Server & Application Monitor (SAM) Feature Requests

Way to ensure new resources are monitored
When our servers have resources, such as disk drives, added after the server has been added to Solarwinds it is common for those new resources to not be checked for monitoring. A perfect solution would be an automated scan of the resources for changes since last scan and then automatically check the changes while allowing…
Allow modification of agent automatic update setting
On the "Manage Agents" page, add the ability to enable/disable "Automatic Updates" from the "More Actions" menu. This would allow me to change the setting on several agents at once.
SAM Application Component Monitor: Add [Status when Process is Not Running] to all component Types
Currently this functionality is only available to the Process Monitor (set status to Down or Not Running). I personally am most interested in the Performance Counter type, because it allows for singular monitoring of a process instance, versus the "grouped" process monitoring of Process Monitor (all instances of a process…
Schedule Scan for Applications
I would like to be able to schedule "Scan Nodes for Applications" Ideally it would work much like scheduled Node Discovery where I can pick nodes - based on criteria that could be IP, AD or "nodes added in the past x days", and what applications to discover. If I am really getting picky, after the discovery, I'd like to…
Deprecate SNMP Enabler for Windows
Please consider marking the SNMP Enabler for Windows tool as deprecated on its download information page. CIM data obtained via WMI queries is much richer and more secure than SNMP, and Microsoft moved its focus on Windows away from SNMP years ago. The product page could feature a link to the Remote Execution Enabler for…
Hardware Health Monitoring for Cisco UCS C-series
Cisco does not offer an OS agent for monitoring hardware health. Instead, they recommend using SNMP to poll the CIMC (BMC) using CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-MIB. ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/ucs-mibs/CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-COMPUTE-MIB.my
AppInsight for Hyper-V 2012 R2
Hyper-V 2012 R2 has come with some great enhancements to allow for better clustered hosts and replicating VMs from one host to another. However the Monitoring ability of these function are lacking. We have basic information on the VM but nothing from the host perspective. I have setup a few Hyper-V replicas and having the…
Importing the Active Directory Computer Object Description attribute in the SAM Alert email
Please include the ability to get the Active Directory Description attribute so we can get more meaningful and standardized description of email alerting.
Possibility to activate the Asset Inventory View for all Nodes
Hello there, in my company, we have more than 2000 Server-Nodes (Not to Mention all of the Network-Nodes). In the phase of the initial configuration of solarwinds, we didn't activate the Asset Inventory-Tab for our Nodes. Now, after the initial configuration, we wanted to turn our attention to the other features of…
PerfStack Data Transforms
I would like to be able to add data-transforms to PerfStack. For example, if a storage system tells me both Total Free Space and Total Used Space, I want to add a data-transform graph that takes those two and calculates % Free Space.
