As others have said, the best way to get the SwisPowerShell module installed is probably to simply install the OrionSDK on your server. However, since you asked a question that I have previously asked the Internet, here's the process to manually install a PowerShell module from a .nupkg file! * Download the raw .nupkg file…

Different RAID levels for different volumes on the server, depending on the function of each. For example, you might use RAID 1 on the OS partition and RAID 5 on a data partition...and then take things from there if you decide that you want/need higher levels of protection.

How about a THWACK "clue-by-four"? Too bad their HQ isn't in Kentucky, because a "Cluisville Slugger" would also be great. ;) 

OH! That's already done, my friend!

Thanks for sharing. That probably is related to how the filters are passed in the URL and doesn't fully encapsulate the ampersand. 

Fin!

I created a feature request for this. (+) Highlight Changed Fields in Orion Settings - Feature Requests - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

I'm curious about this one, too. Would you recommend un-checking the memory "volumes" in the Resource List on Linux nodes after switching to the SAM monitoring template?

That's a great tip, @"KMSigma.SWI". Can we point people to a post anywhere on THWACK that describes this approach and how to implement it?

So you're getting errors, even when using the FQDN instead of 'localhost'? (Sidebar: the site itself, on ports 80 and 443, would use either forms-based authentication, integrated Windows authentication, or SAML SSO depending on your configuration. You're using bearer authentication for the API in your screenshot. This…

You're seeing this event in the Windows Security logs of your Orion application server specifically because the "SolarWinds Job Engine v2" service is running as "Local System" account. This is different from the credentials that would be used to actually monitor nodes or applications, which is what the previously…

The URL is using TLS, and I have to assume that the certificate bound to port 17778 does not have 'localhost' listed as a SAN (subject alternate name). Unless you're already ignoring certificate validation errors in your connection setting, this could be the problem. I've also had issues in the past with accessing secure…

Wait...are you trying to monitor time on all 7k+ workstations??

Are you trying to show these within an alert, such as an email alert? Is it showing nothing at all, or just not rendering as a URL?

Not a user, but interesting to read some of these.

Oh, and thanks for that handy link!

Thanks for the explanation, @"KMSigma.SWI"!

SAM ships with a monitoring template called "Server Clock Drift (PowerShell)" that may cover what you are looking for. It wouldn't compare your DCs directly to each other, but to another specified time server. The nice thing is, the script in the monitor template can be configured to use your PDCe (domain controller with…

I've been thinking about creating an API monitor for my domain registrations expiration date and name servers, and one for my public certificates -- even though all of these services generally do a good job of alerting you when necessary.

Going with the "too many tools" answer, I would expand on that to say that even having just 2 or 3 tools creates challenges. They can include finding ways to normalize and collate the data, consolidating alert management, and also dealing with differing priorities (or even politics) when different teams own different tools.

Ah, thank you for posting!

I have looked online and I can't find this exact issue and a working solution. It's odd that the script works fine…

Have you already fulfilled levels one and two of the CMMC model? How familiar are you with the span of the model? The first levels are focused on performing and documenting proper cyber security hygiene practices. Level 3 indicates that your organization has implemented the required practices and is actively monitoring…

I don't know if it is possible to install the primary polling engine without the web site, but this could potentially be mitigated by only allowing your Orion users to reach the additional web server (by using network and Windows firewall rules, and/or IP restrictions in IIS). I wonder if this would satisfy the directive…
