For those services that use Cyrillic names, you may want to try using SAM's Windows Service Monitor instead of Service Status - SNMP. SNMP as a standard is fairly rigid in what it allows to be expressed and how, but WMI and RPC tend to be more forgiving and often times have workarounds for different languages and character…

Perl executed on the Orion server has to execute through the Windows Script interpreter "cscript.exe". If you don't specify the script type in the file you will need to specify it in the command line. E.G. "cscript /engine:Perlscript myscript.pl". The equivalent of this switch in SAM is the "Script Engine" option in the…

This still seems to be the case after installing the NTA hotfix released today. Here's another screen-scrape post upgrade just in case it's helpful Orion Website Error An error has occurred with the Orion website. Additional Information System.Exception: Unable to create TopApplicationsReport. --->…

As cvachovecj​ suggested, Storage Resource Monitor is what you are looking for.

I recommend checking out this thread here

The following templates are included out-of-the-box and allow for simple log file monitoring as you describe. * Windows: Log Parser (PowerShell) * Linux/Unix: Log Parser (Perl)

It's good to hear that things are working better for you now. Thank you for following up on this thread!

Readme file for this hotfix was updated earlier today with revised/corrected instructions.

Appears to be working for me.

jezmarsh‌ is correct. Another reason why a node may not be listed in the drop-down is that it's not a managed node in Orion.

As referenced in the following Thread, have you tried changing the script ServerCertificateValidationCallback setting to true? "[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}"

I've completed the upgrade process from 8.1 to 8.5 four times now under various conditions and configurations with fantastic success. Regardless of past success, I would never begin any upgrade without a complete backup.

SAM 5.2 is now available. I would recommend upgrading to see if that resolves your SQL query issue.

Have you tried restarting the Remote Registry Service on the monitored server? In this case the Orion server itself, and then re-testing?

Do me a favor and keep the alert trigger condition as-is, but change the "Reset Condition" from "Alert when trigger conditions are no longer true" to "Reset this alert when the following conditions are met", copy the trigger condition and manually adjust the "Statistic Data (Numeric) is equal to 0" to something that is not…

SAM will measure how long it took for the page element to load. So in the case of a simple HTML file the response time measurement will be of how long it took for that one file to be downloaded, but not the other components that make up the page like GIF's, JPG's, Flash or CSS components. While you could create HTTP User…

I didn't mention that I did give that a try already but I attempted again based on your suggestion with the same result. If I change the "all" to "any" in the interface section of the alert, the alert triggers for every monitored interface in Orion.

"...When I drill down to some of the interfaces this client shouldn't be passing traffic to NTA ..." Sorry Andy. It's amazing how much difference a comma can make. I'm investigating what traffic is going through a particular interface from a specific client since it shouldn't be passing any data through this interface. NTA…

Try #3 Uses an alert suppression in an attempt to exclude GigabitEthernet9/6 and GigabitEthernet9/38 but unfortunately the alert still triggers on these interfaces.

Some other tricks to try would be to restart the "Remote Registry" service on the Citrix Server. You can also try rebuilding the performance counters by running "lodctr /r" at the command line of the Citrix server. These two tricks usually resolve about 90% of all Windows Performance Counter issues.

Then it could be one of two things. Either these are 64bit counters only, or you selected 64bit when these are 32bit counters. Another possibility is that you are using a template which references performance counter categories or instances that have either been moved or renamed. I would suggest using the Component Monitor…

I concur with dfairles​. This sounds like a database blocking and memory pressure issue that was resolved in NPM 12.5.

rfackrell​ is referring to the Last XX Audit Events resource.

Agreed. Because of the nature of SQL it's certainly possible to create a very expensive trigger condition but those would typically need to be custom SQL. As Leon Adato suggested, you can use AppInsight for SQL built into SAM to see if the alert conditions are your most expensive queries. Alternatively for deeper analysis,…

orioncrack is correct. SAM is not a configuration change management solution. You could achieve something close by enabling Active Directory auditing and utilizing SAM's Windows Event Log Monitor to notify you of changes you're interested in. The other option would be to leverage LEM (Log & Event Manager) which is far…

I posted the following report which provides an example using the Custom Table Resource to achieve something similar, though pstranak‌'s statement still holds true. The PID is not available, likely because there can be more than one PID for a given monitored process (multiple instances of a process). Top Processes &…

The reason I asked about "down" or "Unknown" monitors is there is a lesser known, not well understood, and currently undocumented memory leak in Microsoft's RPC implementation that has been shown to manifest itself under rare and unusual circumstances when repeated attempts to connect fail. Such as in the case of…

Yes. The hotfix is from Microsoft and related to a problem with the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system. It is not SAM or SAM version specific.

Have you applied the hotfix referenced in the KB article above?

Could you try disabling bulk loading of process information? There is kb for disabling bulk for snmp process: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Monitoring or Polling of your Cisco Call Manager stops working after upgrading to SAM 5.0. and kb that describes this configuration section in more details: SolarWinds Knowledge Base ::…
