Short answer is no - that is on the presumption you are only monitoring the AP through the WLC. If you've also added the AP as a standalone node (IP Only), then yes you'd just add it as a node.

As @"jm_sysadmin" asks - do you have access to the customer portal as there is a host of training supplied there,. But in terms of what you want then no, I don't believe there is one single course / document that does a basic overview. We created a bespoke internal knowledge transfer session, but it is not shareable, that…

The 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356 is the start of the Fortinet OID tree and so that fits. As I said above, we don't have a specific template for the 500's, we use the default SolarWInds supplied one. It is just called 'Fortigate'. If that isn't working then you could try this…

Is this for retrieving the config? We don't have any 501's but we do have 500's (as well as plenty of other models), and find the default 'Fortigate' template to work just fine for that. Have you tried that?

If SolarWInds doesn't have this natively, then my understanding is that the best approach is to find the OID that is relevant to your needs. Then you build a UnDP to 'poll' that OID and then build your alert on that. See here for building the alert based off of a custom poller and here for creating a UnDP.

In this instance it is probably best to reach out to support.

And replying to myself because I can. As we do a rolling 7 day backup process then I just added: AND AttemptedDownloadTime >= GETDATE()-7 Which only shows me any failures in the last 7 days.

@"mnsh_majumder" nice. Any idea how you'd narrow it down to only show the last attempted backup? Using DISTINCT doesn't work, so the query needs to include the most recent date that it didn't complete - not all of them.

So what happens when you click the link? Does it do anything at all - i.e. does it attempt to go and just reload (as if an ad blocker was stopping it)? Does the URL show up when you hover? Have you tried other browsers? Also have you checked the link itself is still valid?

I don't have APM so I can't provide a 100% answer but you need to find a commonality between the two tables. Typically that would be NodeID or similar. On the presumption that NodeID is a commonality between the two tables then try this: Change your FROM line to read: FROM Orion.APM.SqlServerApplication AS n Then follow…

Do you already have the widget created? Then all you should need do edit the SWQL to filter that with the statuses of 3 (warning) and 14 (critical).

What does the report logic look like please?

This is the alert we have for flapping interfaces.... Adjust adjust the figures to suit yourself but above 'as is' will trigger an alert if an interface goes down 5 times in 1hr. If you want to narrow it down to a specific interface(s) then you will need to create a WHERE filter to select them. If it's based on a custom…

You can check your current retention settings here: * Settings > All Settings > Thresholds & Polling > Polling Settings Then scroll down to retention settings and see what they say. Be aware that if you change these settings you could adversely affect your DB usage and cause exponential growth in its size. As to the report…

Contact your SolarWinds customer manager, or you could try a company like Prosperon and see if they have a resource that could assist.

The standard approach for this type of thing is to create a UnDP which extracts the information and then run a report against the UnDP. The problem you'll have is identifying the relevant OID from the Fortinet MIB. A quick Google suggests this OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.6.3.1.2 aka fgLicContractTable should provide…

I've not come across this myself. Might be worth raising a call with support...?

I've found (in most cases) that w3schools is useful for this sort of thing. Check out: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_where.asp But in your case try: WHERE UniqueName LIKE '%INSERT_YOUR_SELECTION%' or if you want to put the precise name then: WHERE UniqueName = 'INSERT_YOUR_NAME'

Hi - you say you want a config summary dashboard but the above screenshot is from a more general node health setup. So just to clarify what is it you are looking for? And have you checked the modern dashboards content exchange area to see if something is already there?…

I've always loved the power, flexibility and ease of Notepad++ for comparing. So as per @"dclick" suggestion, export all your nodes and then paste them into a tab in Notepad++. Then do the same for your current known list (from a CMDB or similar) and then run the compare. plugin (which you will need to have also installed…

I've not tried this myself, but a custom query widget should get you want you want. If you are looking for SolarWinds to change NPM's default view, then you'll need to post a feature request, here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/i/feature-requests 

I can do you one for everything but the type. SELECT Name, Description, Enabled, ObjectType FROM Orion.AlertDefinitions WHERE Enabled = 'True' Add to a new report > custom table and change the dropdown to 'Advanced DB Query' and then paste in the above code. Then add all the fields in the resource section and drag/drop to…

Or you can run: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass which also allows you to get past the error.

That SWQL is much more elegant and beyond my skills to create but at least I can follow it - but happy to have pushed you in the right direction

Personally speaking I'd be looking at deploying the latest version to the new servers and then migrate the data (nodes, etc) across, rather than trying to get an old one upgraded. The reason I state this is that I'm not sure there is an upgrade path from SQL 2008 to the minimum now of SQL 2016 - that's the first hurdle.…

Did you mean this setting: If so, then I can do you a query that shows the devices that ARE configured: SELECT s.NodeID, n.Caption, n.Description, s.SettingName, s.SettingValue, s.NodeSettingID FROM Orion.NodeSettings AS s JOIN Orion.Nodes AS n ON s.NodeID = n.NodeID WHERE n.Description LIKE '%Nexus%' AND SettingName =…

We have ASR 1000 series and they back up with a standard SSH user and auto-determined device template. The template it appears to use is just Cisco IOS. Usually if you can logon then the issue is related to the device template, so what device template are you using?

Have you tried a MIB walk of the device to see what it returns? Does it include any of the OIDs above?

Hi Ravi. First of all, if I follow what you are asking, you need to understand that at its most basic SolarWinds alerts only on alerts that have been configured. So basic alerts (let's call them standard alerts - as in you'd expect to have these) are all a one hit and done. Some alerts that would fall in to this might be:…
