do we need to make any modification in Database
Hi All,
looking for your guidance,
I have installed the Main Poller then Installed the additional poller reporting to the main server IP. but now we have build the HA of main polling engine using virtual IP.
As while installing the additional poller I have mention main poller ip, but now we have configured the virtual IP. So now do I need to change or modify an IP address to virtual IP address?
If yes, then which are the impacting database tables
Thanks

Unable to poll ESXi Host directly in VMan 8.1
Have a problem where polling an ESXi Host through vCenter returns different hardware results to polling directly.
Able to check this with an old version of Solarwinds that we are migrating away from.
Looked at the workaround on our new and yet live system shows that this workaround is not possible.
Similar to this: Troubleshooting Guide for Hardware Health for ESX host Server Polled Through vCenter - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help a…
Which leads you to this:https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Change_a_host_to_poll_through_vCenter_vs_Poll_ESX_server_directly
It appears that on this latest version, it is possible to change how a vCenter itself is polled: Basic, VMan Appliance or VMan Orion but it is not possible to select an ESX Host itself and change how that is polled, ie via vCenter or direct. Not possible to select that option at that point, greyed out.
Does anyone know if this functionality has been removed or is this a bug or issue in install?
Thank you

Perfstack: Adjust Real Time Polling Interval
Greetings,
Is it possible to adjust the polling interval for Perfstack's real-time polling?
The reason why I need to adjust this is that the current 1 second polling interval is much shorter than the time it takes for SNMP counters for interfaces to update. The result is that when I use Perfstack to monitor traffic on an interface in real time, it comes out looking like the attached image (the interface pictured is a 60G LACP channel). If there were some way to adjust the polling interval from 1 second, to say 5 or 10 seconds it would smooth this graph out nicely.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

SolarWinds Port Lockdown
So, we are trying to lock down out port communications in a new datacenter standup. In this datacenter I am only deploying one APE. I got the APE installed (after allowing port 1434 which I didnt see in the docs) and I sent our network folks the port requirements which they said they have deployed. Now though I am having issues with SNMP and WMI tests through the web console. I have tested WMI with wbemtest from the poller to a node and that works. Whenever I attempt to go to 'Edit Node' and run a 'Test' having SNMP selected I get the following: Could not connect to net.tcp://<newpoller>:17777/orion/core/businesslayer. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:21.0011528. TCP error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond <newpoller>:17777. WMI times out with no real error
I thought that maybe there was an issue with the port 17777 rules, but our network team verified that everything was there. Right now Im at a loss and Im not sure what to look at the troubleshoot the issue further.
Here are the requirements I sent over:
Inter-Datacenter Port requirements:
1433 TCP The port used for communication between the APE and the Orion database.
1801 The port used for MSMQ messaging from the Orion Web Console to the APE.
5671 TCP The port used for SSL-encrypted RabbitMQ messaging from the Orion Web Console to the APE
17777 TCP The port used for communication between the APE and the Orion Web Console
Intra-Datacenter port requirements:
161 UDP The port used for sending and receiving SNMP information between the APE and all nodes in the new DC
162 UDP The port used for receiving trap messages between
135, 1024-65535 TCP These ports are used for WMI conversations between the APE and all nodes in the new DC
This poller is the only piece of solarwinds infrastructure that is in this new DC everything else lives elsewhere

Pure Storage non-SRM
Im trying to find documentation on monitoring Pure Storage without using SRM. Right now I am trying to add it to NPM with SNMP, but I cant seem to figure out what is needed. Is this possible? If it is, what documentation am I missing? All the documentation I have found so far is about adding it to Orion using SRM.

Code Compliance Report
I have NCM collecting configs and such from the network. I am also writing some configuration compliance reports as well and the thought came up as to why can't I do this type of check for code compliance.
\What do I mean by code compliance? Here are some examples:
I want to check if the following code is on these particular models. If it is not, I want it to fail a compliance check and be alerted to this failure.
N9K-C9300 7.0(3)I5(2)
N9K-C9500 7.0(3)I5(2)
WS-C2960S 15.0.2-SE11
WS-C2960X 15.2.2E7
I haven't been able to find a report that already exists or a way to do this in the compliance area. I found an old article from 2014 that asks for almost this exact thing, but there was no resolution.
Any way to do this now that it is 2018??

