Feel free to message me directly, historically I never had that much time to provide that much feedback, or as much as I would have liked to. I just appreciate whatever I get. I'll probably be able to provide more once i schedule in an upgrade and play with it.

Personally, I was never a an of Atlas and ever since the maps feature was added to the Node tabs, I hoped we would get to this point of a true modern replacement. I'll be interested to see how enhanced mode status treats LACP EtherChannel; links between nodes. Currently the only way I can show the status of a link which…

As an update, I had to change to using downloads.solarwinds.com via the centralised upgrade/online mechanism to get the HF2 update. Not entirely sure what the offline image was unhappy with.

That would be VMware NSX-V Distributed Firewall, or so I am told by our team that provide me a VM to host Solarwinds onto. I can't agree with the reasoning DNS would protect me against DNS Poisoning, especially when the current rule set only allows communication with Solarwinds controlled/owned IP space. Regardless, it…

Fundamentally, I've been trying to get an answer to what online services SolarWinds needs access to fully function, in a bare minimum allowed ruleset for some time, but not DNS. I've asked techinical support this before without much success. Our instance cannot communicate with anything other than Licensing, NIST,…

I suspect I have some further reading to do, but I'm more concerned why it seems the affected product list has changed, I originally read the e-mail and previous version of the Security Advisory as versions 2019.4 HF 5 to 2020.2.1 inclusive as being affected. It now states "SolarWinds asks customers with any of the below…

I've got a completely different issue, I'm in an offline environment trying to use the pre-stage option.

Well, I've just finished off a migration & upgrade of our Monitoring Platform this week. This involved 8 2012 R2 Servers hosting SQL 2012 SP4, A Main Polling Engine & 6 Additional Polling Engines. Migrated the Database to a new 2016 SQL/2016 Server, re configuring the existing servers. Provisioned new APEs, reassigning…

Unfortunately not, with the hosting infrastructure firewall solution, they have to specify source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port, and service. Even if they could, one of the arguments I will get against this method is not being able to protect the machines against DNS spoofing/injection. Even if…

I wasn't expecting this much to dive into on Dashboards, great update!

I was about open a new thread on this exact topic, but specifically looking for IP addresses or SolarWinds AS blocks, rather than URL's, except for those where the IP has been defined in the link Serena provided, I'm assuming that the other addresses may be load balanced and could resolve to more than one address? I'm in…

"Portsmouth Nodes" would only be down if all monitored nodes within it, were down.
