Sadly when it comes to encryption and cipher levels, SolarWinds tends to lag behind. I see this most often in configuring NCM backups where the cipher is at too new a level and the answer is to downgrade the level to one that they do currently support. This…

Because you are dealing with Groups, there is no obvious (that I can see) link between groups and nodes where you need to be able to pull items like vendor and machine type from... So you need to flip the thinking or SWQL logic and start at the groups level and work to JOIN in nodes. I think the following code will get you…

Can you clarify what you are looking to do? My understanding based on your question is yes, you can map any port to any other port in network atlas or Orion maps. Will that be automatic, then the answer to that is probably no but manual is very much achievable.

As you've not had an answer here, then I suggest you reach out to your customer support manager and ask them. They should be able to enquire internally and get back to you.

Not a SQL/SWQL guru by any imagination but what is the SF bit in the SELECT line? Also, to be clear on what you want ...? Did you want... * a list of nodes listed per group * or a widget on each node page showing what groups it is in * or something else? A simple query we use to show what maps a node exists on is - and in…

Current release is 2023.4.2.

No. At least not as I understand it. You have to ensure the switch matches one of the algorithms that SolarWinds understands. To see those check out the 'advanced test' (found via 'Edit Properties') which is at the bottom of the 'Connection Profile' section: That will open a new tab and you can see all the encryption, key…

Then it sounds to me like you already have the start of your solution. Just duplicate and adapt your current CPU alert to do similar for CPU.

I don't have the details to hand right now, but I did just this as Marc suggests using OIDs and a UnDP.

We don't have any OpenGear kit here to verify but it sounds like the key exchange algorithm is too new on the OG side. We have similar issues on the newer firmware for HPE kit and the newer FortiOS. For the HPE we have to downgrade the key exchange to one that SolarWinds can do and with FortiOS that isn't a possibility so…

Hi ... Report Writer is now a deprecated tool and is no longer used, and it was physically removed in version 2020.2. Any report should now be created via the Web GUI. If you are still running an older version (i.e. pre 2020.2) then I strongly encourage you to move to a more recent version as various bugs and CVE's have…

I presume you are talking about the Top 10 menu item under My Dashboards? On that basis, then I have found out that this menu/widget is not editable by us, but there are two (that I can see) possible ways to achieve this. The first is to submit a Feature Request over here: The SolarWinds Platform Feature Requests but that…

I am not a coder by any stretch of the imagination, but when I've used adddate (or similar) then the first > has always been the other way around i.e. <. So your line, if I was typing it would read: "DateTime < adddate('minute',-30,getdate())"

We don't use or trust syslog as that is akin to throwing a message taped to a brick over a fence. Secondly, I thoroughly dislike that SolarWinds took a free product "Trap Manager" that actually worked and had some value, then rebuilt it and offered it as another product you have to pay for to get most (but not all)…

I know this is a late response but just in case you didn't find the answer then ... First a caveat. As far as I know this only works for tables or charts and not for KPI type widgets. By KPI I mean a widget that just returns a number such as the number of down nodes - there is no option that I can see or have found that…

OK thanks. You may wish to know that SolarWInds doesn't always show the genuine state of that interface. I've discovered this the hard way and it is why I'm trying to find a way through the mud. I've seen instances where I know the VPN is down or disabled and it still shows as up in list resources. I've verified this by…

Presumably you are .. a. using this code in a custom SWQL alert and b. under List Resources for each Fortinet you have ticked the "VPN interfaces" Because if not I'm confused as to where the code is used and what it is doing - not hard for me but be good to see your detail around this?

If you look at the release notes you can see quite a few things were broken and have been fixed. One of the big ones for us was getting randomly logged out of an active SolarWinds session.

Yes I know. I wasn't accusing you just saying it must be the online installer you've grabbed. Whether by accident or by error on the SolarWinds side I can't say, but that's what you have. I'd just redownload it. The size of the installer for 2023.4.2 can be seen in my screenshot above.

Then it appears you've downloaded the wrong installer.

Have you done as I suggested above and edited the report. It might be worth you doing what I have done. Also, try firing up SWQL Studio and copy the code into that to see what is/isn't happening.

I am currently downloading the offline installer and the entire ISO is 4.1Gb. Once I mount it and see the individual files they will naturally be a lot smaller. And you do have the installer in the screenshot you shared - it's called SolarWindsInstaller.exe - just double-click that and the install will run. In my case (not…

You'd be better advised to go to 2023.4.2 - quite a few bugs and/or issues in 2023.3. And I can verify the offline installer for that was complete when we downloaded and used it.

This is >4yrs old but see the resolution as that might help your case as well: NCM backup failed ERROR: Running config: Configuration post processing error.See NcmBusinessLayerPlugin and DPE logs 

A word of caution on this... If you go to the Fortinet FW and do a List Resources then you will likely see all your VPN's there. Now, you could tick the box next to the ones you want to monitor but this pseudo interface does not show you the true state of the VPN. I am in an ongoing battle with Fortinet to get an answer…

I suspect you will need to do some SWQL coding for this and have a timeframe in the WHERE clause. Apologies but it's beyond my coding skill level.

Interesting - we have the same report that @"BlackAlexa" so am wondering if we picked it up from the Content Exchange. Anyway, I put the query in it into SWQL Studio and it throws up the following error: By a process of trial and elimination the final line AND NcmEntityPhysical.EntityClass = 3 is causing the error but not…

Hi Nicholas ... What would be useful is if you could share/confirm which report you are running? If it isn't an 'out of the box' one then please also provide the code or logic of the report?

You need to enable monitoring on the individual interfaces in the port channel as well as the PCh itself. Then they will alert based on your interface alerts. e.g. if we have G1/1 and G2/1 in a Port-Channel1 then we would monito all 3 interfaces - 2 physical and 1 virtual - as an interface. Just select them via List…
