You would need to create an Alert based on the Audit Event generated by acknowledging the alert.

Yes, though I would recommend reading the following KB article first. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Remoting JMX

cnorborg​, I can't say I've seen the issue you are describe above in my own environment, even after opening a dozen SSH sessions to different devices simultaneously. A highly distributed architecture could impose some additional latency and delays in the SSH communication, and even a flaky wireless connection could result…

Is APM incorrectly reporting that Apache the process is down via SNMP or do you have a HTTP/s port monitor or user experience monitor that is reporting down for that web server?

The easiest option is to utilize custom properties if there's no common naming convention, IP address schema or anything else that makes these group of hosts unique. It's not yet possible to leverage group membership for volume utilization alerts.

Martin is correct. Hardware Monitoring in SAM 5.0 does not count against your component monitor licenses. You receive this functionality as part of the node license. Only one node license per-server is required. To your NPM/NCM license question, these two license do not have to be the same. It's very common for customers…

Isn't that called "Orion"? See http://www.solarwinds.net/products/orion/index.aspx for more details.

This should appear on the Node Details view under the Management Resource. It is also available on the Application Details view in the Application Details resource

The following template will tell you if you have any failed backups. Symantec NetBackup (Server)

Based on the information you provided it sounds like the managed node is running VMware and not Windows/Linux so the web interface instructions from Administrators Guide are no applicable. For hardware health information on VMware nodes we use CIM or the VMware API. When you open the vSphere client and look at the hardware…

Because WMI is based on DCOM it uses any port over 1024. The links below provide instructions on limiting WMI to a specific port or a limited range of ports. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb219447(v=vs.85).aspx…

This KB article here should resolve your issue.

SAM includes several out-of-the-box Inventory Reports. Below a few, including the Software Inventory report which can be used for tracking license usage etc. These can be further customized, or new ones created from scratch to suit your specific needs.

The Agent provides parity with WMI managed nodes. That includes things such as Volumes, Interfaces, Hardware Health, Asset Inventory, applications, etc.

Rather than use the ODBC User Experience Monitor, have you tried using the SQL User Experience Monitor? The SQL User Experience Monitor allows for Windows authentication natively.

I believe the following KB article should resolve your issue. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2870416

Asset Inventory data collected by SAM is not available for use in building Dynamic Groups. It's certainly an interesting idea, likely worthy of posting to the forum.

That is correct. Backup the database, restore the database on another SQL server, install WPM on a new machine, run the configuration wizard, point at the newly restored database, and you should be good to go.

You should be able to simply assign the HTTPS Monitor to the node.

[dbo].[Settings]

likely a poor link choice is the reason for this confusion. Instead of the doc links listed above, you should instead head within the product to [Settings -> Manage Hardware Sensors]. Here you can enable/disable individual hardware sensors for monitoring.

Yes that would be a typo. Bronx will assuredly correct that mistake in the next revision of the SAM Administrators Guide. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. As for the error you are receiving, this is actually a known bug introduced in SAM 6.1.1 and resolved in the SAM 6.2 release currently in beta. If you open a…

SAM 6.2 includes the ability to ignore "down" state if this is deemed normal for your application to occasionally not be running. When configured the application will appear in a blue "Not Running" status instead of a Red "Down" state.

This is not currently possible today, though you can use the "Notes" fields within the application to fulfil a similar purpose.

You should be able to use something similar to the following in your PowerShell Script [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$false}

In APM 4.2 the ${UserDescription} and ${UserNotes} macros are available from the APM: Component property of the Advanced Alert Manager. Any information entered into the template for a component monitor in the Description or Notes fields are passed with these variables.
