You would not use synchronous loading option unless the web site/application/page you were attempting to add to Orion did not support or function properly when loaded asynchronously.

When you completed the process the first time you likely created a new template and were asked which node you wanted this new template assigned. When you walked through the process a second time you chose to add the component to an existing template, which then updates the template to add nodes the template is already…

Yes, you can install an Additional Web Server in a different domain than the Primary Orion Server, provided you aren't using Active Directory authentication to authenticate users to the Orion web console.

The best way to determine if breaking out the Web Server from the Polling Engine would be to try it out yourself. You can contact Sales for an evaluation license key. The will provide you with a download link and temporary license key. You should be able to get it up and running in under 20 minutes. If you decide not to…

One issue with the Exchange PowerShell cmdlets that drove us to using remote execution mode was that no two components monitors could use the same cmdlet simultaneously. You may be running into the same blocking issue in your own template. Also, ensure you have enabled impersonation on the PowerShell component monitor so…

If the real (non-NAT'd IP address is not listed you can manually type it into the field instead. It will have the same effect as using the "Select IP Address". Submit your changes and all should (hopefully) be right with the world again.

I'm not following your Jordan Hume. What exactly do you mean for "other resources"? Today the Multi Chart resource can be added to a view, such as the "Application Details" view to display multiple metrics for custom applications. Is that what you mean?

Yes. By default the maximum number of worker processes in the Application Pool is zero, which means as many worker processes will be started as there are NUMA nodes.

The same settings used in an explicit proxy configuration should work in SAM's HTTP/HTTPS component monitors. I recommend going to [Settings > All Settings > Proxy Settings] and testing your proxy configuration there.

If the passive node is not being monitored than you will have no visibility into its health or availability. A "DAG" is an entity of multiple servers and as such there is no central authority. Rather it's the culmination of all information collected from each member of the DAG. E.G. if you have a standby server it's…

Database schema changes are not documented between releases as the schema is not published. It is recommended that the database be queried via the SolarWinds Information Service API (SWIS) using the SolarWinds Query Language (SWQL) via the Orion SDK. Any changes, modifications, additions, as well as depreciations are…

I don't think anyone could definitively tell you without exhaustively examining the log files from those agents and the Orion server itself to determine that the issues we addressed in the 1.7 version of the Agent are the ones you are experiencing. I will however state that the symptoms you describe are indeed identical.

This counter is automatically disabled in SAM 6.2.1.

I'm not sure which browser you're using but it appears there's a spacing issue with the menu bar. FireFox 9.0.1 Chrome 18.0.1025.142 IE 9 Message was edited by: aLTeReGo ! (Fixed broken Images)

Nodes that are managed via WMI gather the last boot value from the "LastBootUpTime" under Win32_OperatingSystem of the CIMv2 namespace. It's a calculated value but the following site should help you make sense of it. http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/powershell/powershell3-check-uptime.htm

It seems in the posting found here that the link for production isn't hot, and the link for the eval is. So breezing through I naturally clicked the hot link and installed. DOH!

WPM does not as yet support auditing. You can see the full list of supported Audit Events here under "Show Audit Events" -> http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/NetPerfMon/OrionMessages.aspx

Yes, the recommended limit is 1000 agents per-poller. The reason why we recommend no more than 1000 agents per-poller is that unlike WMI, all agent communication are heavily encrypted and compressed, which can contribute to higher CPU utilization on the main poller or polling engine the agents are associated with.

Monitoring is far and away faster and more efficient locally. In most cases there is less communication overhead since there's no need to authenticate for most locally collected information. There is of course some small overhead associated with any agent, even if that agent is SNMP or WMI. The agent typically consumes…

This is by design. All application templates by default utilize the agent unless no agent is installed; in which case agentless polling is used. This functions the same as the 64bit polling method when/if SAM is installed on a 32bit operating system. In that scenario it will automatically use 32bit polling. The option to…

Have you tried viewing this from the "Queries" subview? Example here -> http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/APM/SqlBlackBox/SqlBlackBoxApplicationDetails.aspx?NetObject=ABSA%3a114&ViewID=415

Limiting the port range will certainly help if you're polling through a firewall or router with access control lists. There is no log of which port is used for WMI communications because it's truly random and determined by Windows DCOM and RPC Port Mapper Service. Out of curiosity, what OS is this monitored server running,…

Hmm.. Based on that screenshot it's pretty clear that the database is mounted on its prefered server (server with an Activation Preference of "1"), yet AppInsight for Exchange is still claiming that the database is not mounted on its prefered server. It may be that this flag isn't clearing properly. Is it possible that…

The "Add the node from the Manage Nodes page" is really nothing more than it says. If a user was to try and assign an application template to a node that was not yet managed by Orion this link allows them quick access to do just that.

I've looked over the MIB but I can't find any storage related information. I can see that you have the MegaRAID software installed, and I can see information in the IBM events MIB 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.3 that reference your storage controller but the MegaRAID MIB 1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 is missing completely from this server. Are…

Is it the following page in the documentation that you're referring to? * SWQL Syntax (Semantic Web Query Language)

I'm not entirely sure how the HTTP User Experience Monitor comes into play with JDBC, but you may want to consider trying this outside of SAM using something like wget to see if the results are different.

This issue resolves an issue specific to the out-of-the-box alert "Alert me when any hardware component goes into a warning or critical state". This alert, and any other custom ones that may have been created related to the "Hardware", "Hardware Type", or "Hardware Sensor" properties will also need to be deleted and…

Thank you for the offer, but we will work to reproduce this issue through our internal QA process. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

Yes. That is correct. That would be the recommended approach.
