Ok, short version first: We're working on it. Long one: You aren't doing anything wrong. The feature just doesn't work up to expectations, and that is the reason it is not yet documented. We are going to improve it. Set in stone. But I cannot give you an ETA on it. But I put a flag on the task. Let's say; when we meet…

On it. Will try to find out a little more on it, and, oh, why it isn't properly documented.

It seems you need to renew the maintenance contract as it probably run out a few years ago. Please find more information here: https://www.solarwinds.com/maintenance

Hi, While the investigations are still ongoing, you will find an always up to date list of what products are affected vs not known to be affected here: https://www.solarwinds.com/securityadvisory/faq Scroll down to "What products are NOT affected by this security vulnerability?"

Hi, Your 2008 server is the main problem, besides that you would "just" need to update NPM to v12, and then to 2020.2.4. Have a look at this guy here: https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/support/product-upgrade-advisor

Do you still have access to the old database? You could try the steps as outlined here: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/content/core-centralized-licensing-move-licenses.htm Worst case is to wait for Support to help you, but at least you should be alright for the next 30 days with the…

Hi, Most of these glitches are caused by files in use and a reboot helps, but you probably tried that already. I suggest having a look at the log file to see what exactly is causing the error. You can find the ConfigurationWizard.log at C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion

Hi, Most data and settings are stored in the DB. I suggest to have a look at the migration docs here: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/Content/Orion_Platform_Migration_Guide.htm Please do not forget to release the license on your old system. It even works while being offline, steps are…

Hi Yes we started moving away from Flash in 2019. Here's the release notes for 6.7, and I suggest to check the other ones at the left hand side: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/SEM/Content/Release_Notes/SEM_6-7_Release_Notes.htm

No, Nick is right - it's a Chrome addon. And it looks terrible, I dont want no pink buttons on my dashboards please!

Just open "Universal Device Poller" and create a poller with your OIDs --> assign to node --> show as element within the web interface --> profit!

Do not try this at home:

Here's an elephant with ankle monitor, also an example of my amazing photoshop skills!

Feel invited, but do not touch the cake

Hi! I dont have the agenda in front of me right now, but I think the commercial part runs on 5./6., while the techs are there from 04-08.02. I hope to have an updated posting out there by tomorrow.

Go for it! I've had the lemon one and it has been an UNREAL EXPERIENCE!

Guten Morgen, Das ist tatsächlich ein Ansatz den ich ignoriert habe! Zuerst zu deiner Frage - du hast vollkommen Recht mit deiner Vermutung bzgl WMI und SNMP. Der SAM wird nicht nach Interfaces lizensiert, aber erlaubt natürlich das überwachen der Interfaces auf den Servern per WMI und das kumuliert dann oben drauf. Um dem…

Der Typ auf dem Foto!

Tach! Ich bin wieder sicher in Irland angekommen. Bei der Durchsicht meiner Fotos bemerke ich, dass ich wie üblich fast nur Essen fotografiert habe. Kann man mir das vorwerfen? Los ging es am Montag in Düsseldorf mit einer lokalen Spezialität und ich war begeistert - Rinderbraten mit Senfkruste: In Berlin am Dienstag Abend…

Zwischenstand! Die ersten Events sind abgeschlossen, hier nun ein paar Impressionen. Muenchen: Stuttgart: Zum Nachtisch gab es "irgendwas mit irgendwas" - aber es war schrecklich lecker: Monsieur Macron würde sagen "delicious"! Wir sehen uns in Düsseldorf.

Seal of approval! Does the job, lightweight, sits somewhere in background on your domain controller random member server!

Isn't it? Being able to take that pic was the only reason I tried so hard to be the first guy at the bar, I promise! It had nothing to do with the shorter-time-to-beer, or STTB,

Hi, there's no ootb integration with Service Desk, but have a look here for some ideas: Third party ticketing system integration - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Minor Velocity Protocol It's based on TCP, just slower, so it is easier to spot dropped packages.

Hi, You will only lose previously collected data when changing the polling method like SNMP --> WMI etc. "Unknown" usually means that a node couldnt be identified at all and is just polled for availability via ICMP. Check for wrong credentials first. If you are just after the visual appearance in the list of nodes, you can…

Grey is the new black. I love it.

You could try to change the way the group status is being identified. Click Edit at the group settings and change the behavior.

Hi, did you run a quick Wireshark to see if stuff is actually arriving?
