Does the user account you're using to install SolarWinds have full admin rights to the server? At this point, I recommend that you log a call with Support.

Hey Lada, Thanks for the helpful response. I had considered doing this, but I don't want to keep any of the old data if I can get away with it. Mainly because the database is massive and full data for old/removed nodes. I didn't realise that the config wizard creates missing tables! If, for example, the original server had…

The alert doesn't notify the group. You need to specify what you want the alert to do when it's triggers are thrown. Generally, you'll be looking to specify one of the following actions: 1. Send an email to advise that an interface is down. 2. Update the NPM log with the alert information 3. Send an SMS If you're looking…

Could you post the script itself as well please? The 'script body' portion of the above doesn't show the whole script. On the face of it, there's nothing wrong with the settings in the template (As long as the stored credentials it pulls from the SAM credentials are correct).

Nice. Looking forward to learning what the eventual resolution turns up to be!

Try testing SNMP from the poller which is polling the devices which is showing as unknown. There's a utility in the SolarWInds folder called 'snmpwalk.exe' (default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion). Run this to check that SNMP traffic is actually getting through to the nodes in question.

Right, you've probably tried this already but here goes: * Go into 'Reports'. Then click 'Manage Reports' (right hand side, green button). * Find the current report, check the box next to it and then click the 'copy & edit' button in the toolbar. * When the report (finally) loads, click the 'edit table' button next to the…

Apologies for the delay. Was your old report based on a custom SQL query? Depending on what it's looking for, you may be able to run it from the web reports section of the Orion website. If you go to reports, change the filter on the left to 'Report Origin' all you old reports will be under 'Report Writer'. If you're not…

Are you running NTA as a stand-alone product, or is it integrated with NPM/other SolarWinds modules?

No, it shouldn't be a problem. You need to have IIS installed and .Net 3.5 Service Pack 1, but the installer would warn you if these were missing, as part of the installation process. What you could do is try to open a case with support, or email the SolarWinds sales guys who would have emailed you after you downloaded the…

Do you have pass-through authentication enabled in your domain? It could be that it's passing through the username/password for the user in a format other than what is expected. To confirm try running your browser with debug on and then browse to the Orion website when logged on as that user, see what is actually being…

Hey cgregors​. I feel you pain, this issue is rather painful for a lot of people. Allow me to address some of your points: * You don't need to restart the primary polling engine to fix most issues. A refresh of the Orion services sorts most blips out, and if that doesn't work, running the Configuration Wizard and choosing…

Awesome idea! When it's fixed, take a full desktop screengrab if it working, then use that as a screensaver if it goes wrong again, then have the screensaver running all the time

Curses! Whelp, I'm sure someone more enlightened that I will come up with a solution for you. Have a nose around the content exchange for SAM if you haven't already while you wait, there may be something in there you can jury rig to give you a solution. Failing that, log a support call Oh, one other thing occurs to me: If…

Cheers for the backup bscherer​

Indeed it does! Have a look: Deploying an Agent I believe you have to have a license for SAM to be able to use the agents, although this may have changed in 11.5.x

Cheers andeporter​!

Further to cvachovecj‌ feedback, it's best to think about using access rights as a way to enable users to access a given module, rather than a way of restricting access. In other words, if you want someone to only have access to specific modules, then only give them access to those modules, but do not also give these users…

Is polling etc working correctly now? If so, that's good news

The spec's look OK, depending on your license level. Take a look at: Orion multi-module system guidelines Also, as you are running this on a VM, there could be resource contention on the host, which is leading to poor performance. If not, you may need to look at moving this to a host with faster CPUs.

Did you purchase a license for SRM & enigneer's toolset, or were these evaluations? If you purchased these, the licenses for them will be in your SolarWinds customer portal: Customer Portal Login | SolarWinds

robertcbrowning​ raises a good point. If you have an APE already, balancing the polling between the two would be better than pummelling one, and then moving those that are a 'poll too far' over to the primary. Adding an Additional Web Server Engine on a new server, would remove the Orion Web Console performance issues,…

Could you share which indexes were created? I'm sure many could benefit from your experiences!

Is this pretty much an automatic process? i.e once upgraded to NPM 11.5. the World Wide Map is automatically updated, assuming the check box is enabled in the web console config? I've been toying with creating some new geo maps, and since we're on NPM 11.0.1 right now I have to do it manually. If this does it automagically…

Try running the Configuration Wizard and repair the website. With NCM uninstalled, Orion should strip that out of resulting restored website. Rememeber to take note of any website customisations you have applied, such as logos, log in text etc, as they will need to be re-added once the repair is complete. This should sort…

Holy shiznit. I've been looking at ways to eliminate drill downs in the past, and that's such smegging simple way of doing it I actually /facepalmed IRL. Now to find a way to have the default page to show the Dennis Nedry hacked screensaver picture from Jurassic Park when they click it and go nowhere.....

I feel like I missed out on something awesome here....

Hey superfly99​ Do you have any screenshots you could share, showing the logic behind that limitation? I'll stick a variation of your limitation on my lab and see if I can work out why it's no longer working for you. Just a thought, have you tried deleting the limitation, recreating it, and re-assigning it?

Bit of Threadnomancy here, I was looking for a similar solution, and couldn't find one, so I constructed the below SQL query to get the info I wanted, and slapped it into an Advanced SQL report to get what I needed: SELECT NetFlowSources.cbQosEnabled, NetFlowSources.LastTime, NetFlowSources.Enabled, interfaces.caption as…

Hi mtalas​. You may be able to do this using a combination of a SQL update query and custom node properties. If you were to create a new node custom property, called "Stack_Switch", set it as a yes/no (aka 1 / 0, true/false) value, and then set the value to "No" for all switches that you do not want the poller assigned to.…
