So long, Flash! Show us how you're using SEM for 3,000 THWACK points!

Hello all!

With Adobe Flash officially off the table, the SEM product team wants to check in with you: How are you finding the HTML5 interface? What do you like? Is there anything that you miss about the Flash console?

We're all ears! Send an email over to ashley.orr@solarwinds.com to schedule a 1-hour WebEx call to chat.

For someone using SEM and looking to bank some points for use in the Thwack store this is a great opportunity.
Oh, and most everything is back in stock in the Thwack store except for the headphones as of yesterday!!

We're using nothing but the HTML5 interface.... flash isn't even installed. Can't wait now for the new reporting. I know that will be big undertaking to get the reports added in.

We are in the same boat, and seriously I don't miss the old flash version AT ALL with the only exception being I lost a bunch of my saved queries in one of the upgrades.
But that's all good because that sweet query line is just as easy.

I am just trialing SEM now and I must say the HTML5 is good but not great, seems like many features from the flash version are missing while I am trying to read through the documentation. Including SNMP auto detect, and just basic things like the connectors seem very "Basic", I feel like I am missing something maybe because I am having a very hard time getting any connectors to actually work except for the basic ones.

Are there any queries that are impossible or harder to create in HTML5? Just making sure we're covering all our bases here

Thank you for brining this up! What connectors are you missing/are not working?

The sophos connector is not working, The Unifi Connector is not translating correctly, and there really is no way to test or troubleshoot connectors. I feel like the configuration is weak. I just assumed with a premium product, I would get more ability to configure my connectors and agents. Again I am only trialing this so far so there may be a way and I just do not know how yet.

ashley.orr Nope, just a little different. So basically just takes me a few moments longer, but I think I have found the resolutions for my situations.
If anything maybe a common query cheat sheet, or even throw me which SolarWinds training class/webinar/documents goes over queries, and I could just refresh there.
