Understood. As you've probably already discovered SeUM does not as yet support copy/past functionality in either the recorder or the player. I'll log this as a feature request but I'd still like to hear from others in the community who would also like to see this functionality added to the product and your associated use…

Let's start from a slight different angle. What is it you are monitoring on those Linux hosts today, and when someone tells you it's "down", what does that usually mean? Is the server truely down entirely? E.G. can't be pinged? Can't SSH into the system? or does it mean that a specific daemon has crashed?

Which SAP product/s and versions is your customer running? What specifically would they like to see monitored in those applications? What are they currently using to monitor their SAP environment? Lastly, what performance/health/availability metrics are they currently gathering from their existing solution?

SAM's Windows Scheduled Task Monitor will monitor all tasks within the root folder only. Any tasks you don't wish to be monitored should be moved to a subfolder under the root from within the Windows scheduled task manager.

Have you tried re-running the website portion of the configuration wizard?

WinRM should not be required. In fact it would likely cause more problems since Windows does not allow you to remote from machine "A" into machine "B" to then connect to machine "C". Only A->B connections are allowed. WIth that said, the PowerShell script should execute locally on the Orion server itself.

In the very early days of APM some duplicate templates were released; one using WMI and the other using SNMP. That wasn't to say that WMI was bad, rather way back then APM's implementation of WMI was a little immature and somewhat unreliable under certain circumstances. Back then APM was only available as an add-on module…

It's recommending a negative value because the default operator of this component is "Less Than". If it was changed to "Greater Than" you would see positive integers.

iSeries servers need an SNMP provider to be monitored by Orion. The one most customers use is Comtek > COMTEK AS/400 OS/400 SNMP agent system management details

The following query should get you pointed in the right direction. Simply replace "LDAP Bind Time" with the name of your component SELECT TOP 10000 APM_StatisticsUsage.AvgStatisticData AS Statistic_Data FROM APM_AlertsAndReportsData INNER JOIN APM_StatisticsUsage ON (APM_AlertsAndReportsData.ComponentId =…

Mike Driskell is correct, however I'm curious if you're primarily interested in collecting performance information from the scheduled running task, or if you're more interested in knowing if the task ran successfully?

Have you tried rebuilding the performance counters by running "lodctr /r" on the SQL server? If you are receiving this error it means that those metrics aren't available for that database, but they should be. Is there anything special about this database? E.G. is it dismounted? Is its compatibility level set to SQL 2000 or…

Can you open Task Manager on the Orion Server and see how many instances of Powershell.exe are running? If memory serves, Windows has a limit on the number of concurrent powershell processes can be executed simultaneously on a host. Off the top of my head I believe that limit is 16 by default. It may be that you have hung…

Could the DNS server be running on a different port or blocked by the Firewall? Perhaps only DNS over UDP is allowed but not DNS over TCP?

The Advanced Alert Manager will return gigabytes, terabytes, etc. in bytes. In your example above you would set the value in the trigger condition to "less than 10000000000" (bytes) for 10GB, or 5000000000 (bytes) for 5GB.

I believe the following thread should resolve your issue. * Virtualization Manager integration with SAM

Internet Explorer is not an application, and as such is not listed in Add/Remove Programs in Windows. Each version of IE is tracked by Microsoft as a hotfix that can be reported in SAM's Asset Inventory under "Operating System Updates Applied" as shown below. Clicking on KB2841134 in the "Operating System Updates Applied…

I believe what you are asking is discussed at some length in the following thread. * Application custom properties in advanced alerts

I posted the following template that should allow you to easily report/alert on how long a Windows host has been up without a reboot. * Node Up Time

"Application Name" or "Description" fields can be used in the alert criteria and are configurable within the template itself. Those are the only configurable application fields which are definable at the template level that can be alerted upon.

You could do this as a custom SQL report added to the view, or maybe even a Custom Query resource. If you need assistance with the query, I recommend posting to the Report Lab where the thwack community SQL gurus commonly frequent.

It looks like the server may have been unreachable during this time, or potentially the poller was overloaded. The poller being overloaded however seems far less likely based on the screenshots provided. Normally when that occurs there are much smaller gaps in the charts, as polling is occurring but not on it's normal…

All of my services start just fine, as I stated above I have .NET Framework 2.0 installed and my server has access to the internet. I added the host file entries just to see if that helped and it did not. What I am experiencing is that the Advanced Alerting Engine works when it wants. Some days it works GREAT and others it…

Is that to say you should uninstall .NET Framework 1.1 if it is installed? You should be able to have both 1.1 and 2.0 installed on the same machine but could this explain some of my problems? I have both 1.1 and 2.0 of the .NET Framework installed on my Orion server currently. quote:Originally posted by…

Have you tried re-running the Configuration Wizard?

Welcome to my hell... If you’re really having the exact same problem as me you'll find that it works on some days, but not for others. I haven't been able to find a reason why but when it works, it works great, and when it doesn't there is no reason why that I can find but it eventually starts working again. If you manage…

The best and easiest way to be notified when SNMP is no longer functioning is to create an alert for when a volume or interface goes into an "Unknown" state. I generally add an additional requirement to the alert that the condition must exist for longer than 30min to eliminate false positives attributed to reboots and…

AppInsight for Exchange Monitors this information for you already out-of-the-box. There are even pre-built out-of-the-box alerts configured for you in the Advanced Alert Manager for space/size issues related to Exchange

This could be done using either a Windows Script or PowerShell Script monitors * VBScript (FTP) Get Number of FIles in Directory, not including sub-directories * PowerShell (FTP) Get Number of FIles in Directory, not including sub-directories
