This will work based on custom properties. SELECT COUNT(1) AS KPI_Numbe from Orion.Nodes WHERE Status=2 AND nodes.customproperties.City='Cork'

What is the trigger condition for the alert which is being raised? If you list resources for the node, how is it's status and response time being calculated? Is it ICMP or agnet?

Rather than use specific static values such as 80% and 90% to alert on you can alert when a metric such as CPU% reaches its warning or critical threshold. The values can be calculated from a baseline after 7 days of data collection and be configured to be dynamic. Here are some good references which explain the process in…

The KPI widget thresholds are driven by integer values only. We are tracking the ability to define string values for warning and critical thresholds under CORE-16223 

As you navigate through the entities such as Orion.APIPoller.RequestDetails in SWQL studio you will notice that some support CREATE operations. Here is an example that will CREATE a new Orion.APIPoller.RequestDetails #Setup Orion.APIPoller.RequestDetails $OrionAPIPollerRequestDetails = @{ url ="APIPoller"; ApiPollerId=242;…

Hello, Is certainly possible to create and manage objects using the Orion API. As a start, I would recommend these sources to get a better understanding of the API https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pTQo8Oqk8c https://thwack.solarwinds.com/resources/b/product-blog/posts/intro-to-api-sdk-swql Although I have not used the API…

You are close, the NodeProperties method is not needed as you are updating Orion.Nodes directly. If you use SWQL Studio you will notice that Display Name is stored as Caption. For your example, you could try this. swis.update(uri, Caption='My new name') These examples will also achieve what you want. 1. Powershell #…

When you assign an application template to 1 or more nodes, it becomes an instance of an Application Monitor. Any changes you make to the template are propagated to the application monitors. It may be all that you need to do is add the component to the…

What I can briefly tell you is that /api2 is an internal API that requires authentication, which I believe is cookie-based. It s not intended for general access like the SWIS API, that is not to say it's impossible to do what you describe, but it may be difficult. 

There are many ways to perform bulk actions via the API such as bulk delete / unmanage etc. When you state the component, what does it mean to you? Is it an application component you want to add to an application template?

Can you verify that all the necessary ports are open https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-solarwinds-port-requirements.htm#link3 Also it may help to check the installer you are using, review the steps…

There is no built-in method to do what you describe and would like to know more about your use case. If it were possible to add such a button, where would you position it and how would it look? Would this button be configurable and available in the widget drawer in the same way as other widgets?

Could you capture a set of diagnostics by following the steps described here https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-diagnostics-on-web.htm If you need a way to share them with me afterwards let me know.

What version are you running? After navigating to the license manager has the URL offline=true at the end?

Yes, it is possible to run Orion in the cloud. We have offerings within AWS and Azure or, you can self-host on GCP . These should serve as a good initial reference. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/install-orion-azure.htm…

You can check if your Orion server has internet access by going to settings - > License Manager, if the address bar shows offline=true at the end it means the server is unable to reach the required URLs listed under the Core section described here thwack.solarwinds.com/.../orion-urls-for-firewall-whitelisting

Thanks for sharing this, I have looked into both cases for those who are curious and can see: Case # - 00808690 : Bar gauges disappeared from all Top X widgets - Fixed in 2020.2.6 Case # - 00863238 Custom property not working in widgets - Can you confirm this was caused by using an undocumented reserved keyword value of…

It looks like your Orion server may not be able to reach outside to get the latest product catalog. You can opt to perform an offline upgrade by downloading the .iso from your customer portal. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/install-orionproducts.htm

There is a good reference with sample code which can be found here https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk/46581/how-to-update-agent-via-api-invoke-swisverb

The use of a custom SWQL query is bound to SELECT statements for the selected entity. You may need to use a nested query to include the hardcoded fields such as SELECT Nodes.Uri, Nodes.DisplayName FROM Orion.Nodes AS Nodes WHERE Nodes.Uri In ( Your query here ) Here is an example of something similar I…

Thank you for the feedback, I'm sorry to hear the new CP editor does not meet your needs. Our intention was to have parity with the classic editor, can you elaborate on how you use the classic editor and how the workflow differs in the new editor? As you identified the setting is on a per-user basis, there is no global…

Are you going through a proxy? This may also help serverfault.com/.../how-to-diagnose-ca-certificate-too-weak-error-how-to-use-the-ca-cert-anyway

You should provide the DNS listener name rather than IP I would also recommend looking over this guide on DB best practices. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-sql-server-configuration-best-practices-sw1430.htm

Yes this has been fixed in 2020.2.6 

You may find this post relevant to what you are looking to achieve. Not all credentials types in Orion.Credentials can be updated in this manner, If your application monitors are inheriting credentials from the node, it may be enough for you to update at the node level.

Is the user specifically a SAM Admin? I encountered a similar error recently having overlooked the IPAM level permissions for the user.

Can you share the values you use for Site to validate @"aLTeReGo" hypothesis?

Are there values assigned to all the nodes?

Category, Site & Sub_Sites are custom properties. Can you check that the values for those nodes are as you expect? Settings -> All Settings -> Manage Custom Properties. Do you have any account limitations applied to the account?

Can you provide some more details on what you are describing? What is the site? is it a network atlas map, Orion map, group, or other entity? What does branching out mean?
