Off hand I can't think of any chart, other than the Multiple Object Chart Petr referenced above that is capable of representing availability for multiple applications. You may however have success creating something similar to what you're looking for using the Custom Charts in the new web based Report Writer included in…

SAM's WMI Monitor is designed to gather performance metrics and statistics via WMI. As such it supports only integer values. In order to gather string values like the one you propose, you would need to use either the Windows Script Monitor or PowerShell Script Monitor. I looked to see if Windows Add/Remove Programs list…

HA Standby

This is not possible at this time. There is also a similar feature request at the link below.

Trying to find the best solution for monitoring/trending our workstation hard drives and provide some indication on potential failures. Monitoring queued I/O may be a great way of monitoring disk performance, but it's really not a method of proactively determining the potential failure of a hard disk. For something like…

The credentials shown in the Applications tab of the Network Sonar Discovery Wizard can be changed under [Settings -> SAM Settings -> Credentials Library]

APM will be renamed in the next release currently in release candidate. The new name will be Server & Application Monitor (SAM). Licensing has not changed for the product. It's still licensed on the highest number of Component Monitors, Nodes, or Volumes. For example, an AL300 license provides you 300 Component Monitor,…

Are you logging into the Orion web console using a different account than "Admin"? By default, only "Admin" has access to the Service Control Manager. For other accounts you must specify the permission explicitly in that users account settings. 

This feature has been implemented in APM v4.2.

Not off hand, but we should have a better example posted soon. I have also included a link to another example template created by one of our community members. In the meantime I hope this helps. * IPPay

JaroslawLadyga, can you post a screenshot of the error you're seeing?

Are these pollers in an HA pair by any chance?

Alex Slv wrote: I believe that SAM on it's own does allow you to add Nodes and Volumes.You do not need to have additional SL license to monitor nodes (unless I am getting it wrong). As crippsb@hcdsb.org has suggested - it seems that for AL150 the number 150 stays for a total number of monitors. However, the following info…

That is correct. You cannot merge two instances together. What I would do is install SAM onto the NPM server or vise versa and slowly begin the migration process. The historical data will eventually age out of the old server while the new server will have been collecting for some period of time. The older server would…

The concept is sound, but it's all a matter of what you want to do with this information once it's been created. You could in theory run blat or something similar to email you resulting report, or export it to HTML or GIF/JPG/PNG and link to it in an iframe within the volume details view.

The easiest way to do this would be to edit the "Top XX Nodes by Average CPU Load" resource and add the filter "CPULoad > 80" as pictured below.

Happy to help. As for "known issue", it's been reported once before, so not well known. The only way you would have learned that this was a bug would have been to post here as you did, or open a case with support. Since it's only been reported once before it's very unlikely support is even aware this issue exists, which is…

The following Macros are available to script monitors. If the password macro is not working, I would recommend testing with a password that does not contain any special characters. It's possible the password contains a character that is preventing it from being handled properly. It also appears that you may be testing this…

Many of our users who have on-call rotation use PagerDuty. It's probably worth taking a look at.

You can feed alerts from Zabbix into Orion using things like Syslog and SNMP Traps, You can even incorporate parts of the Zabbix web interface into Orion using the Custom HTML resource, or add links to the Zabbix web console to the menu bar or via the User Links Resource.

Great! I would assume the CLI interface is similar to the UTM 570. Yes the CLI is identical to the 570, and all the UTM appliances for that matter including the Connectra appliance. The only exception are the UTM-Edge devices. These edge devices are the little SOHO appliances that are basically Linksys routers on crack.…

Correct. You should have no problem monitoring 7k NPM elements in addition to 7k SAM components with the same poller, provided the server is sized appropriately for an SLX/ALX. Server sizing recommendations are included in each respective products Administrators Guide.

Windows Performance Counters use RPC. So generally TCP Port 445 should be open between the SAM server and SQL server you want to monitor.

I would recommend disabling the Directory Size Monitor to see if that resolves your issue. The way WMI allows things like Directory Size, File Count, etc. is horribly inefficient and not limited solely to the path/files specified. Those filters are simply applied to the final results. This is the nature of Microsoft's…

Perform a MIB walk against the device using the SnmpWalk.exe utility located under 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\SnmpWalk.exe'. Open the MIB walk text file and search/find OID '1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.2'. Each row starting with '1.3.6.1.2.1.25.5.1.1.2' represents a process running on the machine. The integer column shows…

Are you able to test these components successfully from within the application editor? It sounds like the Job Engine or Collector is backed up and no new jobs are processing. Have you verified the Orion server is collecting information for other applications monitored by SAM? Look at the historical charts for applications…

I believe the following KB article may answer your question. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Does Orion need SA rights to the SQL database?

Without being able to test and play with the application it's going to be hard for someone in the community to develop a script monitor that would gather the information you're looking for. There are however a few companies like Loop1 Systems that provide such services.

I see this given as an answer fairly often. How is the default of 5 minutes not enough of a timeout period? If a component takes more than 5 minutes to complete polling then there's something wrong. This is because the timeout value is for all component monitors in the template, not for individual component monitors. In…
