Are we looking at April or May?

How would you separate the two? To have feelings you need to be able to think about others.

well with a hammer and file you can flatten it out and sharpen it to be a knife! Just don't try that with a plastic spoon.

Regardless they really should be communicating updates on a regular basis. I think the lack of communication is really killing this site. It doesn't have the traffic it had before.

Well, it is the thought that counts…

What version of SolarWinds are you running? I'm on 2025.2 and do not have the option of setting the url on the tile.

Ok, thanks for the additional information. The link, /apps/ncm/nodes/status/1 needs to be added to the Widget Link URL under Title and Description. (See the first screenshot below.) Clicking on the link brings up the screen shown in the second screenshot. Notice it's already filtered for a status of Up. I hope this helps.

Can you provide some additional information. Which dashboard and what code you modified?

I have a similar report I did for VMware. I wanted to display all the guest systems grouped by the host. Your query is fine. You need to set up the group by at the table level. Notice the Group results by setting at the bottom of the page.

I want one! Does it come with an optional body cast? I have a feeling I may be needing one if I get it.

Basically, you need to create a SWQL Select statement that provides a number to each KPI box in the KPI object. So for nodes in critical state this should work: SELECT Count(H.NodeID) AS Critical FROM Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareInfo H JOIN Orion.NodesCustomProperties C ON H.NodeID = C.NodeID WHERE StatusDescription =…

I like it.

You can also do it through the API with either PowerShell or Python but it's going to take some work to get it done. Is this a one off or something that will be ongoing?

You could host it at Hidden Falls Offroad Park so we can do some wheeling! We could have SolarWinds monitor our roll and pitch and alert before an impending rollover! Just teasing, I do want to try meeting up with you out there sometime. The MVP host is an interesting idea. I'm looking forward to whatever you come up with.

Hi John, AS with everyone else, I was able to perform the shortcut but couldn't access this week's questions. While I definitely see the logic in closing down this month's mission, I wonder about alienating part of the userbase. It's kind of a daily ritual for most of us to take a look at Thwack, answer a mission question…

I can understand all the issues. We are all in IT and know what can happen, with major or even minor upgrades. I think it would help a lot if SW could give regular updates on the progress. John updated us on Monday, but we have not heard anything since then. Managing expectations is just as important as fixing the isues.

When does the Austin area get some attention?

And I didn't get any points either.

Traffic Information in NetPath and Visual Firewall Connections

Day 4 was a challenge although, I did get it right. I was sweating that one. Read carefully option 4, It does not mention SCP.

I get it with the world tour and everything this year money can be tight. I do enjoy the camaraderie you have with a physical SWUG event. Being able to connect with other users and SolarWinds personnel in a one-on-one basis is a huge plus. I did enjoy the world tour in Houston, it was great to visit with the various…

For todays, 9/12/2025, question it will not let me select all that apply.

I really like the fact that SolarWinds takes the time to listen to and ask question of their user base. This, unfortunately, doesn't happen with many other companies. I also like the way they run Thwack, it's a unique way to connect with and educate the users. Bravo!

This is nothing new. In the 80's they had tri-rail. The problem is what do you do when you get to the train station at your destination? Public transportation from the station to your ultimate destination is the issue. A lot of times it takes you just as long if not longer to get there depending how far you are from the…

I tried emailing the link you provided and received a bounce back with the following message: The group communityteam only accepts messages from people in its organization or on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list. I have also previously tried sending a message to thwack.admin@solarwinds.com.…

I second this. I have applications that require specific browsers to use. This would be a great help to me as well.

Same here. I answered the question and added the comment but no acknowledgement.

I also nee multiple charts to be automatically generated for a report. We are looking at weekly bandwidth over multiple nodes. Having the information in a table does not give it the readability of a chart.
