if you are going to change it. I'd use a custom property as the recipient. then you can change the email on the node directly or update the custom property accordingly...

There are some excellent SolarWinds Consultants around, who will be able to help. If you want send me a messa. However I am located in Europe so travelling might be a bit over the top

I have seen on the content exchange, that you built your own custom device template. Is this working?

Hah. So I was right st first, according to the screenshot you are indeed using a SAM monitor and you are using the API within the PowerShell monitor...I am not yet sure if this is outstanding genius or bound to fail, I have to think about this.

Yes, you need agent based and SNMP based monitoring. SNMP needs to be enabled on the Linux machine (snmp-daemon) and you need the firewall ports opened. I am not sure, but by default SNMP is not enabled on Linux machines. On my Debian 8 test machine I had to enable it manually. You enable that on the Linux Machine itself,…

What is your polling completion value?

Could you please post a screenshot where you get stuck? And let me know what kind of event you like to monitor. cheers

Hi Shane, what do you man by "bounce the Information Services" ? Did you restart the IIS? Or Restart anything else? I am also facing this issue at a Customer and Solarwinds Dupport does not have any Idea how to handle this. Hope this Thread is still being read. Thanks, Holger

Now I understood what you were talking about. the second screenshot is also when you hover over the Link in the Map in Orion. Sorry that I didn’t catch this. So as an explanation, the hover over link shows the connected entities on the map. As you connected 2 switches, you see the switch as the entity. now that you changed…

When the server won't come back up, the regular status polling kicks in. After the polling interval and a few "working seconds" the node will get the status "down". This will then be covered by the default "node down" alert or any alert you have set up that will cover down nodes. Glad I could help.

2 minutes is the polling interval. So it is polling via CLI every 2 minutes, yes. For ACLs this is too much, yes, but what about VPN Tunnels? Don’t you want to know that your VPN is not working properly within that timeframe? Or other metrics that are polled via CLI rather than SNMP? So yes, if you set the polling interval…

It seems your device is “responding” that the default password needs to be changed. This is not detected as a valid prompt for NCM. What happens if you set a password and try again (don’t forget to change the passsword in NCM for the device as well)

Is the website loading as expected or do you see any other „sluggishness“? You mentioned after some time and reloading you get a response from SWIS? I suspect a general performance issue.

Custom Properties are the first thing I discuss with my customers. I usually end up with more than 20 CPs. I often use the API to fill those sometimes just Alerts to fill them

Hi, I tried to Pipe the SQL Query to the Export-CSV cmdlet but the CSV was always empty Or I could not access all Custom properties wit the SQL Query, so I came up with the StreamWriter. Thanks for the clarification I will try this as well. Kind Regards!

preach it pheonixnyte​! You have a fellow SDK-Geek here as well . haven't migrated views yet but I definitely need to look into that.

mesverrum thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t aware of that. Also thanks for the caveats. have to spin up a AWS in my lab and play with that. cheers!

when you have a "performance issues case", they will find that bone and say it is related to SQL server performance. To my knowledge it is a supported configuration as it is only stating "the same database". I never had any troubles with a support case.

Thanks for the clarification

you "should" be able to specify the order of the NICs in the OS-Settings, the "primary" nic should then be used as the polling nic...I think I ran into this issue once a while ago.

Have you tried turning it off and on again:-p

Oh, and yes you are right with your calculation. With SAM it is most of the time ALX (unlimited) currently I am doing a PoC for a Customer with 38 Servers, and we are just monitoring some basics.

AL300 is nowhere near the amount you would need. for 100 Servers you can monitor 3 Components per Server. CPU + RAM + 1 Disk. that's it

Please double check with your Microsoft provider. I am very positive (not 100% sure) but I guess when you are running vmware AND vmotion for everything you need to license the WHOLE underlying hardware! It is a different Story with HyperV. The reason the license cost would be astronomically high brings the customers to the…

Alright, so I will update my 6.4 RC to 6.4 GA and update the Agents to the latest release. It is with Windows Server 2008 R2 so your initial hint is pointing into the right direction I guess.

NCM should be able to connect to the share. What permissions are set on the SMB Share of the Linux box? do you have it joined to AD so you use Windows ACLs? it "should" work with any CIFS folder.

It was hard work, but this is our SAM status, and the AppInsight for SQL is correctly alerting high memory usage, because I did not properly limit the SQL Server...so this error is more to remind me to set up SQL correctly or give the SQL box more RAM. There are a total of 60 Templates deployed and it took me about 5 Days…

I have a similar issue when updating Nodes, creating has never been an issue. Just like you mentioned it was related to SNMPv3.

i needed to tweak some of the lines as a +" "+ to concatenate strings was somehow lost in Copy Paste....
