That would depend on your comfort level with Oracle. If you have an Oracle DBA they may willing to create a view for you. If you're more comfortable using PowerShell, that is certainly another perfectly valid avenue.

Groups were designed primarily to improve decadency mapping and provide root cause analysis. While I agree that the ability to assign application templates to groups either manually or automatically/dynamically would simplify overhead, it has the potential to cause havoc and chaos with credentials unless all nodes used the…

Have you tried using the SNMP template instead? Cisco IronPort (SNMP)

You might want to read over the following Microsoft blog which discusses these counters and their meanings. Essentially resource failures should not be occurring with any degree of regularity.

I'm not sure where you got "Monitor.Status" from but below is a list of SWQL filters that can be used with APM/SAM Component Monitor Resources.…

Correct. The ESX hosts must be polled via the same method for both SAM and Virtualization Manager integration. If you're polling through the vCenter with Virtualization Manager then SAM also needs to be polling the ESX host through the vCenter.

If the task was done through the Orion web console this information should be logged, provided you're running SAM 6.1.x or later.

Advanced Alerts are stored in the database as SQL queries in the "TriggerQuery" column of the dbo.AlertDefinitions table, which makes this a particularly difficult and likely manual process to correlate.

wluther​, the recommended best practice is to create new virtual directory in IIS under the 'SolarWinds NetPerfMon' website. Then add any custom ASPX or HTML code you wish to use there. The Configuration Wizard will not touch the contents of that Virtual Directory, nor will it remove it from the IIS Site. Then within the…

This definitely could be requested as a feature. There is however no simple way of implementing this change today outside of editing the files in inetpub\solarwinds directory. These changes would be however be overwritten when you upgrade or re-run the Configuration Wizard. They would also not be supported in any…

To my knowledge no changes were made to SMTP in the Advanced Alert Manager for the SAM 6.0 or NPM 10.6 release. You may want to take a look at the PostCast logs to see if the connection is being refused. Also, if you're using SMTP encryption you may want to try disabling that since the SMTP traffic is local to the Orion…

You can extend Account limitations from supporting 3 limitations per Account, to supporting up to 6 per Account. Within the Accounts table in the Orion SQL Database, there are three fields named LimitationID1, LimitationID2, and LimitationID3. Using SQL Enterprise Manager add new fields called LimitationID4, LimitationID5,…

How many times a reoccurring alert has been triggered before being acknowledged is not stored anywhere. As such there is no variable macro for this. You could in theory create a SQL query based upon when the alert initially triggered and the reoccurring alert interval with ties into the alert acknowledgement. For instance…

Resource hight is dynamic based upon the content shown within the widget. You cannot override the high of the resource, only the width. You can however add padding to a column between resources using the "Tall Blank Space" and "Short Blank Space" resources.

Currently the DNS User Experience Monitor does not support TXT records. If this is important you can add this in the SAM Feature Request forum of Thwack. I would be curious to know what your use case is for monitoring TXT records in DNS.

The Agent can be optionally used for QoE data collection, yes. The more common use however is for monitoring servers in SAM.

WMI issues can usually be lumped into three categories * Insufficient privileges (Use local or domain administrator accounts to alleviate this issue) * Firewall Policy, Proxy, or Router Access Control Lists prevent communication between APM and the remote server. This can be remedied by allowing TCP Port 135 and all ports…

I have a couple of 6500 series switches with SUP720 modules exporting netflow for roughly 100 gigabit interfaces and this puts a strain of about 2% on the processor (show proc cpu). There's so much horse power in the 6500 switches, you'd be hard pressed to stress it. You're much more likely to kill your netflow receiver…

That would be beyond the current capabilities of NCM today, which is limited to backing up configurations via SSH or SNMP. I would recommend posting a feature request listing the makes/models of the devices you are wanting to backup using NCM.

for the win! That's certainly the simplest and most elegant solution by far. Great suggestion Petr!

It looks as though you are adding resources to a report. Instead I would recommend using the Custom Table for building your reports. You will find this to be far more flexible and allow you to accomplish what you're trying to achieve. The Custom Table is what is used in the report I showed above. It allows you to customize…

For anyone following this thread, this is being tracked internally as FB89003.

Understood. We're already tracking this internally as FB100264. 

The difference you are seeing is likely the result of averaging the availability of all group members. If you have 2 group members one of which is down and the other is up, then the group availability would be 50%.

I guess I'm not following. It's not possible to define an alert condition based upon previous state, but from what you describe there would only be two potential states the component could be in; "Not Running" and "up". Since there are no other states the components could possibly return, if it's not "Not Running" then…

You would need to create a symbolic link which points to the directory drive/path you wish to store those logs.

The credential being requested here is the same username/password used to manage Tomcat, not your Windows credentials.
