so if i do a discovery on the 1500 upgraded VMs, Orion will remove the OLD volumes?

Well, that is just a terrible design all around. Thanks for your input. I guess I'll delete the VMs and re add them in a discovery. YAY!

@"kavana33" @"fakeusername" sorry for the late response. so i'm not exactly sure why this worked, but it did. we whitelisted our public IP space, servicenow (for the incident integration), windows update endpoints, a few other API endpoints we use for various integrations and custom scripts. we didn't whitelist anything…

Hey @"hpstech" thanks for the reply. So this is by design? Orion doesn't automatically pick up new disks and clear out the old ones?

@"jrouviere" thank you for your reply. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't crazy and that field wasn't in the graphical builder. i think that's really odd. a custom query it is...thank you!

Thanks for the reply. glad i'm not the only one. 

Yep, we are having the same thing. after i login, it just spins for 3-5 minutes then times out. i'm hesitant to call support because i'm sure wait times are high at the moment. i suppose i'll open a ticket via the customer portal. Please let me know if you find a fix and i will do the same!

@"marcrobinson" EXACTLY what i needed. thank you!

I had to put the offline installer on each orion server and run it manually. then run the configuration wizard when it finished (on all servers)

@"monitoringlife" @"kavana33" did you guys block all public traffic on your orion servers after the security event news broke? we did, so after i whitelisted the necessary IPs and FQDNs, it started working again.

i upgraded and now i can't login. i made a post here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Discussions/Upgraded-to-the-new-hotfix-now-i-can-t-login/m-p/613299#M151225

Glad to help!

If you only rebooted, Orion probably didn't catch it. i believe the default polling interval is 120 seconds. i would expect most devices to be able to reboot and come back online within that time frame. can you bring it down for 3 minutes to test? Also, do you have anything checked on this box?

Did the steps i gave you work? This article should point you in the right direction of adding domain accounts to the WPM Recorder: Use local domain accounts in WPM 

@"tony.johnson" i opened 00505593 on march 26th. i was advised there was a connection error on my corebusiness layer logs that is directly related to a potential issue the developers are trying to resolve. i was told this should be fixed in Orion 2020.2.

kduncan​ i figured it out! i had to use the widget called "Top XX Volumes by Disk Space Used" not "Top 10 Volumes by Disk Space Used" to get that sweet edit button.

The Windows Group I am in has full admin rights and "view customization" has that beautiful green "yes" underneath. any other ideas? i just opened a case with support.

@"dbradley1" When you had the OR you were saying "trigger an alert when Node Prison_Facility is equal to WDC *OR* when a node is down" (all nodes in your environment). if you just want the alert to trigger when a WDC node is down you would want an AND. The "this alert would be immediately triggered on X objects" is just…

@"OliviaP" just one more question! if we purchase the discounted SCP exam, does it come with a retake?

I got a resolution from support on this. they advised me to run this query against the Orion DB (make sure your DB is backed up): ALTER TABLE [dbo].[NetObjectDowntime] ALTER COLUMN [EntityType] varchar(255) NOT NULL; and the restart all services on all your servers. I hope this helps.

When you say "SW will not allow you to delete a custom property if it is in use in any capacity", what do you mean exactly? Because i was just able to delete a custom property that was assigned to several thousand nodes.

Maybe try this: 1. RDP to your Orion polling engine 2. Open up Orion Service Manager 3. Click Shutdown Everything. Wait until everything is in a stopped state excluding dependencies. 4. Open Programs & Features. 5. Uninstall SolarWinds JobEngine v2 6. Uninstall SolarWinds Collector 7. Go to…

Yep, i've followed those instructions to a T multiple times with no luck. might need to get meraki support involved too...

i added the delay of one minute, but i was still having the issue, but i figured it out i think. sometimes the query i run to grab the incident number returns two incident numbers, so i need to limit it to one like so: ${SQL:SELECT top 1 IncidentNumber FROM [dbo].[SNI_AlertIncidents] WHERE AlertObjectID =…

nice. good luck on your endeavor! 

@"tony.johnson" i found a couple cases that are related to the issue i am describing: 00443928 and 00224022.

Thank you serena​! Is there a max amount of past polling intervals that it can look back to?

much appreciated mesverrum​! works like a charm

we're specifically looking for packet loss on the port where the carrier circuit terminates. basically we want to be able to monitor the carrier circuit, and this is the only thing i could come up with. i'm working on creating the UnDP now for errors on the interfaces. do you have any other ideas on how to monitor an ISP's…

I am. i don't have an "edit" button on any other views that use this widget either. I can filter other widgets with SWQL no problem, just not this particular one. I'm on 6.8 too.
