That is amazing! Thanks for sharing .. you have inspired me @"mrxinu" - my boss is now pushing for certifications .. I hate certs, but this sounds like more fun than work! I am abandoning the Palo Alto Certification and am going to focus on my true love, Orion! I am a true generalist and we are coming back into style!!! If…

WOW!!! @"serena" SAM is my lifeblood, my turn to ... along with NPM. I am so very pleased with what you all continue to do with these great products. Although I will remain in my private cloud for a couple of years, it is a relief to know that you all will have me covered when we hit the skyline! Thanks to everyone for…

@"jason.carrier" I was away from THWACK for a little while .. was so excited to hear about the upgrade! I have been taking time today to explore all the new features ... first time ever!!! I really appreciate the hard work that goes into each and every product. Thanks for making my job a little easier, and thanks to this…

This has been a very difficult time. I work for 911 - so each and every one of our dashboards if so very critical! There are only 14 people responsible for the day to day operations; there are 8 of us in IT. I monitor the storage, would you believe that I have both the old VMAN Appliance running along with the new VMAN…

@"Dez" - I am THWACKIN Off today ... taking time to explore all my products. I will have to say that my IPAM deployment needs some attention. I VOW to make it better with the upgrade! It would behoove me to take advantage of the integration with NTA!! I am digging the possibilities!

Awesome UI improvement @"Dez" - can't wait to implement. I wish I could take advantage of the automated firmware upgrades. Due to the nature of my business, 911, we have to be physically connected to what we are upgrading, with backup plan in hand. I got wind of the available upgrade after I was able to THWACK again!…

I found out about the upgrades... this is the first time I have had time to explore all the features of my products ... I really appreciate you taking the time to post this great information @"jreves" - since I am the owner of the products .. I can pull the trigger at any time... I do plan on upgrading soon - I can't wait…

THANK YOU! I too am getting windows dumb... this is great stimulation... going to check it out... I like where this is going!

You have done a very good job of documenting. I will try to use your document before the end of the month ... if I do .. I will let you know how it goes ... I have gathered similar information ... would be nice if you had a non-biased 3rd party try to use your instructions ... hope to let you know .... time is not on my…

Thanks AGAIN!!!!

Did I say THANK YOU!!! Finally getting to the documents! Getting ready to deploy the PA's in HA - have learned so much before the deployment - I feel really equipped to tackle this project and have good visibility after I stand the security solution up! I really love THWACK! I hope to help as many folks as you some day!!!…

Thanks for sharing - good information

Oh my, Solarwinds makes it so very easy to make you look so very GREAT! Take a minute and thing about what matters for the big guys! Looks are everything. I copied a couple of shots below - start big, then drill down into your environment - capture stats that matter, Solarwinds presents the "pictures" I need to tend to a…

I would first test SNMP on the MERAKI Testing SNMP Multiple tools exist to test SNMP functionality on various operating systems. Windows based operating systems can use an open source tool called net-snmp. Follow these instructions to install net-snmp and test SNMP access to the Cloud Controller: * Download net-snmp and…

You failed to post the error!

What a great question - as ... I have had the Orion Suit installed for quite sometime... only recently did I join Thwack ... I have been missing out. I loaded SolarWinds - NPM, APM, NTA, IPAM, Config MAN, Virtualization, Help Desk, and DameWare... what a great start huh!!! I now visit Thwack on a daily basis - I go to the…

Heck YEAH!!! I noticed it right away!! Very cool!!! We belong to a cool community!

I have to say ... I had the worst year with respect to hours and stress. I used THWACK many times to escape and feel somewhat valuable. That same year .... ok this year .. I was selected to be a MVP. I did not think that I was worthy of the title, it was a dream to be a MVP! We all just want to make a difference! It is not…

I am assuming that you are using Orion - ?? In order to pull "group" information, you must first set up your groups. Go to Settings on the Orion Home page, Under Node and Group Management - select Group Management - and Add New Group - you will be able to make as many groups as you need to. Once you define the group, you…

So .. you can add a Multiple Object Chart - add Multiple Object Chart into the view of your NPM by customizing the page - then go to the page and configure you OBJECTS: Choose Object Type Select the Chart Select specific interfaces (AP's) Since I am not monitoring AP's - I used the Controller with VLAN's - to show you an…

Please mark this question as answered if you feel that I have guided you in the right direction!

Bobbleheads of one of the head geeks - any and all will do!!!

Honestly ... you have to live by ... you are only as good as the last backup... AND WHERE IS THAT STORED! The lessons learned from 911 - Tower 2 was DR site for Tower 1 and vice versa ... big mistake ... we always have to take others experiences and learn... or you learn the hard way. I read the whole article.. sounds like…

NO ... but it does depend upon the size of your network!! I have SAM, Config Manager, IP Address Manager, NPM, NetFlow, and Virtualization Manager all using the same database. I am running all the latest SW software on Server 2019, SQL Server 2016. Hope this helps.

So ... I looked up $ in Linux : "$" - is just a sign of the shell prompt, means that shell is ready to accept commands, you can understand it as a separator after which, you can interact with a shell. Can also be "#" which shows that root is the user who's session is going on. Taking this into consideration - does your…
