SolarWinds Module Interaction: WPM / SAM with AppMon

feltonlewis

Hello -

I'm still relatively new to SW so I've been doing learning by fire  

I have a SW server with some custom App Monitors configured. 

The server has SAM and WPM installed right now but we are looking at removing WPM.

My question is, is there a way for me to tell if a customized Application Monitor is specifically using WPM.  This is the question I need answered.

Also, generally, is there a way to tell what module (SAM, WPM, NCM, NTA, etc.) is being used on a server in alert, application monitors, etc.?  With all of the different modules, at times it's difficult to ascertain which module is being used for a specific purpose.

TIA.

Hi Felton, I recommend going to your SAM Setting page -> Manage Application Monitors and reviewing the components of your assigned application monitors. The ones you'd want to check are any custom scripts that are built that might be targeting the orion sdk or any SQL queries that might be referencing WPM transaction entities.
