Am I the only one who sees the demo site in a mix match of languages.

Bump!

For what's an enterprise level platform, it seems solarwinds are a bit detached from the realities of some environments. Not everyone can/wants to leave all ports open across links. Firewalls, Natting.... This causes problems and lost monitoring options. Rules out monitoring of clusters as SNMP may not respond as the…

This should be an out of the box feature for all Solarwinds products.

Have never actually seen the central upgrade work on any environment, there's always been some sort of issue. Currently doing another batch of upgrades and the first environment that doing an upgrade on looks like another failure to work. Performing an upgrade to 2024.1 The main poller upgraded and after config wizard…

May depend on how you've setup the custom property account limitation, It looks like your actually searching for that whole string. Try removing all the text you added in the limitation and add in Infoblox% only. If that gives you what you want then can try adding in an OR between your classes Infoblox OR Large router OR…

you're in luck SELECT CASE WHEN PollingUsage.CurrentUsage < 75 THEN 'OK' WHEN PollingUsage.CurrentUsage > 75 THEN 'Warning' END AS [STATUS], Engines.DisplayName AS [POLLER], PollingUsage.ScaleFactor AS [PollingEngineType], PollingUsage.CurrentUsage AS [% of Max Rate] FROM Orion.PollingUsage INNER JOIN Orion.Engines ON…

can use the category as limitation. If don't have custom property as the view limitation ie Adding the PONumber custom property as limitation. vs on orion server Now you should see the limitation as option to select.

using SNMP sweep should give you what you want. Add all the Ip addresses you want to check into a file setup the 23 SNMP credentials you want to test scan the systems will get details from any server that responds to SNMP and the name of credentials it uses.

if want to do some quick testing on SWQL, change your web link to end with /Orion/admin/swis.aspx Clear and paste in the query for some basic info. SELECT Nodes.DisplayName, OSUpdates.DisplayName, OSUpdates.InstallDate, OSUpdates.InstalledBy, OSUpdates.Name, OSUpdates.Type, OSUpdates.Url FROM Orion.AssetInventory.OSUpdates…

SELECT CASE WHEN PollingUsage.CurrentUsage < 75 THEN 'OK' WHEN PollingUsage.CurrentUsage > 75 THEN 'Warning' END AS [STATUS], Engines.DisplayName AS [POLLER], PollingUsage.ScaleFactor AS [Polling Engine], PollingUsage.CurrentUsage AS [% of Max Rate] FROM Orion.PollingUsage INNER JOIN Orion.Engines ON…

don't have any 4.1 devices but if recall right NPM uses SNMP only for volumes and interfaces and the API for the rest. If its interfaces and volumes that your missing then would look there. if edit node shows a successful test and still don't see anything, check with a different SNMP tool incase issue with Orion's query.…

Is SolarWinds purposely trying to alienate some of the best supporters of the product - that would be the loyal technical users who create & share ideas/solutions, the very ones that use and promote the product, participate in pre-release testing, who overall contribute to the platform growth which in turn brings in more…

Could monitor each cluster node for local resources only Clustered resource for shared resources only server 1 cpu,memory,local disks/resources server 2 cpu,memory,local disks/resources Cluster VIP cpu,memory,shared disks/resources the snmp system name will be returned as the clustered node the resource sits on so If the…

Yes you'll need new licences if you've added in a new poller and they are expensive. You need licences for the Orion module you are using NPM, SAM, NTA, etc... and they have various levels from few hundred up to unlimited for certain modules. If you add a new poller then you need an Orion Additional Polling Engine licence.…

Not sure exactly what you want to achieve, maybe try a custom query resource on your page that groups the hosts and guests and then restrict it on hosts for location so you can see what guests are hosted on what locations SELECT Hosts.Hostname, VirtualMachines.DisplayName FROM Orion.VIM.VirtualMachines INNER JOIN…

Basic with no external programming you could create custom property Environment Create an alert which changes custom property action Trigger Condition Trigger action change the frequency of the alert evaluation Create new alert for each of the prefixes you want.

Can you see hardware information in the VMWare client or do they show as unknown

Can you Telnet from the poller to the servers CIM port - 5989 Does the test for VMWare Polling Settings pass

if looking to confirm that the poller can access networks device with SNMP then use SNMP Sweep from the Engineers toolset if you have it, add in the IP's you want and the strings to test. If don't have that then try the free port scanner and scan for udp port 161 to see if you can access the port. As long as not showing as…

have a look at this page for adding custom properties. Add custom properties to nodes Create a custom property in the nodes table called something like Customer, you can use the import/export options to allow you to update the nodes with the custom name or do it via the manege nodes/edit options. any reports or limitations…

Have seen this a number of times were unknown devices will change to wireless controller

By adding a custom html resource to the page and adding the Pingdom snippet to this its possible to collect some stats into Pingdom, and although it doesn't work if using a load balanced web farm it does provide details of all web servers and means that the code is kept in the Database rather than having to update an…

The AppInsight is a great addition in being able to monitor other key elements of the infrastructure. The problem with these for a MSP is that, if they require WMI then it's not possible to utilise them. Can't expect the MSP/Customer firewalls to be open for all ports so as to support wmi, nor is any customer going to…
