The custom table resource does not support the use of the _linkfor_ and _iconfor_syntax. You would need to fully build out the HTML and then check the box in the custom table to allow HTML in your column. something like concat('<a href="https://<ServiceNow…

Agreed, ever since Perfstack came out I have been pushing my clients away from building out chart dashboards as much as possible. Perfstack is MUCH faster to build the views and looks a lot better than what people have been able to build with the native resources. 

I've always felt like there was some overhead and concurrency going on where the time it takes to discover is not directly linear to the number of nodes, as in 10 nodes might take 5 minutes, but 100 nodes does not take anywhere near 50 minutes, more like 15. I haven't thrown wireshark on there to verify but it would seem…

Definitely, the timestamps on the data are based on the router's time, try getting them to send with the same time zone and see what you get

A ball park way to figure this out is to go to SQL and run the built in report on space used per table. Subtract out any space in your db being used by traps and sys logs tables since those tend to be big and are unrelated to the number of polled objects. Divide what you have left by the number of elements being monitored…

If you only have NPM then server interfaces aren't available to monitor, they consider that to be a feature of SAM

As far as mentoring, this forum is the place, you ask and hopefully someone takes an interest in responding. 

Agreed, discarded configurations are almost always a syntax problem with the device template being used. You are getting connected and everything looks legit up until the point where you are sending your show-running type commands. The trace will should you exactly what commands solarwinds is sending and what responses it…

I will say srm is significantly less common than npm or sam, since there is nothing especially unique to srm reporting as opposed to those other modules you'd probably get more traction just asking questions like this in those sections, or in the dedicated reporting subforum.Report Lab

The PM's for NTM have come into here often and said they will continue to throw small improvements and patches/fixes into NTM, but in their view this product fills a niche in terms of a low cost product that is easy enough to use for simple environments (List price is only $1495 flat out). NTM will not become an enterprise…

^ backups are vital, ESPECIALLY if the database contains data that is considered revenue generating for your business. It would be as though a bank didn't backup the records of money moving in and out of accounts and lost that. With good backups and some clever DBA work you might be able to backfill the gap in the data. As…

Did you by chance upload your UNDP package to the content exchange?

No change to this, still the same vendors. You can probably roll your own using the custom UNDP's if supermicro has them reachable via SNMP or build some script based SAM monitors but it wouldn't show up alongside the OOTB hardware health info. Unfortunately SM is just not a huge player in this space so they don't get a…

I can't access my lab right now but if the alert engine ui doesn't let you set a node custom property based on a component level status then I know it can be done with a relatively simple swql query

I just want to point out that I would probably avoid investing a TON of effort into anything that relies on the VMAN appliance right now as the latest release of VMAN no longer requires it, so I expect it won't be too long before they deprecate the appliance completely.

Adding on to the above, you will need to do a lot of testing around setting up multi tenancy in this way to make sure you do a good job of it, the Orion suite isn't really dialed in for it at this point in time and depending which modules you have there will be a lot of data bleeding through beyond the account limitations.…

A few versions back IPAM didn't have the concept of using anything beside the main poller for anything, so I expect this screen and feature must have slipped past their test cases when they added that feature in. Pretty sure it will have to be treated as a feature request for the time being.

James built some completely custom reporting for the Solarwinds products that did not have as good of reporting built into them, such as PM/WHD/DPA. Pretty impressive stuff from what I saw.

Pretty old post, but yeah I think it's important that people be clear that the DB maintenance has been completely automatic and built in for years, I think maybe even forever.

Don't have VNQM handy but if there's any knobs to adjust they would likely be in the advanced config section https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Advanced-Configuration-access-in-Orion-Platform

At the time when this post was made the nta db was a completely different format, its now a more typical mssql db with column store indexes, so standard aggregation works as it would on any other mssql db. Depending how you write the query the performance can be tricky because there's a lot of data.

Here you go Schedule reports from the Schedule Manager

That query that comes up in SMSS is just a placeholder that would be like a show all kind of command. You can safely erase it, no problems. The commands they give you just update the contents of the settings table, when you go to close the window it will most likely ask you if you want to save the query but you do not need…

If you are referencing the name of the database then I'm assuming you are trying this as SQL, it's not SQL it's SWQL. You would put this into a custom query resource or use a custom table resource with the custom data option set to SWQL. My original version assumes you have NPM/SAM/WPM but the version posted by tedapap​…

So this can be a bit messy because of all the scenarios where basically any type of object can be a parent to any other type of child object type. Going to have to play with some case logic to make this into less of an unreadable mess....

That's not really accurate, you can filter against specific days and hours by following this kb entirely within the GUI, no SQL required. Use Report Manager to configure business hours in web-based reports - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

I ran into this earlier today and just assumed that my CTE wouldn't work and went to do it another way. Glad to know there's a workaround

I believe hnz980​​ is referring specifically to SRM monitoring. The method described in your link is for NPM SNMP based polling where SRM mostly uses SMI-S. Solarwinds supports Isilon and Equalogic arrays which also use SNMP so the capability seems to be there but so far Nutanix hasn't made the cut. I believe there are a…

It should be fine since all of the ports listed in the requirements for are actually just plain tcp. I recently migrated a fairly large sitescope environment into Solarwinds, ~14,000 monitors across ~2000 servers and in that case the hardest part was just exporting lists of the things we needed out of sitescope. Once we…

The tcp port monitor is pretty simple to set up, so I would wager that if you are having a hard time we should probably step back and begin with the basics of how to create templates SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor Training: Creating a New Application Template - YouTube SAM Custom Template Guide - SolarWinds…
