Please see the following for more details: Scripts Must Report Status Through Exit Codes Scripts must report their status by exiting with the appropriate exit code. The exit code is used to report the status of the monitor, which is seen by the user through the interface. The following table explains the exit codes and…

xtraspecialj​ key thing I like to remember is that the URI's are kinda the most important thing when using the *-swisobject cmdlets, as they are basically the identifier that the tasks run

Thanks Tim for the assist: sorry Damien, first Codeplex project, still getting used to it, I'll add in a "release" with the next update.

You can try adding in another filter, based on OS Description

Hi @"monitoring_" A quick scan of the monitor section shows info can be written as Windows Events, which would probably be the easiest. A custom template using the event log monitor would be a good start, or if you want to view events over time you could also look at Log Analyzer.…

Hi Curtis, please use this example to add in SNMPv3 nodes. OrionSDK/DiscoverSnmpV3Node.ps1 at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

Hi Nick, Sorry, I missed something important in your first post. In this new code, using the foreach loop, the below would have done. $query | ForEach-Object { Remove-SwisObject $swis $query } is not the same as $query | Remove-SwisObject $swis Basically, in the original code you post the foreach loop isn't really parsing…

What versions of the Orion Modules are you running?

Hi Andrewm, you are indeed correct, the "Report Now" and "Detect Now" options in Patch Manager are in fact the /detectnow, /reportnow options on the update agent. The backend behind this is actually WMI calls from the PM server to kick off these tasks. One thing to note, in PM even after the WMI task runs (ie after it…

If you have to do a lot of interfaces, then the add-orioninterface probably isn't the fastest, you could try to discover and add interfaces instead: OrionSDK/NPM.DiscoverAndAddInterfacesOnNode.ps1 at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub Just back to your above comment though, can you * delete the itnerfaces that are added…

It looks like some of the pollers are missing. I wrapped the necessary ones in a "New-OrionNode" function, which you can call from the PowerOrion module in the SDK, that might be easier than trying to figure out the pollers, but for completeness you can see the SNMPv2 properties from that function (the defaults can be…

silly question, but is it the same user that's used everywhere? Just to make sure there are no account limitations filtering out info?

I actually did something similar before, in this case it was a WHD query exported in HTML, and then embedded in Orion, it should be easy to adapt Using PowerShell to Create HTML that can be viewed in Orion

Once you have the accounts created, you then need to add those to a "credential ring", and use the credential ring wizard to link the relevant rights to the objects they should be used with

When you select a particular node within the Patch Manager MMC, how does that report updates? You can group updates to show approvals. As stcain​ says, unapproved updates are not filtered in that particular view.

Hi matrook​, you will need to download and install the SDK from Github. That includes the snapin with the relevant cmdlets that will be used.

Odd, double-quotes should work as well, there's no real difference in PowerShell (apart from that variables called within double-quotes get expanded). Glad it helped anyway!

Is the user a member of the WSUS Administrators group on the WSUS server?

When you say "without that final line ", what final line is that? Did you include an exit ?

A short tutorial on using the Network Atlas is available at Orion Network Atlas: SolarWinds Training - Network Performance Monitor - YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qIKMt-mY2Q&list=PLSAG2TJPvS5Y1nq9rtjcLeP1sfzpZIi8q&index=10. What product are you using to poll the PDU, NPM?

Also, check the classifications that the WSUS is set to sync for, I believe those 1909 are marked as an "upgrade", not a security or critical update. 

Also, SCM has PowerShell abilites, you could could use that to track changes over time https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/SCM/Content/Release_Notes/scm_1-2_release_notes.htm

Hi Chris, just looking into this, I can't reproduce on my system. Can you run the command with -verbose and -debug parameters if possible for more info? Also can you run the following (edit the IP accordingly), just to see if these are working correctly, since this cmdlet gets called by the main one. Get-OrionNodeID -all…

Thanks dan.cazacu​! The easiest thing to do is to just store the connect-swis output in a variable ($swis is what most people go for), as essentially all of the module cmdlets will use it as a parameter. The output above isn't actually an error, but since it's not being passed to any individual cmdlet it's not really doing…

Hi rfiscus@cpsenergy.com​, unfortunately it's not something I have seen working in 2.1.3. Even if it does finally install the API versions for WSUS are different, so publishing updates will fail.

Ultimately it's worth understanding that Patch Manager relies on WSUS to do all the heavy lifting, essentially you can thing of SPM as just being in addition to (rather than replacing) WSUS. In order to understand why updates aren't showing as needed (assuming they've been approved) it's worth looking at the approved…

Hey @"pmaldonato" , Do they show in the native WSUS MMC? What build of SPM are you running? What version of WSUS?

Hey @"apperrault_oclc" , there are basically 2 parts: * add in the SUP as a standard WSUS server * add in the site server under the SCCM area. That basically gives you the ability to view the collections etc. Bonus feature: if you install the SPM console on a machine that already has the SCCM console, it will add in a "3rd…
