@"kpina" - any hint link for Day 8??? 

Congrats all and happy to say afew of teh above have already helped me on our fledgling Solarwinds journey.

hare = hate

Thanks for the response Richard but in some of our environments we are handed environments that don't allow direct ccess to teh AP either ICMP or SNMP.

@"kpina" - TODAY's (Mar 29th) is broken. I clicked the right answer - the box then said "D’oh! It’s xxxxx. Hopefully you have better luck choosing your mushrooms." (I xxxx'd out the actual answer). Can you fix and then RESET please?

@"yumdarling" link for day 3 goes to SCM whereas I suspect you meant for it to go here: https://www.solarwinds.com/virtualization-manager ??

I missed this. Bookmarking to comeback and listen to when more time allows as I absolutely need to get into this.

In fact, just Google the name in the clue - for me it was 3rd answer down and as soon as I saw it I thought ah yes, that old thing I haven't had to worry about in almost 30yrs.

We've just come across this issue as well so bumped. I have to say, I am NOT impressed by a lo ot Solarwinds responses which say - create a request and we;ll implement it. So far, two key things we need are 6yrs and 16mths in the waiting with no answer from SW as to a likely timescale for when they will. yaquaholic​can I…

Ugggh and UGGH!!!! , In NA, all I need do is position my cursor where I want and hit shift-enter​. In OM, I just need to replace the variable: {{{displayName}}} with the actual name and enter at any point I need/want a new line. So that works, but man oh man - GUI's are meant to make things easier with less clicks - not…

Whereas I missed one because I can't read properly - LOL. Ready County instead of Country!

Did you get it right? I got an Oops message telling me I don't need to monitor one type, but I hadn't even selected that one type

Absolutely with you on this frustration. I do use and like SWQL Studio but it is so frustrating when there aren't enough 100/101 intros to get a total novice up and running.

LOL - what a muppet. I misread 6D as Town and COUNTY (which fits until you add other clues in) and in my excitement at getting one without having to look it up I entered it. Bzzzt WRONG. WTFreak .... oh, ok, it says countRy!!! Read, re-read and read again. Don't suppose I can have a reset pretty please @"the_ben_keen"

I have this: and then nothing since that date for answer a question - despite having all green ticks since. @"the_ben_keen"

Week 3 Day 12 link goes to a 404. Link to the answer is, I believe here: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/ARM/Content/Release_Notes/ARM_2020-2_release_notes.htm @"yumdarling" 

Heartily agree - the user permissions appear to be an all or nothing in some circumstances and desperately need to be improved as part of the security re-think/approach.

LOL but I have struggled with this today. I think I have most of them now, but stuck with 7 (I hate ITIL) and 10. 10 seems like it should be a no-brainer but ....

Any update to the unmanage utility would be huge, and should have been baked in to the GUI right from the start. I'm sure there are other similar requests out there but everyone I find I'm up voting, even though it doesn't appear to have any effect

Day 9 Hint Link not working. I used this: SolarWinds Platform and Products—Version 2024.4 is Now Generally Available!

Those are precisely the two I'm stuck on. I think I have the first word of 13 across (4 letters?) but am clueless at present for the second. And as for 4 across, not a chance of understanding that despite reading everybody's suggestions/hints/extra clues :( 

No and it isn't the word you are think of. Try another to mean the same thing...

@"li-migration" Are you truly working on upgrading / fixing Network Atlas or are you just going full tilt into 'Orion Maps' beta, which, for us, and as I've described on the page is far, far, far from ready to be used.

@"yumdarling" As with the above comments - we shouldn't have to register to a 3rd party for a purely internal to SolarWinds thing. Aside from which, the notes state: "PLEASE NOTE: you must log in with your THWACK email to successfully enter this Mission Shortcut drawing." Login to where though? As this is an external site…

@"jblankjblank" @pseudocyber @JaroslawLadyga @stuartd Please take a look at the latest Orion Maps release - An Orion Map to Success! So I took a look, and yes, it looks very nice. Buuuuuuut, I'm also a little concerned about the deprecation note on 2020.2 RC page without knowing that Orion Maps will now do all we need.…

But you can create manual dependencies and these take precedence over the automatic.

You may, like the rest of us mortals, have to go down the road of creating UnDPs for now.

 @"kpina" - the vote now button is taking me to last years battle.

I wasn't expecting one to be honest but it was a muppet move by me! Good old see what you think is there rather than reading what is actually there.
