  • Scheduled maintenance mode is a common feature in most Enterprise monitoring tools....how is it that this is not available in Solarwinds? Daily we need to 'silence' several devices that are shut down every day Weekly there is scheduled maintenance jobs that require nodes to be silenced. We are migrating from Spectrum to…

  • This looks really promising. I'll dig into it, and test, and report back. Thanks so much for the pointer. SteveT
    in Assigning custom node property to all nodes in a group? Comment by sturk22 September 2018
  • David, the dynamic queries are simple system name filters (SystemName begins with , SystemName contains) Orion object is Node. Since we have a standard naming convention this allows us to group nodes by location and device type (router/firewall/switch/accessPoint) I'm not understanding the 'alert to setting custom…

  • I finally got something close with a custom SWQL: SELECT g.Name , g.detailsURL as [_Linkfor_Name] , '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + g.StatusDescription + '.gif' AS [_IconFor_Name] , g.Description , Count(cm.ContainerID) as [Group Members] FROM Orion.Groups g INNER JOIN Orion.ContainerMembers cm on cm.containerid =…

  • I used this method and it worked great, I was able to basically wipe the APE of all remnants of the initial install, and re-install as if a new APE server was being configured.

  • Is there an option to use the SolarWinds API to script an automatic setting of the node custom property based on the nodes inclusion in a group? Maybe exporting the group members, and then running an API setting to set the specific node custom property I need, and schedule that nightly? I opened a case with support but was…

  • I'd like to know this as well, our Orion server is in AWS, and access from our DMZ has been problematic, but our on-prem APE can access, and I'd like to figure out how to point the probe back to the APE, instead of the Orion Web server. Is this Possible? Thanks, SteveT
    in Netpath Probe talking to the APE rather than the Core server. Comment by sturk22 July 2018
  • I found an excellent resource that basically overviews the steps needed to take to do this. I plan on following these steps. I have already de-activated all the licenses for the entire environment, and so I can wipe all areas of the server, and rebuild from scratch. Perform a fresh Orion installation on the same Windows…

  • Thank you guys, I'm talking with the server team about re-imaging the server, and re-installing fresh to match what were doing on the AWS side...I suspect that just un-installing modules will not get me where I want to go. I was advised by support to de-activate the license's prior, and put them back in the pool, and then…

  • I was able to create a Job in config manager that will send an email (and can be converted to a ticket with our email integration) for the nodes in the job. The job can be configured to only email if there are errors, and the log will list all the nodes in the job, and those with Errors. Kind of a kludge work around, but…
