The discovery profiles are sitting in the SQL database and are not available using the API / SWQL. This would definitely be a plus to have. To view the profiles, you can query the DiscoveryProfiles table of your Orion database. In a column called PluginConfiguration, you should have XML data with the profile settings. Once…

Yes, If it's only for a proof of concept, you can run everything on one server/VM. You can even use SQL Express if you are not concerned about performance and storing lot's of data (https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/SQL-server-limitations?language=en_US ). You can even install on a desktop operating…

You can refer to this page: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/migrate_solarwinds_to_a_new_server_using_the_same_ip_and_hostname.htm It should be feasible and an easy way if your MPE is running in a VM and you don't have much customization. Keep in mind that if your main server is…

if you go locally on your server, using http://localhost/ what do you get as the result?

You would need to go to the Report admin section of Orion (hostname/Orion/Reports/Default.aspx) and then click on "Export/Import", then "Import" and then specify the file you downloaded from the referenced post.

If you have a ton to remove, or if it will be a recurring thing, you could try to adapt the following script to remove those disks: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk/90921/powershell-script-to-cleanup-volumes-inventory In the example, I am removing all unwanted volumes based on…

It may take a few business days, but I suggest you email certification@solarwinds.com if you don't get your official result anytime soon.

In our case, routing neighbors are identified as an External Node. You can place the definition in the External Node Name, and it will show up in the alert. It's a manual process, but it has been proven helpful.

Thanks!

Not only the upgrade though... The SolarWinds portfolio expanded considerably in the last few years (i.e. Loggly, sentryOne, Papertrail, Pingdom, just to name those). Pertinent content (to the user) gets flooded. THWACK does not present content based on the product you own or your interests. In my case, I have no WHD, but…

Sorry to hear about this. Have you tried to emailing certification@solarwinds.com?

I'll do my best to not deceive you ;)

Thanks @"Seashore" for jumping in ;) I was still sleeping It's nice to have people around the globe that can help each other!

I should be able to get you the first 5 ;) Regarding temperature, is that something you poll via UnDP or would it be from Hardware Health?

Thanks for looking into this! Much appreciated! :) The custom property BMR_Eng_Number exists for both groups and nodes. Sorry, that was not obvious in my description. So, all my nodes have a mandatory BMR_Eng_Number custom property filled with one of those location codes. When I create the group, it gets the Name,…

Dont be sorry, I love those Livecasts. In fact, the last one using the Orion Alerting Engine as an automation was an eye opening for me. I will probably move some of my group & custom properties cleanup task to the alerting engine instead of trying to maintain those script/cron jobs.

@"KMSigma.SWI", Have you had the chance to try it in your lab? Should I open a ticket on this or the chance of being told "API use is not supported" is too high?

Unfortunately, there is not much flexibility that you can apply there... Orion does not provide granular rules for custom properties. A way around that would be to make the Purchase Date field non-mandatory, and have a custom table on a page showing Non-VM nodes without a date... Another way would be to keep the Purchase…

When you create a node custom property, a field will be available for each node, but it does not means it has to be filled. If by "that only shows on certain nodes" you mean that it will show on your node detail page, only populated field should show.

Here's what I use on my Orion sumary... Simply create a new Custom ressource and use the following custom SWQL Query: -- REF: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/33940/muted-nodes-resource/113375#113375 SELECT DISTINCT CASE WHEN [EntityUri] LIKE…

Good luck!

Unfortunately, you cannot export anything from MIB DB. At most, you would only be able to check if MIB OID is present in the database. Your best approach is to contact the vendor.. or sometime, look in the admin interface for a download link...

I had to anonymize the output, but it is representing what I got doing $GroupsToCreate | Export-Csv[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/45/GroupsToCreate.csv:640:480] Thanks for looking into it, it is much appreciated!

I was unable to pre-stage from the standby MPE. I was getting the following error: doing it from the Active was ok, and I was able to pre-stage and start the install..

When using HA, starting the Centralized Upgrade on an Active server is mandatory or running it on a standby should have suffice?

@"apap" is not alone.. I had the same error message, while trying to install the HF on an MPE: All my modules ( NCM, NPM, NTA, SAM & UDT) are running 2020.2.6, from the same installer (isolated network, it would have been a pain to get a different build for that... I then realized that the MPE I was trying to start the…

Can you explain a bit more about the syslog and trap services issues?

Here's a post I made regarding batch deletion of volumes where I had to leverage the un-manage capabilities to ensure a proper status reset: PowerShell Script to cleanup Volumes inventory - Orion SDK - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com) I believe this should be easily adaptable to remove those linux mounts by…
