I'm in. Emailed!

Just installed 2019.2 (NPM, NCM, IPAM, SAM, SRM, VMAN) yesterday without any issues. It took longer than expected, but the centralized update process worked well otherwise. The one thing that I did beforehand was manually install .NET Framework 4.8 on all of my servers (PE, APE, AWS) and then reboot each of them before…

Not that I'm aware of. That would be a great feature request to submit.

Your best path for this would be to open a support case via https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/home or SolarWinds Contact Us .

I'm setting up an OpsGenie trial right now. The feature set looks pretty sweet after having managed scheduling, rotation, and weekly changes manually! I'm curious if there is a way to use the OpsGenie API for "Who is On Call" to show the current on-call person[s] in a custom resource on an Orion page.

If you configure this PowerShell component monitor in your application template to inherit its credential from the node, the node's credentials should pass through to the ${CREDENTIAL} variable without problem.

There's got to be several ways of doing this either trough the NSR command set, API, polling logs, or possibly by sending job status emails to Orion. I'll check with my Networker expert here. Do you use DPA?

Are you still trying to solve this? Feel free to post the contents of your HTTPS POST action configuration from the alert and we can review it.

Great question. I have also noticed that whenever a polling engine restarts, all agent-managed nodes are alerted as down or unknown, followed by a reset notification. It's....messy.

If you manually run ping or nslookup tests from those servers (command prompt or PowerShell), do your tests also fail? My first guess is that your domains are missing configuration for conditional forwarders, and/or unconditional forwarders, and/or recursive DNS lookups. Check with your DNS administrator for validation of…

There are quite a few conversations (with answers) about how to do this. Have you searched the Thwack forums yet? https://thwack.solarwinds.com/search.jspa?q=unmanage%20nodes%20powershell 

Role Based Access Control:

Can you post what you have so far in your script monitor? (Leaving out specific user credentials and hostnames.)

Try writing the results before your exit statement, using this format--it's the only way that I've gotten a PowerShell script monitor to provide a metric to Orion so far: Write-Host 'Statistic.Status: '$result1

Probably a combination of: * Putting all of the above into a group (or groups) * Creating dependencies * Creating a custom map, if desired You might make each of the application pool's nodes dependent upon the load balancer to start, or create a group that contains the nodes, and make that group dependent upon the load…

My wife says that I'm "special" and I haven't even been tested yet!

Did you ensure that your EmailTo property was create as a Node custom property? Sorry if this is old info for you, but custom properties can be assigned to Nodes, Applications, or to other object types. That might explain why you don't see the property. Super basic troubleshooting steps that you may have already done: *…

Go to your 'Manage Alerts' page at [https://OrionServerURL/Orion/Alerts/Default.aspx] and find these alerts in the list. All you have to do is click the On/Off toggle.

It sounds like your nodes were set to unmanaged. Have you checked this possibility?

Open a case with Solarwinds support at https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/home or SolarWinds Contact Us .

Woah, that would be cool. Weird that support told you it was doable, but did not provide an example or documentation.

You should be able to pass the variable ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.Caption} to your PowerShell command line parameters or into a PowerShell script as a parameter. If you need the FQDN, then try using ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.DNS}. Your reference to the SysName will probably work sometimes, but a lot of us have found it to be less…

I've been thinking about replacing the OOB alert with a copy that removes one condition from the triggers: * Auto-Import is equal to Yes We have auto-import disabled, so it would be nice to see in the email a list of discovered nodes that might need to be imported. It looks like adding any further detail to the trigger…

There are several variables that you can use to show the mount point label in your alert configuration's message. I use ${N=SwisEntity;M=FullName} in my volume alerts. You may want to change your alert configuration to monitor the object type "volume" instead of the object type "VM". Otherwise, you will have to use SWQL…

A good starting point, in addition to watching kasaff​ and adatole​'s session, might be to assign the "Orion Server" application monitor template to your Orion servers. The actual template name is still "Orion Server 2017.3" in my environment, even though we've upgraded to the SAM 6.7.1 / 2018.4 release. Be aware that if…

Dude, this is GREAT! Thanks for sharing.

Are you looking to change the default temperature threshold or the temperature units of measurement?

Others have need that RabbitMQ requires .NET 3.5 installed. Try installing and completely patching that, reboot, and then run this again.

You should be fine if you run the RabbitMQ installer by itself first, let it reboot, and then go back to run the full Solarwinds Orion installer.
