I have had occasions where the node(s) take time to populate into the DB - even though we had got the same message as you. In one case I had to wait until the following day, but that was a good few years ago. Are the nodes still not visible now?

High CPU utilisation do you mean? In which case you need to use a different memory & cpu poller under list resources. Or you could find and open the 'SolarWinds Poller Checker GUI' (if on an appropriate version, otherwise it is a standalone app) and navigate through that and change your mem/CPU poller. We use one entitled…

I find Mibs.Observium to be very useful in these situations. Try this page.

The simplest way would be to run a report or two, for e.g. CPU Load - Last Month". However, you will need to edit this (I suggest duplicate & edit) to push it out to the six months you need. Caveat...if your retention settings don't allow for 6 months of data to be stored then you won't get the last 6 months. And then in…

I'd be more than happy to utilise a 2FA to access THWACK. Pretty much kills off spambots.

Can you expand on your request. I presume you are already seeing a report/query for NCM nodes. But which one?

For points 2 & 3 you need to link to a table that shows the node names, something like Orion.Nodes would do. As I don't see any inherent links in the Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItemBase object then you'll need to do a join. Something like this should work: SELECT N.Caption ,I.Name ,I.Value ,I.FullyQualifiedName…

Ahh gotcha... sounds like a real pain in the bum! I presume you've raised a ticket via support and they've been their usual 'chocolate teapot' of help? I can't say I've witnessed the device type resetting, or is that reverting, in our 5 SolarWinds environments, but that equally doesn't mean jack.

Yup - I've found Shift +Click doesn't work - I HAVE to use Ctrl +Click or click drag the mouse to cove both objects.

Now that is odd. We don't have an Extreme gear here so I can't compare - only got Cisco, Aruba, Meraki and Juniper APs and having checked they are appearing 'as expected. Possibly a quirk with the Extreme to SolarWinds interaction or even a bug. Probably time to open a ticket with support.

What makes you think they are appearing as interfaces? Are you trying to view them via the 'Wireless' menu? If so, then what you are seeing is Thin APs as 'advertised' by their WLC. In other words, the WLC(s) have been added to SolarWinds as full SNMP readable nodes, and SolarWinds then queries the WLC for the list of APs…

What version of SWI are you running? We are on 2023.3.1 and our 1002-Xs are still showing fine. I suggest opening a ticket with SolarWinds.

I'm not sure I 100% follow your problem but yes, you can set the default view type by 'device type'. Go to Settings > All Settings and scroll down to the Views section and then click on Views by Device Type. Once that page loads, scroll through to find your device type e.g. Catalyst 9300 and then set it to your preferred…

Can you share your current code/logic for the report, as this is not a default report (well it isn't in our environment) as far as I can see? I'm no SWQL guru but might be able to spot where you can adapt it to get what you want.

That wouldn't work as 'LastUpdate' exists in both your tables so you'd need to specify which one to look at. This would work: WHERE [DownThinAPs].LastUpdate >= ADDHOUR(-168, GETUTCDATE())

This is the behaviour that SolarWInds has opted to undertake - sadly. But there are workarounds. In Network Atlas, just draw as many lines as you want between the nodes in question, then right-click on a line, select 'properties' and then assign the relevant interfaces to each end of the conversation. In NA you could…

Those are built-in widgets I believe, and there is no way to order them. What you will need to do is add "Custom Query" widgets, and then build out your own query in which you can use 'ORDER BY'

Following as I'd be interested in this as well. Using "List Resources" to identify VPN's was never a go on any version of FortiOS as SWI was clearly picking up the wrong info and showing, in a number of our FWs that the VPNs were up (or even down) when that quite simply wasn't the case. I then entered into a lengthy…

 >> We have dual fiber lines to each site from our data center This is our preferred approach as well - but OM just adds each new link on top of each other and expects you to know that there are multiple links. What we do is utilise a small circle or some other form of graphic - your choice and manually create the links.…

Yes - that is Orin Maps or OM or just Maps. Try the Ctrl +Click approach to multi-select. When you drag, you have to ensure you drag over the entirety of the icons dimensions. Topography shouldn't 'bog down' SWI but you can also adjust the time "between" checks.

I don't see a manual way to add connections to the map. [/quote]You need to have…

Just remember that depending on where you have the widget it may have a global change consequence. If the widget is on a platform wide page, then it will edit across all views that are included. 

In which case I'll leave you with support. Have you asked them to escalate the issue or contacted your CSM to see if they can?

Is this a map you've created yourselves and is the heading "embedded" into the map, or the actual title in the widget? If the widget, then you just need to have relevant platform permissions and click on the edit box top right: and then simply edit the title as you desire..

As @"superfly" states there isn't a way ....yet. Over on the NA Deprecation Reminder thread, one of the PM's has stated that they have a POC done but are working on making OM able to do what NA can.

LOL - "not fond of". I have gone so far as to tell SolarWInds PM's that they aren't fit for purpose and I detest them with a passion. But, when you say "display my Network Atlas Maps in the Orion Platform Map" do you mean you want your older Network Atlas maps to show in place of the newer style Orion Maps... as in within…

Do you have SAM installed? My understanding is that if you do NOT have SAM, then the JMX Bridge services won't start and is working 'as expected'. But I'm hoping support would have already established this basic bit of info.

I second @"mesverrum" thought about contacting Dell support. We had a similar issue with some HPE/Aruba kit where we had to change the ssh2 algorithms. This was to do with backups and accessing via SSH but it might be worth digging in to what security / encryption / algorithms the Dells are using as a default and then…

I presume you are using v3 then as that is always tough to configure. First off I'd prove you can talk via SNMP to the device by trying v2. Once you know that works then look to configure v3 which will most likely be a matter of getting the right encryption/auth levels sorted. Good luck.
