Yeah, I dove deeper into the Orion SDK and found out that it is indeed possible. I wrote a script that goes through the database and pushes any node with geo-location set to the World Map. Then I wrote one that does it automatically as it transfers monitoring from our previous NMS to Solarwinds, right after creation. The…

This would indeed be very nice and is exactly one of the first questions I got while doing trainings yesterday with our Support team in preparation of going live next week.

Has anything like this happened yet? I tried searching, but haven't found anything. About 70% of our nodes only accept ICMP, so the default solution doesn't quite work for us. We're also growing rapidly, new nodes are added daily, others are removed. It's a bit of a pain to do this manually, especially since it basically…

We encountered an issue where Centralized Updates would throw an error downloading a specific file on the Polling Engines for the 12.5 HF2. This occurred on 7 out of 8 Polling Engines, with no apparent pattern. Copying that specific file over directly from the Main Poller to the Installers folder on the Polling Engines…

I support what the guys above me said. Also, your URL has "swis://tdanner-dev.swdev.local" in it. As you're not T. Danner or in the Solarwinds Development team, this wouldn't work in the first place. You seem to have copied an example Response from the wiki.

I see. Yeah, I know they aren't, which is a shame. They're rather underwhelming with user management in general (I mean, there's not even an "I forgot my password"-button? Or linking e-mail to accounts?). Anyway, I want to know what user is viewing a specific custom HTML widget so I can send that with the API call made…

We're running version 12.3, which the website says is the latest. The script was adding objects to the map automatically, so I only noticed when it got slightly over 2k. When I removed some of them, the page only became responsive again when the amount dropped below 1k. It said on the Map itself that it doesn't support…

Currently nodes are grouped by End-Customer and Supplier. Our environment is pretty new and not yet in production, so we're still messing around with how we want to approach things. We recently discovered the power of custom properties, so we've expanded greatly on them. We could definitely use dynamic queries to add nodes…

Mostly for ICMP . We're sort of a middle-man in supplying internet for Enterprises and Carriers, through local ISP's. SolarWinds is used to for Support, verifying if a line is down, where the issue lies (within the scope of our support or not), etc. Depending on the SLA, we use alerting to offer pro-active support. Some…

The main router on DC A fails but the environment is still up. The fail over would go to DC B and when router on DC a is fixed the information polled from DC A would be…

Thank you guys for the replies, btw. I will update once we've implemented our final solution. At this moment there's still a lot of debate on what shape it will take. There is talk about restructuring our entire environment again, so it will take a while

Fair enough

So you don't have a list of resources that may resolve those ${macros}, but do you perhaps have a list somewhere of ${macros} that can be used in resources that do? I'm specifically interested in macros that would be different depending on the user that views the resource, but from what I've seen that isn't possible. It…

Thank you for your response. I have checked the PoolID's as shown below and they appear to be correct. The server hostnames in HA_PoolMembers are correct. I have a call scheduled with Technical Support in 1,5 hours, hopefully we'll be able to clear things up. I'll update the thread when the problem/solution is found.

I don't know what went wrong when I tested it in isolation (with the example posted above), but I found out that the list of dicts I was passing it as its last argument was faulty in my script. When the group got created, I would look something like this: [{'Name': 'Node', 'Definition':…

When downloading the installer to the server directly and running it there, I get the following error.

Thanks for the reply! 1) Although we're reevaluating the way we want to structure our NMS as we're now changing to Solarwinds, it looks like we're not going to change the way our nodes are grouped. For us that means that a group could contain possibly hundreds of nodes, spread out all over the world. Having a single pin…

I hope the username + password provided in that script are dummies. Even if, it would be bad form to just put them right there.

I'm really curious what triggered this change. I would figure out who changed your Footer and what they did and then revert that change. If it turns out that they did something to the css-files, NPM Menu Bar Color Change is a thread from someone who wanted to change the colour of the Header. I imagine the css for the…

If you know the IP address you can do this: It could be that someone changed the name or something and that's the reason you can't find it. With the IP address you can just show All action types and (hopefully) you won't be overwhelmed with user actions.

You may want to take a look at this thread.

If I understand you correctly you'll want the ContainerMemberDefinition table. If you know the ContainerID of the group you want to know the children of, you can do something like this: contid = "1" results = swis.query("SELECT Definition FROM Orion.ContainerMemberDefinition WHERE ContainerID = @contid",…

We recently updated to NPM 12.5. Been good so far, liking the new features. We mostly do ICMP monitoring, so we don't go very deep into the SolarWinds rabbithole.

We've run into similar issues with the Worldwide Map. Something like 80%+ of our nodes do not give us SNMP access, so the automatic map population using SNMP does not help us at all. We also found out that the cap for pins on the map apparently is 1000. I've made a similar post a few months ago. You can find it here:…

The image you attached is just a notification that there is an error. You can follow the instructions on it to show the actual error on the webpage if you want. The preferable method is to use the logs as the others have suggested. Until we know what the actual error was we can't help you prevent it. I have seen this…

Update: I contacted Technical Support about this. They weren't able to pinpoint the cause of this problem, but did tell me this should not be an issue for me anymore. The orphaned entries are all in tables that were used in previous versions of Orion, but no longer in 2019.2. All Database Maintenance errors were alleviated…

UPDATE: I have installed the latest hotfix. This fixed the issue with rotating the RabbitMQ logs that caused the DBMaintenance to fail before. The issue with orphaned entries still persists, though.

It turned out I hadn't embedded the iframe correctly. Taken from another forum post it looked like this: <html> <body> <iframe src="/Orion/Device_Map/map_generation.html" width="1340" height="700"></iframe> </body> </html> The opening and closing html and body tags were unnecessary and interfering with the page. When the…

The map on the left is the built-in Worldwide Map and the one on the right is the map that we've built ourselves. Because of the nature of our business it is not that helpful to group nodes together by location. We can have multiple nodes in the same street for different customers and different suppliers. We decided to…

Did you resolve this issue? I'm just now encountering the _exact_ same error message. Our polling engines are spread out all over the world. One or two for every continent. (Except for the one with the "Communication error", but that one is in China so that was expected.)
