I've written up a quick doc to explain how VMAN 8.4 can give you better alerting based on our VMware events support. Let me know if you find this helpful: DEAR VMAN: How do I have better visibility into VMs that are rebooting?

Hi Chuck, Our first set of slots filled up, but I can validate that we've received your survey responses! As soon as additional slots open up, we'll be in touch

ccraddock wrote: Serena, Thanks so much for the fast and accurate response. One more question: Do we need to upgrade our back end SQL database server as well?

Good call Steffen. Tracking the feature request internally under VIM-5943

gareth.armstrong wrote: Hi Steffen, I’m seeing the figure updated on Solarwinds but the figure hasn’t updated on the V-Center, so it results in us getting the same figure every time Solarwinds polls. I’m aware that this is more a VMWare issue – I was hoping that someone had had this problem and had a way of getting…

I followed up with my team, and this is indeed as you described a bug that was discovered and is being tracked under internal ticket VIM-3008 This ticket was fixed in VMAN 8.2 Virtualization Manager 8.2 Release Notes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC.

Yes. we're working on this now, let me know if you're interested in chatting with me on your use cases and we can set up a call!

Configuring that range is pretty much your best bet at the moment with the Top N widgets. However, your question on whether the "Top N" widget is even the best way to report the data is an excellent question. In reality it depends on what you're looking to see from this report. Do you only care about the graph part of the…
