This was my understanding too and that is what the documentation states (SolarWinds documentation), from what I see - it isn't clearly stated on the documentation that this is applied only for the particular web console session. And in the past, I have tried this as well, you pause alert actions, logout and login again and…

I don't think so, I mean these plugins were tightly coupled in the past and I don't think any vendor is keeping the support on - for such plugins, maintaining them for upward compatibility becomes a challenge as these tools has evolved over a period of time. If its Splunk cloud you might as well want to look into 'Splunk…

Start using Custom properties in SolarWinds Custom properties in the SolarWinds Platform Define custom properties on node or interface (based on your requirement), you can update values for custom properties in bulk as required. Based on this you can design your alerts to check against the value of custom properties…

By BGP what do you mean do you mean the neighbors or the interfaces itself ? If its neighbor alerts follow the guidelines as mentioned in the below link: Create an alert when BGP route goes down or is missing in NPM If its interface/link follow the guidelines as mentioned in the below link: How to generate an alert in NPM…

How to Update Webhook URLs for Microsoft Teams due to Webhook Connector Retirement Microsoft Teams Integration with SolarWinds Platform Alerts Not sure if this is still relevant, I know MS Teams made few changes from 31 Jan 2025, check if the above links help. We tried this integration last year and it seemed to be working…

You can start by looking at the below links: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python thwack.solarwinds.com/.../solarwinds-sdk SolarWinds SDK Hope this helps.

Your CPU and Memory is anyways being monitored on the whole, if you still want to look into Cache and Shared - raise a vendor support case to figure out what OIDs are used to pull this information and then track it from there. If this isnt really required why monitor the same ? You can delete them from monitoring, but if…

Do you run rediscovery jobs on regular basis and have you as well checked automatically add ? In that case stop the existing rediscover job and create a new one and schedule the same accordingly.

What type of licenses do you have for your SolarWinds Platform ? if you are using SolarWinds Observability Self Hosted and if its subscription based license then? check the below link: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/orion_platform_licensing_model.htm In module based licenses it…

And with respect to failover , stop HA on web gui, reboot your secondary server, switch on HA on web gui again and then try failing over, if everything is intact it should failover this time

did they suggest repair as mentioned in the link provided by me ? Restart might have fixed it temporarily - the details mentioned on the link will not break anything as i have used it in the past, but its good to send SolarWinds support this link and ask them if this can be done.

You can always repair the same, but I would suggest you to raise a vendor support case before you proceed with this. Repair a failing Job Engine and Collector Components

How are you connecting to your SolarWinds database is it through DB Manager ? and do you have just one database ?

The typical configuration is to have 3 separate databases in any SolarWinds deployment. 1. NetPerfmon Database 2. Netflow Database (in older versions if you dont have NTA this is not required) - in the latest version by default you will have this if you have Observability 3. Syslog Database Ideally these 3 databases are…

I am not sure if this is still valid for latest version of SolarWinds - which is now SolarWinds Observability Self Hosted, but then in the past bmc did have connectors to connect with SolarWinds (NPM), check on bmc site https://docs.bmc.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/…

Are these custom node charts ? And what version of SolarWinds are you using ? Any recent upgrade or change ? I doubt if there is a script that would fix it on the fly.
