Yeah, I just figured this out the hard way. I figured out how to crack open the Mibs.cfg file thinking if I could just edit this manually and insert/modify the SysObjectOID mappings to Vendor/MachineType fields it would be a lot easier than creating and maintaining a bunch of custom Pollers in Manage Pollers (not to…

Old post, I know, but I came across it while trying to find a solution for my related issue. However, my issue is pretty much the opposite of this in that I am looking for a way to automate removing a resource from a ton of views. The new "Incoming Connections" view resource seems to cause our Application Details views to…

PerfStack has real-time bandwidth utilization? Really?

I finally found it via a reply from somebody in another thread somewhere: Success Center

Very awesome sstark85!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I've got almost 200 Nodes that need AppInsight for IIS assigned to them and configuring them seemed like a daunting task. As I'm imbedding your code into a foreach loop and making it work for our environment, I've come across a few things I have questions…

I don't see how that could work i_like_eggs since the IP Address field is a string in the Orion database. I just copied your query and modified the IP's to match ranges in our database and it gives all kinds of crazy results. SQL Server doesn't have a built-in knowledge on how to work with IP's (thus why they are formatted…

I seem to remember a post at some point on the Orion SDK forums (can't find it right now) where you can update SQL data over the API. With that in mind, wouldn't it be possible to send a SQL Update and/or Insert statement to make this possible? 

Sorry, what? I don't think you are understanding what I'm asking about... I'm quite aware of how to customize SolarWinds alerts. That isn't what I'm talking about at all nor did I say anything about that in my post. My only issue is with using custom variables that are not available in the variable picker when editing…

Dude... This. Is. Awesome!! Thank you so much man. This will help me so much with this project.

There already is a support case (mentioned in my OP ), and they just sent me a buddy drop the other day, unfortunately I just got a horrible case of food poisoning, so I've been pretty out of it for the last couple of days... I hope to get it installed tonight. Thanks!

Sounds like this would be a great feature request as it would be nice to allow the users to choose where they want the legend.

This is super sweet. I feel so inadequate saying this yet again, but thank you so much tdanner for another quick, accurate, and extremely helpful answer. It works like a charm!! By the way, I used the $xml.diffgram.DocumentElement.ExecuteSQLResults method that he suggested as that was the simplest way.

Yeah, it's so strange that these products weren't integrated. I get that Pingdom is marketed more towards the DevOps type users and Orion WPM is marketed more towards the Operations/Infrastructure type of users, but it seems to me integrating Pingdom data into Orion would be clearly beneficial... Especially considering how…

Thank you so much for your prompt reply tdanner (as always). Now we are getting a 500 error. I've poured through the SWIS logs but can't find anything that would indicate why... Is the URL we are sending formatted correctly or is there something special we need to do to authenticate or anything?

I'm fairly certain you need to reboot, then run the config wizard. Probably what you meant (since that is what you did), but just wanted to clarify for anyone else reading that may get confused. Yes, you'll need to manually run the config wizard after reboot. It won't pop up on its own like it did after install. 

Ehh, kind of. The problem is I've found that the asset inventory Hardware agent column isn't nearly as complete as the Hardware Info Agent Name and Agent Version column. Those two things are collected through two different pollers it seems and one is more complete than the other. In other words, I have a lot of NULL fields…

Good point. How would FoE even work with NPM 12 since it has its own failover feature built in? Especially since this failover feature seems to work quite similarly to FoE. I admittedly know virtually nothing about the new NPM 12 failover feature, so maybe there is no way this could be causing an issue, but it is an…

Keep in mind, what's throwing the error is the Server Tray program, which is separate than the actual service itself. If you want, you can just go into Services.msc and set the service to start automatically. However, if you are getting errors when trying to configure settings the server tray program as well as when trying…

Did they offer any solution on getting rid of the expired license from the system? Yeah, it doesn't technically matter that it's in there and expired, but it's quite annoying to see, especially since it shows as an expired license in the notifications. It only bothers me a little, but to managers that don't know much about…

Perfect Dan, thanks! I didn't know I could still just use the Set-SwisObject cmdlet. Since there was a verb just for updating Alert Actions I thought that I had to use that.

I ended up discovering this on my own, but I'll mark your answer as correct since you posted it before I edited my comment to include this, and that's assuming I ever would have remembered to do so. I really wish they would just add a function that lets you pick a row from a table based on the row number, row position, or…

Thank you for the response. Yes, our maintenance is running successfully every day. I have a log parser monitor that searches it for errors and warnings each day and a file age monitor that alerts when older than 24 hours. I'll go through the log and see if I see anything funny, although I know there isn't a warning or…

Amazing response as always tdanner , thanks. 2.) SWQL Studio 2.1.13.0 Orion modules: 3. Ok, I thought I understood about including the "KeyPropertyIndex = 0" line to remove duplicates until I started looking at the table more and noticed that a lot of the duplicate prefixes havve a KeyPropertyIndex of 0... See further…

I can... I'd think most people could because honestly who is going to come to Thwack just to say everything went as expected? You're really only going to get people with complaints posting on here, so it could make it look bad. It's like how people think crime is worse than ever in the U.S. because they are constantly…

Well, yeah... But that isn't really relative to this post I think. I know you jest and I am smiling, but I think this is a pretty easy fix for them. Look how much they have improved the update process and communication. They just missed this bit, that's all. They just need to get the team that does Release Notes integrated…

Excellent post mesverrum. I myself resisted web reports for quite a while and was determined that Report Writer was amazing and that web reports were not. However, after taking the time to learn web reports in Orion I wouldn't want to go back to the old Report Writer ever. There is so much you can do in web reports it is…

@"tony.johnson" Yes Tony, that does work. Unfortunately, we build these dashboards for other teams, so a workaround just doesn't cut it as we can't expect everyone on these teams to know to zoom in/out and stuff. The dashboard just needs to work before it can be deployed to the teams. I'm glad there is a fix though and I…

I really wish we could use this new feature, but after upgrading to the newest 2020.2.1 platform version a couple of nights ago, the wobbling is still present when using the modern dashboards. We can't present this to users when there's a high chance it will do this. As long as the browser is in full screen, it seems to do…

Yeah, it's a limitation of SQL and since the backend API essentially relies on SQL queries, it becomes a limitation of the product. We solved it by creating an automation PowerShell script that runs regularly as a scheduled task on one of our polling engines. It goes and finds custom property values that are set to NULL…

Great news! It's a known issue and they already have a fix for it. To apply the fix, the support tech simply stopped the services on all polling engines (including the primary), replaced the two DLL files on all of the polling engines with the new fixed version she provided, then restarted the services. We then tested and…
