How often do you restart your LEM appliance?

gfsutherland

Just a random thought....

How many of you regularly restart your LEM appliance if at all? (Weekly,Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly... Never?)

Am wondering if you think it is worthwhile doing it on a regular basis.

Thanks

George

The LEM is a virtual. It runs on a host. We update the host.

Hi George,

You don't normally restart your appliance unless it hits some problem. If it comes to regular due to slowness or other problem, you might want to check on the resource you have been assigned to LEM. Cheers

I rebooted mine last week to test an Orion alert, but before that my uptime was over 100 days.

Thanks curtisi ... That's usually when I reboot... to test alerting...

My LEM is in a lab at Solarwinds, and we run it about as close to the wire as we can on resources (as you can imagine). I tell people we're always on the lip of the volcano, because the LEM usually has less than 100MB of memory free. If I was a customer and support saw that, they'd have a collective coronary and call me an idiot (and they'd be right). Because of the tight resource budget, I do have to bounce the Manager service every 5 to 10 days to keep the LEM happy. In a perfect world, I'd have more memory on my system, and never need to do that.

During upgrades.

Monthly. I do Host OS updates, and then reboot it all.

curtisi

You're doing monthly host OS updates on a LEM? How do you do that?

Resource constraints... never experienced that... hmmmm.....

curtisi

Oh! Okay, I get it. I was like..."Wait, there are OS updates for LEM out there once a month? Why did no one tell me?!"
