Have the blade servers themselves been added to Orion as managed nodes?

That depends heavily upon the following setting. If the setting is configured for anything other than "Based on Event Count" then thresholds are not used.

Most of the Cisco Call Manager templates in the Content Exchange use SNMP for monitoring. Is your Call Manager managed as an SNMP node in Orion? If so, are any items listed when you click "List Resources" from the Node Details page for that node? The following link should provide some guidance on enabling and configuring…

I believe this issue is covered in the following thread. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster, Resource Failure count

SAM 6.0 is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, however monitoring of Hyper-V on Windows 2012 R2 is not supported until the release of SAM 6.0.1. Migrating to a new server is a fairly straightforward process that's outlined in detail in the following "Orion Server Migration" document. Essentially you'll reclaim/deactivate…

SAM's Linux/Unix script monitors function as you describe, as each individual component can utilize a different set of credentials. We do however have a Linux Agent which is available as part of the SAM 6.3 beta. This Linux agent functions very differently from SAM's agentless polling methods and should not generate the…

I think you meant to say SNMP is deprecated, not PowerShell. As for PowerShell version compatibility, we have tested SAM against all current versions of PowerShell, including PowerShell v5.0. We are not aware of any issues with any version of PowerShell and SAM's PowerShell Script Monitor.

All alert configuration has been migrated to the Orion web interface.

Yes, in both scenarios the connection is being initiated from the SAM server. If you have an Additional Poller in the DMZ then the connection could be initiated from that additional poller instead. Another option is as you describe above, leveraging a proxy server in the DMZ and configuring the SAM component monitor to…

Have you considered using the Oracle User Experience Monitor?

What this error is saying is that this node is an ICMP only node, and not managed via SNMP in Orion NPM. Please double check that you're able to perform a "list resources" on this node and the nodes interfaces and volumes are properly listed in the results. If the node is unquestionably managed via SNMP and is not…

I'm not sure I've seen that error, but it's likely that you just need to enable the Domino SNMP Agent. Directions on how to enable the Domino SNMP Agent are available at the link below.…

What are you using to monitor the log file? Can you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing to provide additional context?

I believe the following alert trigger condition would satisfy your requirements. If you wanted to narrow this down to a specific user you could add the "User Name" to the trigger condition as well.

Great feedback! Thank you for sharing. I'm sure this will help save others from some of the frustration you've endured.

You can upload templates directly to Thwack from within the product provided your Orion server has access to the internet. The "Export as File" automatically downloads when complete. Often this can be confusing as some browsers don't show this download occuring within the browser itself, but rather in the download manager.…

If there is the presence of a specific word or phrase which only occurs when there is something of merit in the RSS feed, then this could be accomplished using SAM's HTTP/HTTPS User Experience Monitors. You would then configure them to point to your RSS feed and look for the presence of that word or phrase.

Provided you are alerting off of the application property and not the component property, then you should only receive on notification when the application is down, regardless of the number of processes/services/etc. that are contained within the assigned application. The maco you reference above should contain a listing…

This is actually a fairly common use case for the Additional Web Server.

Sounds like we need a SWUG London DanielleH​!

Unfortunately that is not how Network Sonar Discovery works today. There is only one scheduled discovery results repository, and the results from the last scan always overwrite the previous scan results. So if you built three distinct scheduled discoveries "A", "B", and "C", and ran them in that order, you would only ever…

When you updated the credentials did you click the "test" button to ensure they passed?

I believe this is discussed in some detail in the following thread. Orion Job Engine v2: Jobs Lost and Job Scheduler v2: Results Notified Error monitors are incremental :-(

Looking through the notes for case #617859 it sounds like your issue was related to application custom properties, and was resolved by support. Is that correct?

You mean something like this? HTTP/S Block Check

SAM 6.2 (currently in beta) includes a new optional agent that can be deployed onto servers outside your firewall, in the DMZ, or in the cloud. SAM 6.2 Beta - Because sometimes you feel like a nut - Part 1 SAM 6.2 Beta - Because Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut - Part 2 SAM 6.2 Beta - Because Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut -…

Is the server hosted infrastructure (Amazon EC2/Rackspace/etc.), or is this a server accessible across a WAN link or VPN tunnel? The term "external" can mean different things to different people. If it's a internet infrastructure as a service solution (Amazon EC2/Rackspace/etc.) I'd recommend monitoring the host via SNMP…

Since the local administrator account seems to work, but the named service account you are using doesn't, it would appear this is a permissions based issue. I would suggest going through the following KB article for creating a non-admin user account and configuring the permissions appropriately. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base…

How many of those nodes are sending syslog messages and how often? I don't think Orion displays a MPS (Messages Per Second) anywhere "but should". You could try reducing the amount of of syslog messages being sent, or drop extraneous messages at the syslog server with a filter rule. This should reduce the number of syslog…

Currently there are no out of the box alert macros for Asset Inventory information, but you should be able to write your own macros using a properly crafted SQL query in the ${SQL:SELECT blah WHERE blah} format.
