Yes. These tables can be safely removed from the SAM database, as they are not used by SAM.

Certainly! Simply remove the Warning and Critical thresholds for Index Fragmentation of the databases you don't care to be alerted about index fragmentation

This Performance Counter returns how many requests were dropped because they were already in the queue. The agent has an internal queue that it uses for transaction playback requests that cannot be immediately executed because there are no free worker processes. If a transaction is in the queue and a new playback request…

This is probably why it's dubbed Patch & Pray Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up jbiggley‌!

You can filter out the AppInsight for SQL application from the "Applications with Problems" resource just as you described above, using the application TemplateID as the filter. Below is an example of what that filter would look like if the template ID number was "216".

How is the HTTPS monitor configured? Do you receive a similar error when you attempt to access the same server the template is assigned to in your web browser using the servers IP address? E.G http://192.168.1.25? 504 errors are returned by the web server being monitored, not by SAM. These errors usually mean there is an…

's suggestion is probably the best, but another one that might be easier would be to enable SNMP Traps from the device. You can then alert when an SNMP trap related to a hard drive failure is received. The following thread leads me to believe this should be possible.…

Response time thresholds will drive the component's warning & critical status, where search (missing content) will return a 'down' status.

Are you referring to the Multiple Statistic Chart resource which is used for multi-value script monitors, or the Multiple Object chart resource which is used to show various different metrics collected by Orion within the same chart resource? A screenshot may prove helpful as I'm unable to reproduce this myself using SAM…

You're right. There are a lot of options available, but they are all essentially defined within the Advanced Alert Manager. You can define alerts as narrowly or as broadly as required within a given property type. The more generic the alert, the fewer you will need to manage/maintain going forward. The inverse is also…

Not at this time. Macros are not supported currently in the SQL, Oracle, or ODBC User Experience Monitors.

Is it possible the Orion server was disconnected from the SQL server database during this maintenance period? I only ask because I've encountered the same issue when my Orion server was unable to connect to the SQL server servicing the Orion DB for a period of time. I'm sure this isn't expected behavior. I would assume…

Capturing the output from the batch file in the remote PowerShell script would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Have you considered porting the actions of the batch file into the PowerShell script instead? 

Could you elaborate?

This information isn't contained in any single log file. You will however find all log detail in the C:\programdata\Solarwinds\Logs directory of the polling engine that's managing that node.

This may be the same issue that's described in the following threads. * Job Engine v2 Jobs Queued, value very high and not changing? * Job Scheduler v2: Results Notified Error

I noticed you have an additional polling engine. Can you try changing to a different poller and see if that allows you to add the node?

It sounds like this issue is not limited to only to a single server. You would need to create an alert for each node you would want this to occur on. In the alert action you would need to specify the component ID number of the service you wanted to restart. The monitored services state would be irrelevant, as the trigger…

Instead of groups you will probably want to use Custom Properties. This will allow you to define the email address within the Advacned Alert Manager trigger action dynamically using the Custom Property macro in the "To:" field.

How many elements do you plan to monitor?

This can be done using view limitations. You can edit the view you wish to filter by clicking "Customize Page" in the top right of the screen and filter the view by any of the properties listed when clicking the "Edit" button.

It looks like there may be an issue gathering data from the SQL Error Log, possibly because it's extremely large. Have you tried disabling this component and seeing if that resolves the issue?

I tested the command line filter using both WMI and RPC and both worked for me without issue. You may want to ensure the user account assigned to these component monitors has adequite permissions. If you need to use a non-admin account for monitoring with SAM we have a KB article that should help -> SolarWinds Knowledge…

The simplest way of doing this would be to create a group containing this application or the individual component monitors. Below I created a new group called "Windows Server 2003" which is tied to the default "Windows Server 2003-2008 Services and Counters" template in APM. When everything is up, the group status is "up".…

Something like this? Components Assigned to Node Filtered by Type

What kind of specifics are you looking for? We're 95% Avaya here.

Currently there are no multi-gauge summary resources in Orion. The Multi-Object chart resources were just recently added. If you'd like to request this as a feature I would recommend posting it in the Feature Request forum where we'll be able to track it properly.

Have you tried clicking the [+] to expand the query?

I would agree the problem sounds like an issue overwriting the object in the database. I recommend opening a case with support so we can gather some additional information and assist with troubleshooting.

I haven't configured SAM to monitor an Oracle RAC myself, but the following thread is the only related information I was able to find.Glenn Madison and simonp73 may have had some success getting this to work in their environment. * How to monitor an Oracle RAC setup
