Have you tried comparing PerfMon.exe over a long period of time (say an hour) to the values shown in PerfStack 2.0 Real-Time polling?

The credentials IPSLA needs are the username/password used to connect to the switch/router via Telnet/SSH

Provided you have NPM you can use the Universal Device Pollers I've created and posted here -> You can then use the Advanced Alert Manager macros to pass any information about the UnDP as part of the Alert.

You can re-download the latest version of these templates from the Thwack Content Exchange (links below) or re-run the Configuration Wizard on the server itself to restore any accidently deleted templates. * Active Directory 2008 R2 - 2012 Services and Counters * Windows Server 2008-2012 Domain Controller Security

Since this was configured as an alert, there's really no way to exclude this from appearing as an alert in Orion. You could however create an Alert Limitation so that these alerts are not visible to users within the Orion web interface.

SAM does not currently support the use of Macros in Windows Performance Counter monitors at this time. This sounds like a good candidate for the forum.

I think you need to point to the exact OID you are looking for information from and then do an SNMP GET, not the default "GET NEXT"

Certainly. You can create a subview on the Node Details view for virtually anything. Just click "Customize Page" in the top right of the "Node Details" view, click "Add tab". Then add whatever resources you would like to that newly created view.

I believe the following application template is what you're looking for.

What version of SQL are you monitoring with AppInsight? Can you try increasing the timeout value from 1200 to 2400? If that doesn't resolve the issue, does the error message change? Also, please try again using the "sa" credentials to eliminate any potential permissions issues. If it still doesn't work using the "sa"…

A basic SQL cluster or AlwaysOn Availability Group would be the recommended solution for high availability.

AppInsight for Exchange does not currently report on differential backups. Only Full and Incremental are supported at this time, though differential backup status is exposed via the Exchange API via the LastDifferentialBackup field. I have logged this as a feature request internally under SAM-3278.

I'm not aware of any way of suppressing an alert unless the same Windows Event ID is seen in the Windows Event log three times in one minute using APM's Event Log Monitor. However this is a fairly trivial task when using the Free Log Forwarder for Windows and a simple Syslog rule. Log Forwarder for Windows can be installed…

It sounds like what you're looking for is JSON/SOAP Monitoring?

This does indeed look like a bug. I've logged this internally as such under FB312180. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Just to verify, this is only affecting the UI and not the functionality of this component monitor, correct?

Have you tried creating Dynamic Groups? Dynamic Groups can be built on virtually any property, one of which is Custom Properties which can be imported/exported via text/excel/csv. * If you want to dynamically select group members based on shared properties, follow these steps: * Click Add dynamic query. * Type a name for…

What content are you trying to move from what view, and which view are you wanting to move it to? Orion is extremely flexible and customizable, so it's very likely possible.

Can you make the column width wider? You may be experiencing a visual UI bug as a result of the column width for that resource being too narrow.

I can't say I've personally done this myself, but it could be accomplished using SAM's script monitors. I would personally opt for VBScript, though PowerShell may be easier depending upon familiarity.

If this occurs again in the future, a less destructive method to resolving this issue that may work is to repair the Job Engine and Collector on the Orion server.

The following KB article outlines the steps required to configure SAM's Asset Inventory to use a proxy server. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Warranty Status in Asset Inventory is showing Unknown.

SAM does not support certificate based authentication. For websites and web based applications like the one you describe above I would recommend looking at Synthetic End User Monitor (SeUM) which does support client certificate authentication.

What script arguments are you referring to?

Provided you have the historical data within the database, meaning your retention settings are 365 days or longer, then I see no reason why you could not create such a report by specifying your start and end dates accordingly.

Yes, this is the default behavior of Groups. This is however configurable on a per-group basis within the Advanced Options.

What version of SAM are you running? Also, can you please post of a screenshot of exactly what you are seeing and where?

From the image you posted, the issue appears to be that only 77 of your 218 virtual machines are managed nodes in Orion. The 'Number of VMs' tally in the 'Virtual Center Details' resource is simply an aggregate of all virtual machines, regardless if they are managed in Orion or not.

Below will define three variables based on the arguments passed. The first being the directory <strDir> , the second the file <StrFile>, and the third the days old <StrDays>. Use these variables in place of their hard coded values in your script. Set lstArgs = WScript.Arguments If lstArgs.Count = 3 Then strDir = Trim(…

SAM already includes out-of-the-box alerts for notifying you when a monitored service is not running. This can be found under the "Advanced Alert Manager". To start monitoring services that are not already part of an existing application template, the easiest way is using the Service Control Manager.

This is possible. In fact this is precisely how FoE works when failing over. It updates the DNS server hostname to the node that's currently active. You would either need to write your own script (likely in PowerShell or vbscript) or use a 3rd party utility like the one included with FoE to perform the actual DNS update.…
