Yeah, I think it's what I'm gonna have to do, but it still doesn't help me in non-group resources, which is pretty much most of Orion... I can't use groups in Manage Nodes, Assign Application Templates, or any administrative console at all, so it doesn't really solve my problem. 

Yep, I ended up just putting the same SCP Server Username, Password, and IP address in the box for all of the Polling Engines so that they all pointed to my single SCP server. Then, I shared the Root folder on the SCP server and entered the UNC network path to that shared folder in for the config directory on all of the…

Well, like I'd said in my comment above, I'm no CSharp developer, but the CSharp Samples seem a bit lacking. I was referring to the Samples on the GitHub page when I said that. I see two or three samples just related to setting up a client connection to Orion, and they're all different than each other, I see a couple that…

Yeah, while I'm getting decent with powershell, I still know almost nothing about .Net and C# and, well, pretty much anything that isn't PowerShell... I spent almost my entire day yesterday with .Net Reflector breaking into and browsing around the SolarWinds DLL's on our Dev server trying to figure out how the dang…

Sure, I could just do it on UTC date, but that could be confusing to the end user. I'd rather allow them to filter on local datetime. But even without that it doesn't matter, it still throws all of the same errors. Thank you for the response and perhaps I will file a ticket.

Sorry, I suck at math man, especially geometry. I passed that class in high school with a D, and that was only because the teacher hated me and didn't want to have to teach me the next year. I probably should have failed. Algebra, geometry, or pretty much anything more complicated than 2 + 2 blows my mind. Like, I know…

I'm sorry, what does displaying it on your SolarWinds SAM Page have to do with how it displays in SWQL Studio? Those are two different things... SWQL Studio is just a useful tool for working with SWQL queries. I use it to create queries that I then copy and paste into Powershell scripts, Custom Tables, Custom Charts, and…

Did you get this resolved? If so, what was the solution? Thanks!

Fantastic, thanks for the quick answer sstark85. I hope to have something working by tomorrow. Again, I appreciate your help and your great script!

I thought I'd had food poisoning before but whatever I thought I'd had was nothing compared to this. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy... I'm almost completely human again, still a little bit of the walking dead feeling, but I'll get there in the end. Thanks!

Thanks mbussey. And I apologize if the tone of my post came off as a little angry. I was definitely frustrated since it despairs me when I see such a missed opportunity, but I wasn't angry. Thanks for seeing through that to grab the facts and get this escalated. I have high hopes for SRM. I also just recently convinced…

Yep, I was hoping I was wrong, but the more I experimented with it in both our production and QA instances, the more I discovered that it indeed does work this way. Makes no sense to me at all... It seems the variable system they came up with was designed so that we could walk the SWIS entity tables, otherwise why build…

Cool, thanks for the confirmation. Hopefully you guys will add that to the column picker one day. By the way, just curious, when you say there isn't a SWIS entity do you mean that there isn't a reference to the entity in the Column Picker, or is a SWIS Entity something different? Because there are those fields in the…

Thanks once again for the help tdanner. There were two issues that were giving us problems once we followed your formatting for the JSON. We had left out the application/json in the content type header and our ServiceNow Mid server was completely backed up. We had recently upgraded ServiceNow and I guess its queues were…

Hmm, perhaps. I'll play with this some today and see what I can get. I also like that Google Charts idea, that might solve some other things I've got going on here since charts in Orion can be a bit cumbersome (they're all so big!). Like one thing I really wish Orion had was the ability to put little mini charts as a field…

So you are saying if I do a DELETE in SQL itself that the records won't be deleted because of their relationship to the other table? Or, do you just mean that the Orion maintenance process deletes them in a way that protects them? I put a WHERE clause in my SQL DELETE statement to protect any Active Alert records, so not a…

Good insights cracky. And yes, Nagios is relatively bad compared with something like Orion, but they really are very different even though they are direct competitors and serve virtually the same purpose. Nagios is good if you have a very knowledgeable engineer running it and he/she can dedicate their time to it. It's got…

No, my original example was with physical interfaces and the newest example I gave was a VLAN. It seems to be occurring only on high bandwidth links like Port Channels and VLANs where the speed is at 40Gb or higher. And it's not all of them. The more I look into it, I think it's an issue with UCS Switches specifically, as…

Sure, but it's supposed to be a utilization percentage. How is it showing bps at all? This should just a percent value between 1 and 100. The chart shouldn't even have values available above 100. I hope they fix it soon because it renders the widget unusable. Unfortunately it came to the attention of everyone during a huge…

I know you guys don't give dates on new releases, but would you say the fix for this is coming soon? If not how about a hotfix or something? I've got a very important Web Report built on 4 separate custom tables using SWQL queries returning volume forecasting data and I just realized all 4 tables are effected by this…

Ahh!! That is a brand new feature of NPM 12. We have one of our Orion environments upgraded to the newest version but I've not worked in it much, so I wasn't aware of this new feature. I'll have to take a deeper look into this, I'd not heard about it. Still, what I said above holds true regarding custom properties. This is…

Unfortunately right now it's not, sorry. Also it is overly complex making it a massive pain anytime we want to make changes to it and especially when needing to alert on a new object type. I'm actually working on a much simpler script that will automatically send the proper variables based on the object type to ServiceNow…

It's a powershell script that outputs a simple HTML table (no CSS or anything) via a Write-Host "Message.FalseStatusCount: HTML_Table_Goes_Here" as its output to the PowerShell Script Monitor. Replace "HTML_Table_Goes_Here" with the attached HTML Table that the script outputs. Since the HTML is so big I put it as an…

Thanks for the response. I ended up putting a ticket in because it is giving us VM's in clusters different than what we choose. For example, lets say we have clusters A, B, and C in VMAN. If we choose Cluster A for the report, we may get VM's from Cluster C. If we choose Cluster C it might be empty and if we choose Cluster…

What was the result of your case? We upgraded 1 week ago and so far this is our only real problem. The RecommendationService consistenly climbs to 9.5 GB fairly quickly after I restart it. I tried turning off Policies that had a lot of things in them, but I'm just considering turning off the entire feature if I can't…

So according to my most recent support case as well as this article here,​ there is a known issue with that resource. I was instructed by Support to remove that resource from all views that its on as it can cause issues with the Information Service (it may explain why we get some intermittent SWIS memory issues). I'm…

And to elaborate on ekis's comment, hopefully you are using AD Groups to manage users, so that this is an easier customization to apply. We discourage the use of individual accounts in our Orion environment and only allow AD Groups to have accounts. Permissions and customizations are then applied against those Groups,…

Yeah, I try to never use SQL if I can help it. It's just a general bad practice. The only times I use SQL is when I need a function that SWQL doesn't have or if SWQL's performance is too slow (like when querying really large statistics tables and stuff). SWQL is more secure (it honors account and view limitations) and it…

Yeah, our network team is looking into other products now to do network mapping. Things like LiveAction and a few others. It's a shame because I can get SolarWinds to do what they want... sort of. I just don't have the time to spend to make it happen. Network Atlas not only takes a lot of time to create a good map in, it…

You ever figure this out? We have an F5 in front of 9 polling engines and we do not have SNAT enabled, but still we aren't seeing any flow data going to our polling engines when sending to the VIP, but if we modify a switch to send flow data directly to one of the polling engines it works fine. We can't figure it out...
