The relationship IT professionals have with upgrades can sometimes only be described as “fraught.” Reasons range from the cost in terms of time and lost opportunity to “nothing in that update seems very exciting.” Of course, the benefit often exceeds the effort needed. In this episode, Head Geeks Chrystal Taylor and Leon…
Hi, We have paid for an additional Polling engine...great news my main polling engine gets into his running clothes to get ready for all that room to breathe and start going 100 miles an hour. But wait sorry mate you are going to have to wait for the technicain to work out which nodes need to go where so he can balance the…
We recently had an incident where we lost a link to an additional polling engine. We noticed all the nodes being monitored by the additional polling engine remained in their existing state. I opened a ticket with SolarWinds to find out if this is normal behavior which they confirmed it is. I believe if an additional…
Hello, I've been deploying and maintaining SolarWinds for the past 9 years and have never had the need to use an Additional Web Server (AWS) in any of my environments. Right now I'm doing an initial deployment for a new company that will have about 50 concurrent users, and I'm wondering if I should look into purchasing the…
I'm new to SolarWinds. I just did a new install of SAM on a Windows 2016 server. I elected to install to the E drive instead of the C. Everything went fine without error and I can log into Orion without issue. We anticipated needing an additional ape because of the amount of monitors we need. So I setup another server in…
Some of my APE's are several hundred miles away from my main Instance of NPM, with WAN bandwidth limitations that prevent them from completing the download of packages from the Main Instance of NPM in a timely manner. When this happens, and it happens every time I patch/update these APE's, this message is displayed If I…
I have the following products installed across a Main Engine, an Additional Poller and an Additional Web Server: NPM, SAM, NTA, NCM, IPAM, VNQM When I had just the main Engine upgrades/updates were not so bad, but now that I have 3 servers to update and the process is very painful: * install product on main engine (20…
We ran into timeout issues upgrading our remote additional polling engines with the latest upgrade. We love the features of the new scalability installer but need to be able to increase the time allowed for the bits to copy over the wire. This issue just gets worse as additional Hot-fixes are applied to the main polling…
I am in the middle of a new installation of NPM 12.1, NCM 7.6, IPAM 4.3.2 with the primary server and one additional poller in the US and two additional pollers in the UK. I am trying to install the High Availability option for the UK additional pollers using the Solarwinds-Orion-Installer.exe and tolarWinds Orion…
I'd like to see the Head Geeks go over how Stacked APE's work, and what to take into account when deploying APE's in this way, rather than putting them on fresh metal (virtual or otherwise). Great lab today, thanks guys!
