I'd love to know this as well.

Hello ">aLTeReGo, I'm feeling somewhat dense, but once in the Web Based Report Writer where can I dig into to find this information?

That certainly got me closer, but I've hit another hurdle. After your suggested change I was able to add the newly int-converted Status column as the Y-axis data series. I then clicked "More" for that data series and selected "DateTime" for the time column. Finally, I added "AP Name" for the Object ID column since there…

This is pretty spot on. I did find that if I utilize all four fields, I can still use the regular expression method I originally intended. That said, results always show up regardless of this filter within the discovery results. However, I found that when I go to actually import them they are not selected. This problem as…

Even after changing it to how you showed, I'm still getting no change and it's still showing those interfaces in the results. For example, here is the criteria I just ran (and as an edit here, I also added "Interface Alias" to this list): Here is (some of) the results: I feel like either I continue to misunderstand that…

There is, or at least was. The monitored node is a Cisco 3850 switch, but there is a known issue with them that they report their temperatures incorrectly. When monitored via Hardware Health Management these temperatures (six in total) are the only metrics reported. When I added the node I absentmindedly also enabled HHM,…

I may have settled on a best of both worlds. This still falls under a "this isn't entirely supported by SolarWinds" model, but it seems to work with no issue. What I've done and am currently testing is (in a nutshell) using PowerShell to invoke the SDK using credentials added to Orion. Then, the script follows up, and runs…

If I unmanage a node using the Invoke-SwisVerb PowerShell cmdlet of the Orion SDK wouldn't the user account I use need administrative access assigned in Orion? If so, this method doesn't really help me. I need a way for users to manage/unmanage nodes who aren't admins in Orion, and instead must pass a custom security check…

I'll still post a screenshot, but upon further digging I might have got some misinformation. Apparently Orion is properly creating an event on the service status, but that event doesn't match any alert chains. Thus, I think my problem is more that none of my alert categories (stock or otherwise) are alerting on if a…

Unfortunately I am still getting the same error; "A query to the SolarWinds Information Service failed". Here is my updated SWQL query: SELECT tolocal(AStat.TriggerTimeStamp) AS [Time of Alert], AStat.ObjectName AS [Alert], ADefs.Name AS [Category], tolocal(AStat.AcknowledgedTime) AS [Acked Time], AStat.AcknowledgedBy AS…

Also, please let me know if anyone has any issues working with or some constructive criticism with this script. It has worked great in our usage, but I welcome any input as to making it better or to adapt it to use cases that we aren't affected by. Or just that it works great and helped someone

This is fantastic, thank you.

In case anyone else is curious, this code still works properly in NPM 11.0.1. I mean, I figured it would, but hey.

Is the problem you are having anything like the one I had? (Add “Search for Nodes" element in every Solarwinds Webpages header with ‘hit’ Enter enabled) If so, the ensuing comment chain has the solution.

After using this tweak in production for quite a few weeks now, this has to be my favorite one on Thwack so far. It works absolutely fantastically, and the ability to search by an IP address (or just one octet thereof) is making life just a bit easier.

Hmm, When I try to do that, the Search button becomes completely unresponsive. My code looks like: window.open('/Orion/NetPerfMon/Resources/NodeSearchResults-NICO.aspx?'+'Property='+propertyStr+'&SearchText='+searchStr,_self) I've also tried putting in a space between the added comma and _self, but it has the same effect.…

Did you by chance already go down the rabbit hole of trying to add the Unmanage functionality to that list? I am trying to that end, but since the unmanage window is a sort of pop up window while on the Node Details page it doesn't work the same way, and am unsure if adding it like the other options is even possible.

This is a fantastic idea, thank you for sharing. A lot of the time I find we search for nodes just to do some of these things, and that's one less step that is needed.

Bingo! I made a new directory named "Controls_Originals" one directory up and put my originals backups in there. Didn't need to restart services; the first load took a bit for csc.exe to do its thing and then it worked as expected. Thanks for the insight. As a small thought, how would I change it so that instead of opening…

When using the downloaded PageHeader.ascx in our 10.7 environment it causes the page (and all pages) to draw completely blank, and causes the following error in the OrionWeb log: 2014-04-14 13:05:51,987 [11] ERROR ASP.global_asax - Application_Error: Inner exception System.Web.HttpCompileException (0x80004005):…

Sorry for the delay, I was ill on Tuesday. My assumption could be incorrect on if the Orion SDK supports ToLocal (and I'd imagine you know better than I). When I try that query in my SWQL Studio I get an error that states: "The communication object,…

Oh, excellent! The toLocal() function doesn't seem to work in the current version of the SDK (as you mentioned) but it certainly does in NPM 10.6 for the purposes of an actual report. Do you know if there is a list of the current SWQL functions available within NPM? I am only aware of the list in the SDK's documentation,…

wluther Thanks! I'd worked on this for some time before posting it, and its not quite as polished as it could be, but its at least a means to an oft-requested end. That, and with any luck SolarWinds will put additional effort into making such a solution built into their product rather than relying on their customers to…

We played with it a little bit in testing, but it is (ironically?) too limiting. If a user (or the group a user is in) is affected by account limitations they lose view rights on everything else. In our case we want people to still be able to view other nodes (especially as seen from the network maps).

That certainly got me further, thank you. I am still having issues though, as now I am just having my query fail for (as of yet) unknown reasons. I made a new thread at Help on getting HTML links into a Custom Query so as to not hijack the comments section of this one. EDIT: Resolved my issue. I was essentially having a…

Is it possible to do something similiar for the alerts? The problem I am facing is all alerts use the same column for their associated ID, though that ID might pertain to a node ID, volume ID, etc. To account for these there is also a column in the alerts table that specifies what type it is. However, to put it all into…

After digging through Thwack, trying a handful of different ways, and generally lamenting my inability to figure it all out tdanner was able to show me the light. Ultimately it would seem the best way to structure the array is via this method that he provided.

I feel awfully obligated to help out on this one For clarity's sake, did you enable the other two UnDPs for supplies polling in addition to the SuppliesPercentage one? These two in question would be the SuppliesLevel and SuppliesMaxCapacity UnDPs. All three are needed for it to work, as the third UnDP piggybacks onto the…

Ultimately I have no idea what was up with this machine. Despite both being made on the same hardware from the same build, we ended up replacing the problematic machine with a new one. The new machine had the same image but new hardware, and worked. I have no idea what the actual cause was but all is well now.

I agree with newkidd2; I think that is just used as a placeholder value in any place that requires a timestamp in the database that hasn't gotten "real" data yet.
