  • How did you display the raw HTML in your comment when the Advanced Editor isn't available? Apparently Jive only gives the Advanced Editor option for certain post types, and a Feature Request post type isn't one of them, so I have no clue how to do Syntax Highlighting...
  • You may already know this, but you can actually already copy existing component monitors from one template to another template (or even to the same template). It keeps all the settings and everything. If you did already know that and what you mean is that you'd like to be able to copy the component while working inside of…
  • Just gonna link to some other similar, duplicate, or related requests others have made. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GO VOTE THESE UP: SolarWinds does listen to Feature Requests. Just middle-click on each of the below links to open them in a new tab and vote them up. * Dynamic Custom Properties * Node custom properties in…
  • What do you mean accessing it from the server? Network Atlas can be installed on any workstation. There's no need to access it from the server itself...
  • Can you, or someone else here point me in the right direction for how to enable iControl for an account that isn't the admin account?? I have googled every way I know and while F5 provides a lot of information about iControl, I cannot for the life of me find anything about how to configure it on the appliance itself...
  • I think you mean "Packet Loss" where you say "Response Time" in your first paragraph. Response time is the amount of time a packet takes to get to a node and back. This will vary based on a node's location, current resource utilization, and the quality of the network links between the polling engine and the node, whereas…

  • Yes. PLEASE FIX THE MANAGE NODES PAGE!!!! - Add the ability to manage volumes the same way that Interfaces can be managed - Allow Group by and sorting of node properties when managing Interfaces and Volumes. - Add advanced sorting and filtering so that we can group, sort, and filter nodes, volumes, and interfaces by…
  • Yeah, I get it, and I'm glad to hear that it had some mockups and that you guys are really thinking about it. It's just frustrating because as a person who has worked in Orion for almost 10 years now, this and a Manage Nodes page that lets us manage all object types instead of just Nodes are the two biggest features I've…
  • Monday Bump. Where oh where did AppInsight for Active Directory Go? Where oh where did it go?
  • I'd counter that to a user the web based report layout workflow is quite confusing at first. I know I and nearly everyone I've worked with have definitely struggled at first with the Web Based Report layout feature. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it and I'm with you, but I think there is a better way. Have you seen…
  • Very nice article. It's great motivation for us to get our upgrade done even faster. I do have a question about this line here though: That’s right, upgrading to the latest version of NTA allows you to consolidate your SolarWinds footprint. For customers paying by the core for SQL Server licensing, this alone should…
  • Here's a little tweak I'd like to see (since most of the major things have already been covered in detail by others and even me): On the left-hand side of the program, where you browse for objects to place on the map, when you expand a node to view its child elements (i.e. Interfaces, hardware sensors, etc...), please make…

  • I guess... Seems like a step backwards though. Web reports are awesome because of their multiple object ability and their formatting options. Allowing Custom Tables and Charts as well as the data sources that drive them to be reusable would do exactly what the Op (and everyone in this thread) is asking for and be far far…
  • I think my idea above to just let us reuse data sources and custom tables/charts from other Custom Tables/Charts we've previously built in other Reports/Views would be much better, and easier to implement for them. Otherwise you're talking about them having building a whole new object type. My idea would only require that…
  • So while I like the new updated UI for managing Custom Properties that is included in this release, there is a HUGE miss in it. Honestly, I had no problem with the old Custom Property Editor, it was fine. But, the new one seems to do exactly what the old one did and it definitely saves a few mouse clicks, which I…
  • Yes @"ebradford", he definitely photo-shopped that as an example of what it should look like.
  • So what is going on SolarWinds? We are almost at a year without any update to either the Product Roadmap here, or the product itself... July 16th will be a year, which is crazy. Can we get any kind of update from SolarWinds as to how soon we can expect something? I know SolarWinds never gives specifics, but just some kind…
  • Guess I'll add the question here because I haven't got anything back from the other post I asked this on, but what is going on with AppInsight for Active Directory? It was on the Roadmap for SAM and it was looking like it was coming out very soon not that long ago, but now it's no longer on the Roadmap and I haven't seen…
  • This is a seriously underrated request. The things you could do with this are seriously limitless. Yes, you could create a script monitor that essentially does this, but that has both the administrative overhead of creating/editing a script to return the data, plus the performance overhead that comes along with script…
  • I don't know man, WPM is getting pretty long in the tooth. Other than a few hotfixes it hasn't been updated in years. Heck, the roadmap hadn't even been updated in over a year until just a little while ago, and despite all of the modules recently getting upgraded it still hasn't been updated yet... Not even just updating…
  • One of the worst parts about these posts that have indicated "were working on it" if you ask, no one even gives you a clue as to where the devs are at Well, one thing SolarWinds will never do is tell you when a new feature or bug fix will be out. The best they'll ever say is soon, and that is only generally when they are…

  • Heck yes... Yes, yes, yes. A trillion times Y E S. Before I rant, let me post some other Feature Requests that are the same, similar, or loosely related to this request. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GO VOTE THESE UP: SolarWinds does listen to Feature Requests. Just middle-click on each of the below links to open them in a new…
  • Yes. A hundred times yes. It'd also be nice to be able to tag Probes as well. SolarWinds should make an internal company policy that states any new entity added to SolarWinds should always be added to the custom property editor before being released to the public. There's really no reason not to offer this feature for…

I used to be the biggest Web Report hater and thought something similar. It was simply because I hadn't learned how to use the web reports to their fullest. Other than displaying a report on a…
  • Great news! Hey, comments are turned off on the "What we're working on beyond SAM 6.3" post, so I can't post this there, but I don't see anything about AppInsight for Active Directory on the Product Roadmap anymore. What happened to that? Also, can you please turn comments on for the Product Roadmap post like the NPM…
