Many network and systems monitoring tools these days offer both client-based and agentless options to monitor managed clients, such as servers and workstations. The question in these cases is, "Which do I pick?" There are pros and cons to both options, and which one you pick has everything to do with how you weigh these…
Hi I try to check if a local user on a windows machine is disabled/locked or not. Therefore I use a WMI Monitor. My query returns a result that I check by the 'convert value' context. The query always returns '0' no matter if I check an disabled or a not disabled user. Here an example with a NOT logged/disabled user If I…
I am mainly a Unix System Admin that has now implemented NPM and SAM on AIX and Solaris nodes. My company also produces Windows software and I am now tasked with adding monitors for those servers. The only local nodes to the Orion server are the Orion server itself and the firewall. Everything else is on remote sites and…
I've run into an interesting situation and I'm looking for some input. I have a number of servers (about 11 out of 1100) where any WMI component monitor applied to them return the error "The WMI credentials are not valid. Unable to connect to "xxx.xx.xxx.xx" as "domain\username"." What makes this interesting to me is that…
Hello, I need to check if a process is running on a Windows server but I also need to ensure it's running as a specific user. Is this possible? WMI and SNMP are both options. I can use an existing component to check if the process is running but I can't see a way to check if it's running as a specific user? Thanks.

Sure, a lot of us have some Linux based apps, apps delivered via SaaS, and probably even some apps in the cloud where we're not 100% sure what they're running on; but chances are that you rely on Microsoft Exchange for…
Per SolarWinds Support, the WMI Monitor does not allow a statistical value and a message to be queried via WMI at the same time, instead entirely relying on scripting through Windows Script Monitor or PowerShell just to pull one text string. The SQL Server User Experience Monitor allows for two values to be queried and…
Anyone know how to build an alert that will correlate two or more windows counters/mounitors and create a email when the test is positive? Example: % CPU Utilization > 5 & Processor Queue Length > than 10 = CPU Degradation
Hi All, Have just started evaluating SAM 5.01. I have setup some monitors on MS 2 node failover cluster (windows 2008 r2), with SQL 2008 r2 installed. I can connect the virtual cluster interface and have configured the SQL 2005-2008 Perf (SQL) is working fine and all components are detected. The Windows 2008 Failover…
