Hi, the path changed in the latest version (12.4 or later) to C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\images\Login Best Regards Rene

Hi Vincent, if i remember right, i ran into the same issue a while ago. It seems like its a browser related issue, but i cant remember in which browser it occured. Just try a different one and you should be able to select / add nodes. Regards Rene

Hi, there is already a default alert for packet loss which you could duplicate and modify to your needs. Go to your "Manage Alerts" page and search for the "High packet loss" alert. Duplicate and edit it. On the trigger condition page choose the objects you want the alert to be triggered on and adjust the threshhold of %…

Hi, do you have the AD-Username resolution enabled in your UDT? Then Solarwinds will lookup Usernames associated with their Clientnames/IPs/MACs. If you have a rather big environment, the traffic can be quite noticable. But you are right, its nowhere mentioned in the documentation, atleast i could not find it after a quick…

Hi, you can create a user called "DirectLink". This users triggers some "hidden" functions in solarwinds. If this DirectLink-User exists and no other authentication (like windows integrated) is present you will skip the login-page and gets directed to the page you requested. Atleast if the DirectLink-User has the rights to…

Hi, you are correct about your concers regarding the APE scalability limit. From my experience if you are using SAM more or less only with AppInsight for SQL i would recommend calculating with 8k components instead of 10k. Which kind of license are you or your clients using? If its a node-based license, you have free (SAM…

Hi tuyen, to be honest i never did it myself, but looking at the OrionSDK there is an IPAM table (ipam.WindowsCred) which supports create, update and delete operations. So i think it should be possible. You could also take a look at the OrionSDK wiki for the credential management and look for "Create UserPassword WMI…

Hi, seems like your Testnode is polled via Agent. Did you change the preferred polling method to Agentless within the "Advanced" Options in your App Template? If the Node is polled via Agent and you did not change the polling method within this template it will always run as the account the agent uses. Regards Rene

Just played around with it and could not get it to work with regular expressions. Only thing that worked are the standard placeholders like '%' in SWQL.

Hi yannella​, i am pretty sure it is possible what you are trying to achieve. Maybe you need to do some customizing to make it work (mostly wizard-based, so it shouldn't be to hard). You should take a look device templates, connection profiles and macros. With those 3 tools you are able to connect to the desired devices…

Hi, i created something simular for a customer. It was some kind of "whitelist" for ACLs. It can be done with one regex line using a negative lookahead. Configure your Rule like that: Your regex String will look like: add…

Hi, the Solarwinds NCM Module is what you are looking for. Your use case is covered by multiple functions of the NCM. Easiest way would be the Baseline feature. You paste in a complete config or a config snippet (or even single lines) and apply them to your nodes. Then the NCM will show you a list of nodes which violate…

Hi, i got some great input from mesverrum​ which could also help in your case. He pointed me to a "hidden" function Orion does if you wrap variables in braces like <<< ${N=SwisEntity;M=Application.Node.Caption} >>>. It makes Orion return whatever is available for this variable based on your trigger condition. There is a…

Here are some suggestions from my experience if i run into errors similar to yours: Check the .Net-Framework Version installed on all servers. It needs to be same on the main poller and the APEs. I saw the weirdest behavior if those versions did not match. You could use the Solarwinds Log Adjuster on your main poller and…

Hi, a quick and dirty solution which comes into my mind is to change the node status with a trigger action. So if your alert for the disk usage is triggered, also add the trigger action "set custom status" and change the affected node to "warning" or "critical" - whatever suits you. I assume you have a reset condition for…

Hi, could you check the "polling details" widget on the affected machines, if the "next poll" date is the past? I had this issue some while ago with some windows servers, i raised a support ticket and we figured out that the data collection wasnt working properly. Best Regards Rene

Hi, you are looping through the nodes you pick from the list. But in your if-statement you try to access the whole array with .SysName, which will not work. You need to use @Node.SysName to access the current element in the loop and it should work. Example: foreach ( @Node in @ContextNode ) { if (@Node.SysName ==…

Hi there, thats interesting. I just tested your Regex with the config you posted within a compliance rule and it was working. I did not test it with a complete compliance-report, but within a rule it was working. Here is the setup: Does not trigger if block is present, does trigger if i delete it from the test-config. Best…

Hi Dave, here are some Infos about the agents and their security. (Something, but not much) Poll devices with SolarWinds Orion agents How agents work - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support The agents are encrypted with 2048bit or 3072bit TLS encryption. The communications between Orion Server and the agent are fully…

Hi Pete, im encountering the same issue on a customers installation. Did you made any progress so far? I did not had the time to open a ticket yet. Best Regards Rene

Hi, you can achieve this with some kind of "whitelist". You need a second regex (can be in the same rule) where you set the condition to "must not have" and the regex pattern with a negative lookahead: in your case: ^permit\s(?!10\.10\.10.\10*|2\.2\.2\.2*|192\.168\.1\.0*).+ This will trigger on anything that is not…

Hi, unfortunately i do not have any juniper devices available right now, but if you go to "all settings -> Manage Pollers" and go the "thwack community pollers" there are plenty already available. Just import them and test them against your target devices. Best Regards Rene

Hi Brian, you could use CRUD Operations to update the hostname. And example would look like: Alias: Set-SwisObject $swis -Uri 'swis://localhost/Orion/IPAM.IPNode/IPAddress=1.1.1.1' -Properties @{ Alias = 'test1' } DNS Name: Set-SwisObject $swis -Uri 'swis://localhost/Orion/IPAM.IPNode/IPAddress=1.1.1.1' -Properties @{…

Hi Alan, the 95th percentile is used to get rid of the spikes in traffic or latency reports. It means that the top 5% do not affect the statistics you are looking at. A basic example: You are pinging a server 10 times. 9 pings with 1ms latency, for 1 ping the server had a hickup -> 991ms latency. An average value would be…
