Omar Rafik, SolarWinds Senior Manager, Federal Sales Engineering Here’s an interesting article by my colleague Mav Turner about the complexities of server and application management. Hyperconvergence makes the old question of, “is it the network or the application?” harder to answer; good thing we have tools to help.…
We previously had a report that ran against the SQL db that provided us a true up of machines that were showing up in the virtualization tab but were not being actively monitored by SAM or NPM. We've now moved to the Vcenter appliance and the report is no longer funcitioning as expected. With the database moving to the…
Hello, When adding VMs, what is the recommended method for polling? There are a few choices, but the most appropriate seem to be, ICMP, SNMP and ICMP, and Windows/linux servers and also should poll for vmware be checked since those are VMs in vCenter?

So we recently pulled in our VCenters and looking at the deluge of data that came with it, I stop to ponder the best way to manage the nodes in the VCenter. We get a wealth of data about CPU/Memory and latency, but each of these VM's have virtual disks and that is information I am not seeing. In your view, is it best to…
By Joe Kim, SolarWinds EVP, Engineering and Global CTO Can you afford for your team to lose eight hours a day? According to the 2016 State of Data Center Architecture and Monitoring and Management report by ActualTech Media in partnership with my company, SolarWinds, that’s precisely what is happening to today’s IT…
Managing federal IT networks has always been a monumental task. They have traditionally been massive, monolithic systems that require significant resources to maintain. One would think that this situation would have improved with the advent of virtualization, but the opposite has proved to be true. In many agencies, the…
