What is the polling method being used? Are you polling these hosts through the vCenter or are you polling them directly, and have you tried changing this option?

How were these applications assigned to the nodes? Did the monitoring of these applications ever work? I ask because the error you reference is stating that the Windows Performance Counter referenced in the template doesn't exist on that node. I see that you're managing 46 applications, but how many nodes are those…

Can you trying changing the "Platform to run polling job on" for that application from x86 to x64, wait a few polling periods and see if that resolves the issue?

Are these network devices or servers you're trying to report on?

I think you're missing a condition group. As your alert is written above no alerts would be sent for Node name = blah (blured out) or Fans. Also note that Alert "Test" does not evaluate the rule condition. It's used solely to verify email configurations, macros, etc. It's not a validation that the rule is written properly…

You can import this template using SAM's in product Thwack integration under [Settings -> SAM Settings -> Shared thwack Templates]. Alternatively you can download the template to your desktop and import it from Manage Application Monitor Templates. Once the template has been downloaded/imported you can assign it to your…

The Orion server template that's included in SAM 5.0 has been updated to support the latest version or Orion which no longer includes monitoring of the Network Performance Monitor server. It's likely your SAM 5.0 server was upgraded from a previous version of APM which might explain why the template was not the latest.…

The days remaining is the metric returned by that component, so there is no specific field in the Alert Manager called 'Days Remaining'. It's simply the same metric field you would use for any other statistic component monitored by SAM.

You may want to use the following Application Template instead. Linux process check

The "Warning: Server Scope is Almost Full" is triggered off of an event message generated by the Windows DHCP server into the Windows Event Log. This is not based upon a threshold. However, SAM 6.0 (Currently in Beta) does allow you to define thresholds for Event Log Messages. In fact you can choose whether the alert…

It's a fairly trivial task to determine if the data is older than a certain period of time or polling/playback intervals, it's however something entirely different to interact with the job scheduler to force a manual playback on a remote player as an action to these results. Remember, the job is being scheduled normally…

The requirement for a 'Node' in Orion is that the device respond to an ICMP Echo request (Ping) from the Orion server. In order to get hardware health from those devices you need to ensure the device is configured for SNMP and configured as an SNMP node in Orion. Is the device managed in Orion as an SNMP node? Are you able…

based on the screenshot you posted it appears you placed the URL I referenced into the wrong field. The URL '${IP}/shared/images/login.jpg' should be placed into the URL field rather than the Search String field.

"Node Name" should work without issue. If you are having difficulty using it then it is likely due to converting the alert type from Application to Component. Try removing the "Node" rule and re-adding it to the trigger condition when the "I want to alert on:" field is set to "Component". Alternatively you can use the…

By the "Host" what exactly are you referring to?

SAM 6.0 supports Dell PowerEdge, HP Proliant, and IBM X-Series servers, as well as Dell's M1000e and HP's C3000 and C7000 blade chassis.

Each monitored volume would consume one volume license. SAM is licensed by nodes, volume and components. Meaning that an AL150 license allows you to monitor 150 nodes, and 150 volumes, AND 150 application components for a total of 450 monitors.

The information gathered from the VMware API that you're seeing on the virtual machine details of the host shows the unique memory usage of the guest. The volume details from SAM is showing the total shared and unique total memory in use by that virtual machine. The number shown in the Virtual Machine Details resource…

Yes, this is essentially what I am looking for. However, the credential part is a big piece for me as well. I continue to have problems with APM due to the way Credentials are designed to be applied. This is a well understood problem that we're looking for creative solutions to. I can't promise anything but it's on our…

The easiest method would be to create a new application template containing a Windows Event Log Monitor, configured to look for those specific event IDs.

The local users accounts created by the WPM Player are named "SEUM-User-1", "SEUM-User-2", etc.

Yes. If it's still reachable regardless of the state of the parent then nothing changes. If the child is down and the parent is also down, then the state of the child will not be "down", it will be "unreachable". Unreachable is still an alertable status if you choose, but is not the same as "Down". E.G. alerts configured…

This error and its resolution is discussed in some detail in the following thread. * AppInsight IIS issues There is also a KB article available at the link below which outlines how to resolve this error. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: AppInsight for IIS: Unable to create wsMan listener (Error code: 16024)

The exact value is not technically possible using SNMP since SNMP measures CPU in time ticks. CPU measurement is calculated by the difference between the last and previous poll, which returns the average CPU for that time period. The more frequently you poll, the more accurate and less averaged that measurement becomes. If…

Do those servers which are incorrect or are duplicated share the same MAC Address in common?

Once you enable SNMP on the OpenVMS system you should be able to monitor it no differently than any other host in Orion. You may also be able to use SAMs script monitors to gather even more information from these hosts.

The definition of a baseline is a period of time when things are deemed "normal". As such, the baseline period is determined by you using the last seven days of historical data. Once a baseline has been set it is not recalculated until you force a recalculation to occur. This would typically be when there have been…

If you look at the trend over time as a chart you can determine your baseline for normal. As this counter is holding relatively steady this appears to be normal for your environment and not something you should be concerned about. If you see a sudden or steady increase in this value I would consider contacting Microsoft…
