Not out-of-the-box using SAM's SSL Certificate Date Expiration Monitor, though this would make an excellent feature request. You may however be able to accomplish something similar using one of the following templates. * SSL Cert Expiration.apm-template * TLS/MTLS certificate expiration monitor * PowerShell Monitor -…

SAM doesn't make a good file repository, but you could in theory upload the documents to the same inetpub directory in IIS that Orion uses and reference them through the custom links resource. 

The following existing reports should get you started and pointed in the right direction. * APM Component Monitors Whose Credentials are not Inherited from the Original Template * APM Component Monitors that are not Inheriting from their Original Template * Component_Monitor_Threshold_Value_Report_(with_nulls).OrionReport…

SAM's Postfix template uses SSH, not SNMP to gather its metrics. When assigning the template to the node you will prompted to provide SSH root level credentials to the server being monitored for this template to function properly. My guess is that you chose the option to inherit the credentials from the template. The…

I believe the following KB article is what you're looking for. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to Access Thwack Templates through Proxy

Do you mean Exchange 2013 or 2010? You stated "Exchange 2012" above which confused me, and Exchange 2013 is commonly deployed on Windows 2012, which is why I didn't just assume Exchange 2013. If you are running Exchange 2013 with Cumilitive Update 6 or greater you may be encountering an issue discussed in the following…

Instead of monitoring the PID I would monitor the Elapsed Time the process has been running and alert when it's less than 5 minutes. This would then let you know if a process recovered from a failure.

Thanks JWERLEIN for your contribution. I'm sure this will save others in the community a lot of time and unneeded frustration.

Currently the Alert Manager's "Send a GET or POST request to a web server" alert action does not support authentication. I have logged this as a feature request internally under CORE-4308. In the meantime you could use the "Execute an external VB script" or "Execute an external program" alert actions and call your own…

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are tracking this internally under NPM-13561

Is image below the information you're trying to see? This can be seen when you add the vCenter as a VMWare node to NPM or APM. You can also use the Find Processes & Services in APM to list/display all VMWare Performance Counters available through the vCenter or for each individual ESX host.

We'll need to investigate this further but the expected behavior is if the TACACS+ server is unable to respond and not even listening on port 49 than the component monitor should be in a down state. 

We don't currently have a template for monitoring SCCM but we will be posting an official SCOM template soon. I've logged your request for a SCCM template internally under FB243191.

As adeimel suggested, the simple answer is yes.

Likely the best and easiest way would be using Web Performance Monitor (WPM).

Since you've already created the script to execute the action you're looking to monitor it would seem a fairly trivial task to format the output of the script into the proper format so SAM can correctly interpret the results. You'll simply need to pass the success or failure exit code which will determine if the component…

View limitations additive, not exclusionary. You can however use Groups or Custom Properties to define the criteria for these limitations in an easier to manage fashion.

Absolutely. The process is the same as creating an alert for any Syslog message. Go into the Syslog Viewer, click on "Alerts / Filter Rules" and create the criteria for the messages you wish to disregard. On the "Alert Actions" tab click "Add New Action" and select "Discard the Syslog Message".

I believe this is a bug in the "Add Node" wizard where SAM is unable to utilize the SNMP community string provided in the previous step when the "Test" button is pressed. The resulting error returned is "Incorrect SNMP settings. Community string is not valid". I've logged this bug internally under FB223961. In the meantime…

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 with no requirement to install and configure NET-SNMP. If you already own Server & Application Monitor and…

I have logged this internally as a feature request under CORE-1816.

Below is an example of how to alert on two "or" conditions. The Property being monitored in this example is "APM: Components". The condition reads, when either the "Submission Queue Length" or "Retry Mailbox Delivery Queue Length" are either "Warning" or "Critical" this alert will trigger. I wasn't able to find the counter…

Your best bet would be to trigger an alert when the total number of messages is over 15000 as you're doing now, but then define the Trigger Condition within the Advanced Alert Manager to execute a script that gathers the additional information you need as part of the alert. You can then populate that information into the…

That's fairly easy to do... Create a new Advanced Alert. On the "Trigger Condition" tab change "node" to "volume" so it reads "Trigger this alert for any volume that matches the following condition. Then make a new trigger condition similar to the following. Trigger this alert when all of the following apply Volume Percent…

There is no way to define trigger conditions on basic alerts. There also is no real way to test fire alerts from the Advanced Alerting Engine that I am aware of. You can however use the Advanced Alerting Engine to alert you to volume specific problems. Create a new advanced alert. Under the "Trigger Condition" you will see…

If you're running SAM 6.0.x and have Asset Inventory enabled, then the included out-of-the-box General Asset Inventory web based report has this information.

What is the error you're receiving when attempting to add the server via WMI to Orion?

What is the polling method for this Node? You can see this in the "Polling Details" resource on the Node Details view, labeled "Polling Method". Also, what is the trigger condition defined for the alert you're receiving? A screenshot would be helpful.

We've definitely heard this request before. It's something we're considering for another release of SEUM. Customer demand generally drives releases here at SolarWinds, so we'd love to hear from anyone who's looking for similar functionality. 

This should work fine, however the issue you're likely encountering is that the Advanced Alert Manager runs under the local system account, which has no permissions to access the network. Try changing the account the Advanced Alert Manager runs under to a local administrator account.Then restart the service and test to see…
