The feature request he linked to is still open and has not been marked as implemented, so this feature still does not exist.

If you see it on the interface table it is a monitored interface. Npm doesn't keep entries for interfaces that aren't being monitored. UDT does potentially but that's a different table (if you even have that module)

if they don't show up then you can remove the cpu.enabled is not null, that will probably get them. As for a bulk way to fix those you might be able to just grab all their IP's and run a discovery against them.

I'd agree, i personally do everything I can to avoid agents, but its the low effort answer when security teams start kicking up noise about account permissions. Windows data collection is mess, in a perfect world there would be some form of a read only role that effectively gave you access to all the information on and…

In the custom query widget you probably need to add an order by, I can never tell ahead of time which queries it is going to complain about on the web console. just add this after the last line and see how it goes. ORDER BY a.node.Caption

Yeah, you can use a custom query resource with some swql in it to search out the links to any particular view

Building on that, it is pretty unlikely that pre-existing scripts would already be in a SAM friendly format, but you could just execute their script, then in SAM the body of our script translates whatever they gave you into Statistic: Message: format for Orion.

~20 monitors per system where you install the agent. You can install it on any windows computer and run as many as you want.

There must be something weird about your environment because I can assure you, it normally does create the install directory on it's own. I've installed in at least 100 environments and never had an issue with it completing the install, but not actually creating the directory. This gets back to the reason why they…

The eval frequency is simply how often the alerting engine queries the database for any objects that match your conditions. Lining it up with the polling intervals is something I often do as well where clients have existing performance issues or concerns about them. Technically, even if your stats are on a 5 minute polling…

I think you misunderstand, to get around this licensing issue they allow you to install just the VIM module with no license anywhere you want. You can spin up any number of VIM pollers, exactly the same as using an FC was. No need to buy any APE licenses just for VIM stuff, but if you already have APE's doing other things…

As mentioned in other posts, the support rep you were talking to must have become confused. Those are a completely different set of "free" additional pollers that he was talking about and both products are somewhat new (but I am dissappointed to hear that at least some people in support aren't up to speed on these product…

Yeah, relatively rare that i see an environment using more than 16-32 gb of ram for the orion db, even when they run a ton of modules and elements. Fortunately moving the orion db around is pretty painless and can happen with almost no downtime, just back up the db, restore it to new sql server, stop services, run config…

Do you have SNMP enabled on the devices themselves and turned on in IPAM? If so then that would populate them, otherwise it won't.

No you are not doing it incorrectly. Those blades can have vmware info polled on their regular NIC addresses, but it will not connect directly from this screen. The UCS chassis view will list off the KVM addresses of the blades and if they got disconnected it would show them as being down, but the address associated with…

When you added the blades did you add them from the UCS manager's details screen or did you add them from a discovery/manage nodes? Are you seeing the from the Solarwinds node associated with the manager and not from the addresses for the fabric a/b? If you are savvy in SQL you can pick apart what is going on in the…

The reason that it is different is probably because netpath is a TCP connection on the port you specified, traceroute is just doing ICMP response. Your devices very well could respond promptly to ping but take longer to establish a connection. All the devices between are getting ICMP pinged which is why they still show…

Makes perfect sense, I'll point my script at the core serverwhen I get into the office tomorrow.

Use the advanced selector, there are literally hundreds of properties to choose from in there

The alert history adds a record for every alert or reset action.

Why not just generate a dashboard or a report displaying all these unmuted objects? I add unmanaged or muted objects lists to every team dashboard that way they know they are responsible for their own stuff.

Assuming your template matches the KB martin mentioned above it normally sends the template every few minutes and then everything sorts itself out automatically. If it has been more than 15 minutes and nothing is showing up on your device I would assume the template or config is incorrect in some way. Best way to verify at…

Can you be a bit more specific about the nature of your rule? If there are 400 variations on the log message is that really all tracking back to a single type of issue or is this lots of different situations?

The poor man's ETL process is just to schedule reports with the metrics you think you need and have those reports save to a network share in csv or excel format every day. The nice thing is it's easy to implement with the built in tools, most orgs tend to have at least one excel wizard on staff, and if you ever do end up…

Chris left SW in Dec, so he won't be responding. I think the NPM PM is bhodi​ now. Also, just to save you some heartache, nobody who works at SW will EVER give an ETA on anything, I imagine it must be drilled into them mercilessly when they get hired because they tend to be pretty on-message in that regard.

Yeah tricky, I don't think you can run cli commands to verify audit policy on the DC if you aren't an admin on those boxes

It's annoying but the component statistics arent on the same table as the tooltips we are able to use and Atlas doesn't seem to have any built in capability to hop to the table it needs this data from using the component.currentstatistics.ComponentStatisticData navigation the way you can in other parts of the UI. Hopefully…

Not sure that it can be done via the web report writer but this seems to work in my lab, replace City (3 times in this query) with your custom property for teams Select n.customproperties.City , count(p.name) as [Ports Total] , case when p.OperationalStatus = 1 then 'Up' when p.OperationalStatus = 2 then 'Down' end as…

I'm almost 100% certain that nothing of value would remain in the local db if you are using MS SQL, its just a matter of figuring out where the data lives inside that database. You might reach out to my employer as we have a few people on staff who are intimately familiar with WHD, we actually run a hosted version of it as…

Follow that link to the series alexslv​ created, it has pretty detailed screenshotted examples of how to set up the tables and all the queries he uses. When I first learned SQL those posts were pretty much my inspiration. One of the tricks he demonstrates is how to set up a script to merge the contents of a table full of…
