Hello Everyone,
I recently started using solar winds, so far i think this tool is awesome. But like with every tool, i have questions..
I've installed SAM 6.1.0 and have used the network sonar discovery to find my SQL cluster nodes and the named instance vips. I then chose the AppInsight for SQL resource to monitor the nodes and vips. I've let the machines poll for a while and have noticed the following.
Each of the nodes i've added end with SQN each of the instances end with SQD. I was expecting to only see information on the instances that are currently being hosted on the node in the picture below, but i see every instance on the cluster. Does anyone else see this in their implementation? Should i just ignore the greyed out instances? Is there a way to only show the active instances on the specific node?
On another note i also found that the AppInsight for SQL template does not monitor disk size for the SQL nodes. This is alright i ended up creating a custom template to monitor system, non system and mount point drives, that should work for all servers in my environment.
Thank you for your time.
