This is really encouraging to read. Not only have SWI cleaned up their build process by having "one installer to rule them all", they are also looking ahead, adopting new frameworks before many other vendors. Spicy!

Hey @"Tony.r" In addition to what's been said here, and to expand on some of the abbreviations used by others, as you're new to the platform, there's a few things you can setup to help organise things. In the below I have assumed you've been asked for internet bandwidth usage, but you can rejig things to show internal use…

I'd be happy to help

Features are being worked on, constantly. What we are suffering from is the fact that SWI now have two distinct monitoring solutions to feed in terms of development time, and it's fair to say that most of the focus for the last 5 years has been on rewriting the SolarWinds Cloud tools into what is now SolarWinds…

Same, @"ecklerwr1" . While many disagreed with the changes to node-based licensing, the switch to subscription as the first option (and often only option given to prospective/renewing customers by most resellers/distributors, unfortunately) is almost universally unpopular. But, given the ownership, and the trend across the…

Are any of the other modules having problems? Check your 'My Deployment' for any other problems (Settings>My Deployment) which could explain the issue. Also, have a look at the logs in %programdata% (C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion by default) for any errors, specifically the business layer logs, as these may give you…

Done! 

Like @"dodo123" said, I recommend you create a new Feature Request for this, as it's something which should exist for every device. Vendor specific tools are starting to have this as a common feature, and SolarWinds risk being left behind by OOTB toolsets when it comes to this kind of quality if life improvement. If you…

I've managed to get quite a few custom pollers working on various FortiNet devices over the years, so the OIDs are there. It's just manual work Regarding any missing ones, if a SNMP walk of a device shows OIDs which are not in the MIB browser within the platform, there is a process to have them added to the global MIB…

@"thwackahsanpk" are you referring to the missing hardware health monitoring resource, when you list resources on these vendors? From a Fortinet perspective, I have wondered when we'd see OOTB support for hardware on more of these devices. Some Fortinet devices are supported (FortiSwitches, for example), but the key ones,…

#BumpSquad assemble!

No problem! Always happy to help. There are pre-requisites to using API pollers. If you are an Observability/Hybrid Cloud Observability Essentials or Advanced licensee, then you already have the features you need. However, if you have 'legacy module' licensing (NPM, NCM, etc) you need to check you are also licensed for…

I've not tried it myself, but maybe you can use an API poller to call the PA API to grab the info you need. This might help: https://pan.dev/scm/docs/home/

To clarify, I think what @"donrobert5" meant to suggest was for you to put this in a formal Feature Request (FR). This will allow the community to vote on your suggestion, and provide SolarWinds with a measure of how much this improvement is "wanted", due to the number of votes. The URL posted gives you the lowdown on how…

Answered for you @"ccousineau" 

Hi @"RobNeff" , sounds like you're having quite the challenge with support there. Have you tried calling support directly, rather than just using email? It's a little old school, I agree, but when I have a particularly thorny problem, and I'm suffering from the occasional email ping-pong which pops up from time to time…

Genius suggestions, mate!

Ah! Thanks for clarifying. Simplest was would be using the Database Manager, located on your Main Polling Engine. Open that, click 'Orion server', and you'll see all the databases. Expand the top level of each, and look for the table 'OrionLog': [View:https://imgur.com/a/7gfzDn3:820:615] That's your LA database. Finally,…

Hi @"patriot" . Can you expand on what you are looking for, please? All syslogs/traps/custom logs managed will store the in the SolarWindsOrionLog database. The logs in %programdata%/SolarWinds will show what;s going on with LA, but the data will be in the DB. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you!

Have you tried using the policy reports in NCM? If you setup a rule which searches for the permit all command, and then link this rule to a policy, you can create a report which will show which devices are currently breaching the policy.

I don't believe so. Network Traffic Analyser can help you with this, if you can monitor the switches which carry the traffic to the web server.

Go to 'Alerts & Activity' and filter by Event Type 'SAM Licensing'. Hopefully that'll give you some useful event information. I can't be 100% certain, as all of my instances are licensed OK right now, but this is the only relevant event type the platform tracks in either platform events, or auditing. Let me know how you…

I shall buy some snacks on the way home, and hope my phone lets me listen on the commute!

I'm sure we will mate! I'm on-site today, so the first few hours will be arms length. I'll be sure to pick it up on the recordings if I miss it though!

Here be the link to the event: https://events.thwackcamp.com/e/thwackcamp24

How are you polling the server? Try agent-based polling, if you haven't yet.

Thanks for updating us!

By any chance, are the ones showing red in a different domain to the polling engine they are polled by? Are you polling these via WMI or the SolarWinds Agent?

Give this query a try @"rupen73" SELECT NodesData.NodeID, NodesData.IsServer FROM NodesData LEFT JOIN dbo.AssetInventory_Polling ON NodesData.NodeID = AssetInventory_Polling.NodeID WHERE [AssetInventory_Polling].NodeID IS NULL AND NodesData.IsServer = 1 I've included the 'IsServer' field, mainly to filter out network nodes…
