There is an option near the bottom called view limitations, you can go into those and select a group of nodes, or a group of groups, or nodes with pattern matched names, or key into you custom properties, it's a pretty open ended tool.

^ This is how I generally do it as well. Sometimes have to nest a few categories of groups inside each other depending on the complexity of the application. Using a large scaled Solarwinds deployment as an example I might do something like this: > Solarwinds Overall Group > Solarwinds Web Servers - WebServer1 -…

This is roughly what I have done in the past as well, point Appinsight at the listener address and bury all the db's that don't apply. It worked pretty well at the time but I haven't set one of these up for any clients in a while.

^ but it will only be there for 30 days, so snag that data quickly before its gone.

The way you basically do this right now is to run a discovery against all of the nodes, and then pick all of the interfaces and volumes you want it to bring in. Since v12 you can set up rules to automatically run discoveries and add interfaces/volumes that match rules you build. 

Yeah, I have had a few clients who "remade" the SQL account on the secondary members but they didn't re-use the same SID so it wouldn't work, had to learn how to do it myself so I could teach it to their DBA's.

I mean the whole my dashboards, reports, alerts, settings menus are drop downs, and my dashboards has drop downs within the drop downs? You may not know the look of the software when this post was made but in 2008 you really couldn't fit nearly as much as everything was just a link at the top of the page.

As a workaround you could do something hacky like copy the polling method to a custom property on all your nodes to expose that data point to the dynamic query builder. If you don't mind getting really hacky I've found that if you edit the definitions directly in the db you can actually make almost anything you want…

Is ip address one of the columns that has been selected on your view? I believe it only searches the columns you have selected.

Also, ADDING CUSTOM TABS TO THE TOP LEVEL NAV BAR with the API *totally not supported, back up your DB before you try anything but I use this tool with every client I touch these days.

I've done it in the past. Client was an MSP who took photos of each of the locations they supported to document where the physical assets were in the building. We created a directory inside inetpub/solarwinds/orion/images/ and loaded all their images into it. Renamed the image files themselves with a naming convention that…

Building on what chad.every​ said, you can use the ConvertTo-Html command in powershell to automatically take your array of data and turn it into a big html formatted string. I haven't tested it with your specific inputs but if you play around with it that will probably get you all sorted out. -Marc Netterfield Loop1…

in the more recent releases they added in the network insight for asa/nexus/palo alto, they also moved the device templates from NCM to core orion at the same time since now there seem to be some cases in plain NPM where the tools would be ssh'ing into devices.

I've spent a lot of time working with Atlas and to the best of my knowledge it can't be done, Atlas as it works right now does not allow changing gif's or backgrounds. I put in a feature request for it here if you want to vote it up -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN:…

Go to the netflow summary page and there should be a list of sources and a timestamp for the last time that interface sent flows, it should be within the last minute or so. If your interface isn't showing in the sources list then there should be things in the netflow events saying it received flows from an unmonitored…

Wooooo running version 2012 you are in for a hard life. No official support for that old of a version and few people on Thwack who can even remember how things worked back then. I'd assume the environment you are working on doesn't have a current maintenance contract. If they do I would be looking to make a plan for a…

dgsmith80​, the image came in super tiny, at least in my browser mnostrom​, this is how I would do what you have specified Obviously filter on custom properties or whatever you have to get your list of servers. Pick your columns out from the selections, I went with Caption, then jump down to the CPU / Memory History…

Good idea, makes sense to get around the limitations of SWQL itself using the features of your scripting language.

From past experience I would say that Kiwi will continue to get enough development to keep it running as it does now, basically bug fixes and such, in line with how it has been the last couple years. On the other hand LM for Orion will be the place where the new activity is focused, since that better aligns with the single…

I'll say that the answer is yes, but the specific execution may vary in terms of how you do it as this would all be relatively custom code using the SDK. Since Solarwinds is polling your vcenter periodically it already should already have info about all of the VM's that exist in terms of ip addresses and such. I would…

Credid=-3 is the way Orion tells it to just try to poll using the creds we already have on the node, so im not surprised that if you trim that part of the string it just defaults top the same thing.

They were probably thinking too literally. You can't filter the specific widget that you referenced, but one of the strengths of the Orion platform is that it it's extremely customizable. From custom tables to swql/SQL to pulling the data into javascript and building completely new ui elements, if you roll up your sleeves…

To be more clear. Add custom table widget Configure the resource It will ask you for a data source, specify that you want hardware sensor (node) for the object type at the top Add 3 filters with OR selected in the dropdown On the 3 filters set them all to hardware sensor status equals critical or down or warning Accept…

borgan​ Set up your alert as a Custom swql alert on the trigger page, then select Node as the condition. Then add in this swql in the box below: join Orion.NPM.CustomPollerAssignment cpa on cpa.nodeid=nodes.nodeid join Orion.NPM.CustomPollerStatus cps on cps.CustomPollerAssignmentID=cpa.CustomPollerAssignmentID where…

Just to reassure you, I'm pretty certain this can be done, but it requires a bit of custom sql/swql. I just wrapped up with my work for today so I'll take a minute to play with this query and see what I can come up with.

Ahhh, so that lends another datapoint to the idea that it's hard to get acceptable performance from it then

Fancy seeing your here Ben, I'm also getting this issue with a client site running NPM 12

At this point there are some limitations to doing this with the API. You can assign an existing template to a node from the api and you can update the properties of a template, but you cannot create a new template from scratch without using the GUI. In theory if you REALLY wanted to skip the GUI you could create a template…

Oh nice, should have paid more attention to the release notes, I haven't actually had any clients deploy 12.2 into prod yet so i guess I missed that. Neat feature for sure.
