I am currently rebuilding a SolarWinds Orion install from scratch on the latest version and adding all nodes and rebuilding all the monitoring and alerting and groups etc and was wondering if anyone has any good tips or tricks or cool features to make use of that are easy to miss? We have NCM, NPM, NTA and UDT modules. I am familiar with the platform but most experience has been on systems built by someone else with messy config for the grouping and alerting etc. I have spent a couple of days playing around with groups and alerting logic on the new server and it seems there are so many ways to build it all up so wondering if anyone had any good ideas to share to avoid a mess. At the moment I am trying to utilise dynamic queries and logic to make the final system easier to manage so that from a admin perspective a user can just run discovery for new devices and they will end up in the correct groups and correct alerts enabled for them with the help of the Custom Properties. It seems there are some key features missing like ability to import CSVs for groups to make the build process easier but maybe there are some ways around this? Anything you guys have found helpful and would like to share would be appreciated, thanks!
