Try it without the carot at the front? I think (and the key word is think, I'm no great shakes at RegEx) that the carot refers to a newline code, and since there isn't a new line with it being the start of the config file, it may be looking for a new line to come before the words. Let me know if that works. Beyond that I'm…

Thank you for this. I was about to go down a whole bad path of UnDPs and did not consider Traps.

Just as a note, as the person who originally made the flash cards for the ARM exam, those alone aren't (yet!) enough to pass the exam, as I learned those cards backwards and forwards and still only managed a 60%. I'll be helping get those up to scratch as I study for my retake.Thanks @"mrxinu" for putting these together!

seannestor​ I had installed this with either 11.5.2 or 11.5.3 before leaving, I believe- have you upgraded to 12 yet? If so, can you verify if this is still working for you guys?

I no longer have access to the environment in which I got these maps working- new job (still Solarwinds though, yay!) so I can't exactly troubleshoot your error directly, my apologies. I can, however, tell you that as of 11.5 it was still working on that deployment when I left.

Did you try clearing your browser cache? I never had that issue, any node I added (same coordinates as another or a new site) showed up right where I'd expect.

While I agree with Richard Letts- you should use the features built in to the newer versions of NPM for this- if you do still wish to use the Google Maps version, you can start by signing up for a Google Maps API key here Sign Up for the Google Maps API | Google Maps APIs | Google Developers. From there you plug the key…

DM me your email address and I will send you a zip of the 4 files I have. On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 3:53 PM, KiNGPiN <

My map is entirely dynamic the way it's laid out- as long as the node has a latitude and longitude setup, it shows up as a Site on the map. If you'd like, i can send you the files I have for our map setup and you can repurpose them. They even have weather which can just be fantastically useful.

You could try to put in a custom property for latitude and longitude of each site and map each address based on that. that's how I got my map working. I used a Google Map background and planted dots on the map that, when clicked, would show all the nodes at that LatLong. Maybe try working from that idea?

I was really hoping it would be something stupidly easy to fix like that, but alas, no dice. I tried it by going to the direct link as you pasted it, and hard coding it in the code, and neither worked. Any other suggestions?

I would call it whitespace, yes - an example Site ID would be "1001 - Toledo Hospital" which doesn't have quotes around it normally. Could that be the issue?

From what I can tell (and I confess I'm no JavaScript guru) I have changed all the parts that make sense to me to change in those two areas. i'm sure there's something small I'm just not seeing.

So I edited all of the files and got my map working, and it looks great! I do have one issue, though. Instead of setting it up by City, since we have a lot of sites within a City, I gave each node a long/lat based on the site address for which it belongs. So, I sort of repurposed the queries and code to have dots show up…

I ended up removing the auto-refresh in favor of a "refresh the map" button so I can refresh it easily but not worry about it refreshing itself when i'm zoomed in, or worse- drilling down to see why all my dots aren't green.

Just add this before the iframe tag on your HTML resource that displays the map. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60" >. That will refresh it every minute, and you can change the value to what you like. Hope that helps!

I would be interested to know exactly how you went about doing this.

I wish I could like this about 8 times. I'd love to have a super-limited "free" license of at least like NPM and SAM (or preferably the whole suite) that never expired but you could at least use it to test against less-important hardware and such. They've had a feature request out there forever but it doesn't seem to get…

Typically you'd just place it somewhere on the same drive as the SolarWinds install, not a lot else needs to be done. It can be on other drives too, it just needs to be stored locally on the SolarWinds poller. What is not working about it currently? Any error messages? Nathan Hejnicki Loop1 Systems

Most of the time I would end up creating a custom SWQL query and putting that on a dashboard instead. Same path for alerts and reports, I just find it easier to write things in SWQL if I can't make the normal resources behave properly. Nathan Hejnicki Loop1 Systems

There is a tool that SW has called Alert Central that handles on-call resources such as the way you've mentioned it. It is a free download. I say that not because I recommend it- quite the opposite as it hasn't seen some much-needed attention in years and doesn't show any signs of that happening, plus the tool is very…

Good question. Unfortunately this one was for a client that I was on-site with until about 2 hours ago. Still, it will help to know what to check in the future, thanks!

This is a tough one to answer but I'll do my best. I spent 3 years in a medium-large health organization where my main task was the monitoring environment, which was SolarWinds for the last 1.5 years. As far as my training, I have a Bachelor's in general IT, about CCENT (Maaaybe CCNA) level networking knowledge, and what I…

I am going to say probably not, but it depends on what you're actually looking for with metrics. Google Analytics, as I understand it, helps you determine things like ROI for your various elements your pages by tracking where people click, what lead users to continue using the site versus leaving the site, things like…

So I'll start by saying I'm only starting to learn EC2 and that I don't have a direct answer to your question, but crawling the forums on here lead me to a previous post that may or may not still be relevant- it's 4 years old so someone with more expertise may come correct what it mentions - Cloud Cost EC2 Algorithm Nathan…

Try using Status <> 9 in the same place. There should also be filter examples in there where it should show the usage of the Filter (SQL) text box. Nathan Hejnicki Loop1 Systems

I don't believe this is currently possible, but this would make a heck of a feature request.

As d09h said, you need to be an Orion Administrator to see the Settings link. Someone with Admin rights will need to edit your account and make you one, and that should clear it up. Nathan Hejnicki Loop1 Systems

You'll want to make sure the SNMP community on the device is the one you're using to discover the device in NPM. You'll also want to verify that SNMP is not blocked anywhere on your network between Orion and the device.

If you're asking how many components you can monitor with ALX, there is no limit outside the limitations of your hardware- looking at Polling Engines under Settings will tell you how taxed your polling engines are, and as long as those numbers look healthy, there is no real set limit to the number of components for a SAM…
