Account limitations are a way of restricting the access of Orion user accounts to specific network objects, such as nodes, interfaces, groups, maps, or alerts. You can use account limitations to limit a user to only monitor Windows servers and not be able to view other devices that NPM monitors. For example, you can create a custom limitation based on the node property Operating System, and select only Windows as the value. Then, you can apply this limitation to the user account or user group that you want to restrict. The other options are not effective ways of limiting user access to specific devices, as they either affect the visibility of the entire view (view permissions), the layout of the view (account views), or the scope of the alerts (alert limitations). References:

• Limit user access to network areas with account limitations
• Create custom account limitations

 The easiest and fastest way to change the polling method for multiple nodes is to use the Manage Nodes feature in the web console. You can select up to 1000 nodes at a time and edit their properties in bulk. You can choose the polling method from the available options, such as ICMP, SNMP, WMI, or Agent, and provide the required credentials or settings. This will apply the changes to all the selected nodes without affecting their existing data oralerts. References: Choose the polling method to use in the SolarWinds Platform; Polling Intervals - Best Practices; SOLARWINDS NETWORK PERFORMANCE MONITOR

Capacity usage trends are calculated based on historical data. By default, the longest time period taken into account for calculating the capacity forecast is 180 days. The more historical data up to 180 days are available, the more precise is the calculated forecast. Forecast calculation methods include peak calculation and average calculation, which can be set globally or customized for individual objects. Capacity forecasting is available for nodes, interfaces, and volumes that meet certain requirements, such as being managed in NPM and having enough historical data in the database. References: Monitor capacity usage trends on the network and forecast capacity issues in NPM, Forecast capacity for nodes, interfaces, or volumes in NPM, Real-Time Network Monitoring Tool
