Desktop notifications do not yet allow for per-user specification. Certainly something we would be interested in for the future. ("Alert Jim- whether desktop, email, page, etc.) Access control is provided in that a user needs to login to the app.

Apologies for the difficulty. It sounds like there may have been issue in migrating the alert. If you could sned over the support case number we will follow-up.

Correct - creating two reports- one of which would contain a COUNT function and run on a (monthly / weekly?) basis.

If a node is added as "External" we do not update any information regarding it. If we wish to update IP dynamically, we should set as ICMP. “The External status is reserved for nodes hosting applications that are to be monitored with Orion Application Performance Monitor. Orion will not collect or monitor any data about a…

Are the groups with status issues nested?

Import of values from CSV will match on an existing column, so there will not be duplication of objects. As far as workflow, it would be: Export->Filter in Excel->Save Sheet->Import same sheet into CPE. We're certainly not done improving the CPE, and in future ports of Win32 functionality to the web, we will strive to…

Have you checked out the new "Custom Table" resource in web-based reporting?

Our awesome QA team came back with a solution: C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\styles\Admin.css /* Begin styles for admin home */ .ContentBucket { border: #dbdcd7 1px solid; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px;…

We have seen a couple cases of different flavors of anti-virus have this behavior where they prevent alert service from registering. It may be advised to disable AV temporarily during install to reduce this risk.

Yes, address transforms would be a FR. When we were to implement geolocation via CP, this may be a workaround.

WMI is not included at the moment. Setting is per node, but can be performed in bulk via "Manage Pollers" in 10.7 beta.

If the orion server can access http://open.mapquestapi.com/ but still no luck, a support ticket may be the best course of action.

Not a known issue with 11.5RC - having support dig in is likely the best path forward: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/

Would you perhaps be able to expand on this? Migrated alerts should not look any different in content.

Please don't take this to mean we would not have service releases going forward, and we are also looking at alternate delivery methods for HF for the future. To your point, it would be advantageous to make it easier to understand what HF are applied to the environment. 

What is the issue with pulling data? Could also add a COUNT statement on the SQL query in a separate custom table resource to achieve the goal no?

Our pleasure sir. Try changing the "background: transparent;" value to reflect a color value.

Apologies for the delay, was out at Cisco Live ANZ last week. Good catch, that label is incorrect and actually applies to both node and interface calculation. The additional retention settings are for node statistics (availability / response time / etc.)

Definitively not 10.7. We're looking at a way to handle unsupported wireless devices more generically for the future.

Very neat sir. If we were to build a native desktop notification tool, are there any other features you would want to include?

If you check out the NPM 12 beta (NPM 12.0 Beta1 Now Available) we introduce ability to map pollers to "Node Details" fields. What sort of UnDP data were you looking to map?

The SSL site binding issue was indeed supposed to be corrected in 10.7. I'll check with QA for reproduction.

It also never hurt to get our support team involved: http://solarwinds.com/support They'd be more than happy to help hunt down the issue.

All he needs:

I was able to reproduce this behavior, and it does appear to be a bug. We will look to address in a future release. To get out of this bad state, the page needs to be refreshed (F5) and filter re-applied. In regards to the multiple filters on a single column, have we tried to use the Export / Import function? This would…

Let's try to upgrade to 10.5. Should this not resolve the issue, a support case would be the next step.

Apologies - I misspoke- for RTM we actually include those CP's out of the box. Just need to add those columns to edit grid:

This does appear in 10.7. ANNOUNCING GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF NPM 10.7

Apologies for the difficulty with the new alerting interface sir. If the type-ahead isn't populating, this is certainly a bug we should address. Is there a support ticket # I can follow-up on? In regards to spamming your team, we did introduce a new fail-safe feature in 11.5 to warn if the alert would immediately trigger.…

Apologies sir - I will address with support and get your case with dev ASAP.
