The listing is in order of which applications were monitored first. I agree, it makes no sense but that's the method to the madness. I've gone ahead and logged this as a bug internally under FB236886.

We have made significant improvements to node thresholds, including allowing thresholds to influence the status of the node, and therefore a group. For more information, please see the following post. Orion Platform 2019.2 - Enhanced Node Status

You will need to follow the steps outlined in this guide. While not exactly a migration, this will highlight the areas where the originating server hostname and IP is stored and used. http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/OrionServerMigration.pdf

Can you try the following steps? 1) Go to agent machine with the reported problem and open Internet Explorer 2) Type https://PollerIP:17778/ only. Please avoid using the hostname and use the IP of the polling engine the Agent is managed by 3) If everything works as expected, you should get the message "connection is not…

The WIndows Event Log monitor CPU resource consumption has never been measured in such a finite test, but I can say that it would be so negligible that it would be very difficult to measure at just a fraction of 1%. Polling Frequency: This is the frequency where by the application will be polled. The default value is 300…

What kind of VMs are these? VMware or Hyper-V?

The field is called "User Display Name" and is shown in the default out-of-the-box "Users By Mailbox Quota" report pictured below.

The following SAM Application template can be used as a template for building something similar in SCOM for monitoring your Orion server. Orion Server

Yes, this can be done in SAM using the HTTP User Experience Monitor as shown below.

Is the Event Log Monitor triggering for every event? Are you using Sustained Threshold Status Conditions? E.G. X out of Y polls, or X consecutive polls? It might help to see a screenshot of the threshold configuration, the baseline detail, and the corresponding events showing when the component goes into a warning or…

The DHCP User Experience Monitor functions no differently than a workstation configured to use DHCP. That is to say, we are bound by the same RFC limitations as any other DHCP client. Unfortunately, requesting DHCP leases for a network segment other than the one you're on simply not allowed by the DHCP RFC. The only…

SAM's Hardware Health of ESX/ESXi hosts is done either via the VMware API or through the CIM protocol, depending on how it's being polled. If you are polling your ESX information in SAM via the vCenter, then I recommend polling these host directly to see if this changes the behavior of the polling. It may be that the…

Yes, this can be done using SAM's PowerShell Script monitor. In fact, the following template provides some excellent examples that are applicable to your scenario. * Office 365 User Statistics with PowerShell

There is no officially sanctioned or supported method for automating the installation of any Orion Server based product. The optional Agent and/or QoE Sensors are the only notable exception that comes to mind. That doesn't however mean that the process of installing and configuring an Orion based product, such as SAM, NPM,…

I was just looking into this issue myself in the lab and was wondering if this is occurring only when testing the alert or are you receiving legitimate email notifications of hardware issues in your environment with the contents of the email being incorrect?

This certainly shouldn't be happening with the out of the box alert. Please open a case with support so we can work this issue properly. You may have inadvertently discovered a bug. Please post the case number here once the ticket is opened so we can track it. Thanks! 

The latest JMX component monitor in the SAM 5.2 beta includes support for Boolean values. If you're an existing APM/SAM customer under active maintenance you can sign-up here to participate in the beta. We'd love to get your feedback on this feature. To learn more about what's new in the SAM 5.2 beta please read my blog…

Hmmm....That's an interesting idea. I could see this being done via PowerShell fairly easily. $web = New-WebServiceProxy ‘http://www.webservicex.net/whois.asmx?WSDL’$web.GetWhoIs(‘solarwinds.com’)

ppowers, we're currently tracking this as a feature request under FB131828 but I'd still like to hear from other members of the community who'd also like to see Boolean value support added to the JMX component monitor in SAM.

All ports listed are destination ports as source port is almost always a random high port greater than 1024.

If you've defined the warning and critical thresholds for the TCP Port monitors in the APM component monitors. either in the master template or the template as it's assigned to the specific node then you can use the APM:Application OR APM:Component property in the Advanced Alert Manager. If you haven't defined the warning…

There are at least two different ways you could monitor for this condition. You could either use the Windows Event Log Monitor looking for EventID 333, or you could create a Windows Performance Counter Monitor using the Component Monitor Wizard and monitor the Pool NonPaged memory.

The Windows Server 2003 - 2008 and IIS Application templates in APM use WMI and RPC, not SNMP to collect their data. This is likely the issue you're facing. If you look at dropped packet logs on your firewall you'll likely notice a fair number of entries coming from your Orion Server. WMI is not a firewall friendly because…

Unfortunately once these have been created as monitors there's no method to convert them into application templates.

I recommend instead to use this Application Template instead. It uses the new SSL Certificate Expiration monitor added in APM 4.2 and does not rely on scripts.

Question 1: Our application stars around 50 processes. Each process can have 10 metrics we want to measure. Currently we capture these martices in .csv file. and plot it through in house tooling. We see that in solar winds we need to send a command or several commands every minute. We are thinking this may increase the…

As part of the query you have control over the order in which the fields are represented. The reason I presume why the first column is not the value you are looking for is due to the "group by" statement. You can do something similar using a view where you have complete control over the column ordering.

Since being acquired by Microsoft, I fully expect we will see greater adoption of this solution in the not too distant future. For now through, what is it about the product that you're having difficulty trying to monitor?

Yes, you can use a Wildcard certificate with NPM. I'm using one myself (and have been for years) and have had no issues.

This should be a warning only and nothing to be concerned about if your SQL server is properly managed. The issue that occurs and the reason why this check exists at all is that it's far too common for users to deploy Orion in their production environment using the default 'Full' recovery model. What they don't realize is…
