I was working as a maintenance supervisor when my boss started asking me if I knew anything about computers. I had stumbled through some Basic programming on a TRS80 several years before, so I agreed to take a look. He was trying to run some Lotus 123 reports, and could not get the logic right, which somehow I was able to…

If you create inbox rules for your monitoring system, then you’ve already lost.... I have been fighting this issue for years, and trying to get my hands on the fools flooding my inbox. I no longer feel so alone.

Could not take the survey August Mission Accomplished This site can’t be reachedThe connection was reset. Try: * Checking the connection * Checking the proxy and the firewall * Running Windows Network Diagnostics ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

Glad to be able to contribute.

I still cannot believe "Correlate issues you didn’t even know you had" is not a correct answer. Ok, I do believe it, and second guessing myself cost me the day/

Don't reinvent the wheel. If you have access to working scripts, by all means look at them. 1. These scripts work in your environment, which removes a lot of questions. 2. Breaking down other peoples scripts is a great way to learn, as opposed to simply Googling and trying to figure out how to work with items in your…

Thanks Danielle. Looks like it may be due to IT Security shenanigans Tried getting to the main site SurveyGizmo | Enterprise Online Survey Software & Tools and I am getting a blocked site notification.

All Done!

Jonathan, just wanted you to know that worked. I had changed the Container timeout values to 3 minutes, and was unsuccessful. Setting the values exactly as you listed worked like a charm.

I tried bumping SWIS timeouts with no success

I figured it out...TemplateGroupAssignment I was able to insert TemplateID and Destination Group ID, along with the other table entries, successfully. I group names SM plue the Application Template name, and used this query Select C.ContainerID As GroupID, T1.TempID As TemplateID, -3 as AgentWmiCredentialsID, -4 as…

I had a similar issue, with a very remote polling engine. I have to increase the timeouts. This is an old article, but worked for me support.solarwinds.com/.../Adjusting-the-SWIS-execution-timer

After confirming DNS resolution, and ensuring the ports were open on the firewall between all devices, I still had an issue migrating SW Agents from one poller to another. What I did find was the polling engines in a different geographic location from the main poller, though close to each other, still had the same issue.…

You need to add a TimeStamp from Application History

This article refers to an 80% packet loss, but may still have some helpful suggestions. https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Incorrect-80-packet-loss-statistics-returned-by-Connection-Quality-polling-in-SAM?language=en_US

I needed the same today SQL https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Documents/Windows-Event-Log-Report/ta-p/537331 SWQL https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Documents/Windows-Event-Logs-Report/ta-p/527625 A little tweaking, and you can assign which event to report on

First, create a query that will list all of the servers that should have the software. Then create a query something like this Select NodeID from Nodes where (parameters that list all nodes where software should be installed-) and NodeID not in ( Select NodeID From (query that shows the nodes with the installed software) )

Actually, SSO login just started working after I performed the update to 2019.4.1 over the New Years break. I was still getting the "Inresponseto" errors, and could never test in my original environment. When I saw the same error in my new environment, I knew I must be missing something. Turns out that my provider never…

It turns out that ForgeRock was not providing me with the correct information for SSO Target URL Instead of a URL with "idpSSOInit" that redirected back to Orion I needed a URL "SSOPOST" to the IDP. Did not work - SSO Target URL:…

@"serena" We are in the process of deploying a second SolarWinds environment. Once again with ForgeRock OpenAM, I am getting the error. The SAML message doesn't contain an InResponseTo attribute. I am also going to be installing an Additional Web Server in this environment, so if any progress has been made regarding…

After the upgrade to WPM, SAM: 2019.4.1 | Orion Platform HF2: 2019.4, I decided to test SAML, and much to my surprise, it worked. SAML logging still shows the error when no user account exists, but I have 7 users who are now able to log in with SSO.

We did not manually populate the black list table, but it did contain all of the nodes I was having an issue with

Thank you, Serena I am bouncing this back to our support team. I want to keep this thread open until I find a resolution.

I remember when I first attempted to add nodes to a group, I would get 0 nodes.

Support had me perform the following... 1. Stop Orion services 2. Make sure you have database backup 3. Execute on the Orion dababase: DELETE FROM APM_TemplateGroupAssignmentsBlacklist 4. Start Orion services 5. Wait up to 15 minutes - test now the Group Assignment 6. In case Group Assignment is still not there - try…

Serena, Part of my original issue was a request as to what fields SolarWinds considers as "required". This is the information my team was asking for in an attempt to match things up in ForgeRock. I am not sure if a feature quest is needed for this or not.

SELECT Nodes.Uri, Nodes.DisplayName FROM Orion.Nodes AS Nodes JOIN ( SELECT Nodeid,Name,State,StartedAt,GetUtcDate() as date, MinuteDiff(StartedAt, GetUtcDate()) as mydiff FROM Cortex.Orion.Cman.Container CC Join Orion.NodesCustomProperties CP on CP.NodeId = CC.NodeID where Name like '%ns-dc%' and Name not like '%POD%' and…

I have to alert one one of the containers which is "running" disappears. The "exited takes that container's TimeCreated stamp. I am working on a query that will list all the containers that I need to alert on, and then find a container where nothing is in 'running" state. Great ideas. I will be sure to post my success, as…

Maybe this will help you to develop relationships within your organization with those who do have the ability and access.
