No probs! 

@"Walshy" think this was intended to be in the NCM forum

Hi Jeff, we have yet to have any exposure to the product or even an NFR license. Could you reach out so we know what we're dealing with? 

Take a look at PagerDuty, they have native integration with SolarWinds. https://www.pagerduty.com/docs/guides/solarwinds-integration-guide/ 

My pull request just got approved, which is great, but would still be good to see who manages this. If it is truely community lead, as is often documented, then there should be some clarity surrounding the approval of pull requests and who moderates the Git. 

Hi @"towerjunkie" my only useful suggestion would be to use WayBackMachine to see if there is an older version available for download. Difficulty being that the download is masked behind a registration form and not publicly visible. I'd be wary of any downloads that aren't safe. Check out the comparisons for alternative…

@"Walshy" @"ChrystalT" how about an area on Thwack for the free SW tools.There are a few most people wouldn't have come across before because the section is understandably hidden on the SWI web site, but may be useful to have a Forum on here to discuss these items? 

AFAIK there is no public beta programme. The code is all closed source too, so all testing done in house. The nearest the public get to do any testing is by installing/using the RC versions of the software which normally come out a month or so before GA. This is for SolarWinds Platform and Observability Self-Hosted. 

See @"HerrDoktor" reply. The SWIS API adds an additional layer of security. But getting that to feed into PowerBi would probably require some additional PS custom work. 

@"Walshy" or @"ChrystalT" probably wants to be in the SolarWinds SDK forum 

Nothing stopping you querying the database directly. What is it you're looking to do? 

Completed it. Looks interesting! 

Hi @"dad0209" what account is locked? You're posting on Thwack so not that account. 

Would be good if the Git repo could get some love too github.com/.../OrionSDK 

We have customers with Fortigate Firewalls on 2025.1.1 and Hardware Health doesn't appear to be polling. 

What problems are you facing? 

It can be done via PowerShell and the OrionSDk although there isn't a fully documented process like there is with the modern dashboards 

raised a FR for that thwack.solarwinds.com/.../select-unit-for-api-values

Another point on the API polling, as far as I'm aware it will display any integer as a unit of data...... which it may not always be. That can get confusing. 

Thanks, will do! 

Can't remember if I provided feedback on this or not. Annoying! Can you check for me? We have a lot of use case and problems with Modern Dashboards and I have raised a few feature requests. Thank you

Also raised a feature request [mention:4e1b12ddd8fb433dbc0fc02c77cf6f50:fb5d84b10a5745448a7a45dafc1faa43]

Hi @"BanginBish" you may want to raise this as a feature request here SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly known as Hybrid Cloud Observability) Feature Requests 

Like @"mesverrum" has mentioned, the entries in the SolarWinds DB are artefacts left over, and as long as they are disabled in your AD environment, there's no way they're getting access to SolarWinds. That being said, there's nothing to say you couldn't strip out the accounts from the Orion.Accounts table that haven't…

Hi Bootneck If you're using AD auth, and that's the only method to control your access, you have nothing to worry about. If the AD account is disabled, they're not getting access to the system. If you have individual AD accounts added, you can check for that separately. I have recently amended the following SWQL and you…

Every day is a school day! I've used this for NetPath but didn't know you could use it for that. Can also use Linux Agents to save on license costs...

If you already have SWOSH, are you likely to fork out for the SWOSaaS product though? My understanding, albeit limited, is that majority of Pingdom functionality is in SaaS, but it's a costly alternative and if your env is already established it'd be a big project to move over. There are other alternatives here, but as…

If you're looking for a true site uptime monitor, with global probes, I'd be more inclined to use a dedicated site uptime tool such as Pingdom https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/pingdom/content/topics/pingdom-probe-servers-ip-addresses.htm The problem with AWS and Azure is that it does give you a valid…

the full SWQL Functions list is here https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/SWQL-Functions 

I'm currently stuck on this. Even with some hackery, it falls over due to JSON needing unique keys. Even so, it's not exporting the DashboardGroup, or additional dashboards. I think they'll need to build this in or a new Invoke command for the Orion.Dashboards.DashboardGroups table. I've also raised this as an Issue on…
