What are some good ways to check the performance of SolarWinds. Currently we have 2 servers both have 2 duel core Opterons 2.8 and 4 GB of ram the Data base is on the SAN and is about 52 GB. Both servers average less than 30% CPU usage and about 3 GB free ram. Network Usage is 0-4 % on average. The issue is with alerts. When we test an alert it can take anywhere from 2 seconds to over an hour post the alert to the log file. In this wait no CPU spikes. We have seen this in the production environment also.
Any Ideas?
