cobrien​, now that 12.0.1 is out and making us happy, can we have this list refreshed? There's stuff that can be checked off the list

A Q-in-Q setup could be used as a cheap way to extend your LAN and is supported by all major players IEEE 802.1ad - Wikipedia

Cannot agree more. Solarwinds is not complete without proper trap & syslog management. Telcos have to rely on different systems to complement it

cobrien​: Any chance of adding in your Unmanage behavior improvements? Pretty please!

You can download a SQL express version from Microsoft website and configure it for your needs until you migrate to your full blown SQL server(s).

Can't wait to hear more about: * Faster and web based simplified product upgrades and installation of hot fixes * Integrated High Availability Engine Hopefully, for the first item, a sanity check will be in place in order that all pollers or aditional web servers are running the same binaries and same hotfixes...

What's next?

My pleasure! Glad it helped

Is there a newer version of this document? It is dated from 2008 and still talks about Cirrus... Would be great to get better examples from an updated document, using the same information that we find in NPM 10.4...

Since the upgrade to 10.7, all accents typed in are saved differently than prior the upgrade. It seems the UTF-8 Format is not respected The "é" represents an "é" that was typed in. French words and address contains a few accents that we have to preserve. Am I the only one having this issue?

Can't wait for the next "What we're working on"

For the sysadmins that do not like to code (me), here's another option: https://www.edge-cloud.net/2013/05/rancidtrac-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/

If you can provide your Sharepoint site with access to your SolarWinds SQL database, you could extract that information straight from the SolarWinds tables via a SQL query and display that in a Sharepoint webpart . (ie: Display business data on a SharePoint site)

I think that's exactly what I was looking for I will test that next week I will then be able to make sure our Static DNS server is right all the time Thank you!

I hope that Network Sonar Discovery & Worldmaps will be reworked ... Pretty Pleaseeeeeeeee!

Have a look at www.slideshare.net, with a quick search, you'll be able to find many presentations. You wont be able to download most of them, but you can be inspired from those

IMO, this tool should be either provided NC to NPM Users, as a tool to support their evergrowing environment, or be bundled with other tools like Dameware, NTM or DNS Stuff (ie: DNS request & checks straight from that interface.) It should become a one stop shop for any engineer, not just another tool we have to beg our…

This seems to be fixed in 11.5RC... I was able to select which MIB I wanted the data to be interpreted upon, and voila!

I have transfered that request as a Feature request (http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2267) since I got confirmed this is not possible to do as of 10.5

Is there a way to force the zoom level to something specific? (ie: load 25 hours worth of data but have automagically the 24hr zoom level)?

I like the idea behind this setup gotta think outside of the box! For the devices being monitored in those buildings, I would use one or multiple nodes custom properties in order to have custom alarms or tweak them (ie: do not warn me for this alert if "is_mobile" custom property is True and outside of business hours.) If…

Have you tried with group ID? http://Nameoftheserver.on.the.domain.com/Orion/NetPerfMon/ContainerDetails.aspx?NetObject=C:3 What you put after NetObject=C would be the group ID.

I've upgraded to 11.5RC and the flag went back to "true". I wonder if I have to change it or if the issue is fixed.

I had the same issue, twice. I wish I had read this post before I call Tech support...

This Password Expiry Email Notification Powershell Script could be used to either send an email (without SAM intervention), or could be used as inspiration to build something into SAM

I auto answered myself and posting the solution hoping that could help somebody down the road. By building the HTML link in the query, I was happily surprised that the tooltip was also enabled for those links, which I expected to be only on the DetailURL column. New Data Source query: SELECT a.NodeID, a.Status,…

Is there a way to not poll Stack-power but keep the data ring? We have multiple dual-stacked 3650's. Those switches do not have the powerstack capability I have multiple log entries where we see that SolarWinds tries to gather the information: 2016-10-31 17:23:46,099 [STP SmartThreadPool Thread #199568] WARN…

No planned support for Avaya's CS1000?

One of my client is running Avaya Blue. They have a CS1000e using PRI and SIP trunks in a few buildings... Phones 1220, 1140e, and some SIP over wifi phones.

Another issue I'm having: When sending traps from NPM, defined variables used in the template are showed as deprecated in the trap sent (not in NPM directly ) and the link given is an Oops page. .1.3.6.1.4.1.11307.10.7[OCTET STRING]="PropertyName" variable is deprecated in New Alerting; please see…
