Possibility to activate the Asset Inventory View for all Nodes

Hello there,

in my company, we have more than 2000 Server-Nodes (Not to Mention all of the Network-Nodes).

In the phase of the initial configuration of solarwinds, we didn't activate the Asset Inventory-Tab for our Nodes.

Now, after the initial configuration, we wanted to turn our attention to the other features of solarwinds and recognized that it isn't possible to activate the Asset Inventory-Tab for all nodes simultaneously. I think you understand that we can't manually check the box for every single node. I asked the support if maybe there's a way through a Database command, but they weren't able to help me.

I think I'm not the only one wo want to activate some settings like this for specific/all nodes at once.

Is there a way to solve my problem?

Thank you!

Greetings Dominic

  • In recent versions of Asset Inventory, It is possible to disable multiple nodes using SWIS verb Orion.AssetInventory.Polling.DisablePollingForNodes.

    So you can call it in SWQL studio like this:

    To generate a list of NodeIDs, which are required here you can use SWIS query similar to this:

    SELECT  CONCAT('<int>', NodeID,'</int>') AS col1

    FROM Orion.AssetInventory.Polling

    Marking this feature request as implemented per Tomas' instructions.

  • I would recommend not to enable Asset Inventory for many hundreds of agentless nodes in single bulk.

    If the nodes are polled via the Orion agent, then it is not an issue. But if all they are WMI agentless nodes, enabling them in one step could cause overloud of poller server in the time of polling (once per 24 hours or what polling frequency for AI is configured)
