The Agent version referenced in that article is very current and still available for download from IBM's website. It may be that you were trying the Platform Agent rather than the Common Agent. From the Article IBM's Download Portal

The Unmanage Scheduling Utility has been included as part of the default APM installation since v4.0.1. On the Orion APM server it's located under [Start - Programs - SolarWinds Orion - Advanced Features]

SAM includes application availability reports out-of-the-box.

I would recommend starting with increasing the Polling Timeout from 3600 seconds to 4000. You can also try pointing the monitor at a page that may be more responsive by going to that the Site Details view, clicking "Edit Thresholds" and adjusting the URL for the HTTP and HTTPS Bindings Monitor.

The WIndows Script Monitor executes scripts locally on the SAM server only. They are not copied to a remote host.

It looks like your database file is located on a remote NAS or Windows File Server, but it isn't local to the SQL server itself. AppInsight for SQL has been designed to take volume space into account when calculating remaining space for databases configured to auto-grow. Since your volume is remote this isn't going to work…

I'm not able to reproduce that on my server running SAM 6.1.1. The values set are the ones saved. If you're not yet running SAM 6.1.1 I would recommend upgrading. If you're already on SAM 6.1.1 please open a case with support so we can look through your diagnostics and determine what's going on.

It appears you have some files locked that are preventing the installation of the .NET Framework. This is commonly caused by recently installing Windows updates without rebooting the server to apply them. As you can see in the Log File you posted the following error code is returned by the .NET Framework installer..…

It sounds like you would appreciate the multi-value script support included in APM 4.2. This could simplify your life a little and provide you the level of organization you are looking for. Release Candidate signup and information see our previous post below: For a more detailed description of multi-value script monitors…

When a failover occurs with the cluster, Windows logs these events to the Windows Event Log, which in turn are monitored within the template(s) referenced above.

I think the problem is with you returning statistic twice in your output and SAM is getting confused. Can you change the output to match the following and ensure you're exiting with the appropriate error level? B Message: SQLException not found Statistic: 0 Based on the script above it appears you are simply exiting, but…

One other item worthy of noting. Thresholds for Databases in AppInsight applications can be defined globally for all databases running on the instance, or at the individual database level. When editing the assigned AppInsight application you will find these global settings depicted with database icons and no status…

That is correct. You will use local execution mode with the agent.

Yes, the agent included in SAM 6.2 would be installed on the remote host you intend to monitor. As for impersonation within your vbscript there are a variety of ways, one of which is using Windows built-in Runas. If given the option however I would recommend going the agent route as it will be easier to troubleshoot since…

The Windows Event Log Forwarder is actually free, so we're not trying to sell you another anything. The Windows Event Log Forwarder will allow you to send the complete text of the Windows Event Log message as an alert variable you can use in Email notifications etc. The Windows Event Log Monitor in APM does not currently…

I think the issue you'll face creating Universal Device Pollers for this purpose is that the Cisco "clear counters" command does not reset the SNMP counters, just the counters you see via the CLI. The only way to clear the SNMP counters on a Cisco switch that I'm aware of, is to reboot the switch. Even if that wasn't the…

Did you specify any command line arguments as part of the SNMP process monitor?

Have you checked out the following KB article? AppInsight for IIS is Unknown - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

I would recommend adding the Exchange servers in the DAG as WMI Managed Nodes rather than SNMP.

Do those HP servers have Insight Manager installed and Asset Inventory enabled?

While you're waiting for to look over the report, you may want to try creating a new, local Orion user account with full permissions and try logging in as that user and running the report. However unlikely, I'm trying to rule out account limitations or anything permissions related.

The statistic returned could be the time taken to complete the transfer, or how long it took the script to run. Maybe even how large the file is. The choice is up to you. The script exit code is was determines if the script completed successfully or not, so you'll need to ensure you map the failure/success of your script…

I tried to reproduce your netobject error in the lab without any success. Are you continuing to see this error even after upgrading to RC2?

Not at this time. There is no standard method across all these vendors to retrieve this information. That doesn't mean it can't be accomplished, but it does make things more difficult.

Provided the file contains text you are looking for the Log Parser (Perl) template would be the recommended solution. This template includes instructions on how to configure in the template description, as well as outlines all prerequisites.

Yes, you would utilize the Gold Master Image option for the Agent deployment. This installs the agent but does not provision it with a GUID or register it with an Orion instance until the server is rebooted. This can be further postponed by disabling the Agent Windows service until such time as you're ready to snapshot the…

You will probably also find the following KB article helpful. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to create a non-administrator user for APM polling.

You can use the account limitations to restrict what users have access to view in the Virtualization tab, though inheritance of the tree structure to access the guests will still be visible, but users will not be able to click on any objects in the tree they don't have access for to view more details. Also, any…

If our SSL Certificate Expiration monitor is not working for your Apache server then please open a case with support so we can collect diagnostics and get to the root cause of the issue. It should work with any web server that uses the HTTPS protocol.
