Hi Ronen, We use Storage Manager and I have requested a feature request to add this here. The software already picks up the status of the sensors, all is needed is for STM to fire off a trap which you can then use Oron to capture and alert on it. To pickup the status of our FC switches in NPM we also use SAM and have an…

Admin user should be as the name describes, admin... or god.

Quest Foglight for Storage Management have just added support for this!!! What are you waiting for? I want to have another reason to get rid of our Quest Foglight software in favour of Solarwinds... Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition Product Notification

Also it would be good to be able to have disk failure threshold support for the Storwize controllers.

Hi, I was also wanting to do this too, we have a separate volume for the Windows Page File, so I wanted to exclude checking these volumes. I don't know what search criteria I need to use to do this. Thanks Paul

Hi Balki, Unfortunately NPM does not provide hardware health monitoring for my Brocade FC switches like it does for Cisco devices. Currently I use a SAM application template to monitor the senors by SNMP. I have noticed in another feature request for NPM, someone is asking for hardware health monitoring for FC switches,…

Thanks for the info. I do still have the issue, although some information from the WSUS server was coming through...sometimes. No computer update information was being displayed at all. So my issue is not the port but due to something else in my environment. At the time 2023.1 MMC download was not available, but now I see…

This is a bug with 2022.4 and was fixed in 2023.1 Case number 01185449 An error message no longer displays when you access Patch Manager from a Microsoft Windows server or an integrated connection with the SolarWinds Platform server.

Correction unsecured port is 54092

Hi, You can use a domain account (use a dedicated service account e.g. domain\SWDBUser) for Orion SQL user. Create the account in the domain, then add it into SQL and provide it with SysAdmin rights so that during the installation it will be able to create the databases. Regards Paul

Hi, We upgraded from 2020.2.6 to 2023.1.0 RC 1 and have had a few issues. When I un-manage an application it fails with an error. The un-manage works, but does not log an event. The re-manage works without error. We also use Patch Manager and upgraded it to the latest 2022.4 build, now the Orion integration does not work.…

Hi and thank you for your detailed response. You are obviously more competent than I. I managed to do what I was trying to do, create a report of software installed on all machines using data from Orion asset inventory using the query above. I just needed to edit the table and add columns...doh. I am new again to Orion…

Looks great...but what if I don't need to use the WHERE statement to filter results and simply want to show all my software installed grouped by system? How does one do that...sorry in advance if this is a stupid question.

Looks like it's been documented! Deploy an agent with Patch Manager (solarwinds.com)

To remove my agents I used the following PowerShell script. I found the switches for the WMI provider on another Thwack post. The alternative was to allow tcp 135 (rpc) and tcp 445 (smb) to all my agents from the PM server. As we have strict firewall policies in place I was not prepared to do this. If you don't then you…

SolarWinds support have sent me this link https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/patchman/Content/Release_Notes/patchman_2020-2-5_release_notes.htm

I would also like this information too please.

This also recently became a problem for us due to the number of exclusive updates coming through with the later Windows versions. We patch 1 month behind the patch Tuesday, so we approve all security and critical updates 1 month old, we run a Patch Manager report that shows the updates for the month and filters only…

This fixed my issue after I enabled SSL on the Orion Web Console, reports that I scheduled would not generate, instead I received this error. Unable to retrieve url: http://VCAANM01:80/Orion/Report.aspx?ReportID=51 using PDF type.Unable to retrieve url: http://VCAANM01:80/Orion/Report.aspx?ReportID=138 using PDF type. I…

This worked for me, I copied an existing alert and had this error, when I created it from scratch my alert trigger condition was accepted!

Why does the documentation not reflect the screen shot you have provided? Is the documentation from a pre-release version? There is no mention of remote/local scripts.

Hi, Check out the post above from Rob.Hock and my reply. What you need to do is edit the Websites table on your SQL server and modify the entry there for your Orion server. If you have enabled SSL on the Orion web console web site and required SSL then you need to change this to use SSL. SSLEnabled, this should be true for…

Support offered a workaround for the above issue with existing tasks failing to run. Edit task.xml files found under C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Patch Manager\Server\scheduled\taskid The taskid is a unique folder for each task, the task id can be found on each task in scheduled tasks Edit the .xml file and replace the…

Hello, I would just like to warn anyone from upgrading to 2.1.6. There is a bug we have encountered where all of our batch tasks (all 198 of them!!) no longer run when we upgraded from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6. This has been documented in the release notes for 2.1.7 RC1 upgrade (see below). We have a support ticket open for this,…

We have many systems behind firewalls, we deployed the PM Agent on all our servers via WSUS. This only requires minimal ports to be open from the PM agent (server) to the PM server over tcp 4092.
