Do you have a custom property defined with that location? In the web report writer what you would want to do is filter the report to just include nodes that have that custom property.

So far the only solution I've come across to this issue is to set all your orion servers and their SQL db to use UTC time. Technically you could pick any time zone that doesn't observe DST but i think using UTC makes more sense than picking some random one.

All of the resources are in the table called resources, or orion.resources in SWQL Resource properties are currently on visible in SQL, their table is called resourceproperties.

I don't know in this case specifically, but there are a LOT of tables in Orion that have description columns that I've never seen populated. I think in many cases they put them in there as a 'just in case' kind of thing and then never actually did anything with them. Snapshots may be one of those things where the VMware…

I don't know in Netbackup specifically, does it write an event to the windows event log or a log file somewhere when a backup completes/fails? I'm sure there is a way to monitor for it, just need to know how your application keeps track of failures or success and tell SAM to look there. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems:…

Have you already uninstalled everything from the old server? There should be a license manager tool installed alongside UDT (and all other modules for that matter) that allows you to deactive and activate licenses without getting support involved. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional…

The enumeration map does not work the way you are trying to make it work, what they would be used for is when you have a device that returns a value of 1 for normal, and 2 for offline then you can get it to show those strings in the GUI instead of having to remember that 1 is good. If you want to get labels for those rows…

See this thread on how to get around that Custom Maps for Group Details Page

That is going to be a glitch specific to your environment, something is not working right in your software and you should open a ticket.

No it is not okay to remove them, the config wizard uses those files to uninstall and reinstall services, and they also will be necessary when you go to upgrade.

Yes kiwi supports log forwarding and preserving the original source hostname/ip

Did any of the settings change with your domain controller for the new server? I'd expect thats the most likely reason why AD based logins would stop working. Out of the box there is a local "admin" account, and there are kb articles about how to reset it's password if you lose it after setting it since it defaults to…

IIRC it may have moved to the credential and credentialproperties tables

The way netpath traces show up in the database is relatively complex so I haven't taken the time to try and break it all down. The simplest indicator would probably to watch for changes to the Orion.NetPath.Tests table in swql, there are a lot of values there that seem like they could give you info on path changes. SELECT…

Feels like your mail server queue is jammed up? You can click on the alert details view to see the history of alert actions and see the timestamps for when Orion says it send the message. If there was some kind of failure or error they show up there as well. If you aren't actually receiving the message within a few moments…

Go to the manage nodes screen and you can find the ones you need to delete from there.

USB devices can be passed through to a VM and still remain attached even if the VM is vMotioned away from the specific host that the device is attached to. I haven't used this for a modem so YMMV but this is the instructions for it from VMware vSphere Documentation Center -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds…

I use rules in the alert engine to set properties, and if no other rule applies then i have a sort of catch all rule that sets them to Unknown, then I can set up a group to catch all the unknowns

One of the places I look to figure out where people have their databases stashed is to go to the main polling server and run the configuration wizard. It will ask you to confirm the location of the SQL and NTA databases and will be pre-populated with the existing locations. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds…

You enable it in the Settings> Web Console Settings, near the bottom I always thought this was an NPM feature though, I don't have a SAM server that doesn't also have NPM though so I can't confirm that. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook:…

I've never tried to duplicate the hashed value before on a new connection profile but you will see what you want with a SELECT * FROM dbo.NCM_ConnectionProfiles I assume you might be able to build your new profile with all of it's settings how you want them and use a dummy password and then just copy the hashed values from…

It would appear that they were migrated to documentation.solarwinds.com

SQL Server can generally handle a backup of a live system fine. Some DBA's prefer to stop all activity on a DB for whatever reasons they want to come up with, but it is not a requirement and if you think about it there are MANY business critical databases all over the place that are backed up without taking that service…

It is possible to create variations on the group details page, but the ui doesn't have any kind of case logic to understand which group details view would be appropriate. One idea that comes to my mind that might work would be to create each version of the details page that you wanted, and then at the top of them each…

Doable, but I can't think of a way to make it happen in a simple clean way, just some hackish workarounds. The first thing that comes to mind would be setting up a series of custom sql variables in the alert message that would display the info from the cpuload history table for the node from ~10 min ago, ~20 min ago, ~30,…

It looks like you are confused about how NPM licensing works. As the message indicates, your license allows you to monitor a max of 700 disk volumes. Since your servers have multiple disks even with 100 servers in you have exceeded the limit of the license you bought. The only solutions are to monitor fewer disks or to buy…

If you didn't already set up a method of tracking it then that data is not collected out of the box. I created a SAM template for specifically this use case a while back and recently uploaded it to thwack here CPU/MEM Process Snapshot I also have a custom SWQL query I use with that template on my node details pages so i…

itbrian​ Trying to do that in NCM is really a case of trying to tighten a bolt with a hammer, just not the tool for that job. NCM doesn't really even acknowledge things like interfaces, it looks at things at the config file level. You could set up a compliance report indicating which ports are shutdown administratively but…

You could do so with SQL by using a left join, but if you are using the GUI any subsections you include are inner joined and will exclude anything that doesn't exist on both tables.

This is a quick SWQL query with the list of templates, the nodes they are on, and the components in each instance of the app SELECT at.Name as [Template], at.applications.node.caption as [Node], at.Applications.Components.name as [Component] from orion.apm.ApplicationTemplate at
