I am a Newbie to Solarwinds and Thwack. I have gotten quite a bit of help from all your posts and articles. One of the things I thought would be neat is a collection of the top SQL queries that have helped solve a problem or generate a super useful report. Maybe this could start off as a forum discussion and turn into a blog or discussion category.
I can not claim this one so I am going to reference the creator and the link. This one was from Mitul Darji

SELECT DATEDIFF(d, T1.DownTime, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS DaysDown, Nodes.Caption, Nodes.IP_Address, T1.DownTime, Nodes.Site, Nodes.Location
FROM
(SELECT
Max(EventTime) AS DownTime, NetObjectID, NetworkNode
FROM Events
WHERE
(EventType = 1) AND (NetObjectType ='N')
GROUP BY NetObjectID, NetworkNode
) AS T1 INNER JOIN Nodes ON T1.NetworkNode = Nodes.NodeID
WHERE
(Nodes.Status = '2' OR Nodes.Status = '0')
ORDER BY DaysDown DESC, Nodes.Caption ASC, T1.DownTime DESC
*****Note****
You may need to remove Nodes.Site because that is a custom property.

I used it to help me find some nodes that had been 'down' for quite some time and the OSOwner had neglected to update us on.
