This could be done through the SQL database, though it is not officially supported in any way. This is mostly because if done incorrectly it could result in irreparable damage to the database. The only officially supported mechanism as you describe would be to delete/remove the application from the node, then reassign it…

I don't believe the SQL User Experience Monitor will allow you to receive an alert when a row is inserted into a table. You could use to to query the table length and set a threshold higher than the number of rows are are expected to be in the table and alert based on that, but this would require you to adjust the…

Have you tried using the Unmanage Scheduling Utility?

This is where the Count Statistic as Difference option would be used.

There's a few different ways of doing this in Orion, but the most common is assigning Custom Properties to nodes that can then be used to define more intelligent alerts based on your organizational structure.

Solarwinds Orion v8 which is presently in beta has custom MIB support. I have it running now and am monitoring my Dell PowerEdge server's temperature, RAID Controller, fan, power supply, voltage and memory status. So hang in there, it's comming.

Hyper-V Cluster support is provided through Virtualization Manager only at this time.

Correct. In this release we are not monitoring logical volumes. This is something we'll consider in a future release. Unfortunately we had to stop somewhere and items like logical volumes and ESM logs didn't make this release. 

Did you check the startup config in /lib/svc/method/svc-net-snmp to verify the location of the snmpd.conf file? Try restarting the SNMP daemon using the following command. # svcadm restart svc:/application/management/net-snmp:default

$HISTIGNORE is a colon-separated list of patterns used to decide which command lines should be saved to the history list. This is contained in your ~/.bashrc and should allow you to exclude these commands from being saved to the history.

Maybe something like this? HTTP/S Block Check

The Orion web interface performance is almost exclusively driven by the SQL database performance, as virtually all information displayed is coming from the database itself. There are however some circumstances where high CPU utilization on the Orion server caused by polling overhead can and will directly impact the overall…

Have you followed the instructions outline here -> * http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/APMAdminGuide4-2.06.514.htm#9010737 Oracle also includes their own instructions on how to enable SNMP for Weblogic -> *…

This information is available natively in Orion with Virtualization Manager and cannot be easily obtained in SAM.

This can be resolved fairly simply. Edit the node which is managed by the agent. Clock "Select IP Address" and select the real IP address of the node, then save your changes. The errors should stop appearing in your event log and polling should function properly.

Also, what operating system is the monitored host running? There are known limitations monitoring services running on Windows NT 4.0 and earlier operating systems as discussed in the thread linked below.

Yes. SAM supports monitoring the hardware health of Dell PowerEdge, HP Proliant, and IBM X-Series server running either Windows or Linux. If you installed OMSA under Linux and the node is managed via SNMP, Hardware Health should appear as an option under "List Resources". If it's not an option then the Dell OpenManage MIBs…

Out of curiosity, where are you setting the "Count Statistic as Difference"? Is it in the template or the assigned application itself? We thought we had this issue licked in SAM 6.2, but based on your own experiences above this appears to still be an issue.

This wasn't possible with SeUM 1.0, but SeUM 1.5 fully supports Additional Pollers. You'll still need SeUM installed on the primary Orion server, but all the SeUM job processing, job scheduling, etc. can be offloaded to the additional poller. SeUM 1.5 was released earlier today and should be already be available to…

Have you installed the required IBM DB2 Windows ODBC Driver on the Orion server? The driver can be found on the IBM DB2 installation media.

SAM does not as yet have an SFTP/FTPS User Experience Monitor but it should be possible to create your own using something like Putty through a SAM script monitor. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8556241/call-multiple-commands-from-powershell-e-g-psftp Adding a SFTP/FTPS User Experience Monitor in SAM is a feature…

Solarwinds has developed an application template for monitoring Windows Media Services. It can be downloaded at the link below.

Yes, you can install NPM and SAM on the same server. In fact this is the most common and generally universal recommended configuration. Installation of both SAM and NPM on the same server will provide you a fully integrated, single pane of glass experience. Depending on your environment size (NPM SL500 and above or AL700…

I believe the KB article below is what you're looking for. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Latest required software used to monitor hardware health.

There are four possible causes and resolutions to resolve the issue that you are seeing: Resolution #1 If the Orion web console was not being used heavily, IIS shuts down the worker process that handles requests from Orion's website every 20 minutes (this is the default value in IIS). Server 2008 1. Control Panel>…

The following reports should get you most of the way to where you're going. From there you can request assistance in the Report Lab‌ from the report gurus that commonly frequent that form if you need help adding any additional information. * Component Monitor Threshold Value Report *…

I've worked with a handful of customers to set this up but none have been as security conscious as you. Some customers do need to modify the script to allow it to SU to root but as a general rule we recommend changing the permissions of the file to allow non-root users to execute the command. You will need to alter the…

shanepj, both of your suggestions are great and I hope they are seriously considered by the Orion development team for the next release. I don't think I have as many nodes as you, but I still feel your pain.

SP3 hasn't been pulled. It's available here -> ftp://ftp.solarwinds.net/Orion/ServicePack/Orion9.1-SP3.zip

The alert as written looks fine but I would recommending testing it by setting the trigger condition to something known to be true. E.G Volume Space Available is less than 3000000000000000 "300GB".
