  • The Windows Event Monitors included within the application template will notify you when the active cluster member has changed. * Microsoft Windows Server 2012-2012 R2 Failover Cluster * Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster * Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Failover Cluster
  • There may be something available through the VMWare API. The first place you should look is the VMWare monitors under "Find Processes, Services, and Performance Counters. This may ultimately be something you need to script, but I would have to imagine the current date/time of the ESXi host is available through the VMWare…
  • Are you looking for something like this? A copy of the report behind this resource is available at the link below. http://cid-2de8bc7ce0181410.office.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Solarwinds/Total%20Down%20Nodes.OrionReport?sa=40734798
  • If you chose "APM: Application" as the property to monitor in the Advanced Alert Manager you'll need to use the ${ComponentsWithProblems} and ${ComponentsWithStatus} macros. The ${ComponentName} and ${ComponentStatus} Macros are only valid when you select "APM: Component" as the property to monitor in the Advanced Alert…
  • Basically I need to know the number of switches I have, and the number of ports being used on the switch. How are you determining if a port is being used or not? By link status or by interface counters?
  • Based upon the screenshot provided this is not forms based authentication. This is a Basic/NTLM challenge/response dialog window, which should work with SAM's HTTP/HTTPS User Experience Monitors. Just ensure that the appropriate credentials have been provided for the component monitor.
  • There is no additional functionality derived from installing SAM or NPM on Windows 2012 vs 2008. If I was in your position however I would consider all the additional fixes, improvements, and extended longevity of supportability that Windows 2012 R2 provides. Mainstream support for Windows 2008 R2 ended in January of this…
  • Have you tried using the Custom Chart resource? Also, you can filter the events using the Custom Table resource.
  • Toolset Integration is enabled on per-individual user basis. It sounds like you may have enabled this for all users. Ensure that "Allow Browser Integration" is configured to "No" for those users who do not have the Toolset Installed. This is the default setting.
  • This is possible using the Alert Escalation feature in the Advanced Alerts as pictured below.

  • Are you using a Proxy server in your environment? * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: AppInsight for IIS: The WinRM client received an HTTP status code of 403 from the remote WS…
  • You can add additional software such as SNMP to monitor the VCSA. Adding software can be done with the “Yet another Setup Tool” (YAST)
  • In local execution mode the PowerShell script is run "on" the Orion server itself. Your code that executes may query remote resources, but the code is running locally on the Orion server. In remote execution mode the code is executed "on" the remote computer itself. This mode of operation requires properly configuring…
  • Assign appropriate application template to the node the same as you would any other. Then create a new Advanced Alert with logic defined to trigger on application "up" status similar to the following .
  • The functionality provided by the "Exchange 2010-2013 Database Availability Group" Template is now natively included as part of AppInsight for Exchange, which is available in the SAM 6.1 release, currently in beta.
  • It's stating that the cmdlet wasn't found. You've done a fine job of eliminating the usual culprits like bitness, permissions, remote vs. local execution, etc. I'm not sure exactly where the problem lies without a diagnostic. I would however recommend that you try the latest version of this template, which does not require…
  • How can we determine if APM is consuming enough resources and warrants being migrated ? Probably the simplest way to determine to load effect on your server from APM would be to take an average baseline of your servers resources (CPU/Memory) for 10-15min, then unmanage all APM applications for the same duration collecting…
  • SAM 6.2.2 is a minor service release to address several bugs. Release notes are not final, but I can give you an early sneak peek of the draft below. Fixed Issues and New Additions for Server & Application Monitor (Version 6.2.2): IssueCustomer Case NumberA problem with reporting the correct serial number for Dell nodes…
  • I asked this same question a while back. This is the thread
  • SAM 6.3 Beta 2 is now available which includes a Linux Agent for Node, Volume, Interface, and Application monitoring. This agent should address many of the shortcomings associated with monitoring Linux host via SNMP, up to and including properly calculating volume usage statistics referenced in this thread. If you already…
  • That's an excellent question, and something I've been wondering myself. It's actually one of the reasons why I haven't purchased Cirrus yet, as I have over 100 Catalyst 3750 stacks and as you can imagine inventory is very important. Ciscoworks does a wonderful job of keeping my 3750 stack inventory, even if it is an over…
  • We believe we have identified the issue and are tracking it internally under CORE-8171.
  • It is possible to unmanage a host remotely via a script such as PowerShell using the Orion SDK.
  • Adding a component to monitor the processes you reference is fairly straightforward. Simply launch the Real-Time Process Explorer from the Application or Node Details view of the server running those processes. Next, click the "Start Monitoring" button next to each process you wish to monitor, then walk through the wizard…
  • Your usage of APMServiceControl.exe is incorrect. You need to include the action as a switch. Below is from the Administrators guide. Usage: APMServiceControl ComponentId [-h] [-c=COMMAND-NAME] [-t=TIMEOUT] Options: ComponentId: The ID of the Windows Service Component Monitor to control. In the Advanced Alert Engine, you…
  • version 5 would be the correct answer. Found it in the directions. Thanks.
  • This could in theory be done via script monitors in SAM and textual configurations stored locally on the Orion server as TXT files. I can't say I've seen anyone do this specifically, but it's certainly possible to do. You would not however be able to accomplish this using SAM's HTTP/HTTPS User Experience Monitors. Out of…
  • It sounds like what you're experiencing is resolved with the following hotfix. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2640103
  • To monitor Windows Performance Counters over RPC the user account must either be a member of the Administrators group OR a member of the "Performance Monitor Users" group in Windows. Monitoring Processes via RPC appears to use the same permissions as listed above. Windows Services via RPC however requires Administrative…
  • After looking through the notes of your support case, it appears the issues was resolved after completing the following steps. REPLACE JOB ENGINE 1. Stop all Orion services from Orion Service Manager. 2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngineV2\Data\JobEngine35.sdf file and rename…