,tostring(tolocal(n.LastBoot)) as LastBoot
,CONCAT(HOURDIFF(tolocal(n.LastBoot),getdate())/24,' Day(s) ',
HOURDIFF(tolocal(n.LastBoot),getdate())-(HOURDIFF(tolocal(n.LastBoot),getdate())/24)*24,'h ',
MINUTEDIFF(tolocal(n.LastBoot),getdate())-(MINUTEDIFF(tolocal(n.LastBoot),getdate())/60)*60,'m') AS Duration
FROM Orion.Nodes n
WHERE n.LastBoot IS NOT NULL
and
(n.caption like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'
or n.ip_address like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%'
or n.vendor like '%${SEARCH_STRING}%')
ORDER BY MINUTEDIFF(tolocal(n.LastBoot),getdate()) desc

Node UP alert; Node DOWN no-alert
Newbee here. Looking for best/easiest way to create a grouping of nodes for which alerts are generated when the node is up/reachable and no alerts when node is down/unreachable. Would also like to easily and administratively move nodes into and out of this special group.

Missing video on Upgrade Guide for NPM?
Trying to view the video on the following link (under the line "The following video (8:01) can help with migrations for Orion Platform 2016.1 and earlier.")
I get a broken link... and tried grabbing the source of the video but got errors from "vidyard" that the video was removed.
Is this the same for everyone? or just me?
Thanks,

Time out errors when downloading APE updates
A couple of my sites have greater distance and latency involved when their APE's need to get Polling Engine updates from my main NPM instance during hot fix / patch episodes.
They regularly give me this error:
If I let these servers just sit without clicking Yes or No, I can see the progress bar in the background continue moving to the right until the download is complete, and it appears all I need do is click "Next. But that's not possible while the previous dialog box is unanswered, and I can't click X on it to remove it.
If I click No, the process ends and I have to start all over again.
If I wait until the back progress bar makes it all the way to the right, and then the Solarwinds Orion Compatibility Check Summary window (above) appears, then I can click Yes, and the front dialog box closes I can click "Next" and move through the patch/upgrade.
It seems as if that initial window about the Downloading Process being interrupted is caused by some arbitrary timer that expires.
1. Do you ever experience this?
2. Is there something I can do to prevent this? The download is not truly interrupted.
3. Can we get this corrected/repaired/fixed?

Volume utilization alerts using Orion thresholds
I want to make sure I understand how SolarWinds will alert me for high utilization on server volumes. I have the Orion thresholds set for 95% and 98% for warning and critical. While setting up the alerts for volume utilization I don't really see the proper trigger for this. How can I ensure that I will receive alerts for any volume based on the Orion threshold values?

