Fab stuff @"bobmarley" - I'm certain we can find a use for this.

Network Atlas is one of those products that is great at what it does but only so far. Little issues like liens touching borders, etc is just one. A kludge to "sort" that would be to add an object ([right click - add object] say a circle) and join your links to that, then after you've finished, add your building icon over…

To limit the report then probably the easiest way is to assign the devices a custom property, and then in the logic of your query you restrict it to just those with that custom property set. You'd almost certainly have to do this with a Custom Query widget if using a widget, or in SWQL if as a report.

What precisely are you looking for in the report - as in, is it just the number of ports or do you want it to go to the level of interface 1/1/23 is unplugged/down/?? Also, what modules do you have outside of NPM? Do you flood monitor every interface or take a more selective approach, as we do, and only monitor interfaces…

Unfortunately not - there are times I have wanted additional filter capabilities in other areas but the numbers are hard coded. You could add a Feature Request here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/i/feature-requests 

You can change what it appears as. Fortinets do this all the time because they have a wireless capability built-in so SolarWinds typically assigns it teh "view" of a WLC and so on the node page you see; My_Firewall_Name Controller. To sort, go into Edit Node and just below the Name / IP section you should see this: Just…

From the Home Menu / Lines you need to select the line too of choice: and set your preferred width, type, etc Then simply click on the unlinked icon and then click on the cloud and you'll see the link appear. Next, still on the home tab click back on the arrow otherwise you'll just keep trying to add more lines. Once you…

They (SolarWinds) have been aware for well over 2yrs that OM is not a replacement for NA and some drastic updates need to happen to get it to a state where it is even usable. I have as loudly as I can made it very clear that OM is not a "fit for deployment" product and whilst NA is on the 'to be deprecated' list, it in no…

This is a direct copy of your question here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/forum/97488/how-can-i-add-down-date-and-time-and-duration just using different words. Have you tried my suggestions in that thread?

Then this: If not natively recognised, then you will need to identify the health sensor/s OID/s and build UnDPs (and alerts if you also want to alert) to monitor them. applies.

How are you monitoring the node? Presumably via SNMP or agent, and in which case if they have health sensors that are identifiable by SolarWInds you just need to go into List Resources and enable the health sensor there... If not natively recognised, then you will need to identify the health sensor/s OID/s and build UnDPs…

OK - so I don't have or use APM so can't explicitly answer. For me, what I would do is open SWQL Studio, then navigate to the orion.apm.component table and search through the various fields there to identify if your required data is available (it might be available via the implicit joins). Once you've identified the…

Ouch - that probably took some time then.

How are you producing this? Can you show us your S(W)QL code or a screenshot of your reports logic?

This reply is dangerous (if the device is not backed up and/or in live use) but more pertinent it has nothing to do with the Ops question on Access Points. 

You most certainly can do this in Network Atlas - we have done it many, many times and recently.

The exam "environment" is pants and I struggled to find my actual pass mark when I did my NPM SCP earlier this year. I ended up taking a screenshot (despite being told I mustn't ) and looked, and looked but it wasn't there. You should get a "diagnostics report" but if not, then reach out to: certification@solarwinds.com -…

OM does not do single direction interfaces - he says yet in great hope that they introduce this feature real soon. But what you should be able to do, is create a fake interface at the far end by doing the usual select the two objects and click on the link as per normal. Then when configuring the interfaces simply select…

Presumably you are talking about heat maps in Network Atlas as I'm pretty sure Orion Maps can't do this (along with a lot of other things) yet. But I can't help with the error other than to suggest disabling it and re-enabling. If that doesn't work, disable then restart your Orion services and then re-enable. That said, it…

Yes we see this in our environment. In our early days I put it down to the DB being slow to catchup but as we've expanded and added APEs (many), multiple web servers and a load balanced frontend then for us it is more likely to be a localised cache issue, or cache on one of the web servers that hasn't caught up. To prove…

If you are talking about the Orion Maps widget (as opposed to the older but still present Network Atlas map widget), then no, you can't assign multiple maps to their group names and have the appropriate one appear on the appropriate group / page. Sadly SOLW have known about this shortcoming (the whole of Orion Maps is a…

What do you mean by "disappeared" ? Looking at a basic alert on volumes then for status (as an example) I could monitor for these: But you need to define what you mean by disappeared please?

The beauty of SWQL, as I understand it, is that unless you delve into the verbs then you can't break anything. BUT you can grind your DB to a standstill so, using your words, don't do "too much". Don't be scared of JOINs - 2yrs ago I knew about them but hadn't a clue on how to use them and then I got into them and I am…

Do let us know how you get on....

Yes, same situation as us and we rolled that environment back to 2022.3 The other (large) environment that we have on 2022.4 has 2 of our APEs with the above message, but the rest are fine. Like you say - we started the services and they seemed to be working.

Yes - we have had a case open with support since Friday for a system down because of this. As they were unable to fix it, we are in the process of restoring our server back to the prior version. If you haven't already then I strongly suggest you open a call with support.

Ha .. well I'm no expert in S(W)QL and it depends on how you want to display or filter them, but as an example, create your query and then in the WHERE statement it could be something like: WHERE IP_Address LIKE '10.1.%' ((AND cp.Building LIKE ''%xyz%' ) OR (cp.City LIKE '%abc%')) If you just want them to appear in your…

We've not actually done this for any of our Nexus kit (let alone a 7k), but I suspect the way forward is that you would need to build a UnDP for the OID. Having just looked. the first hurdle you are going to hit is that this OID results in a table in our system, and I personally have never had any success in creating a…

Hey, I understand your frustration but THWACK is predominantly a community forum which gets visited by SolarWinds employees. It isn't a guaranteed place to report problems, faults, etc - which is frustrating. Believe me, I understand this especially when they constantly point you here for solutions and support. Anyway, the…

HI David - did you find a workaround to this by any chance?
