  • The vulnerability info is not a scan, it is a notification that your model/version MIGHT be vulnerable to an issue. If you have remediated or mitigated the issue you have to click into there and mark them off. This process is not automated and Solarwinds does not have a built in pen test type tool to validate your results.
  • Zubair, Dynamic group definitions absolutely do impact the performance of the application. Depending on your hardware when you get into several hundred dynamic groups it can really crush the performance of NPM. At this time the best solutions I have seen were to either reduce the frequency that Orion refreshes the groups…
  • I remember a while ago where i had attempted to use a CTE and couldnt get it to pass the validation checker. I was able to rework the query to get what i needed without a CTE and that worked. Had to be way more elaborate and tricky with the sql but it got done.
  • it's a bit tricky, but from when I've played with it before, all interfaces on servers will not count against the NPM interface elements count limit. Anything where the device category shows up as being network or other counts against the NPM element limits. something like select count(*), n.category from nodes n join…
  • Hey Doug, I believe weight is based on the number of polls that were averaged into the min/max/avg figures for those archived datetimes. So to accurately average detailed values against the archived values you have to make the weighted values count for proportionally more than the detailed ones.
  • I love when I see my SWQL scripts floating around, haha. I think you could do something like order by minutediff(ah.TimeStamp,ack.timestamp) to get what you want done.
  • How granular you can get is kind of a function of how quickly the endpoints can respond to the polling requests. Default SAM templates are all set to collect one datapoint every 5 minutes, Node stats like cpu and mem default to 10 minutes but I've seen many people reduce that interval. I've not had any client who felt it…
  • Surprised your support person wasn't able to do better than that, its pretty easy. Add a custom chart, set up the datasource like this to include all vm's Then click add data series, click vm statistics history on the left, pick whatever stat you want in the chart and add it. Set it to only show top 10 by average cpu load…
  • You are correct, when they added the new tooltip they didn't seem to add any method for removing properties, also it only shows the first 5 properties which means for most people that it would only show the OOTB ones. This issue was raised at the time the feature was implemented and I don't recall anyone posting a…
  • Try changing volumetype to contains fixed, some systems report as "fixed disk" others are "fixeddisk" maybe also set the node name to contains as well
  • Hover over any button you want to recreate and see if it is a JavaScript or a url. Url based buttons are easy to create but so far I haven't been able to work out the JavaScript
  • It should be up within like 5 minutes, I'd open a support ticket in your situation. Maybe set up some other netpaths to other types of devices or areas of the network to try and pin the problem down a bit more, but there isn't really much magic to setting them up, give it a hostname/ip and a port and it should take care of…
  • On the NPM side for nodes you will probably need to write a custom sql/swql alert that counts the number of disk hardware issues grouped by nodeid and triggers on any nodeid having count>1 On the SRM array side you would use similar logic, just looking at the disks and counting the number of disks in a failure mode. I…
  • Currently you have to make a copy of each report and edit it. When I need parameters and to allow dynamic content and such I just do reports out of SSRS Custom Reports with SQL Reporting Services
  • What tool are you using to install snmpv3 on your servers? Microsoft does not include a method of natively supporting snmpv3 in windows so you have to have added some third party software at some point.
