JB, That sounds like a feature request and I'll request it be considered. The graphics you see today in the Orion web console map resource are static bitmaps without animation.

While I'm out of ideas, I'm asking around if someone might know why that user name is giving APM trouble. To recap: Originally, you tried user@domain as the user name in the HTTP monitor credential. But, that didn't work even though it's the user name you use to log on to Sharepoint over a regular web browser. You then…

mstolle, Well, I'm stumped. You're configuring the alert correctly. I tested it myself. Using your exact alert with ${StatisticData} I correctly get alert entries in my event log that my testfile is 13298.45 hours old. So whatever the issue is, it's not with how you're configuring the alert. I'll drop a note to the support…

The example Windows script to monitor Disk Space Remaining on drive C:\ of a remote computer is here: Cpu Load/Free Memory/Disk Space etc through WMI? Instructions on how to insert this script into APM to create a Windows Script monitor is here:

No, but that doesn't mean I can't write one for you real quick. As an example, let's say I'm browsing in the Devices tab, and I see three monitors that have "ipMonitor" in the display name. I want to change the "ipMonitor" in the display names of those monitors to "Applesauce". 1. Click the checkboxes next to the monitors…

The step-by-step procedure on how to move a monitor to a different device is published in our Knowledge Base. How do I assign a monitor to a different device? http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=787

Hi, Miron. You're looking for the LDAP User Experience Component monitor. There isn't a template for it, so you'll have to create one on your own using that component monitor. LDAP User Experience Monitor This component monitor tests the capabilities of a LightWeight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, and measures…

In APM 3.1 you can use the Windows Event Log Monitor to count how many Event 3003s have been sent to the Application log in the past 60 minutes. Then, you can make the application go to warning if 1 or more are found, and to critical status if 25 or more are found. The Windows Event Log monitor looks backwards in time…

To run the HttpLogin.vbs script from the command line: * Open a command window (Start > Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER). * Type cd c:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\APM\SampleScriptMonitors\WindowsScripts * Type cscript //nologo HttpLogin.vbs To run the HttpLogin.vbs script in debugmode so that you can get some debug…

Have you installed the ipMonitor 9.0.1 update? This update addresses most of the 0x80070721 issues. http://support.solarwinds.com/

I see it now.... how does the filter work exactly? Do I use regular expressions to match the process? No, it's just a simple pattern matching. To monitor the java process you launched with -Dframework.name=MyFrameWork, you would type MyFrameWork into the Command Line Filter field. Is there any documentation out there for…

Thanks for calling that out, Gareth. I'm rewriting that section accordingly.

I'm not surprised at all that you're unable to run scripts on a domain controller, as I am fairly certain that kind of access is locked down very tightly. After all, the domain controller contains all the keys to your network security kingdom, and you would want to block up every possible venue of attack into it. I am sure…

This can't be corrected in APM 2.0 because Microsoft only gives us a "diskspace free" WMI performance counter, not a "diskspace used" counter. But, there is a workaround. The workaround is to use a Windows script that performs the same WQL query to obtain the diskspace free value, but to then subtract it from 100 to…

When I tried to add the NPM servers in EOC with the WEB login credentials they failed. I can ping, RDP, etc. to each NPM server from the new EOC no problems. Orion EOC communicates with your Orion NPM servers using tcp port 17777*, and so my first suspicion would be that someone has disabled 17777/tcp traffic across your…

Jason, this sounds like something you should let our tech support folks try to help you with.

Hmmm. I'm out of ideas. At this point, I would suggest opening a support ticket. It certainly sounds as if something, somewhere is broken.

Hi Quinne, two things: 1. Your URL is incorrect. It should be str_url="">172.16.3.250/default.asp" 2. Httplogin.vbs can log on to the Orion NPM page out of the box. You don't need to modify it. You've added patterns such as "User ID", which is the text that is displayed on the web page, but the strings we're matching…

That's on Orion APM v3.0? ${StatusOrErrorDescription} is an APM component macro. It's only available if your alert is monitoring APM components. "Type of Property to Monitor: APM Component" If this is an application-level alert, it won't be available (because we could have several components in the application). If you…

Can you guys with remote registry failures check whether you are running the BMC Software "PATROL" program? One of our devs wondered if it might be related to this: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/c3798ec7-87ab-4cc9-b08d-2b7c31209498

I converted all the old WMI templates from APM 2.5 with it. No monitors are replaced! It creates new, equivalent monitors in the same template as the originals. After you're sure the new ones are working, you can delete the old ones.

You're welcome of course, but don't thank me just yet! There might still be a certificate issue on the HTTPS website. Two such scenarios come to mind: 1. The URL of the HTTPS website might not reflect the actual address in its SSL certificate. Solution: Set 'Ignore CN Errors' in the HTTPS monitor. 2. The website's SSL…

Do you have any SSH-capable Linux/Unix servers on which you can run your Nagios script to query SSL certificate expiration dates?

What exactly is Component Type 9? Component type 9 is "Windows Service Monitor". See Orion APM Alerts for the entire table of component type values and names. And when using this with default Type 9, it appears to restart other services that were stopped (monitored by APM). Right, because that's how that alert is…

If none of those are the reason, here are two more possible reasons why you might not be able to add an Orion Server: 1. Is the SolarWinds Orion Information Service actually running on the Orion NPM 9 server? Please look at the Windows Services list to make sure that it is running. Start it if it is not. 2. Are your Orion…

You're quite welcome, Iain. I'll forward your suggestion to the UI folks. If anything else APM-related comes up during your SAN transition, ask away, we're here!

The template for it is named "MAPI Round Trip Email". As with the other Round Trip email templates, you will have to configure its component monitor with the correct details about your mail server environment.

There is one. We called it the MAPI User Experience component monitor. Here's the help page for it: http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAPMPHComponentTypesMapiUserExperience.htm

You would have to run a SQL query on your Orion database that would change the application name of the applications that inherited from your Template X. I'm not a SQL guru, but I'm hoping a dev or someone else out there looking for a break from their scheduled work might be able to assist in making a query for this. 

In short, it doesn't really matter what server is running Orion NCM, as long as you install the Orion NCM Integration component on one of your Orion NPM servers, and correctly configure it to point to the Orion NCM server.
