The colors chosen, and the order in which they are used, frequently puts very similar colors next to each other, making it hard to differentiate them. In the example below, it would be much more readable if colors 2 and 3 (counting from the top in the legend) were swapped, 8 and 9 were swapped, and 11 and 13 were swapped. I'm not color blind, but making two shades of purple adjacent is just cruel. :-)

Including Charts in Alert Emails
I'm in the process of converting a few of our alert emails and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do what I'm aiming to accomplish.
If a group goes down, for X number of minute an alert email is fired with some basic information such as time, link to group on Orion etc. On other network monitoring software I've used it's always been possible to include a chart of some description into the alert email such as a utilization chart on a utilization alert and so on. So I'm trying to do something a bit similar. I've had some limited success so far and can quite easily insert a chart into the body of the email for the whole day by doing the following
/Chart.aspx?ChartName=ContainerAvailability&NetObject=C:${GroupID}&Period=${MM}/${DD}/${YYYY} 0:00 AM~${MM}/${DD}/${YYYY} 11:59:00 PM&SampleSize=1M&ShowTrend=False&Width=640
However I'm having difficulty finding a way to do the same thing for different time frames such as a 7 day chart. Is there any way to manipulate the returned values of variables so that a date returning 14 can become 7, or a time of 11:00 can become 10:00?
Or maybe I'm doing things in an overly complicated way and have completely missed something. Wouldn't be the first time!
call details not monitored in VNQM
Hi All,
We have added some call managers in VOIP for IP phone and call monitoring.
But, we are not able to see any call details in Solarwinds. While checking on FTP server, CDR files are continuously getting uploaded.
What could be the issue, due to which call details are not monitored?
Need help..
Thanks.
Allow Basic Drawing in Network Atlas
It would make things cleaner and easier if we could create circles and squares on the screen to group objects rather than relying on a background map that may or may not be of the proper dimensions to contain your articles.
You Are Here - Part 1 - Making Sense of Modern InfoSec
Now that we all carry supercomputers complete with real-time GPS mapping in our pockets, a reference to physical maps may feel a bit antiquated. You know the ones I’m talking about; you can still find them at many malls or theme parks, and even some downtown city streets. It’s usually a backlit map on a pillar with a little arrow marking “you are here.” It’s designed to give you a sense of where you are and how to get where you're going. While that physical map may feel a bit dated, at least it’s still effective. That’s more than I can say for many of the InfoSec practices, products, and procedures we find at companies of all shapes and sizes.
That security gap is really not surprising though. Organizations and individuals alike are becoming more and more connected, while information and assets are becoming more and more digital. At the same time, the bad guys are becoming more and more organized and sophisticated. It feels like new threats, vulnerabilities, and breaches are announced every day. To keep pace, vendors seem to announce new products every week, not to mention all the new companies that are constantly popping up. As security professionals, we are left trying to sort out the mess. Which tools provide defense in depth, and which are just causing duplication? How do I even compare competing products and the protections they provide?
Luckily there are some models, frameworks, and best practices available to help us figure it all out.
Three of the most widely known and referenced are ISACA COBIT, ISO 27002, and NIST CSF:
- COBIT is a "business framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT” published by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). Governance is the key word there; this is a high-level framework to help executives execute policies and procedures. It’s the widest in scope, is best used for aligning business objectives with IT and security goals, and can be thought of as a strategic base for the ISO and NIST frameworks.
- ISO 27002 is a set of best practice recommendations for implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is essentially a list of checklists for operational controls that are used in conjunction with the requirements laid out in ISO 27001 to help ensure that your approach is comprehensive.
- The Cyber Security Framework (CSF) published by the US National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) is much more tactical in nature. Its most recognizable aspect is called the “Framework Core,” which includes five functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. It also includes “Implementation Tiers” and “Profiles” to help you define your current risk management abilities and future/target goals within each of the functions.
A couple additional frameworks that are less well known but worth reviewing are RMIAS and ATT&CK:
- RMIAS stands for Reference Model for Information Assurance & Security. This model "endeavors to address the recent trends in the IAS evolution, namely diversification and deperimeterization.” It describes four dimensions (security development lifecycle, information taxonomy, security goals, and security countermeasures) and incorporates them into a methodology that helps to ensure completeness, risk analysis, cost-effectiveness/efficiency, and consistency in your IAS practice.
- ATT&CK stands for Adversarial Tactics, Techniques & Common Knowledge. It "is a curated knowledge base and model for cyber adversary behavior, reflecting the various phases of an adversary’s lifecycle and the platforms they are known to target.” In other words, it contains deep knowledge about how and where the bad guys are known to attack. Provided by MITRE, a non-profit R&D organization, it is gaining wide acceptance among practitioners and vendors alike as a common language and reference.
Of course, there are also a growing list of industry specific frameworks, models, and regulations like HIPAA, HITRUST, FEDRAMP, PCI-DSS, SOC, CIS, and more. While all of this is great, I’m still left with those same questions: Which tools provide defense in depth, and which are just causing duplication? How do I even compare competing products and the protections they provide?
What we require is a more practical model of the specific technologies needed to secure our organizations.
Through the remainder of this series, I will introduce and describe a reference model of IT infrastructure security that aims to fill this gap. Over the next four posts I will illustrate four technology domains (perimeter, endpoint & application, identity & access, and visibility & control), including the current drivers and the specific categories within each. Then, in the final post, I will describe how this model fits within the broader ecosystem of cybersecurity countermeasures and provide some advice on how to put it all into practice.
Have you ever received a customer's or employee's sensitive data via e-mail?
What query can I execute in SDK to force UDT to unmonitor all ports?
The UDT GUI has a view or two that seems to allow a person to select all monitored nodes, or all monitored ports, and unmonitor them.
When I attempt that (57,000 ports) I get an error:
The output of the error follow at the bottom of this discussion.
I suspect there's a SWQL query that can be executed to accomplish this task. Might someone be kind enough to share it with me?
Yours,

