For a month now we’ve had major issues with or Solarwinds
product. That has crippled our monitoring environment. We can no longer rely on
Solarwinds to alert us when there’s an issue in our environment as the product
crashes with an unrecoverable database error. The error as it turns out is
inside your product functioning as an SQL call that we cannot prevent. It’s a
maintenance routine that runs seemingly randomly in the middle of the night.
When this happens all of our Solarwinds becomes unusable until rebooting the
server. This includes Alerting, IP Management, DNS, UDT and NPM.
I’ve worked with several technicians and now a developer and
no one has solved this issue or taken it as seriously as we have. There’s a lot
of well you should try this maybe and we’ll look at diagnostics. Or maybe let
us know in a few days if you can delete some critical function you use in
Solarwinds to test if this might help. What now? I think you all fail to
realize the importance we placed on your product to monitor our environment.
We’re not a 9-5 pm shop with no care as to what happens at midnight when this
product stops working completely. We have lots of people that rely on this
monitoring to be in place 24 hours a day. Our fire departments and police
departments do no shut down at 5 pm. We are in habit of providing excellent
service to our customers at midnight just as we are during the day.
This isn’t some feature we want, or just some general
question or issue that there’s a work around. Solarwinds stops working randomly
at night and during the day without warning and in its entirety. Not one piece
of our Orion platform works when this happens. Alerting stops, NPN displays
nothing, etc. etc.
