Would like to see VMAN collecting vCenter alarms as defined here Preconfigured vSphere Alarms as well as custom alarms and have the ability to alert on them in Orion
We have 2 vcenters at 2 different location being monitored by Solarwinds. We have various VMs in use at both sites. Site B is also the failover for the production environment so it has a bunch of placeholder VMs. The placeholder VMs get picked up by Solarwinds as "Down" machines which is not true. Whats the best way to…
We have been using VMware Polling servers for ESXi Versions 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 with no issues. Recently we tried to add a server with Version 6.7 but Orion keeps failing to login using root credentials. There's no FW, ACLs or port filtering in between, so I'd like to know if someone have experienced the same problem and…
I've worked on solving this many times in the past, including spending hours on the phone with SolarWinds Support and have never really gotten anywhere, but I figured I'd give it a try yet again... So I have a few questions that would help me understand this: * How does SolarWinds attempt to correlate a UCS blade to an…
Good afternoon all, We're in the process of transitioning things around using NPM and SAM, so the current step we're having is moving items from one console to another.

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? Installing the agent vs enabling SNMP? Differences or what do you get by…
Are IP requests for virtual machines overwhelming your current IP address management practices? You are not alone. In a June 2016 survey of IP Address Manager customers[1], 46% of respondents stated that virtual machines were creating challenges for managing IP addresses for their company. Independent author Brien Posey…
With all of the different monitoring software out there and alerts from other software such as VMware, Veeam, WhatsupGold etc.... Why not create a program that you can import or copy these settings into and have it translated into a Solarwinds alert. Either to act as a model or to export then import into Solarwinds?
Hello Community peeps! I am trying to setup monitoring of VMware datastores in Solar Winds Orion NPM but its grey'd out. Where in the console can I enable this?
I am curious how people are monitoring the new vcenter 6.5 with HA. I have found SAM templates that monitor the old windows servers but now its all a custom linux virtual appliance.
