Which UPS vendor are you using? If its supported by SolarWinds their are some nice table dashboards floating around

What end result are you trying to achieve? What is the use case?

are you using 'Windows Account Login' via settings > web console settings (automatic logins)?

Not sure on the log but is there a duplicate account in Orion.Accounts?

Sorry I missed the two groups thing, is it the same user account in both groups? There is an ordering/weight system for this, the highest level group wins for permissions.

Are you using AD/LDAP/SAML? If the user exists more than once (ex: I have a user change that went from view only to an admin group), you will have to delete the user from the database to get it to work.

Wish I could find the last post on this it had a lot of good discussion. Interfaces exist as their own entity, there is not a relation between a sub/virtual interface and its parent. SNMP tracks the usage independently. These counters can be reset independently as well. If these are in a truck or other aggregation it can…

I'v posted a few times but some variables will not be available in all contexts. Using the SWIS/SWQL studio as a frame of reference, the deeper tables can link up to the higher ones to see most of their variables, but none/fewer will be available from a higher level table to lower level one. It's super difficult to find me…

Looks like a duplicate post over here with some replies: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/report-lab/99876/report-containing-alert-name-and-node-associated-to-that-alert/313907#313907

There is not a relation between alerts and nodes like many (most?) monitoring tools. There is also a defect about the 'all alerts this object can trigger' that is not showing all alerts. Your best bet is to write a query/report that will tell you all alerts that node has triggered at least once (from the alert history).

I did something similar, or have a custom property with a link to a KB article.

you can use the advanced query at the bottom to setup a count (or use sub select in the WHERE clause) URI is the unique identifier for the nodes/objects.

Can you share?

Bunch of content on the 'Modern Dashboards' forum, and these can all be easily imported

Can you put the nodes in the group (as site groups) then depend it on the interface?

The whitelist should have what you need. Do you also have an egress firewall and or web proxy you need to whitelist? Especially for 'https://downloads.solarwinds.com' you need to allow the VIP/DNS record, not just an IP. Also make sure your firewall vendor does not do a one time lookup of the DNS record when it generates…

This is how I track mine

It is a lot of front work, and I feel you coming from 200+ sites . Once its setup its great and makes your alerting better (and some cool dashboarding possibilities) There is an API for it if you are handy or have a developer that you can extort a favor from.

Whats your escalation chain logic? Are any timers involved? If not have you had any reboots of the SQL server (and/or cluster failover)?

I am not a fan of groups in SolarWinds and avoid them at all costs. The alert engine is fairly limited in what it can do with them, and there are not many links in and out of groups to the other tables. I would cover this with a dependency. That way when the group is up, alerts will trigger as normal (your individual…

I am able to monitor RHEL 9, but we go the agentless route.

'Allow Administrator Rights' gives "Accounts with Admin rights can Add and Edit other Accounts and reset passwords.". Try disabling that and see if it fits your use case.

Alerting and monitoring are completely decoupled. The alert engine will not enforce new polling intervals to match the alerts configuration. The alert engine (for lack of a better phrase and to keep this short) just SQL queries on a timer against the collected data for matches.

SNMP to the linux OS for agentless is my to go. There is also a linux agent. You can additionally monitor the DRAC/IPMI for hardware metrics (via SNMP). I am not as up to date with Dell these days but most Dell and HP have a binary you can install to the OS that pull pull in the IPMI metrics to the OS and SolarWinds will…

There are 3 major timers to be mindful of. Polling interval (every 10 minutes you get a snapshot in time of CPU at that exact second) Evaluation interval (How often the alert with query data) Condition must exist for: (how long the condition must return true for during the evaluation window (note, it must return true for…

When it comes to RabbitMQ you should open a case with support. Even if you purge/empty it the underlying condition needs to be fixed.

There are some wonderful SAM templates for SolarWinds that are there out of the box .

Also being impacted by this now, despite my account being excluded from timeouts (Disable Session Timeout = yes) :/

Would highly recommend a dedicated host/instance if you can swing it. SW is read/write heavy.
