The IPAM (IP Address Manager) module or UDT (User Device Tracker) Module may be worth a look for this use case. IP Address Management Software - IPAM Solution | SolarWinds Network User Device Tracking Software | SolarWinds

Check out Schedule "Pause all alert actions" checkbox - Feature Requests - Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com) In the comments there are some ideas on how to do the pause with a script.

You can create a custom SAM component monitor using PowerShell to grab whatever you like. The syntax (like Serial) will go into the Message portion of the polled result. This is a well documented example File & Folder Details (PowerShell) - Application Monitor Templates - Server & Application Monitor - THWACK…

Would be a good idea to open a support ticket at this point. Support will likely want an SNMPwalk Run SolarWinds SNMP Walk to compare. That switch model was specifically supported in the 2020.2 release. Supported vendors and devices added in Orion Platform 2020.2 (solarwinds.com) 

What is the vendor and model of the switch? Could easily be that the switch IOS needs to be updated. Orion is grabbing the statistics from SNMP. The SNMP OID that it is using may need to be changed for this specific switch. You can do an SNMP walk and compare which OID is being used. CPU and memory utilization Object IDs…

Looks like the data is updated when the suite is updated. You can always look up the info and add it in manually. How to use the EoL/EoS Feature in NCM - Product Blog - Resources - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

Upgraded to log4j 2.17.1 manually per SolarWinds instructions without issues. As of Dec 28th SAM is tested up to 2.17.1 Server & Application Monitor (SAM) and the Apache Log4j Vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046, and CVE-2021-4104 (solarwinds.com)

Pls try the second link. The first link was for SAM which is a different module. SAM is very versatile but you may still be able to get what you like by looking at Netpath.

That is more of a function of the SAM Module. How to Setup HTTP/HTTPS Monitor in SAM (solarwinds.com) However you could use NetPath to setup a monitoring check. NetPath - Easy Visual Network Path Analysis | SolarWinds

Orion Development is constantly optimizing the database as new modules are added and the suite matures. Custom Properties are a good example of data that was once module-specific. Over the years new common tables for CustomProperities provided us with standardization and better integration. Some of the legacy tables are…

Yes, try using copying and using the "High CPU Utilization with Top 10 Processes" / "High Physical Memory Utilization with Top 10 Processes" / "High Virtual Memory Utilization with Top 10 Processes". Copy those out-of-the-box Alerts and tweak them for your environment. 

Not just you, We are having the same error with the PowerShell scripts for O365 Service Health.

The NPM license count will be for all the nodes, interfaces, and volumes in Orion. If you have the SL250 license and have 250 nodes in order to monitor an additional node you will need to delete a node then add in the new one.

Yes, that is what I would recommend using the sizing document referenced above. That document will give you the specifics of what each VM will need to be for the database and the application server. For Kiwi refer to its' documentation - Kiwi Syslog Server 9.6.7 system requirements (solarwinds.com)

There is a separate requirement document for multiple module installs. I would install Kiwi and Network Topology Mapper on its' own server they are not a part of the suite. NPM, NTA, UDT, all together on one server with a separate server for your database. Multi-module system guidelines for the Orion Platform…

Those instructions will work great for the regular classic View.

This is great Marc, Any help on how I can add in the IPAM IP custom properties that we have in IPAM? 

In your trigger scope change the scope to the component you are looking for then add a check for a specific status. 

The best Perfstack feature is the autocorrelation to related metrics. Saves a heap of time searching for affected elements. 

This is configurable and depends on the modules that you own. For the overall environment, as an administrator open Settings, All Settings, Polling Settings and check out the Database Settings. Default database retention settings for the Orion Platform (solarwinds.com)

You could create a P1, P2 and P3 alert and use complex conditions to trigger the P2 and P3 alert if multiple servers/ applications are showing the condition. In trigger conditions click on Advanced options. Build complex conditions in the Orion Platform (solarwinds.com)

The SAM Windows Scheduled Tasks Monitor is an all-or-nothing type of monitor. You do not have the ability to select only specific ones to monitor. You can use a Powershell monitor to do the same type of check if you want to be more specific. @"mmorrison" has a great script here that we used to get a start.…

Add in a condition to the WHERE condition like AND [VolumesForecastCapacity].Volume.Type = 'Fixed Disk' or you could use AND [VolumesForecastCapacity].InstanceCaption not like '%Memory%' I also like to add a custom property to the Volumes to specifically call out disks that should be ignored from the alert. (Like self…

Could be those are referring to the old Syslog tables and not the new Log Manager ones, not sure. I usually don't use the out-of-the-box resources and instead create my own. Try adding a custom table and adding the information you are looking for in a report. Example

One of my general approaches is to watch specific running processes as required by the service owner. You can do this by running a Real-Time Process Explorer on the agent and choosing the process you want to start watching to create an application template or use the SAM Component Monitor Wizard to select multiple…
