tdanner, I'm running 8.5.1 SP3 and applied the hotfix you posted here for the Ajax'd version of the All Nodes resource but it doesn't fix my problem. The problem I'm seeing is that all of my nodes are showing up under custom groupings, even ones that don't belong. For example, I have an all servers resource that groups…

APM doesn't appear anywhere in my portal. Should I contact Solarwinds Customer Service tomorrow during normal business hours?

The component events generated by these stored procedures are the "SAM Monitor Up", "SAM Monitor Down" events. You can leave just these enabled if you'd like.

Glad you got it working. If the error hasn't cleared yet it should be fixed in RC2. Other than that, what has been your experience with AppInsight for Exchange thus far?

Ok, so the issue is that you're unable to validate text within a text entry field? If that's the case this is a known limitation using text validation. Your initial comment sounded like you were unable to get SeUM to enter text into a field reliably. That's why I suggested using the "tab" key instead of clicking on the…

Not by default, but that would make for a good Server & Application Monitor Feature Requests

Out-of-the-box SAM provides audit events when nodes are added or deleted. This may be a simpler approach to tracking this information. This can be used in Alerts as well as in reports.

That option was implemented for the MAPI User Experience Monitor only. They have not as yet been implemented for other email protocols such as POP3, IMAP4,or Exchange Web Services.

Not at this time. Your best bet would be to adjust the following settings for that object to best suit your need.

Thanks for the response. The 2nd answer is what I am looking for. So, here is some more info. * The \SolarWinds\Orion\APM\SolarWinds.APM.Probes.dll.config is set to: <SnmpProcessProbeSettings BulkSize="10" PollMethod="BulkRow" MaxProcessCount="30000" RetryCount="2" Timeout="2500"/> So, are you suggesting I change the…

Without a MIB walk it's difficult to say for certain what the issue might be. I would recommend applying the following UnDP, upon which the native APC UPS Monitoring was built. This may help you troubleshoot more easily. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Documents/APC-SmartUPS-Universal-Device-Pollers/ta-p/511622

Have you set the Alert Engine service to interact with the desktop in the service manager? Stupid question, but does this still apply if no one is logged into the server?

My guess is the value being returned for the statistic is a string. That string may be a numeric value of "1" but it's not an integer. E.G something like "DECLARE @call_dest_regid int;"

I've asked one of our SAM support specialists to reach out and assist with this case. I'm extremely confident she'll be able to get to the bottom of this quickly. Please update this thread with the final outcome of the case once it's been resolved. Thanks!

I would suggest posting in the official Orion feature request thread.

Wow, I wish I could help you but I can't. Orion 8.1 does not currently support SNMP tables, nor can it do any level of mathematical computation other than less than, greater than, or equal to the results of a given OID. Maybe this will be possible in 8.5, but currently this can't be done in 8.1. Sorry.

Yes, there is a method for excluding services from HA. To put a service on the blacklist, perform these steps: * Open C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\HighAvailability\Plugins\Blacklists\OrionMainPoller.xml * Add this line: <Name>YourServiceName</Name> You need to perform this on both members(servers) in the HA pool.

Correct. Additional Polling Engines will continue to function polling/collecting data when the main poller is down, but obviously alerting and the Orion web interface will not work until the main poller is back online. 

adatole​ is correct. Additional Pollers only communicate with the main poller and additional web servers, but not other APEs.

cnorborg‌ is correct. Both SAM and NPM should be installed on the same server using the same database for this to work as seamlessly as you expect. The only other alternative is to use the Enterprise Operations Console.

This is the purpose behind the "Polling Engines" property type in the Advanced Alert Manager.

SAM has no use for MIBs beyond the trap receiver. In what way are you trying to utilize MIBs?

vinx​, I've reviewed your case notes and it appears as though the problem you are experiancing is resolved in the NPM 12.4 RC which can be downloaded from the Customer Portal.

SAM's HTTPS Monitor is very accurate. Commonly when we see issues similar to the one you describe above the issue is related to CRL (Certificate Revocation List) retrieval. This can be caused by the Orion server not being allowed access to the internet, high latency to the CRL server, or sometimes by self-signed…

Have you tried copying the script to the server and calling the sudo command as part of a bash script in the Linux/Unix script monitor that then executes perl? [Linux/Unix Script Monitor = Bash] -> [Executes on remote host invoking sudo] -> [executes local perl script] Another way is to combine this into the script itself…

even physical chassis elements like fan, temperature, RAM module, and RAID array statuses (for the major vendors like SIM, OpenManage, and IBM). Server Hardware Health is a function of SAM, whereas network device Hardware Health is a function of NPM. So if you do not own SAM, you will not be able to monitor the hardware…

There is a setting called "DisableBreadCrumbs" in the inetpub\SolarWinds\web.config file. Just set the value to true.

jamesvalero wrote: If it is supposed to be dynamic, does SAM do a DNS lookup each time it runs a Application Monitor? Yes. That is how dynamic IPs are handled.

Native SAML 2.0 support for Orion is included in the NPM 12.4 Release Candidate which can be downloaded from your Customer Portal now.

Out of curiosity what Windows version is running on that remotely monitored host? Also, what version of SAM are you running? Lastly, by chance was this node's polling method changed from SNMP to WMI at some point?
