Hello everyone! I have recently used SAM solution in order to monitor specific applications that is already monitored through Nagios I went through many ways to migrate the Nagios scripts' exit codes with Solarwinds but with no luck. Iam currently stuck at creating SAM Application monitoring Template. tried to execute some…
Overview Since I enjoy scripting, I figured that I'd gather all of my thoughts around what is required when creating a custom script component and place it here. Hopefully it'll help as you build your own. There are two main things that the SAM script component monitor is looking for: 1. The Exit Code. Ok, I'll be honest.…
I have a question about nodes that go down. We have recently migrated from Nagios to SolarWinds and are in the stage when both products are coexisting. When a node goes offline (reboots, crashes, etc.) it seems Nagios picks it up extremely quickly, while SolarWinds seems to take much longer, and most of the time if the…
Our company has been using Nagios XI for a long time and we're slowly working to move over to SolarWinds now that we have purchased it. The networking team is happy because of the additional checks that they can configure, but SAM seems more complicated for us server folks. Does any documentation exist that is aimed at…
I have been asked to build with native SAM capabilities all the alerts Nagios currently runs for a few dozen servers. Has anyone else successfully pulled this off? We are apparently getting rid of Nagios entirely, so I'm told the Nagios Script Monitor is not an option. There seems to be a wide array of things Nagios is…
We have a lot of Nagios checks using NRPE currently, and we're looking to move over to using SAM. Is there a good process for how to convert NRPE checks to SAM monitors?
While Nagios is open source and "free," it has hidden time and effort sinks that can really add up. ChristineB has a blog that outlines Five Reasons Free Costs Too Much. Here's a the big five: * Time consuming * Poor scalability * Diffuculty adding apps * DIY attitude * High switching costs Read more about these money…
I want to try and replace a groundwork (nagios) solution with solarwinds. I need to monitor external customers that have a single tunnel into our network each. 1) All access right now is designed through a single linux server per customer. Direct routing to the devices on the customer side is not possible. 2) Each customer…
Is there a way to import Nagios Hosts and Services into SAM? Or worst case, how would I compare the configurations on both systems in an automated fashion (without literally looking at every single Service within Nagios)?
At SolarWinds, we have an expression about open source software… that is… it is free like a puppy, not free like a beer. When you stop and think about it, Nagios really has a lot in common with a puppy. While it costs you almost nothing at the outset, the ongoing relationship can be quite expensive. Nagios will chew up…
