your bug.

There are a lot of ways to do this. In all cases you would want to apply account limitations to filter them to only see nodes that are intended for their consumption. The specifics of how you set up that limitation are up to your organization. You could set them up based on dynamic queries in groups, aka if the node names…

Are you monitoring vlan 1 as an interface in NPM? Are you seeing any notices in the NTA events indicating that you are receiving traffic from any unknown interfaces/nodes?

Not as part of a WMI query. You could wrap those WMI queries in some powershell and create additional layers of logic that way.

From poking at this in the past it seemed to me that it to get the port count it just looks at the interface type and captures everything that was not virtual, so physical or unknowns if the device doesn't utilize the relevant SNMP OIDs. As far as the available goes, I want to say it is calculated at the time of the…

There is an out of the box alert that does this

I will say I've had a lot more difficult getting custom SWQL variables to show compared to SQL, you might try that, just for a bit of validation. I also avoid using the legacy variable formats like "{$nodename}" and instead always use the insert variable button to the the newer variable formats (the ones with…

Don't think it shows up anywhere in the GUI driven report builder but this SWQL query will get you the raw data for all the baselines for Nodes, Interfaces, and Volumes. You can filter it out from here and get exactly what you need. SELECT TOP 1000 NodeID, EntityType, InstanceId, MetricId, MetricName, InstanceCaption,…

Syncing things up across multiple instances and capturing the nodes, child objects, sam templates, template over rides, custom properties, alerts, views, groups is not something that comes out concisely. I've done it many times for clients in the past but it typically involved 10-20 days of professional services to figure…

See this KB Unable to load VMAN on the Orion Web Console - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Yes it does use WMI locally, you probably want to open a ticket with support so they can investigate your specific situation to fix the problem. 

I always push my clients toward a model where all email based alerts should be actionable. If there is warm and fuzzy stuff then I try to consolidate those into reports or dashboards. Once a shift someone can review all the objects at once that have hit the warning type thresholds in the previous day or whatever, see how…

Go to Settings > Manage Pollers then check the box for energywise and go to +Assign, from there you can control which devices it is on and off for. Same for hardware health.

Looking at that naming convention this is a member of a SQL cluster, i dont recall the details but I've had to hunt around a bit to find the correct address to monitor clusters with before. There are several IP's you might have to try adding as nodes, off the top of my head I think there could be a windows individual…

This is the documentation relating to building business hours based reports Success Center

Adding on to this, I have some similar examples of custom groups pages queries for all kinds of objects that might be useful. This one is current CPU/Mem/Loss/Latency for all nodes in the group, with threshold sensitive icons select n.Caption, n.IP_Address, c.detailsurl as…

The views are attached to the the login group so giving tailored views will require creating additional AD groups or individual logins and setting those each to use the views you want. Be careful going down this road because if you get into doing a lot of customizations for different teams you may create a lot of admin…

So unless I missed something it looks like the GUI doesn't have the option to include endpoint info in the reports, Since I was curious I went ahead and made a custom SWQL query that pulls in the details you asked for. In my test lab I came across some buggy info so I can't say this is 100% but it seems to be a start.…

Orion polls the devices themselves for the thresholds, if you need to customize them then you have to do an over ride, but it cannot be set ahead of time, only after the device is added. Success Center Edit hardware health thresholds

There is a tool on the orion server that you can use for scheduling recurring unmanage windows for any object. https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Configure-Orion-to-unmanage-items-on-a-scheduled-basis

Any chance your Orion server is in a country where the windows localization settings use commas in that way?

So this concept has been a wishlist item of mine for years but time never allows me to get into the weeds with it. About Connecting to Data in Visio | Microsoft Docs You just need to hook visio into your orion db, could use the same account you use for orion to write to it or you can create your own service account if you…

You can go to any view you want this to show up in and add a Custom Query resource and paste the following in. SELECT Caption, detailsurl AS [_linkfor_caption] FROM NCM.Nodes nFull JOIN orion.nodes c ON n.corenodeid=c.nodeidWHERE corenodeid is NULL You can include more columns if you want but that's a basic list of nodes…

If you put something good up for free on the internet it turns out that a million people start trying to use it. So, Openweathermaps gated their system behind an API and you have register an account with them and make some changes to the html example at the top of that thread to get it working now. Look for the comment by…

This has come up a few times, NPM hates hex unfortunately. If you have SAM I suspect you could use a custom powershell script monitor to use a PoSH snmp plugin to pull the data, and PoSH has a lot of flexibility in how it interprets and manipulates data types. SNMP and PowerShell - vWiki
