A few percentage points is a LOT of business... They are definitely the dominant force... I suppose we can agree to disagree

If Network Atlas allows custom SQL variables like the old Advanced Alert engine did, then yes, you'll be able to do whatever you can code a SQL query to do. If not, then no, you'll be limited to the preset variables they provide, which are decently comprehensive, but maybe more limiting than you're talking about. I don't…

Hey Vijay, did you ever get a resolution to this?

Man, as popular as Palo's are I am surprised this hasn't been implemented yet... Our company just switched over to using Palo's in the new DC's they built and from a SolarWinds Orion perspective we are quite limited (we had Cisco ASA's before...). The network guys want a report by COB today that has the serial numbers for…

This is an older Feature Request Post, I'm aware, but I came across it and figured I'd add my two cents to the conversation: If you search the internet for info about SQL Server index fragmentation you will see a LOT of conflicting opinions. The consensus when it comes to index fragmentation being bad or OK seems to be "It…

Yes, what this request is asking for isn't actually possible since Web Reports aren't a single object. Web Reports are more like views in that they contain multiple resources. You can't place a view inside of a single resource. It wouldn't make much sense. See my other reply here for more detail. The spirit of this feature…

I think some basic functionality in SRM would be nice, like knowing when there are pathing issues as well as allow mapping of Volumes to LUN's the way VMware Volumes can be mapped to LUN's if you own Virtualization Manager and SRM. Obviously full detailed monitoring is going to be handled better by specialty tools, but…

Yeah, while I like the new widget compared to what was available before, there is so much wasted white-space in it (a trend I've noticed in a lot of their new UI items). I really would like to see more layout customizations with the new UI elements, including this widget. Like it'd be nice if this widget gave the option of…

Did you get this fixed? I'm having the exact same issue any time I try to go to a storage device's details page or if I try to edit the properties of a storage device from the Manage Storage Objects page. I know I can put a support ticket in, but that's such a long and aggravating process.

Hi Solaiy, You ever get this figured out? Having the same issue and it makes no sense...

You ever figure this out Alex? I want to be able to query this data in our Grafana instance and your query is the closest I've found to a solution (since the only API that DPA has is a config/management API).

Yeah, I'm trying to upgrade our QA instance of SolarWinds from 2023.1.0 to 2023.2 and am getting this same error...

How are you sending alerts to ServiceNow Event Management? For example, we have a custom powershell script that gathers the data we want to capture and formats it in a specific way that we then send as a SOAP message through a SolarWinds Alert Action to ServiceNow Event Management. We then have a script in ServiceNow Event…

Yeah, just ran into this now... Much like many features by SolarWinds, it's a fantastic idea that is not well thought out. This company does not have good attention to detail. They roll out features without testing how the user would need to use them in a real world environment. How are we supposed to Mute the API Pollers?…

Yeah, I can't find anywhere in the documentation where it tells you what the requirements are for the ACI REST credential... Which is weird, because their documentation is usually pretty good about that.

I don't think so. For all intents and purposes, a template contains all of the "default" thresholds. If you modify a template you've effectively changed the default threshold. The only way to keep the true default would be to clone a template and edit the copy, however, with AppInsight monitors you can't copy the template,…

This isn't exactly what you need, but it's a start. This is a SWQL Query I have that will return the current thresholds set at the template level. You can change the template name to whatever you want, but I have it currently set at "AppInsight for SQL". To make this show you the thresholds for individual components, it'll…

Ahh yes, I think I have a SWQL Query somewhere. Give me some time and I can find it somewhere (assuming someone else doesn't reply with it first of course).

Are you talking about thresholds? Sorry, not completely clear on what you're asking about here.

The best solution would be to allow us to create custom Status & Response Time pollers in Manage Pollers (aka: Device Studio). Currently we can only replace CPU, Memory, and Node Details system pollers, but if we could also create our own Status & Response Time pollers then we could create packages that look at better…

We have about 200 agent based nodes (a selection of Windows, Linux, and AIX). That issue didn't occur for us. Still wouldn't say that would be enough of an issue for their support staff to quit in droves. Now the Russian hacking scandal on the other hand...

Sorry, but buggy releases lately?? I've used SolarWinds Orion for over 10 years now and, besides the glaring massive security hacking scandal in November, the product has never been more stable nor has it performed better. We have a very large install (10 polling engines, every module of Orion, DPA, two Additional Web…

To be able to run network tests originating on something like a Cisco router or switch, you'd have to use something like IPSLA. Cisco's IOS doesn't really allow third party apps/agents to be installed on it, does it? I've never heard of something like that at least. But like I said, you could use SolarWinds VNQM product…

Where are you seeing this error? In a log file maybe? Also, WinRM requires configuration on both ends. It needs to be configured on the Orion server where you need to make sure you have the TrustedHosts setting configured to allow communication to all nodes being monitored. It also needs to be setup on each Windows node…

For now I'm sure you could put together an automated powershell script to grab those from the VMWare API and populate them into a custom property at either the Node or VirtualMachine level.

Wow, really?? That's kind of huge... That means we can actually update individual components now via scripted automation. Something that wasn't really possible before. Wow, I'm going to have to think about this. This could be very useful.

Thanks for the reply. See my reply to mrxinu in this thread to see my use case. But I ended up doing everything I needed in my PowerShell script, which in hindsight was more appropriate for my use case.

So we are trying to script our captions to be certain cases based on the node type. So Windows nodes will be all upper case, Linux/Unix nodes will start with Upper case, ESX Hosts will be all upper case and include the domain (so FQDN), VIP's will be all lowercase, and etc... Obviously I can just query the data and do it…

We have 2020.2.1 HF1 that we installed a couple of nights ago but when I go to the "Updates Available" page of the "My Orion Deployment" screen, it says we're completely up to date. However, I checked and we are definitely still just on HF1, not HF2. On Customer Portal the only download available for HF2 is the Offline…

Try turning off OIP (go into Start menu and look for Orion Improvement Program Settings). It could be that your Security team is blocking access to OIP as its one of the avenues of attack for the hack. Your install could also be failing because some AV software is incorrectly identifying a file in the new HF2 package as a…
