in Autodrawn links don't go red when switches are down in Orion Maps Comment by superfly August 4

I just did a test. One where I let it autodraw the link and another where I hid the auto drawn link and drew in my own. I then turned off the device and both maps ended up looking identical like this I will log a ticket for this.

Thanks. I'll do some testing. In atlas this just worked. I've now got links just disappearing when they are down instead of going red.

For me it's the alerts I've created for syslogs.

in What are your go-to custom alerts in SolarWinds NPM? Comment by superfly July 23

It's an auto generated link. Are you saying I should manually create all the links between devices and then they will go red if the device is down?

I like the new look but think the superpowers are annoying. I think questions should just remain open till the end just like they were last year. I'm not even sure if anyone is excited about these superpowers.

Thanks I was able to unlock the locked questions.

I'm out of unlocks. I think have enough so that each question can be unlocked.

I can't get into the store. I do receive the OTP but when I put it in, it fails with expired link or a cloudflare error. Does it work for anyone else?

in The THWACK Store is Back — Because You Made It Matter Comment by superfly July 21

Yeah this catch up thingy is annoying. I've got 2 previous questions I can't unlock as apparently I've used all my unlocks up. Add me to the list of unable to complete this mission.

Look forward to checking it out.

I'm trying to do the mission but all I get is this And my current time and date is The email I received 12 hours ago said it would close 12am CT which is 3 pm my time but it ain't working for me :(

My servers are monitored via the agent and this is my executable command. SolarWinds.APM.RealTimeProcessPoller.exe -n=${NodeID} -alert=${N=Alerting;M=AlertDefID} -alertId=${N=Alerting;M=AlertID} If your servers are monitored via agent and the executable is as per above, then only thing I can think of is to make sure that…

in Top 10 process of a Node not listing the processes though included in the alert rule trigger action Comment by superfly June 3

Yes I back up my palo alto firewall device state. As I use Panorama, I don't backup the running config of the PA's. The only thing I've changed is when I back up the running config from panorama I do it using the cli view (so non xml file).

in Backing Up Palo Alto configurations Comment by superfly May 22

I don't believe you would have ever been able to do this as the gauge you want is bound to a particular interface and not customizable no a summary page to say which interface it's bound to. You could put in a feature request.

in Adding bandwidth utilization gauges to summary screen Comment by superfly May 22

Yes the additional polling engine will do all that. Here's some info no how to install it https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/install-scalability-engine.htm

in Additional Polling Engine Usage Comment by superfly May 22

Is there a wait time between the 2 escalations?

😂that made me laugh!

I can't select the MVP products either.

in THWACK January Mission – Status Report Comment by superfly May 20

Glad it was resolved. I'm not sure when I'll upgrade but I will keep this in mind. Thanks.

in bulk unmanage/delete interfaces Comment by superfly April 27

Have you tried to create your report in multiple sections? So each section will show just what you've listed in it.

in Interface utilization report graphs for multiple nodes/interfaces Comment by superfly April 27

Do you still have the email set at escalation level 2? Like this? I found when I just had them both in level 1, then the top 10 didn't get listed.

Hooray! Now to pick what I will spend my points on :)

I've got the same. Some posts the comment section just doesn't appear. It's a bit odd.

in Is it just me? Comment by superfly April 22

Whilst I didn't like the old Thwack setup, I'm not fond of this new one really either. I'm not finding it very user friendly. But like others I too have been using AI. I'm now creating views and widgets I never thought I could do. My dashboards are coming alive with information. Now I wish there was more icons we could use…

in Is it just me? Comment by superfly April 20

Thanks for this post. I hadn't noticed the issue but I have the same issue. I've now updated my view. @bourlis you said "Take a look here Global Suppressed Alerts Dashboard - THWACK. You can download it and import it into your system or if you want I can post the SWQL query here." Could you please post the swql query here…
