powerblade​ Also, the best way to really get into this, is to use the Orion SDK, and test it out for yourself. Home · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub This is a "One-Way" tool, so you really cannot break anything, as it is read only. It is the best place to test out SWQL queries, which are similar to SQL queries, but…

powerblade​ You can certainly change it, however, there are a few things to know/do before changing it. 1) Backup 2) Backup 3) Backup 4) Any changes you make to a default file will be undone after running the config wizard again. 5) Sometime it is easier to just make a copy of the files you need, changing the resource…

wes.reneau​ And here is another doc with some good info too. (also from Kevin, so maybe similar, updated, or same version of the previous...?)

kstone​​ Well, over the past 6 months, I have been able to trim down the incoming syslog messages significantly, from just under 600k mph, down to roughly 50k mph. So, while we still receive some junk, most of it is actual data that may need to be referenced in the future. I know I said 5+ years, but, in reality, and from…

Thank you!

martin.filip​ For me, I customize a bunch of things, and this tool was the first step towards keeping my settings the way I need them. During the beta, I thought I had setup SWQL queries to monitor some of those settings, but was unable to do (what I thought were) those same queries in the current version. As an example, I…

haasjohn​ Otherwise, if you're just looking for the filter part of regular widgets, I think you can just swap out that "WHERE" line, using the following instead: WHERE PropertyName LIKE '%filter%' Let us know if this is what you're looking for. Thank you, -Will

I meant I see "SYSTEM" in the audit trail for similar scenarios... not that I see SYSTEM adding new custom properties... only the ones that already exist...

Turning it off, and on again... Classic! Glad to hear they got you all fixed up. -Will

kai​ I would probably start with what christopher.a.thornton@gmail.com​ mentioned, and just make sure all configs are recent. You can test this out by clicking on the "Configuration Management" link, under the main "Configs" tab. Then select 10+ devices (enough to see the graph change), and manually initiate downloads for…

bardeev‌ Okay, it looks like Santa came through, and delivered enough time to put something together for you, and/or anyone else interested in the same... Take a look at the link below, which should give you everything you need to implement the resource to acquire the solution you are looking for. Custom Node Tree I hope…

joe.stall​ How is your SolarWinds environment setup, and which modules do you have installed and running? If you have multiple servers/pollers, which one did you run the config wizard on? Have there been any recent changes to any of the SolarWinds servers? Are you logged in, and running the wizard as "Administrator"?

cnorborg‌ Yeah, those are definitely improvements, and would help with the day to day tasks/reports. I would even settle for some simple way to be able to select the nodes of the compliance policy violation results, and then edit those nodes in bulk. (Maybe I want to add a comment, or change a custom property on them,…

You should be able to apply the solution from this thread, Filtering for incorrect logging hosts, to your needs. I am pretty sure that is the link I was thinking of, however, if I find another one of his, I'll leave a link here. Thank you, -Will

Here is the SWQL I finally finished, with the help of antonis.athanasiou​, as well as the Thwack collective. It's probably not the best, but it works for what I needed. SELECT S1.Node ,S1.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Node] ,S1.IP ,S1.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_IP] ,S1.Area ,S1.MachineType ,S1.Version ,S1.Serial ,S1.LastBoot…

pe7rk‌ No worries. I'm happy to help, when I can. If you have found this to be an acceptable resolution to your question, please mark this post as "Answered" to assist others for future reference. Thank you, -Will

pe7rk‌ The SWQL query above, should produce a searchable node resource that looks like this: As the SWQL query is above, you should be able to search through all columns. If you do not want to be able to search by a specific column, simply remove that column from the where/search part of the query. -Will

Same here...

balchana​ Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is the module that backs up and stores the device configs. You would need to schedule a NCM job to run (nightly, weekly, monthly, etc...). You can configure that job (or many jobs), to backup all devices, or just a subset of devices. You can also further define you device…

amehlman‌ Actually, you might want to just try to shutdown all of the SolarWinds services on the main server, and then restart them all after a minute, before taking the server down for 10-15 minutes. Or, perhaps just give it a reboot, for now, to clear/postpone the issue, until you have a maintenance window to work in. I…

tkercher‌ Dang, you beat me to it..

fryman​ KMSigma​ previously posted a simple SWQL query to display NetPath summaries via a custom query widget. NetPath Custom Query Widget What versions are you running, and what is it, exactly, you want to embed? (The actual NetPath map display? Just the stats? A summary?)

conguir Will you post an example of your HTML/REST method? I'm always curious to learn how others accomplish their out of the box solutions. Thank you, -Will

Yes, yes, yes, yes!! Please. We graph interfaces, and a bunch of them. We need the repetition of adding the same graph to the same page for each new qualifying element to be better automated. 1 interface = 1 graph. The graph, type, and settings are always the same. 1 new interface = 1 new graph.

LadaVarga‌ Thank you for the info. The only reason it was enabled, that I can think of, is maybe it got reset/re-enabled when support was working on one of our issues. I will keep an eye on those logs and if it comes back on, then I will open a ticket. Thanks, again, for your help. -Will

@"vint" I've been running KSS with, and without, an external SQL server for a while. Several months ago I built new 2016 VMs for our Kiwi servers, as well as changed back over to flat/text files instead of external DB. The benefit of running an external DB will likely depend on your available resources. If you have the…

bkyle​ On the previous version, 9.5.0, I had applied the "Syslog v9.5.0 - Hot Fix 3", and everything worked fairly well, for the most part. After upgrading to version 9.5.1, I did not initially apply any hotfixes, as I did not see any available. However, after the first 2 or three days of crashing, I figured I would…

@"stuartd" , since this is a function, being on part of his entire script, I think he may have defined his $swis/$Swisconnection var elsewhere. Try running this command first, which should pop up a login box for you to enter your Orion/API login creds. $swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname orion.hostname.here Afterwards, if you…

Not sure why this screenshot didn't make it along with the previous post, but here it is now. For those unfamiliar with the browser console, it just shows the raw data which would/could be loaded onto the page.

@"LatteLarry" Sorry for the delay, I just noticed your post here. I have recently upgraded to 2020.2, so we should both be running/testing against the same version. I was able to copy/paste the contents of the "Vertical_Chart_Daily_Availability_Single.txt" file, attached to the OP at top, into a "Custom HTML" widget on a…
