One of the processes on a number of remote branch VMs is leaking handles and that eventually causes the server to run out of memory. Restarting the service that owns (spawned) the process resolves the issue. There's already a performance counter that is tracking the handle count for that process in SolarWinds - I just…
A couple questions: 1. Does the action start or restart a service? If it only starts, is there a way to trigger a restart or would that be executed differently (ie vbscript) 2. I know ${ComponentID} can be passed in to restart the service, but what is the actual value being used? Is the service named being pulled from the…
Hi everybody I am very new Solarwinds and just today been trying to monitor a Windows Service and create an alert to restart it if stopped. It wont work. So I just got off the phone to a SoalrWinds technician who was very good at answering any questions I had, but we were both unable to get this to work. Enviroment:…
This script takes the service's short name as a second argument (first is the server) and stops all of the dependencies of the dependencies of the service, the dependencies and the service itself and then starts them up again. If you use this in an alarm on your Orion server you need to run the Solarwinds Alerting Engine…
Hello all, I am attempting to restart a service on a remote server using the out of the box 'Restart a service' advanced alert.

The group was set only when all individual components were triggered.. My delema is this.. I have a group level alert that say yes we are active.. it…
Can the Orion APM be configured to restart a windows service if it see's the service go down?
I have been trying to follow the syntax specified on how to restart a service useing APM. Has anyone used this scripti before? I cannot locate the executable on the srv to try it. This is a snippet from the help file…
Alrighty then, I've been working on this problem for two days now. Yesterday, when I came into the office, 16 of my nodes had interfaces in an "Unknown State". I've complained on Thwack about this issue before, though I have a feeling it's more related to my systems and the Dell SNMP agent rather than Solarwinds. Needless…
I'm running Orion 9.5 and I've been asked to restart a service when it's detected stopped in APM. Sounded pretty straight forward to me. So I created an Advanced APM alert for that APM template when it's down. In the Trigger Actions section I have created an "Execute External Program" alert that runs the following command.…
