Hi, Iain. Yeah, that query is wrong because it doesn't specify the instance. Some counters require you to pick an instance, and that's one of them. I suspect you want to get the average disk reads of all physical disks, so you'd want a query like this: SELECT DiskReadsPerSec FROM…

It should give you 30 days, as this is the first time you've evaluated APM 3.0 on this server. As to why the installer happily accepted an incorrect license type, well, I wish it hadn't. I'll open a bug for this too. Though, I am glad you were able to get running again without having to wait over the weekend.

Hi, Donald. You want to copy some assigned component monitors to an existing application monitor template? 1. APM Settings > Manage Assigned Application Monitors > Manage Assigned Components 2. Find and select the components you want to copy. 3. Click Copy To and then select Copy To Application Monitor Template.

I haven't tried this, but I think you would need to modify the script to make it look something like this: Dim str_find, str_url, lst_args, str_user, str_pwd, bool_debug, arg_count, str_filename, str_email str_url="">www.google.com/.../ServiceLogin str_find = "myusername" str_user = "myusername" str_pwd = "mypassword"…

Notepad is fine, yes. To save your changes, press CTRL+S.

You're correct, TGhosh. You can make a view made up only from components/applications that fit certain criteria. Customizing APM Application Summary Views Customizing APM Application Summary Views Filtering APM Application Summary Views lets you create custom summary views that limit the displayed information to…

1-2. The drop-down items are populated with current values from the database. So if none of your devices are in warning, "warning" won't appear as a selectable item. 3. If the database is case-sensitive, it might be. I have to defer to Dev on that. 4. Because.. I don't have an answer for that either. I completely agree…

Dwil49, I will pass that feedback along. Thank you!

This may be something best to ask in the Microsoft Exchange Server support forum. If someone will know what trackable/traceable events are generated when Exchange decides to failover, it'll be someone there (because if you knew what signs to look for, you could figure out a way to make APM alert on it).…

With Orion APM, yes. Orion APM lets you query all sorts of servers to get back performance measurements. LDAP queries, WMI queries, SQL queries, and so on.

There's a built-in HTTP Form Login component monitor in APM 2.5 that does this. In 2.0 it was a script called HttpLogin.vbs that you had to cut and paste into a Windows Script component monitor, but we made it a full-fledged component now. Here's the documentation for the HTTP Form Login Monitor for APM 2.5: HTTP Form…

etera, the current method for adding your own graphics files as icons is documented here: Adding Custom Icons from Graphics Files You can also cut and paste graphics from the Windows clipboard, and the current method for doing that is documented here: Pasting Custom Icons from the Windows Clipboard

Andy's installation instructions are only part of your answer. After installing the new poller, you're going to want to assign nodes to it. There's an entire chapter of the AG called "Managing Orion NPM Polling Engines" and the section that explains how to reassign nodes to the new poller is called Using the Polling Engine…

Ugh. Sorry about that, Bryan. I will get the example fixed on the web site help.

Hi, Naghmeh. So this means I need to apply one of the application monitors to the node in order to be able to communicate with it, right? No, this is unrelated to Orion APM or to customer pollers. It seems that your Orion NPM server cannot even get basic information from your two Windows 2003 nodes. Do you have any nodes…

Larry, I added these topics to the online documentation and they will likely work their way into the installed help in a future release. On a personal note, you have much thanks from me for your helpful thwack contributions regarding Network Atlas. Adding Custom Icon Graphics from Files Pasting Custom Icons from the…

Yes, but I think Donald's point is that you have to know you have to export the encryption key from the original Orion APM server, and I think that's a valid criticism. The KB article addressing this is here: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1118 Donald, I will make sure this is properly addressed…

Yup! Are you looking for them because you want to back them up? The Export Map command can put them into files for you. Administrator Guide : Creating a Basic Map : Saving Maps Saving Maps Orion Network Atlas saves your maps directly to the server to which you are connected. To save a map: 1. Click the Orion Network Atlas…

The Performance Counter Conversion Utility is in the Additional Components section of your customer portal. You can find a direct link to it in the New Features section of the Release Notes. The utility finds WMI Monitor components in each template and attempts to decipher the WQL query. If successful, it creates the…

That's the bug. The Devices tab in ipMonitor 9.x replaced the old Monitor List functions from the previous versions. To navigate your monitors: * Expand the Default SmartGroups group to reveal the pre-defined smartgroups. * Click the smartgroup that represents the monitors you want to list.

This resource seems to have a small bug that displays 90%+ as red bars all the time. I'll report it as a bug. I discovered that someone reported this issue before, and the developers are already aware of it.

Here's the microsoft article that put me on the right track when I was wondering the same thing you were. More Windows 2000 WMI counter example scripts are in here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974615.aspx

The HTML Form Login Monitor only works for web sites that use HTML forms for the login procedure. If the login page uses some other mechanism such as javascript code for logging in, you have to write a custom Windows script to monitor that. Is that the case with your login page, Eric?

In addition to this, all software carries the risk of containing unknown vulnerabilities. Therefore, installing other software on your domain controller is considered a bad practice as it increases your exposure to possible vulnerabilities. The security of all your computers in your domain depends on the security of your…

The Orion SDK is the wrong path for this. What might help is the Perl script for monitoring the Apache server status page that we used to ship back before we compiled it into its own monitor. It would pick out certain values from the web page and return them to APM as a statistic. You can find this old Linux script…

Ashley, here is documentation explaining how to configure the Orion APM Windows Event Log Counter template. Orion APM Admin Guide: Windows Event Log Count If this is not what you were looking for, can you give more specific details about the problem you'd like help solving?

Link to the post of a fellow APM user who says he uses the command line field to separate the w3pw.exe processes by their application pool names:

R Lee, you are correct. Each component opens its own SSH session and uploads its script. You can, if you like, manually copy a script to /etc/script.pl or similar and change the command line appropriately. Orion APM will still open an SSH session for each component, but the data transfer will be lessened. All component…

Does this help at all? I know nothing about OCS, but I found this while looking for some information about OCS performance counters. http://communicationsserverteam.com/archive/2008/07/24/229.aspx

Hi, Questionario. You might be the first to share an Exchange 2007 CRR monitoring template with the community. I google searched for monitoring continuous replication and found what promises to be a helpful article from Microsoft regarding CRR-related monitoring…
