Before you embark on the migration, a couple of things worth checking - I always check real-time access scanning software like McAfee or Symantec endpoint protection. Make sure there are exclusions for the solarwinds folders - SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: What files and directories should I exclude from antivirus…

chrisfoot A very interesting approach! If the test works, then the ongoing monitoring *should* work as well. You may want to follow the instructions in the KB below to replace the sdf files, and skip the repair instructions SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Collector Data Processor and Collector Polling Controller start and…

Access the Orion Diagnostics utility via Start > All Programs, and click on 'Active Diagnostics'. Does it throw any red dots?

wrong forum. please move your discussion to Server & Application Monitor forum

Profiler is compatible with Windows 2008 Server Standard x64. It sounds a port conflict with another application. Can you open a technical support case here at http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket , use "Profiler" as the customer name if are not an existing SolarWinds customer and post the ticket number back to this…

I am assuming you are referring to Advanced Alert Manager, not Basic Alert Manager Try ${Node.IP_Address} instead of ${IP_Address} You can select these from the editor, btw

If the nodes are part of an ip range in an existing scheduled discovery, the ones marked Never will not be included as NCM nodes upon importing the discovery results.

This should do it. This one looks for Outbps > 100000. You will need to adjust the threshold criteria accordingly.

jashannon‌ You can use SAM's HTTP / HTTPS User Experience Monitor See the last video in this playlist to learn how to build custom templates Server & Application Monitor (SAM) Training - YouTube

Not sure why you are seeing the 'restoring screen' every time but the out of the box integration between SAM and Virtualization Manager allows you to use the native Orion resources to build a datastore latency view http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/VIM/VManStorageSummary.aspx?view=VMan%20Storage%20Summary You need to…

There is a SAM component type specifically for monitoring windows service vis snmp

2 Separate VMs on the same esxi box is not a problem. Just make sure the. NPM vm and the SQL vm aren't competing for the same disk io

See if this will help achieve your objective (Tool is the old terminology for Connector) http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/2762

no

An ignore list for interfaces would certainly be handy. If the interfaces are down, the network discovery shouldn't be selecting them by default during the import process, although they do show up in the scheduled discovery results. Since you are monitoring 55k elements, you would be at the SLX license tier. One thing you…

Wait Time is the cumulative wait time for the time period (in your case 4AM to 5AM) for the SQL hash Total wait time is the cumulative wait time for the same time period for all the SQL queries % of Total Wait Time is the percent of these two numbers, i.e., how big of an offender is the SQL query you are looking at.

You mean the default SMTP settings in the Settings - Reports and Alerts - Manage SMTP Servers are correct, and you want all alerts to use this SMTP server now? If you running SAM v6.1 or prior, you will need to launch the Advanced Alert Manager utility on the SAM server, edit each alert that you have enabled and edit the…

First of, it is best to capture this activity on the user machine itself since the domain controller will only log the authenticated access but not the logout. Next, Create a Event Group from BUILD > Groups for the UserLogon and UserLogoff events. Go to nDepth, select the Event Group from the options on the left, choose…

Use the Unmanage scheduler utility on the NPM server, and set a scheduled unmanage task for this node

While creating the custom report, the Data Source you will need to choose is 'Component' instead of 'Application'.

hi Richard, It is a pretty generic message and the underlying cause could be different. I suggest you launch the Orion Diagnostics program and click on 'Active Diagnostics' and investigate any red circles that show up. Also, there is a PermissionsChecker.exe tool directly under the installation folder. Run that and click…

This will most likely require using an SQL macro in the trigger action. What types of objects are going in as group members? Just nodes? As the others have suggested, The default 'Alert me when a group goes down' and 'Alert me when a group goes into a warning or critical status' will suffice here. If you have all members…

It's most likely because the WPM playback results are not held in a queue by the polling engine unlike the node data.

Do you want this for a specific user(s) or any user?

Are you using a domain login to connect to vCenter?
