Removal of an application template from a node will indeed delete any/all historical data related to that monitored application. Modifications to the template or assigned application however will not cause you to lose historical data, provided you do not delete or disable component monitors.

This is not as of yet possible with Orion. This procedure is depenedant on SNMP SET commands. Orion, even with the custom MIB poller is limited to SNMP GET. Prehaps you should be looking at Solarwinds Cirrus. www.solarwinds.net/.../index.aspx

This was done intentionally because the Orion server does not know the FQDN of the machine it resides on and the IP address is commonly not useful to customers where NAT is being used. To use to ${ScreenshotUrl} macro you'll want to prepend your FQDN or routeable IP address to the macro. For example:…

Is the default gateway the ASA itself?

What you're seeing is a generic Windows error message that's returned from the operating system that Orion is installed on when a TCP or UDP port is currently in use. In this case it would be either UDP port 67 or 68. I would suggest trying to reboot the Orion server to see if this resolves the issue. If it does not please…

Are you saying that you want to correlate successive events across 8 different physical or virtual windows servers? While you can sum/total this number across these servers using the Multiple Object Chart resource. However, if you need to alert on Windows events correlated across multiple Windows servers the only way this…

Yes. This is a very common configuration for evaluating SolarWinds products. When running the installer you will want to select the "Advanced" option if you plan to utilize your own instance of Microsoft SQL. Otherwise if the the quick evaluation option in the installer is chosen it will utilize a local installation of SQL…

The most obvious things to look at first are firewalls, router access control lists, IDS/IPS or any other packet filtering software or hardware between the Orion server and the VMware guests that might be blocking the RPC protocol. The next thing to validate are the credentials. Can you map a drive from the Orion server to…

PowerShell 2.0 must be installed on the Orion server and the Domain Controller. WinRM must also be configured on both the Orion server, as well as the Domain Controller being monitored. To configure WinRM once PowerShell 2.0 is installed follow the steps outlined below: Configuring Windows Remote Management (WinRM) * If…

Is this a commercial application or something internally developed? On both the Windows/Unix servers I would recommend enabling SNMP and running the "Find Processes, Services, and Windows Performance Counters Wizard to create a custom application template. If your Unix team needs specific performance metrics you'll want to…

As the Product Manager for the Orion SCOM Management Pack I can tell you that we have a fair number of customers with significantly larger deployments of Orion using the SCOM Management Pack to satisfy the very same use case you describe with great success. In the only scenario I've seen to date where scale/size has been…

select * from AlertDefinitionsView WHERE TriggerQuery LIKE '%CustomPropertyName%'

You can use the Service Control Manager to select the services you want to monitor on this server. You could also utilize the SharePoint templates included with the product. * SharePoint Server 2013

Thanks for the feedback gatherworks. I've heard this mentioned a few times before by other customers. We're currently tracking this feature request internally as FB87982. Other Thwackers are encouraged to chime in as well if you'd like to see similar functionality added to APM.

Node CPU information is collected only once every 10 minutes by default. Setting an alert delay for 15 minutes means that it's still only getting a single polled value (sample) and needlessly waiting an additional 5 minutes to send the notification. If you set the delay for 21 minutes you should have at least 2 samples…

APM Windows Performance Counters do not support RegEx. However, you could in theory accomplish this using a Windows or PowerShell Script monitor.

Have you tried creating your own application template? You can start with the Component Monitor Wizard under [Settings - SAM Settings - Component Monitor Wizard] to monitor processes, services, performance counters, etc associated with the application. I also suggest adding a POP3, IMAP4. MAPI, or Exchange Web Services…

Isn't MUMPS a programing language?

You shouldn't need Outlook or any client software from Vodafone. If your trying to use TAP (Dial-up/Modem SMS) then all you need is a modem connected to your NotePager machine and the Vodafone TAP number which you will find here. http://www.notepage.net/tap-phone-numbers-u.htm

Is it possible these are drops by the firewall? I've seen similar behavior on ASAs and Windows servers that have some 3rd party packet filter driver installed for firewall/IPS. E.G. traffic that doesn't meet the firewall policy rules, and therefore is dropped by the firewall.

Neither SAM nor NPM support the monitoring of SANs. NPM does however support monitoring of fibre channel switches, but not the array itself. Storage monitoring is actually handled by our Storage Manager product.

Have you tried using HTTP and/or HTTPS User Experience Monitors? There's probably no better way to measure web server performance and availability than synthetic end user experience monitoring.

Two factor authentication can be used with Orion by configuring IIS to use Windows Integrated Authentication. IIS then handles all authentication aspects of Orion, allowing for things such as token based authentication, biometric scanners, or smartcards.

Using the Linux Memory Template you can get very granular about which Linux memory metric(s) you want to alert upon simply by defining the threshold.

What is the error you're seeing in the component monitor details view for these WMI monitors? Is there a domain trust between the Orion server and the domain of the remote host you're looking to monitor? Have you tried using the "SQL Server 2005-2008 Performance (SQL)" template instead of the "SQL Server 2005-2008…

The problem you're likely trying to solve is whether the delay is caused by network latency or the application itself (Remote Desktop in this case). For that I would recommend installing a QoE Packet Analysis sensor on the terminal server your users are connecting to and monitoring the RDP traffic. This will provide…

What kind of AP is it? Can you do a MIB walk of the device and post the results?

At present you can only unmanage a node. You can't unmanage interfaces, volumes, or applications. I've been hoping for something like this in the future but so far no luck. There is also no method of monitoring an interface that is down without turning the status indicator to red. This is frequently asked by people who…

In the Orion System Manager right click on the node you would like to unmanage and select "Node Details". Click the "UnManage on the right and enter a date/time you would like the node unmanaged until.

It appears you are missing the "libwww-perl" perl module on that server. To install libwww perl module follow the steps below on the server being monitored. wget https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/archive/6.06.tar.gztar xvzf 6.06.tar.gzcd 6.06.tar.gzperl Makefile.PLmakemake install The run the libwww-perl module.…
