as long as they don't need to be run "simultaneously", BATCH would work. Also, you might be able to create individual jobs in NCM, then create a Job or batch file to run all those jobs (see the execute statement within the task/job). each individual job can be scheduled at a given time, but if you want to do it within…

happy to help...that's part of what makes Thwack awesome! Glad you found it useful

You *could* create an alert that triggers when a node is added that populates the custom property...depending on what you are trying to do and the logic/values to populate with. you mentioned one CP causing another to update, that could be an escalation trigger action. Personally, I have a SQL "housekeeping" job that runs…

2 possibilities off top of my head: 1. check your background - if visio based, save image to size of objects so there is very little white space around the read pic. 2. on your map view, you can set the width of the column the map is displayed in. If needed, you would create separate views for different maps of varying…

I also see something like this...Get events indicating name change (sometimes, its just adding a second "-")..very strange.

I'm not totally familiar with this type of query, but I think it has to be: ${SQL:Select VIM_VCenters.ManagedStatusMessage from VIM_VCenters where VIM_VCenters.NodeID = ${NodeID}} This allows it to "translate" the NodeID I believe.

admin -> manage node -> select device and expand. all of the "OLD" interfaces that are no longer there will show up here and you can select and delete them.

I ran into this as well and opened a ticket. If you are running 2008 server, you have to turn off UAC (user account control). go into control panel and select user accounts. select "turn user account control on or off".

it follows the same rule -> Transient -> Available. This is beneficial for things like maintenance windows or if a server crashes and has to be rebuilt, but you plan on using the same IP/name. One Use Case: Some of our applications have multiple boxes doing the same functionality. Thus one could be taken off-line for a…

Ok, so I just ran into the dreaded... But, I jumped the gun and tried to run wizards on other systems before the main engine finished. Once I let it finish the optimization and permissions checking, I started all of the rest (8) of them with no problem; in parallel.

...my understanding and mode of operation...as long as the primary engine is done, you can run multiple instances of additional * (including wizards) at the same time after I think 11.0 maybe? I have 4 of addt'l web and poll and run them all concurrently after main done.

Not sure if I understand what you are asking (maybe a screenshot would help clarify), but if you are talking about the URL when you click on a device and see details where then end looks like "NetObject=N:122" Then the 122 is the NodeID field in the Nodes table. so your query would look like "select NodeID from Nodes"

Deltona​, did that work for you? if not PM or LMK and I'll take a look...been a while so have to refresh

I've recently spent a lot of time and effort on this, even consulting with Atlantic Digital, Inc., and Solarwinds directly. the outcome is we are focusing on the SAN and the Data Stores presented to the DB Server. I was able to initially noticeably increase my web performance by moving to 4 SSDs (purchased at Fry's - so…

challenge is tying the info together if in separate tables...do you have a DB table with the circuit IDs in them. Ideally, if you have them as a custom property in SW, its fairly easy. let me know where that info resides. you have to have some UNIQUE field like nodeID or IP Address in each table if in separate so when the…

You've already got #1. I'd stick w/ DB #2 but swap 3 and 4 based on what you said you want to accomplish with API (language is personal preference, though perhaps you could knock out some of 4 with 3 if you went powershell). 2. DB 3. Scripting 4. MS Server.

This is when NCM DB was separate from NPM...I had a SQL Agent Job to move date between DBs and tables. NCM IP Addresses / Subnet Masks to NPM DB - interfaces table it would be similar but you wouldn't need the <DB>.dbo. part. just table names and joins

 Very elegant way of testing many aspects of the system! I love it. Thanks much for sharing.

I'd either make sure your "Alert Evaluation Frequency" on General Tab of alert is less than 10 minutes so you know it will poll DB for alerting in that 10 minute window (I'd probably make 4 min to ensure)...also make sure component check is every 5 minutes lets say. if you don't want to poll that much, extend your time…

Agreed!!! we would also find this VERY handy.

if this is a new install and importing DBs, you will have to create the SolarWindsNPM user and PW in the new DB environment, and set permissions properly. I ran into this as well when I did my migration. Hope that helps.

it may be that the SMTP server is set up to only send internal. try getting with the person who runs the SMTP server...that's the only thing I can think of...

I have not seen issues, but have not been looking. How loaded is your polling engine(s)? How often are you collecting statistics and polling for status?

typically, when I see these, I shutdown all services and run the install for that piece again - repair. I then watch the install closely and if at any point it tries to shutdown NPM or Netflow, I have task manager open and I end task for those two. This usually allows for a successful install and fixes the web issues.

Submitted Feature Request for "NOT CONTAINS" if interested: FR - NPM GROUP DYNAMIC QUERY - CREATE OR ALLOW "NOT CONTAINS"

I also think this is a large gap in functionality (along with unmanaging an interface). I would love to see these features in the near future.

Its called "Orion Upgrade Buddy Tool" and comes with the NPM Install. Documentation is included in the folder.

Glad to be able to help. mesverrum and I chat offline and they brought up a great point about the links.... If you are going to use the report/resource within the website only, it is best practice to use a relative link like <a href="Orion/SummaryView.aspx?ViewID=2">. I do this when it is not a report that will be mailed…

yes, yes...you can do this, but you can do it without that specific setting when using custom sql....not sure about swql but I suspect yes as well. I think you can only use detailsURL when using single object type like Nodes report or blah..blah.. to do this in SQL you need to build the link..as below using detailsURL…
