Most customers run Orion on a shared SQL instance, though it is recommended to separate Orion out to its own LUN for the database and transaction logs to minimize any impact it might have on other applications sharing the SQL server. Your TempDB would also, ideally be on SSD for maximum performance. Virtually any query in…

It just occurred to me that this error is typically returned when the website being monitored uses host headers. By default the HTTPS Monitor connects to the server via its IP address. Can you please try opening your browser and try going to this web server using the IP address. E.G. https://192.168.10.42:18100/bla/bla and…

This would be APM. You're looking for the SNMP Process Monitor.

If this is within a subview then it's not possible to have differing view limitations for each subview. They would need to be completely different summary views if you wanted to apply different view limitations.

That looks like it should work without issue, but obviously it's not. Can we try converting this to a float with the following query and see if that works any better? If that doesn't work either then it sound like there's some issue querying the sys.database table with SAM and I would recommend opening a case with support…

Not as of yet, but I've posted the this idea in the feature request forum at the link below to allow other users of the community the opportunity to vote for this idea. * https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/4719

Thanks Alex Slv. I've logged this as a bug internally under FB328569.

crippsb@hcdsb.org, I'm afraid you are mistaken. SAM is licensed similar to NPM, replacing Interfaces for Components. That is to say that SAM is licensed based on Nodes, Volumes, or Component Monitors. Whichever is highest. That means with an AL150 you can monitor 150 nodes, 150 volumes AND 150 Component Monitors…

Maintenance should occur nightly at 2:15am (by default). This can be configured under [Settings - Polling Settings - Database Settings - Archive Time]. If the Orion or SQL server are configured to reboot or perform some other maintenance routine at this time it may be preventing maintenance from occurring properly. It's…

You can do this with a report resource using the report attached. It can be added to a summary view, and can even be filtered dynamically and added to a Node Details view using the resource filter "NodeID = ${NodeID}"

You can use the following report to help you identify volumes that no longer exist on the system and aren't being polled. * Unknown Volumes Report

The logic to reset the condition will need to be included in your script similar to how it's handled in our Log Parser templates. Fortunetly you have a Perl and PowerShell example already included in SAM. This is how the "Number of Newly Found Strings" component works within this template. Each time the script is run it…

By virtue of monitoring the number of running processes, have you not confirmed the application is running?

Provided your script monitors return only a single statistical value each then I don't foresee any reason why the Custom Table or Custom Chart resource would not work.

to the rescue. I posted this as a report in the content exchange. It can be downloaded at the link below. *

sturdyerde​'s suggestion above would be the recommended approach. I would recommend * install the latest versions on the new server but cancel the Configuration Wizard when it launches * shutdown the old server * take the IP address and hostname of the old server to the new server * restore the database from old SQL server…

Touché. It seems that it's not working as expected so I've logged this under FB110765 and asked development to take a look. It's likely something that would need to be fixed in a service pack, service release, or in a major release. But below is a screenshot showing where it should be allowing you to change the credentials.

Sounds like the death knell for System Manager to me

Indeed that template does not support Regex, though what you are looking for is something we're currently working on.

Thank you for reporting the issue dbundus. I have been able to reproduce the issue myself internally. DanielleH, our Thwack Community manager is looking into the problem now.

The following additional macros are now available in the SAM 6.0 RC (available now) * ${USER} * ${PASSWORD} * ${PORT} * ${Node.SysName} * ${Node.Caption} * ${Node.DNS} * ${Node.ID} * ${Component.ID} * ${Component.Name} * ${Application.Id} * ${Application.Name} * ${Application.TemplateId * ${Threshold.Warning} *…

Nothing to report currently. Since the iDRAC required for agentless hardware health monitoring only began being sold as an option in Dell's 2013 server line, penetration in the data center has been slow. That doesn't mean however, that this will never be implemented. Rather, we will implement this feature as with most…

I honestly don't think this would require any knowledge of SQL to accomplish. What I think might be causing confusion is what is meant by the term "snapshot". Does that mean a single value representing the mean, average, min, max value? Does it mean time series data expressed in a chart? Is this for a particular SQL and…

One more question: I was thinking on installing SAM and NPM on seperate servers in order to distribute the load that will generat due to polling, with having both on one server would all the polling affect the performance of the server and how do you handle this in your case any suggestions/thoughts on this ? would you…

My recommendation would be to change the way this node is polled to use the Agent to see if that resolves the issue. The process is painless and can be done entirely though the Orion web interface. Simply edit the node and click the "Agent" radio button, provide credentials, and you should be well on your way. In the off…

The template referenced above is available for download through the Thwack Content Exchange, but is also available out-of-the-box. Simply apply it to your SharePoint 2010 server to begin monitoring. Assign to Node You can create an assigned Application Monitor by assigning template(s) to nodes. To create an assigned…

I would recommend using the Multi Component Statistics resource on the Application Details view.

Unfortunately what you describe is only available in AppInsight for SQL.

That's a great solution!
