I believe the following KB article may be what you're looking for. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How do I connect Orion to a named instance of SQL Server 2005 on a non-standard port?

There appears to be a combination of things going on here that are making this more painful than they should be. The first is that the default URL (solarwinds.com) has a redirect to HTTPS that isn't being followed. So do most common sites I tried like Google.com, Yahoo.com, Yelp.com, and Pepsi.com. So first you'll need to…

As Petr.Vilem‌ eluded, there is likely an issue preventing plugin deployment from occurring properly. In most cases it's that the server is pending a reboot from previous Windows Updates that were applied without rebooting the server. In others, there is some issue installing the .NET Framework 4.0. I would recommend…

Not currently, but this is something we're actively working on.

The simplest method would be to use SNMP instead of WMI/RPC for monitoring your domain controllers. In SAM you can monitor things like processes, services, hardware health, asset inventory, etc. using SNMP. You can also use TCP Port Monitors and the LDAP User Experience Monitor to ensure domain functions are working…

Unfortunately this is not configurable on a persistent basis at this time; though that would make an excellent feature request.

SQL AlwaysOn is the recommended solution for Orion High Availability. Traditional SQL Clusters can also be used for the SQL Server, but these have fallen out of favor in recent years with the introduction of SQL AlwaysOn. Database mirroring and log shipping cannot be used with Orion High Availability.

In the latest SAM 5.5 beta it is now possible to see the service state (starting/etc). If you'd like to participate in the latest SAM beta you can sign-up here to download to give it a try.

When you create an external node you have to define an IP address or DNS hostname (that ultimately resolves to an IP address). It's likely that you're trying to create an External node using your web servers DNS name, SAM is in turn attempting to resolve that name to an IP address and finding that this node is already…

Perhaps I should clarify something. I am not employed by, affiliated with or associated to SolarWinds or SolarWinds Technical Support in any way. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily those of SolarWinds or SolarWinds technical support staff. I am simply a long time knowledgeable customer who makes every…

This might not be the answer you were looking for but this is a problem with Microsoft's SNMP daemon and not Orion. You would have better success opening a case with Microsoft then with Solarwinds as this is a Microsoft issue. Microsoft Support Telephone # (800) 936-4900 If you open a case with Microsoft and they provide…

The issue is caused by the stored procedure getting created under a different schema than dbo, for example SolarWindsNPM if this is the user account used to connect to the database. To resolve this, you need to open the database in SQL Management Studio and run the following query: Alter SCHEMA dbo transfer…

You don't need to manage the node via WMI to use a SAM Component Monitor that utilizes the WMI protocol such as the File Count Monitor. Keep the node managed as SNMP, and when assigning the File Count Monitor to the node simply provide adequate windows credentials.

Have you tried using a report? At a minimum it will allow you to do number of day ago the server was rebooted. This resource can then be placed on the Node Details view and limited only to the node being viewed.

It might sound convoluted but you can create an alert in the SNMP Trap Viewer to write the SNMP Trap information to the Windows Event Log and then use the Windows Event Log Forwarder to send the information to the Syslog Viewer in Orion. Alternatively you could use the Windows Event Log component monitor in APM…

This should be possible leveraging the Orion SDK. You may also find some assistance with the script in the Script Lab.

Hmm... SAM has a file change monitor that will notify you if a change to a file has occurred, We even have a template to monitor log files for content and notify you if an error is found. We don't however have a component monitor or template that would tell you if a file HASN'T changed. That's not to say it isn't possible.…

It's important to note that Hardware Health information will not be collected for the host unless the new user you create is a member of the "root" user group. For more information see the KB article below. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: An account used for monitoring VMware through CIM must belong to the root group on…

Something like this?

The PowerShell executes locally or remotely depending how it's configured within the component monitor settings. If it works when running the test from within the template editor, but not when it's simply assigned to a node for polling then it sounds like something might be amiss with the Job Engine. If this is one of our…

What modules are installed and what versions are they? it looks like your VIM module may be out of date or isn't properly registered. Have you tried re-running the Configuration Wizard?

SAM's HTTP/HTTPS Monitor should be able to access that URL without issue. I can't obviously say definitively simply by looking at the URL itself, but provided the MIME type on the web server is set properly and there is no JavaScript executed I don't foresee any problems.

This may be related to the following post. * Allow precompilation of NPM pages

The "SQL Server" view under Applications does this today. The same principal used here can be applied to any summary view by customizing the page and adding a view limitation based on the application name.

This is great! Have you considered posting this as an Application Template to the Content Exchange?

For overall application status of AppInsight applications you would use the "APM: Application" property type and its associated variables. The AppInsight property types are exclusively for AppInsight properties that are not applicable to traditional application templates.

Based on the screenshot provided this component is not in a warning or critical state. Please verify you are adjusting the threshold for the correct component monitor on the right Exchange server. You may have adjusted this threshold for one server, and are being alerted to this condition occurring on a different Exchange…

I believe the error redlotus‌ is seeing is within the Configuration Wizard. I've only ever once seen this error before and it was related to insufficient permissions/access to the SQL database. I would recommend re-running the Configuration Wizard and providing SA or equivalent credentials for the purpose of installation.…

Microsoft's Exchange replication health check does not allow for inclusion or exclusion of specific databases. This is a limitation of Exchange, not of AppInsight for Exchange. You can see the results yourself by running "Test-ReplicationHealth" from a PowerShell prompt on the Exchange server itself. It should mirror what…

The simplest way would be to unmanage the nodes in those locations. If this is a regularly scheduled reoccurring event you can even use the Unmanage Scheduling Utility. Another option if you've defined Custom Properties to these nodes to designate their location, you can alter the Trigger Condition of the Advanced Alert to…
