  • Typically when you want different alert actions for different devices you need a separate alert. If it's a common action like an email and you want to use a different email address, that gives you a bit of flexibility. There are two options here: * Use a custom property that defines which department owns which device…

  • If you have somehow deleted the default "admin" account, running the Configuration Wizard and doing a repair on the database should add it back in. There are other options but as @"gerretwalczak" said, I'm not sure if it's allowed to discuss those.
  • If you don't want to run a custom SQL/SWQL report, you can create a report for Interfaces and add the Polling and Statistics Polling values. I've attached a quick and dirty report to this post you can play with. You can import it in Manage Reports. 1. Create a new report 2. Add a Custom Table 3. Change the selection method…
  • I commented in your other thread about this: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/WPM-Discussions/Alert-configuration-for-transaction-down/m-p/601236/highlight/true#M2510 Check my post for a more detailed answer but at a high level: * Polling time / playback interval - how often the system will run through the transaction (go…
  • There are three timers you need to consider here: * The playback interval - 5 mins- this is how often the system will run through the transaction (go through the playback steps) and record a status * The evaluation frequency of the alert - 5 mins - this is how often you want SolarWinds to check this alert condition, you…
  • You need to go through the sections of the walk that match the ENVMON-MIB and ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB. In your output you pasted: * .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.62 = CISCO-IPSEC-MIB * .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.91 = CISCO-EMBEDDED-EVENT-MGR-MIB * .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.102 = CISCO-IETF-DHCP-SERVER-MIB * .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.137 = CISCO-IETF-BFD-MIB Per my…
  • There is a basic version of this in SAM, which uses various vendor APIs to check the warranty status of the server service tag. However I don't believe you can override the dates or customise it like you can with network devices in NCM. It shows up under the Asset Inventory.…
  • The documentation covers how to go through an upgrade: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/Content/Orion_Platform_Installation_Guide.htm
  • The ability to change the icon sizes was added in Orion 2020.2. Looking at your screenshot, I think you might still be running on 2019.4 or 2019.2 so you will need to upgrade if you want to change the icon sizes.
  • The values are pulled from the device in celsius as that's the metric the Cisco MIB uses. The hardware health widget can be configured to show the values in celsius or fahrenheit (by editing the widget) or under the Hardware section in your account settings (edit your account in Manage Accounts). The report is most likely…
  • I never found a solution that worked 100%. I ended up trying various scripts and writing my own but never got it to work "just right". Most instances where I have seen the map used they didn't add/remove a lot of devices or they used groups on the map that don't change often. So I use the Custom Property import method and…
  • I don't have any custom pollers to test with currently but in theory you could: * Create a new report * Add a Custom Table * Report on a Custom Node Poller and use the unique name for your total pages custom poller * Add the following columns:* Custom Node Poller > Custom Poller Current Stats > Current Numerical Value *…
  • The installer was most likely installing .NET 4.8 as that's what the newer versions use, and the reboot was to finish installing that. UDT can't jump straight from 3.2.4 to 2020.2 without a step upgrade, and the step upgrade version it has chosen (3.4) doesn't support Windows 2012. You could do a step-upgrade from UDT…
  • The raw data is stored in the InterfaceTraffic_Details_x tables. When the raw data is summarised into hourly (after 7 days by default), it goes into the InterfaceTraffic_Hourly_x tables. When the hourly data is summarised into daily (after 30 days by default), it goes into the InterfaceTraffic_Daily_x tables. So you won't…
  • The Windows Scheduled Tasks monitor only looks at the jobs in the root folder. If you create a subfolder and put all the jobs you don't care about in there, the monitor should ignore them. E.g. Tasks in the root folder A task in a subfolder The task monitor doesn't show the "hidden task" job.
  • You can do this with the enhanced node status however you may need to modify the default setting where Custom Node Pollers don't affect the node status. * Under your Main Settings & Administration view in the Thresholds & Polling section, click the Node Child Status Participation * Toggle the Custom Node Poller to on *…
  • I vaguely recall seeing somewhere this was a "fix" in the new versions to not interpret HTML in script outputs as a security measure. However, I thought it was implemented in 2020.2 so curious why it is working in there. I think @"frak" might have more information? EDIT: I just saw your post saying this is deliberate.…
  • Do you have the Virtualization Manager (VMAN) module? If not, you won't have access to snapshot data.
  • Currently (2020.2.1) there is no way to disable that feature. SolarWinds have taken note of it as a feature request. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/The-Orion-Platform-Documents/Orion-Platform-2020-2-Modern-Dashboards/tac-p/590917/highlight/true#M76
  • You could try something like the following. I can't remember if the column uses the server datetime or UTC datetime. If it is UTC, change GETDATE to GETUTCDATE. Last 24 Hours InterfaceLastChange >= DATEADD(hour, -24, GETDATE()) If the last change datetime is newer than the current date minus 24 hours. Last 7 Days…
  • It's an odd one. I'd follow the instructions and run the Wbemtest app on the server with the WMI account. That will confirm if WMI can see the interfaces (Agent polling still uses WMI locally, WMI polling polls WMI remotely from the SolarWinds server). If WMI can't see the interfaces - server issue. If WMI can see the…
  • You can try turning on the debugging for that application monitor, then you can review the SAM debug logs. * If you are running an agent on the server and the application monitor is set to Agent polling, the log will be on the remote server. * If you are not running an agent, or the application monitor is set to Agentless…
  • SolarWinds already pulls the separate values out in the database and the default Caption is a combination of the two fields with the · symbol between them. Instead of i.Caption AS 'Interface', try using i.InterfaceName (Cable Interface) and i.InterfaceAlias (Cluster Name). You'll need to update the other sections of your…
  • You could potentially script it with something like the following (edit the select query in the script). https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/Interface.Cleanup.ps1 Each interface is given a sequential InterfaceID in the database. The new interfaces will have the highest interface ID…
  • @"TimWhite_LC2" Yes, if your other instances have SAM you can use the Orion template to monitor each instance. * if they are in the same network but in remote locations, you could try using WMI polling remotely (WinRM/DCOM/RPC) * or alternatively as you have noted, as the agent can only communicate with one instance you…
  • You can't migrate the rules but you can still run the Syslog and Trap Viewer tools from the SolarWinds install directory. It will load up the old tools in read-only mode so you can see what filters and actions you had configured. E.g. from my lab Alternatively, uninstall the Log Viewer module and configure the system…
  • Does the report run in the Report Writer? Does that Comments custom property field still exist or has it been deleted?
  • Sounds like you might need to talk to Palo Alto.
  • These will probably get you started: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/SAM/Content/SAM-Templates-LinuxUnix-scripting.htm https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/SAM/Content/SAM-Templates-LinuxUnix-create-monitor.htm…
  • You cannot copy or add more component monitors to an AppInsight template.
