Raise a support case, Harry Griffiths (SolarWinds Application Engineer) has identified the problem and has a fix. This problem killed our upgrade a few weeks ago and ended in a rather hasty rollback. The case number, with the fix in it was #1079283 "Orion very slow after upgrade, many elements not being displayed".

Excellent, so I lose an additional $200 ($140'ish in real money) a year, with no reward.

Just firing up a GNS3 instance to test against, as we speak.

Add them a custom properties? Go to <IPAM server>/Orion/IPAM/Admin/Admin.Attribute.List.aspx and create either a notes field or "Exists_in_hostfile" true/false type properties. These can then be viewed easily from the <IPAM server>/Orion/IPAM/subnets.aspx view, as you add the custom property into the view. Hope it helps

It is a known bug, edit the view, delete the Interface Downtime widget and save the view. Then edit the view again, re-add the widget, save and it works again.

I have just had one of our response team very confused with the same problem, who has spent the last few minutes with a now equally confused customer. The Interface is up everywhere (including the interface table) but not in this widget. Also the downtime is out by about 4 hours. I have confirmed that the widget is looking…

Which bit are you struggling with? As an admin user, open up Report Manager (<server>/Orion/Reports/Default.aspx) and click on "Create New Report" . On the Add Content Window, select "Custom Table" and click "Select and continue". On the next windows, I'd select "Advanced Selection" and Interface from the drop down (over…

Hi Thad, Have a look at this post, it should help. Trap rules - using trap varbinds within rules Message me back, if you're struggling. Good luck, yaquaholic

Motifu, Why not create a Custom Property (such as "isDB" = true/false ) and assigning it to all of your databases you want excluded, then filter on that custom property? If you have a look at http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/orion/docs/orionfiltersyntax.pdf you will find: Filtering by Custom Property The data types…

Hi there, have a look in the database, at the Nodes view, it should have all the things you need. SELECT [NodeID] --unique ID for each device ,[IP_Address] ,[Caption] -- aka hostname ,[Vendor] -- Who made it ,[SysObjectID] -- SNMP System Object ID ,[Description] -- Details of the device type, usually with OS details…

I don't believe it is. You can find a list of the all SWQL functions supported, on the Orion SDK page on Github: SWQL Functions · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

Have a look in your Powershell examples folder - Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\APM\SampleScriptMonitors\PowerShellScripts

You will have to use the Universal Device Poller (on your Orion server) to create the SNMP polls to get the required data from the cluster.

Hi Vijay, You need to add the Meraki dashboard as a node, then edit the node properties and under polling you will find a Meraki option. Log onto your Meraki portal and locate your API key, from the organisation list and enter that. Once it has polled you'll see the status, as you the dashboard does and a new Wireless tab…

Hi there, A really good place to start - OrionSDK/Samples at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub Regards, Rich

I would start with looking at the PowerShell functions: Get-ADUser $userName Get-ADObject -Properties lastLogon They are both part of the Active Directory PowerShell Module (Active Directory Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell ) Then maybe create PowerShell monitor to poll for user with ($user.LastLogon -gt $time) type logic.…

But today's date is 14/3/2019. No Pi for us Brits

I am afraid to say, I copy'pasta'd the script into a Windows PowerShell Monitor, changed the URL and it worked. both on my Orion server with Execution Mode: as both local and remote, without issue. And then tried it remotely on another server with Execution Mode Remote Host and it worked there too. Have you tried enabling…

My thouhgts: Sounds possible, but it would have to be seperate from Orion, as by the time it has lost its DB connection you have lost everything. You could create a PowerShell script that would run a SQL query against your DB (somehting simple like SELECT TOP 1 Caption FROM Nodes) from your Orion server and if it fails,…

Hi Praveen, For the host name use: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.Caption} For the rest have you tried the search tool? Regards, yaquaholic

Hi Praveen, Why don't you duplicate and edit the alerts and add the detail you want? From the alert's Trigger Actions, edit the email action and add the variables you want in the email. Regards, yaquaholic

Log onto your Orion server and Open up the Trap Viewer, from here you create an Alert, which will show up in your Orion. Try the customer portal for more information: Monitor SNMP traps - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Hope it helps

Why did you get it? We run monitoring as a service and when people are paying for something, they tend to get a little upset when it's not available. How did you convince your company it is necessary? Was within the requirements for the monitoring system and the budget was much less of a concern back then. How satisfied…

Telco Systems only have one MIB and I can't see any CPU, memory or system specifics in there. Here's break down of the Telco Systems: EDGELINK-MIB (SMIv1) - mibDepot.com - Vendor MIBs So if the metrics you are after ar avaiable from SNMP, then they'll be in the standard system MIBs. Can you do a smpwalk of the device? If…

Hi amrita1690, As mesverrum said, it doesn’t appear to be possible. I did some testing myself and I cannot get any group custom property, from within the group definition. The logical way to proceed is to assign these a node custom properties, defining Location, Site and View to each node. Then use dynamic queries to…

Hi amrita1690 Absolutely, there is! You were so close to finding it, as well! It all depends where the custom property is assigned. If it is a node custom property, select Node from the dropdown (that you circled blue on the screenshot, in your post). Then your custom properties will be available in the Orion Object drop…

Before we get too deep into this, what are the OIDs you are looking at, as it is always worth checking that someone else hasn't done it already? Failing that, I would be looking at PowerShell to wrap the snmpget/snmpwalk command to achieve what you are after. 

Use the Universal Device Poller (UDP), you will need to log into your Orion server via remote desktop. Create a Universal Device Poller and report on Cisco serial numbers - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC.

Why not just use a Report? Here is a quick example I have made up for you: NCM Report - Devices with Telnet still configured.xml