SolarWinds Domains/IP's To Add to Trusted Sites (Partially Solved)
SOLVED (kind of):Figured this one out myself. After doing a Wireshark capture while downloading something from the CustomerPortal, I confirmed that the files are hosted at amazonaws.com, which was already added as a Trusted Site on the server, yet any file downloaded from there was still "Blocked" and had to be UnBlocked. This doesn't technically solve my main question which is "Is there a list of external Domains and IP Addresses that Orion polling engines contact?", but I at least solved the issue of Trusted Site downloads still being blocked.
For those interested in solving it, here is what I did:
- Opened the inetcpl.cpl from an administrator command prompt (right-click on cmd and choose Run as Administrator)
- Clicked on the Security tab and chose Trusted Sites
- Clicked the Custom Level button near the bottom
- Scrolled down to the Miscellaneous section
- Changed the option for "Launching applications and unsafe files" from Prompt to Enable
- Then clicked "OK", then "Apply".
Now, you can technically do this for the Internet Zone, but I highly recommend you don't. Instead, add the domains you know are trusted (like solarwinds.com, amazonaws.com, etc…) to your Trusted Sites list, then change this setting. As long as you don't have a domain group policy overriding this it should fix it for you.
Original question:
There used to be a Support article that listed all of the Domains and IP's that SolarWinds uses to host their websites and downloadable content. This was useful for companies that had tight firewall restrictions since they could add exceptions for these to their ACL's. While we don't have heavy restrictions on our internet connections here, I do like to keep the Internet Control Panel Trusted Sites list on our SolarWinds servers filled in with all of the domains and sites that it contacts to insure that the Trusted Site policies are applied to the proper sites. However, even though I have *.SolarWinds.com added as a trusted site on all of our SolarWinds servers and my local workstation, any time I download something from the Customer Portal I still have to right-click on it and Unblock, making me think that the actual installers are hosted on a third party site. We have amazonaws and amazon added, so if it was hosted there it still wouldn't be blocked.
Is there still a list anywhere of all of the IP's/Domains that SolarWinds servers access, including the domain where the Customer Portal installer and hotfix files are hosted? Especially since we have the all-in-one online installers now, I'd really like the Trusted Site policy being applied to all of the downloads that the installer gets.
Message was edited by: J. Henson to indicate that the issue is mostly solved

Migrating all Pollers to 2012 and Upgrading to 12.1
The imminent GA of npm 12.1 and sam 6.4 is the catalyst for me to finally migrate all of our pollers off of 2008 R2. I was thinking of timing this with upgrading to npm 12.1. I think this should work in theory, any gotchas to this? too many moving parts?
My though process:
*I will be reusing the ip addresses from old servers. Debating whether i should use old hostnames, according to the KB i should be able to update hostnames in SQL.
1. Deactivate licenses
2. Shutdown pollers
3. Install NPM/SAM/IPAM/NCM/NTA/WPM on new main poller
4. Activate Licenses for main poller
5. Run additional poller install and activate license for each additional poller.

Offline orion installation...really?
Hello,
I am attempting SW Orion NPM upgrades to NPM 12.2 in order to remediate STIG vulnerability ID V-41036. Unfortunately, all of the servers this needs to performed on are in fact not internet accessible. So, First I downloaded the Solarwinds-Orion-NPM-12.2-OfflineInstaller.exe. Ok right? not so much and a couple of interesting discoveries. Strangely, when I run this virgin absolute latest (from what I can tell) offline installer. one of the first screens of it it that "a new installer is available and it wants to download. How is that since I just downloaded it from the customer portal??Dunno. anyways, I chose to skip this and proceed... a little confusing but OK I've seen stranger things. the the installer wizard runs a series of pre-deployment tests. Here's the meat of my post purpose. The test results are shown with "No internet connection detected. Installation cannot continue"...can't seem to skip past this. Also, for some odd reason, the installer discovers that I also have NCM and UDT installed, lists them as some "manual upgrades are necessary" (for NCM) and insists on doing so. I am not seeing a way I can De-Select these and simply continue with NPM only. Ultimately, the installer cannot continue and actually claims "download the offline installer" and gives me a link...so what the heck, I do it again and again. this time I downloaded the Solarwinds-Orion-OfflineInstaller.exe, which appears to be the exact 2.7GB painful download and results the exact same way... So will you help a fellow American out who's down on his luck?...can anyone shed some light on this situation? ALL and ANY Feedback will be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance, Tony

Dependency Management for non administrators
is there a way to allow non administrative users to manage dependencies?
a lot of people previously had admin access that i took away from them and it's turning out a lot of what they did was either easily available because of their admin access or only available because of their admin access.
i added the dependency tree item to the homepage but "manage dependencies" is not there for them. it is for me. i dont see anything specific regarding this permission but i need to be able to give it to them. shouldn't be something only administrators can do.
any suggestions?

I am not sure why, but I downloaded the AIO Offline installer and it would not run until I gave my server internet access. Can someone explain this to me?
How are these things not identified during the Beta and RC runs? When an upgrade becomes GA, the only problems that should exist should be related to customization.
