I found my rant I made 2 years ago.. that experience discouraged me from doing any other attempt so far... How was your SCP certification exam taking experience? I never heard back from proctoring company and lost my voucher that year... That said... I'd be happy if I was to hear that things have changed, and people made…

Thank you very much for this post... I've been raging behind my keyboard for the past hour or two, trying to have UnDP table values displayed as a real table.

I had an issue with custom (aka Studio) pollers, but if you face this, support has a quick fix handy. I have another issue in VNQM regarding RPM probes being worked at. Appart from that, my upgrade was good an easy.

Yes, SDK does not allow modifying the thresholds (at least for now)... You would need a Threshold URI to do so and all of those are null in the db. That said, I was able to modify them in batch via SQL. If no custom threshold is configured on an item, you need to insert a row into the dbo.Thresholds Database.

@"KMSigma.SWI" Running a "full version", but not the same build as yours This might be a bug....

It looks like our wish is (about to be) granted: That said, When querying any of the threshold tables, the URI column is always returned empty... Do you know what would be the format of that URI if I wanted to build it myself?

I suggest you start there: [mention:7562dde88e3442358b41bc1c39c70191:6b577b8c04704e209d29b6772bf67243] Have a great journey :)

You can leverage custom properties on Nodes, Interfaces, groups to discriminate which alarms gets triggered during a specific period. As an example, you set a "Is_Critical" boolean custom property on a node. You use this custom property in the trigger conditions of an alarm. (i.e if Is_Critical = True AND off-hours THEN…

Pagerduty would be great for that indeed. If you need something self-hosted, where the person acknowledge the alarm via a phone call, a Davicom Cortex unit could be the brain that execute that. It's really powerful and you can have multiple automation processes done. Depending on your business rules complexity, some custom…

AFAIK, SolarWinds indeed always triggers PoSh 5.x. As a workaround, you can invoke PS7 from a PS5 script. To also help, you can use the #requires statement at the beginning of your script. https://superuser.com/questions/1555730/how-to-execute-powershell-script-as-powershell-7-from-command-prompt…

Here's how to enable Hardware Health: * https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-enable-hardware-health-monitoring.htm * https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-asset-inventory-and-hardware-health-monitoring-requirements.htm

You can do both, it all come down to how your cluster is built. You can monitor both individually via the MGMT interface IP and as a cluster via the VIP. I sometimes tend to do both.

Hardware status, or Hardware Health?

a much simpler approach to SNMP would be to install the SolarWinds Agent on the PC, add it to the NPM inventory, and ensure interfaces are properly enabled for monitoring... Voilà!

On the node detail page, click on "List Resources". From there, you'll see a list of interfaces, volumes and other metrics related items, where you can pick the ones that interest you. If you simply need to remove interfaces, you can do so from the Manage Nodes page, by expanding your target node. you'll see what's…

What can be considered a "Large environment" for this to happen?

Until this is implemented, you can use something like https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/forum/92835/mib-database-distributor-and-checker Please cast your vote for this feature request:…

To add MIBs to database, you'll need to be a standing customer. See https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Add-MIBs-to-the-SolarWinds-MIB-database?language=en_US

The trial version should contain the latest version at the time they compiled the package. No need to worry then. You can disregard MIB DB related warnings. Basically, it just tell you it wasn't able to check if any new DB version exists, but you already have v. 1.3.0.50082 installed.

If it's offline, you must download the file from your Customer Portal, transfer it over to your lab server, then run the installer. You can find detailed instructions at: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-downloading-the-solarwinds-mib-database-sw3581.htm

Are you saying that you can't (or shouldn't) receive SNMPv1 or v2 trap when polling using v3? or simply that if you receive v3 Traps they should be using the same credential set as SNMPv3 polling? If it's the latter, I would understand but the first scenario is a big no-no for us, to a point where SolarWinds would not be…

as per the "Information and Warning section": The change outlined below requires you to have your Orion website running with 'Precompiledwebsitedisabled="true", which is beautifully detailed…

Here's the script I have on my end. It's slightly more complicated than yours, but has a few simple checks... It's made on 2020.2.6, so any newer release would have to change the path and most likely the $findstr & $newStr variables. # Tested on Orion 2020.2.6 #Requires -RunAsAdministrator #Set File Location: $FileLocation…

Should you want to have the hostname displayed with the original letter case, you can use "System.Net.Dns.GetHostName().ToString()" instead of "System.Environment.MachineName.ToString()". Call me OCD, but I hate when all is uppercase ;) . The nomenclature of our hostnames contains a lot of information, hence it's easier to…

see #4 in the Information and Warning section. You have to modify the file, then run config wizard before being able to see the file.

Are you installing it in a HA setup? It happened to me once, and after a while, I discovered that I was not running the install on the active engine. If so, either flap your services to the server you are working on, or run the executable on the other server.
