I have added my firewall in Solarwinds NPM. We have several Site to Site VPN running on it but its not reflecting on the solarwinds. Its showing all the vpn either down or inactive while in reality they are up.
Hello,
I am looking for anyone who has experience in setting up a custom alert for groups.
We created the group and use a custom attribute in the trigger condition.
The members of this group make up all of the APM, WPM, Windows Servers and SQL Servers that make up a critical application.
The logic we need is as follows:
If Server X is down - Group is Down
If both Server Y and Z are down - Group is Down
If APM component A and WPM A are both down for X minutes - Group is Down.
Our goal is to get a customized trigger condition that reflects the nature of our application infrastructure, fail-overs, and redundancies..
So that the Group is Down alert is triggered when the application is actually down and not just a single component that may not be 'down' but might be 'critical'
Thank you for any info or examples.
I was wondering if the team uses dpa and the sql plan tool to monitor Solarwinds db activity and tune code for subsequent releases?
This morning I went to the Success Center and found that there was no search box. Yesterday links I found on google were taking me to the top page of the success center not the article referenced.
Is this a new feature or is the Success center having problems.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had an easy way for displaying serial numbers, service tags, or model numbers in a list using Solar Winds. I've been trying to create a report to do it for me, but I'm still new to Solar Winds, so I'm sure there's something I'm missing.
I'm happy to answer any question you may have for me.
Thanks,
Gus E.
Security Team is asking me why SolarWinds recommends excluding certain directories from av scanning.
I was asked why does C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\ need to be excluded from av scans on the app server. I was also asked whether it would be ok to exclude just the solarwinds subdirectory in the NTA directory. So my NTA data is on f:\programdata\solarwinds subdirectory and I was asked whether we can exclude the scanning on f:\programdata\solarwinds subdirectory instead. I originally asked to exclude the whole f:\ directory from av scanning but this isn't the safest option. As I keep reading the list of directories to exclude it looks like I need the whole f:\ excluded.
What are your thoughts???
***The directories to exclude were listed on Antivirus directory exclusions for NPM - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support ***
Is there a way to change the polling interval for ASA and NEXUS CLI polling? I would like to poll my device with SNMPv3 every 120 seconds, but do not want to CLI polling as often.
Thank you all for your insight,
Kyle
Does anybody had an issue with adding Fortinet 60D node using SNMPv3? v3 community is just fine but I'm not able to add it in v3, test fails.
If anyone knows about it or done it before, would you please share your configurations maybe or some hint on how is it working on your side?.
Thank you.
Best,

Hi All,
I configured an SWQL query to show interface percent utilization, but i am unable configure custom search in that script, please help, below is the SWQL script.
SELECT
n.NodeName AS Node,
n.DetailsUrl AS [_Linkfor_Node],
'/Orion/images/SubViewIcons/Network_02.png' AS [_Iconfor_Node],
i.InterfaceName AS Interface,
i.DetailsUrl AS [_Linkfor_Interface],
'/Orion/images/SubViewIcons/Routing.png' AS [_Iconfor_Interface],
i.InPercentUtil AS RECEIVE,
i.OutPercentUtil AS TRANSMIT
FROM
Orion.NPM.Interfaces as i
LEFT JOIN Orion.Nodes as n ON n.NodeID=i.NodeID
WHERE
(i.InterfaceIndex = 6 and i.InterfaceName LIKE 'Se%') OR
i.InterfaceName LIKE 'wan1' OR
i.InterfaceName LIKE 'port1' OR
i.InterfaceName LIKE 'GigabitEthernet0/1'
ORDER BY
PercentUtil DESCENDING
Sorry I am new - was trying to find out how to get THWACK points for the (3) courses I just attended
I have already linked my account to the Customer Portal but my points did not show up??
Nationwide Dark Theme bump. On "The Price is Right"!! Aired June 13th, 2018.
They said no product placement or ads. I thought, "No problem, #DarkTheme is an destination not a product."
DarkTheme for Solorwinds Orion! - YouTube
Not sure where to post this. Not like any other forum I've ever used so here goes.
I have done several of the things outlined in missions but they still show as grey and not completed. For instance, I think you would all agree that I have set an avatar but it is not showing completed. I've also followed and liked but not received credit in missions.
Nobody has responded to my helpdesk email request after several days so that is seeming like a dead end for my first week at thwack.
What are the trending certifications in the industry right now?
Which certifications would you be excited to potentially win in upcoming giveaways?
Tell us your thoughts below!
I know by now a lot of you have been wondering where your points are from doing the THWACK Participation Mission for the last two days. Some have been able to obtain their points automatically, while others are still trailing behind. Hopefully this post will help shine some light on the process that's happening and the steps moving forward.
Yes, your points should have been automatically applied to your account from the trigger that was put in place for them. That being said, due to the volume of actions being taken for this specific mission it could be hindering performance on these. This is why some are seeing them appear with no problem and others haven't had them kick over yet.
That being said, we have all that delicious data that will allow us to track everything regardless. So not to fear, we will make sure all points awarded to those who participated by the end of next week.
I hope everyone enjoyed their THWACKcamp 2018 experience and are looking forward to joining us again next year!
Is it possible to mute alerts for a group?

We had to reset one of our authenticating password for our Orion Application and I have reset the password everywhere I can find it in our Orion Web interface but we still get lockouts for bad passwords. I have reset the password in the SAM Settings, IPAM Settings, UDT Settings and Virtualization Settings but can't find anywhere else that is using this username and password. Any ideas where else credentials may be used that I am missing. I have checked services and don't see this user there either. These are the modules we are using.
