Good golly adatole​... Take a break for a minute, man! Breathe... Relax... Stop being so helpful already, it's only 7am! I really like the series you're doing here. Very informative, as well as useful. Thank you!

dunno... I reckon I would live with the decisions made by my Engineers... I am just a peon around here...

wes.reneau​ Here is one of the reports I was thinking of. Orion Polling Engine Report I believe that one (from KMSigma​) was done based on the previous version, made long ago, by (adatole​). If you look through that thread, you should find some SWQL queries to use as a jumping off point. That is, if you need to add/remove…

wes.reneau​​ Hello, are you looking to find an identical match for all data shown on the "Total Element Count" page (/Orion/Admin/Details/ElementsStat.aspx), or just a subset of that data? (I'm sure you are wanting all data from that page, but just double checking.) EngineIDDisplayNameIPServerTypeNodesADM StatusAppInsight…

haja4nhn​ I think what you are wanting SHOULD be how those two widgets work together. If I were making it, I'd want the filter from any widget to be automatically applied to any link also on the widget. Unfortunately, I think they are currently working as they have been built. Unless I'm way off here, I'd think this would…

robertcbrowning​ I believe the menu bar for NPM 12 was designed to accommodate mobile device users, as well as traditional desktop users. You are correct, being able to accomplish this by expanding the menu, and clicking the heading for the module you would like to open. You can also do the same with the collapsed version…

msalipong​ You should be able to setup a NCM job to "execute a script". Within that job, there should be an option to save output to a file. I do this every night for a "show dhcp clients" command, across 600+ DSLAM blades. This generates a single list of IP/MAC addresses being used by our DSL customers. Our techs are able…

mehmoodakhan​ Just a little bit of clarification, if you don't mind... How is your Orion environment setup? (Which versions of which SolarWinds modules to you have installed/running, and how many of what types of servers is it all setup/running on?) Do you already have an additional polling engine (APE), and want to know…

byrona​ I am in the same boat as you here. We recently got WHD approved, and I have been struggling to set things up properly. I feel like the WHD logic works completely opposite to the logic I would use in NPM. (not exactly apples to apples, I understand...)

Fun is NOT allowed at work. Consider this your warning! If we catch you having fun while working again, we will not like it. Please, have some respect for those around you, and turn that smile upside down!

knds​ powerblade​ Additionally, you can use the following SWQL query to accomplish your goal. There are a couple of ways to do this. You can either put this resource on a node details page, meaning that it will only show information/configs related to the node that is currently being viewed. Or, you can put this on a…

sja​ From the screenshot on that page, as well as the description, it looks like some sort of tool similar to what Splunk does.

meech​ Wow, it's like Thwackmas today... This one will probably take me a little more time to put together, but I will definitely be back with my wishlist...

rafish​ Here are a couple of other links to achieve similar results. How to create a simple custom view of multiple interfaces' bandwidth utilization Custom SQL Dynamic Graphing Resource Thank you, -Will

rlawrence​ You can use the following SQL query, in a web report, to display all of the nodes that have had config changes, as well as the dates/times each changed config was downloaded, within the last 30 days. There should also be an option to export to excel, after you have created, and viewed, the web report. In…

alphabits​ You should be able to manually adjust the number of simultaneous connections NCM can make, with the default being 25. You will need to make the adjustment in the "Config Settings" part, of the NCM settings menu.

cahunt‌ I am on Orion Platform 2014.2.1, QoE 1.0, NCM 7.3.1, NPM 11.0.1, NTA 4.0.3, IVIM 1.10.0 and we do not have that page. so, perhaps it was removed/replaced when they merged the NCM & NPM databases..? You should be able to access something similar to what you listed above, by simply going to the manage nodes area, and…

orionfan​ You can create additional config types to download. (Running, Startup, Show All, DHCP, etc.) From that new config type, you would setup a job to download, then you can run compliance reports off the new config. I do this for DHCP, so I can get counts of active subscribers, as of the config downloaded that…

manage nodes, check box next to node, click delete, then confirm...?

jkrier​ I do this exact thing to create our daily DHCP summary page. I have a job for NCM which runs the same command (show dhcp clients) across all of our Occam/Calix DSLAM blades. It saves the command results into a single file, appending each result below the previous. While this is not a fancy report, it is easily…

Yes, NCM should be able to live on its own, though it will likely become very lonely without its friend NPM.

I have seen this issue as well, however, I simply continue on and have not had anything really fail on me... (probably not best way to do it, but I have... for now) I have seen it while installing various versions of different modules, all on a system with a currently standing DB. When I get time I will clear out the vm,…

Odd... now that I go back through the audit logs in the message center... all of the SYSTEM entries similar to what you have posted, now have a username instead of SYSTEM. Good luck on getting your answer... I will check back in to see, as my curiosity is now peaked...

I see that sometimes when I do the network discovery/sonar thingy, and add multiple devices/IP ranges at a time. Also, if I remember correctly, I have seen that when manually editing the node/device, if any of the custom properties are used. I reckon it might not be helpful information, but its information nonetheless...

bshopp​, any idea why we are forced to use the ${NodeID} macro? Is there a hidden toggle for that requirement, some way to bypass it? I would like to test a few things via the SWQL monitor, such as changes to internal system settings. However, with the requirement, I don't understand how I can accomplish this task. Any…

@rock lobster ​NCM has a built-in search page which will run against various combinations of your saved configs. /Orion/NCM/SearchResult.aspx This will allow you to search for what you need across all of your NCM nodes, or even just a subset of those nodes. You can also narrow down by date range of downloaded config too.…

ollydrew​ The first job, "Download configs from devices", logs in to each device, downloads the device config, and stores the config in the database. The second job, "Export Configs", takes the already saved configs, from the database, and exports them elsewhere. You only need to run the first job, if you want device…

mstyler​ Many people have been looking for SolarWinds to improve this feature/functionality. A while back, jbiggley posted something similar, Using Scheduled Discovery for Discovering Monitoring Gaps - A Crazy Idea​, and if you read through his post, and all of the comments, you may find some very useful tips. Thank you,…

haasjohn​ In regards to finding the "Custom Query" SWQL queries currently being used , if you are running the latest releases, you should be able to find them using the following SWQL query: SELECT rp.ResourceID ,r.ResourceName ,r.ResourceTitle ,r.ResourceFile ,rp.PropertyName ,rp.PropertyValue ,rp.Uri FROM…
