Not sure I ever said "soon", but in case I did and someone quotes me, then I will note that "soon" is a very flexible word. When I say that Basic Alerts will go away, I do not mean in 2008. I wouldn't even be sure that it'll happen in 2009. 

I presume that the evaluation of the logical operators is left to right, with AND taking precedence over OR and both taking precedence over negation? With no grouping operators, the short circuiting rules apply ( any part of an AND that is false forces the whole expression/condition to be false? Hopefully some other people…

Yeah, I can only get to SAM setting in prod. I see it in test but we only have 1 polling engine there, but here is what we have for test.

Thank you very much!!

Hi, I've just added 3 SQL servers to APM using the SQL Server Query template and I'm getting one or two components per server constantly going to unknown back with this error. I'm just looking at the Component Services but I can't see the COM+ Applications / Solarwinds option which I'm guessing might have changed as this…

I'm trying to create an advance alert using the "arrayDiskState" parameter, which I recently added to Universal Device Poller since this is not being monitored by default, but i'm having difficulty on finding that parameter to simple/complex condition. Is it possible to create an advance alert using the said parameter? And…

There you go. I really appreciate this kind of information so thanks again. I will execute your recommendations and will get back to this post for the updates on my side.

I tried that and I have run my report again to show my configured alerts, you can see my new "Node is rebooting" alert and the problematic "Node rebooted" below alert is still set to false even though i've turned it back on... Interestingly i've tried rebooting a node and i've had no response from my new "Node is…

When I visualise the office where you guys all sit around sorting the feature requests from customers I always envisage little post it notes with for example User Experience Monitor: Radius floating around there somewhere and a big board with it placed in what you guys decide as priority - and never come off unless it is…

I must be dim, the only LDAP monitor I have is the LDAP Connection Monitor. Yeah, Roger is right, you have to create a template. We try to create a template for every component monitor to make sure they're discovered, but we missed this one. Sorry about that.

Solarwinds Support is pathatic. I have tried many times but no clear solution is there. Why NTA 3.5 and now 3.7 is requiring NTA 3.1?. If it is mendatory requirement, Why NTA 3.1 is not included in 3.5 and now in 3.7 installation packages?. Why there is not any clear solution from solarwinds on all thwack website?. I am…

 The timeout on the website is a function of the breadth of that report. You're querying so much of the database that it just takes a very long time, longer than the web will tolerate. So, from our point of view, to scale that particular report to really large networks will require a different mechanism, which is what…

 We're still on target for Q2. More than that, I cannot say.

Got it. Thanks for your help

Awww shucks! I’m not finding anything in that log that matches the exception I got. I ran it again so I could match up the times and .. nothing. The last exception/error I see is from 10 minutes ago. Do I need to do something to get the buffer to flush to the log or something? (I even checked the other server instance just…

 Tigershark, We will fix this in a Service Pack very soon. We're testing that fix with customers. When that is posted, please re-download Orion and install on top of what you have...you'll get the SP that way. dcl

Figured as much be there inlies my headache with trying to get our team to agree not to enforce from top down which this auditing policy would hit the workstations as well.

I am not sure if I disabled this globally, but I think I did as all our users have no line numbers. I don't see why your admin couldn't make it the default for all users. Also, it's been a while since I did this so I am not sure what I did.

mid-year 

i would near guarantee that SW are planning to retire the CPE and roll it into the website... i would say that when this happens, it will be the end of the product line and it will be time to move on LOL

Wow, its been pretty much 2 years since i posted that orion will not monitor the CPU load of hyper-v hosts, and yet it still doesnt!

Microsoft doesn't publish hyper-v data as SNMP. They publish it via WMI. You would need APM to collect this data. It's not done with an OID.

I just added my domain account as admin in the LEM appliance and tried to run the reports, but still nothing. I don't really now where to find a solution for this issue . I don't think that it has to do with the password, because i changed the password a few times. Maybe you can take a look at my SWLEMReports log if there…

 8.5 is due this quarter.

I get this error

OK, I misinterpreted the notation in the release notes. I took "disabled by default" to mean that it was disabled, but still available for use if the need arises; not that it was completely unusable. It is disabled by default. It *is* available for use if need arises. Simply re-enable and start the service. 

Will WMI pollers for monitoring MS Exchange and Active Directory be included in Ver 9 ??? Nope. Those are available today via Application Performance Monitor. We will be adding even more functionality in that regard, but it will be in APM, not in NPM.

Hi...took sometime as I was working on few other things as well. I got this script (using powershell) this far...idea was to get the output in count - while running the script once a day in a scheduled task (when a software is installed from that registry location) in a text file entry using powershell script...I am…

Ah, ok. Good to know!

Imioperations: We are also looking at ELK (ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana).
