Amusingly enough in the copy of this report that I keep on my system it is grouped by solarwinds groups and application names as a custom property, i removed that all because i thought it might not apply to your situation. Here is what it looks like when I set it up that way: In this scenario My groups are set up to have…

EOC is not a requirement. I've done many globally distributed installs that just used additional pollers and additional web servers. You have to have a decent link back from the APE to the core DB but it definitely works. I typically only use EOC in cases where there are multiple existing solarwinds environments that we…

Yeah, I was just discussing it with a client yesterday, SAM 6.6 does give the Windows agent something to potentially make it worth the hassle. I just had so many experiences with the agents becoming unresponsive under assorted circumstances that it has made me wary. I REALLY don't like to babysit my Solarwinds stuff. I…

I think you misread the post, RabbitMQ requires TLS 1.2 Solarwinds can more or less get by without RabbitMQ at this point because it fails back to MSMQ for poller to poller communication but I don't know how far that backward compatibility extends with the new product features since they switched to using RabbitMQ

Assuming you set the data source the same way between the chart and the table you showed the it feels like maybe you are experiencing some kind of bug. Are you running the latest release? there was a bug in it that messed up certain types of custom charts with swql/sql data sources but that was fixed with HF2, so if you…

Correct

You shouldn't be unioning anything if you are just trying to remove orphan entries. Should have better luck with something like *untested psuedocode ahead* delete from responsetime left join nodes on nodes.nodeid = responstime.nodeid where nodes.nodeid is null

ok that makes sense, for some reason I thought you were trying to use all 4 of those filters in the same resource. So your problem is when you apply the top filter nothing matches, but you are expecting something. So I'm not seeing anything obviously glitchy in the syntax, I'd just break the filters down until you…

The raw value in the DB is just availability I think, you can see what it is and the kind of path to get there by looking at the line that cuts off "vailability" in the screenshot there

I had seen the same issue before, but haven't run into again in several months so you can consider that a small data point in favor of it being fixed at some point.

There is a drop down for selecting the time ranges you want your report to include, for monthly reports selecting "last month" would give you all the data from the previous calendar month, based on the server time.

Hard for me to speculate, the specific quirks of Windows Domain account permissions have always been a little out of my wheel house (network engineer before I took up this career of Solarwinds trainer). In this case you do have a bit of a smoking gun at least that there is something different between how that account is…

In terms of how much work it would be on your end, upgrading from the old version is likely to be a pretty complex process, I'd expect it to take most of a full day, as there are going to be several intermediate upgrades you would need to pass through. You can get a plan for most of those using the upgrade advisor here,…

Maybe the ASA behaves differently that Cisco routers, because list resources on a router with a tunnel definitely shows up as a type of interface. If the ASA doesn't have them under list resources then you may very well be in a bind.

In the powershell component setting there is an option of local or remote execution, sounds like you want to use remote execution in this case

So the way the relationships with Cirrus and Orion works is that NCM/Cirrus used to be a completely separate product and used GUIDs instead of the integer based id's. To translate between NPM and Cirrus you can do something like this. You might need to do some left or right joins depending on what you are looking for, but…

Haha yeah that would indeed make a difference

I think the crux of the issue is that last part, I'm not aware of any tool that would seamlessly monitor all of those old OS scenarios, but I would be very interested to hear which ones you have in mind. If you are stuck using 15 year old software then you would also likely be stuck using the "state of the art" monitoring…

For any interface UNDP solarwinds is going to map the UNDP values to the interface in the database, no interface in the database then there is nothing to map to so it discards the data.

To make your life easier you might want to use a sql script to handle this in bulk so you don't have to do them one by one. update nodes set caption = ip_address

Yep, just tested it by changing the chart to last 7 days with hourly intervals instead of daily. The raw timestamps are all midnight, but the chart is showing them in the late evening of the previous day.

Have you ever used a tool like treesize to browse all the directories and figure out how big they are? If you have then you might have noticed it typically takes it several minutes, sometimes like 30, to scan a drive. If you set up a monitor that just browses every folder it could get bad. A custom powershell script could…

This is a sanitized example of a powershell script that creates a tree with 5 nested layers. It's pretty overkill for most use cases and the specific example here assumes you have a stack of custom properties and SAM and WPM so most people would be able to just copy this and run it in their environment, mostly just useful…

We would have to see the logic you used for your table, those values are more than likely coming from some completely unrelated undp you are using elsewhere in the tool.

The free version of Log Analyzer will eventually replace it for everyone is my understanding. If you have the current version of VMAN with the event integration, or have installed an LA eval then it will already have been replaced for you. Integrating Orion to Slack doesn't normally require any powershell, and technically…

1500 is not a big environment at all, but the fact that your db manager doesn't show any values for space used it pretty strange. Maybe open a support ticket

Upgrade in place is definitely preferable

SWQL has had TOUPPER() and LOWER for a while SWQL Functions · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub and the swql searches are not case sensitive unless you make them that way, its just using a normal LIKE on the back end in most cases.

No the node should not trigger an alert, but the group is another object completely and the group fires its own alerts. I didn't dig into that part of the UI to check for muting groups, but id thre option is there then that would solve the issue. I don't know if that button will mute the nodes and the group or just the…

I don't see why you need 216 alert definitions to cover the 3 cases, is the difference just that you create a different alert depending on who gets notified, but otherwise the alerts are the same?