Halloween Horrors: Real-Life Scary Stories from the Data Center & Beyond
The beginning of October means it’s time to start stocking up on candy, carving pumpkins, and picking out the perfect Halloween costume. But it’s also a time to scare yourself silly with cheesy Halloween movies and, of course, stories of times when chaos reigned in your data center.
The end user’s ghost haunts us all with innocent mistakes this Hallow’s Eve. From security oversights, to trying to troubleshoot their own issues, to accidentally breaking equipment through an unfortunate potion of liquids and electricity, IT pros have seen it all. With the spookiest day of the year approaching, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the scary stories you’ve experienced (or may have yet to experience!) – and we want to hear them!
Help us celebrate Halloween this year by submitting your real-life scary stories or nightmarish fears about end users by Wednesday, October 17 and in exchange, we’ll give you 250 THWACK points.
Capacity Planning Reports
I am running these reports against our production environment and when running a scenario where I am adding new VMs the results are a bit confusing. Under the CPU usage section it shows that we are no where near capacity. However, under the available virtual capacity section with the VM profiles it shows that we do not have sufficient resources for new VMs and the constraint is CPU. The only reasoning I can come up with is that the physical core count is too low since actual utilization is not high (~40%). If this is the case, it seems like it could be made clearer in the report. Or, if there is something I am missing, what could it be?
IPAM API to update subnet data?
Hi
I am new to Solarwinds IPAM and its API, and in the descriptions, it says that the API can do CRUD operations with subnets. When I looked at it, it references the subnet and parent data as SubnetID and ParentID. How do find out what the SubnetID for a subnet is? Also, how do I find the ParentID for the group? My main goal currently is to be able to move subnets into groups based on their location data. I can script it myself to put it into the group I want, so I don't need the script to figure that logic out. As long as I can script it so that I can move a subnet into a group I am happy Can someone help guide me in the right direction in accomplishing this? Thank you.
Use SNMP "SET" command prior to "GET" in UnDP
I would love a way to address this issue:
For at least a device (Optima Telecom - RIO) that has multiple Inputs/outputs, i need to issue a SET command before the GET command in order to receive the value for given I/O.
Explanation here: http://helpdesk.optimatele.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/12/0/io-states-via-snmp
SW technical support confirmed that it is not possible with 10.5. (Case #477270 )

Issue with alert raising
Hello
I've created a map of my site. Each building is represented and if I click one of them I can focus on a list of servers hosted in the relative IT room.
When a server is down, the red status is raised and on my map, the "red" status is appearing.
But when a component of the server is faulted, the red status is not propagated to the main map.
How to raise a visual alarm on the hisghest level when a component of a server is faulted, not only when the whole server is down?
Thank you for helping
NCM Compliance Reports Simplified
SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM)
Compliance Simplified
Security is at an all-time high for many network engineers. Either being asked “are we good?”, “How’s our security policies?”, or “Hey do we have any security policies in place??” We wanted to be able to resolve these questions and back them with reports to prove your network is compliant!
I’ve been working on an ebook to help unlock the mystery within NCM. Something that would help users and prospects to reach their full NCM potential. The attached documents are simply a chapter from this book that will help simplify compliance once and for all.
In the Compliance Head Geek episode we went over basic to advanced ways of using this feature. However, if you really want to dive in then please download the provided compliance documentation and follow the step by step with screenshots.
I've even provided a RegEx help document to bridge a gap from beginner to advanced users. This will help you to fine tune your searches and get the matches you need. You could say I have been in a cave for a long time writing and screenshotting… Seriously, it’s been intense!
The ultimate goal behind these documents is to provide users information that can be used at any level of product knowledge. Standardization and security needs is a perfect place to start with NCM in general. These guides will help you to leverage the power of NCM through compliance remediation reporting.

cisco device connected to other vendor
Looks like the application failed to find connectivity when a device that supports CDP or LLDP is connected to a device that does not support any of these protocols.
I suspect that the reason is that if one device support CDP then it expect that all attached device will support CDP as well.
However this is not the situation and there are lots of other devices connected to Cisco devices (Juniper, F5, checkpoint..)
So there should be an option to force bridge table based mapping for such connections
thanks,

NTM to use netbios in discovery to identify Windows Machines
Currently, the software is configured to get host names via SNMP or WMI using authentication.
I personally think that most users would enjoy a simple scan that detected all your windows hosts without any WMI or SNMP troubleshooting.
Please vote if you want to have this feature added to NTM.
Client-Server Application
Enable the ability of a Client-Server application. That way you can install Network Topology Mapper on a server, and run the Mapping from a client computer at multiple areas.
Info log when the Scan run
Scanning a network in NTM might tike few hours or days depends on the discovery settings. Sometimes, I thought it just hang contacting a node or doing something else on the background based on the small description at the bottom of the wizard. An Info log that will show what is happening when the activity runs. You have the option to show Error, Warnings, Info or Debug logs to control the level of information. Moreover this logs should be saved in txt files. This should help users investigating what is happening on the background or what process is taking too long or if there is a problem during the scan.
