Provided you know the total amount memory you can use the 'Convert Value' function to calculate the percentage using the following formula. Simply replace <TotalMem> with the actual total memory value. This would of course be applied to the 'Heap Memory Used Size' component. (${Statistic} / <TotalMem>)*100 Below is an…

This would be a function of Log & Event Manager rather than SAM.

Looks like you may not have clicked the "Get Script Output" button so the Script Monitor doesn't know what to do with the output yet.

The Bindings Monitor is a synthetic HTTP/S user experience monitor that is dynamically assigned based upon the binding settings (protocol & port) of the IIS website. It essentially makes web requests no differently than a user would using a web browser.

The following template could be adapted to include a time measurement value. If nothing else it should serve as a good starting point. Windows File Share Availability

There's a few different ways to handle this. First you can look for the reference to the image in the HTML using the "Search String" of the HTTP or HTTPS User Experience Monitors. The second option is to point the HTTP or HTTPS User Experience Monitor at the image itself. The last (and best) method is to use Web…

Not currently, but the next release will include real-time monitoring of managed and unmanaged processes that would include processes by CPU/Memory/Virtual Memory/Disk IO. We're about to release our first Beta if you'd like to participate.

I can't say I've ever seen this behavior with default polling. If you've adjusted the polling interval I'd recommend turning this back to default to see if that resolves the issue. Another possibility is latency issues if you're polling across a bandwidth contentious highly latent link. If this doesn't describe…

I believe the question you were asking is what ports need to be opened if there's a firewall between my primary Orion server and my additional poller, correct? The Additional poller will communicate directly with the SQL server over port 1433. You'll also want to ensure that the Primary Orion server and the additional…

Orion is not a software distribution or patch management solution. It is a network monitoring/alerting solution. Sounds like you want Microsoft Operations Manager, SMS, or Windows Server Update Services.

Honestly with todays gigabit ethernet networks there's likely no gain to be had from a dedicated network connection between the Orion server and the SQL database server. In most cases the I/O bottleneck is disk I/O on the SQL Server. That, or memory on the SQL database server.

This can be done via the Advanced Alert Manager. Below is an example PowerShell script that could be used. If you need specific step by step assistance for creating and executing the script I suggest posting a request to the Script Lab. * How can I stop/start IISADMIN with powershell - Stack Overflow

Critical processes not running will cause the application to be in a "Down" state. Also, critical Windows Event Log Messages related to the monitored SQL instance can also cause the application to appear to be in a "Down" state. Any/all collected metrics that have warning or critical thresholds that are exceeded will cause…

If you simply don't wish to be alerted on those components, simply remove the warning and critical threshold values. This is the functional equivalent to disabling components in AppInsight applications.

What's the message that's displayed in the orange "info" box next to the down service in the monitored application of APM?

The volumes are "Red" because they likely no longer exist. I would suggest deleting them from Manage Nodes as shown in your screenshot above, then re-adding them via List Resources.

I can't say I've seen this error before. Could this error be coming from the script you are executing? Does the same error persist when you use the following vbscript instead? WScript.Echo "Message: This is a test"WScript.Echo "Statistic: 1"WScript.Quit( 0 )

If the Job Scheduler Service is starting and stopping intermittently, it may be due to a corrupted or excessively large Job Engine database. The following procedure corrects this issue by replacing the corrupted Job Engine schedule data file and restarting related services. To replace a corrupted Job Engine schedule data…

Yes. SAM/APM includes a Directory Size monitor that provides precisely the functionality you describe.

What template/s in particular are you trying to configure? Are these out-of-the-box templates or ones you are creating yourself? The following excerpts from the Administrators Guide should get you pointed in the right direction for creating and customizing your own Linux/Unix/Nagios script monitors. * Creating a Windows…

This is a known VMware issue where they are not updating information published via their API properly. The workaround is simple enough. All you need to do is change the polling method from "Poll through vCenter" to "Poll ESX server directly" from [Settings -> Virtualization Settings -> VMware Settings]

I would recommend using the following application template and following the instructions referenced. * Apache ActiveMQ

Thanks for sharing netlogix. This looks like it would make a pretty cool report. Have you considered saving this as a report in Report Writer and posting it the Content Sharing Zone? I'm sure others in the community could really benefit from all your hard work. 

Hmm.. I can't say I've ever seen this occur. I do find this interesting as even SCOM Monitors this metric for Exchange 2007-2010, but I can't argue with that KB article. My suggestion If this is occurring in your environment is to remove the warning and critical thresholds entirely to ensure you aren't alerted. Thank you…

The action you are using in the screenshot above will write an event to the Windows Event Log of the Orion server, not the Orion Events in the Orion web interface.

Not natively, but you could probably modify the Log Parser template that's included with SAM to include this capability. If you're not comfortable scripting yourself you can probably find some help from some of our Thwack Script Gurus in the .

This is actually very common. Once HP's System Insight Manager Agent is installed on the server the only thing you need to do is define a trap destination in the Windows SNMP service to point to your Orion APM server. Configuring the SNMP trap destination on Windows 2003/2008 1. Select Start→Settings→Control…

Could you provide a more detailed explanation of what you're trying to achieve? I'm not quite following you. What do you mean exactly by "show a instant users of windows"? I can tell you that APM v4.0.2 does not currently support displaying information in table form. However, this is something we're currently working on…

It sounds like you may be encountering a known issue with the new Web Based Alert Manager in SAM 6.2. Please open a case with support. They should be able to provide you with a fix.
