SAM Service Started event

I am new to SolarWinds. I am seeing lots of SAM Service (ServerName) Started in the Application Events. This seems odd to me. What does this event mean and why does it show up so often? Is there a log that I can refer to or someplace where I can see details about this event?

Can you provide a screenshot by chance? I'm not seeing this behavior myself, but based on what you're describing it sound like you may have a custom monitored application named "SAM Service" that is going into some other state other than "up", then returning back to an "up" state.

no worries. It appears to have disappeared. not sure where or why it was showing up but will have to wait until it reappears again
