Is there an integration for SolarWinds with Thycotic? I'd like to explore that. As mentioned, it'd be nice to have AD accounts synced so they don't have to be updated in SolarWinds at all.

I can't believe this is not a standard option in Pingdom.

It's a bit difficult to automate 2FA since its purpose is to prevent the likes of this behavior. I know many places that utilize 2FA, would use those static backup codes and just set one to non-expiring. 

I couldn't afford to switch to Component monitor. I did SWQL query instead and it worked just fine for my purposes. Something along these lines: ${N=SWQL;M=SELECT ca.MultiValueMessages FROM Orion.APM.Application app JOIN Orion.APM.ComponentAlert ca ON app.ApplicationID = ca.ApplicationID WHERE app.ApplicationID =…

Thank you for the reply, @"mesverrum"! I wish there was an easier way of doing it. I guess I will look into scripting it as well.

I guess it makes sense if you already have a secondary monitoring system in place. Unfortunately, I don't think I want to spin up a separate instance of Zabbix or similar to monitor RabbitMQ on Solarwinds. I looked at rabbitmq-diagnostics.bat script that provides some useful info and quick health checks. I wonder if anyone…

Thanks for the reply. What is the best place to look at the API poller results? Obviously, PerfStack is misleading. I do agree with you that it shows down due to polling issue but I can't seem to figure out what that issue is. If I alert on poller being down, I'd be getting alerts for when the polling failed and have no…

I had this issue before. I don't exactly recall but we either rebooted the server or ran config wizard. One of those two fixed it for us.

@"Vinx" I'm experiencing the same problem. Not sure if you were able to solve it but I'm in the same boat.

That works. Thanks! Even though, to be honest, what I was looking for was the IP addresses of the servers where those NFS shares are mounted. For a second, I thought that column was reflecting that. But of course, those are the IPs of the file share server itself.

The footer was showing hotfix2 but in the query it was hotfix1. Not surprisingly, re-running configuration wizard on Orion Core updated the database to the correct hotfix version. So, that was simple enough of a fix.

Support confirmed that this is a bug in the latest WPM release. So, we are just (im)patiently waiting on the fix now.

So, I see HotFix2 applied if I RDP to Orion Core and check under Programs and Features. But if I run sql query on [dbo].[OrionServers], it's still showing hotfix1. Any way to have the database catch up with the reality?

Comparing config files between 2020.2.1.6402 and 2020.2.2.6824 they look different. Here are some more relevant(I think) logs: DEBUG SolarWinds.SEUM.Agent.WorkerProcessManagement.WorkerProcessManager - No workers running in interactive session. Releasing interactive session. 2020-12-18 21:55:44,671 [PlaybackDispatcher]…

Thanks for the reply. I know the support is pretty slammed nowadays, so I figured I'd post here in hopes some other users may have a similar issue.

Yes, that is correct. They are being load balanced with round-robin. The problem with it is both servers not sharing sessions state. So, if a load balancer sends you to a web servers other than the one you originally established your session with, you'll get a session timeout. Hence, I was trying to figure out a way to do…

@"jm_sysadmin" That totally worked! I don't know much about SQL statements, hence, the original problem of getting it to work. How did you map vserver to volumes without using any kind of join statement? Unless it's something simple that I'm totally overlooking. Thanks a lot for the help!

It does return 0. Actually, when I test the script in SAM it returns the correct values, it's just not recognized by SAM. As if I need to convert those return values somehow. This is the return of test: No fields were recognized in the script output: Statistic.Alias1Age: 0 Message.Alias1Age: alias-..... on a..........edu…

I wasn't trying to load balance it in the traditional sense. I thought it'd assign poller through load balancer in round-robin way. So, my understanding at this point, I will need to create agent install script per each poller and then just rotate it through Puppet/Chef?

When they were writing their scripts, I told them what they needed to add to make it SAM-friendly which they did. If I copy the script into SAM, it works. So, my question is if I want to use the output of the script, how do I manipulate it? If in "command line" I'm putting /dir/folder/script.sh (the script is executable).

Thanks! That might work. I'm trying to decipher how install.sh file work. I understand it creates INI file but since there are no credentials in there, what does it use to provision the agent? I'd prefer not to keep account credentials inside the file if I don't have to.

Thanks! I attempted to use this option in agent wizard: I set up virtual ip that has pool of solarwinds pollers behind it and it load balances the traffic. When I create agent install command using that virtual ip address, all my agents get assigned to main poller (it's not even part of the pool). Not sure how to adjust…

Can someone give @"DaHaole" an award?! Since I have little to no SQL skills, I'm blown away by this. Especially, since it does exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, DaHaole!

I don't know what I did differently initially but I just repeated it (peeking at your screenshot) and it worked just fine. Thanks a lot for all the help and explanation!

That was my first thought but I didn't know if there are any issues with this method or if there was a better way to handle it. So, now, when I add command line argument to point to the actual script, I get the result back in the correct format but SAM doesn't recognize it (with Script body being empty). When I test it, it…

That looks interesting but not exactly what I'm looking for. I am just trying to assign custom properties to volumes based on SVM they live on using Orion SDK. So, that's basically what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks! I didn't realize that. Is there a way "load balance" between polliing engines? In my understanding that command specifies particular poller? Is there a way to have them rotate or would I just have to go and manually re-assign them to a separate pollers in "Manage nodes" section?

Haha, that's fundamentally wrong design to fix performance/error by throwing more resources at it. I appreciate the suggestion but I think the issue is with the application. We have 16 cores and it runs at 30% CPU on average but then on those occasions CPU spikes to 100% and crashes it. So, definitely not a resource…

Wow, this is amazing stuff! Considering my baby-level in SQL, it had me lost there for a moment. I know it's probably too much to ask but how would I limit it to let's say last 1/4/8 hours? I understand I need to add where condition based on StartDateTime but I'm not even sure where to place it. And if possible, to also…

That totally makes sense. I don't know why I lept thinking that it converts a total capacity value from integer to string, hence, I kept trying to compare what I thought was 2 strings. I see it now, though. Now, I just need to figure out how to compare the 2 using SWQL query. @"HerrDoktor" , do you have an example for that?
