The following Nagios plugin could be used with SAM's Nagios Script Monitor, or be used as an example for creating your own. If you need assistance creating your own script monitors there are scripting gurus that frequent the Script Lab who are always eager to lend a hand. * check_time_ping - Nagios Exchange

R2 is not required, or implied required to be supported. I'm running 9.5.1 on straight Windows Server 2003 (Not R2) with no issues.

This appears to be a bug. I have logged this internally as such under case SAM-2692.

There have been several customers who've used the Orion SDK/API to unmanage nodes when they reboot, and re-manage them when they come back online using shutdown/startup scripts.

Is the Node being reported down, or is an application being monitored on that node reporting its status as "down"? Posting a screenshot of the Events for this node and the availability chart would be very helpful.

Have you tried running the script outside of SAM? What you're describing sounds like it may be a bug in PowerShell when piping output to a file. PowerShell.exe doesn’t return correct exit codes when using the -File option. | Microsoft Connect‌ Powershell.exe does not set an exit code when -File is used. | Microsoft Connect

There is an out of the box alert labeled "Alert me when a node reboots" that is already pre-configured for this very use case.

Can you provide a screenshot by chance? I'm not seeing this behavior myself, but based on what you're describing it sound like you may have a custom monitored application named "SAM Service" that is going into some other state other than "up", then returning back to an "up" state.

The alert as you have it defined should work fine. You can test this by defining the threshold for one of your certificate monitors to exceed the warning or critical threshold levels. E.G. warning of 400 days or something to that effect just to test/validate the alert is working properly. I also like to provide more…

Without a MIB walk from the device it's hard to say for sure, but doing this completely blind I would say you would need to create a new SNMP Monitor for the OID "1.3.6.1.4.1.29462.10.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1193.1.1" and assign it to the Stulz GmbH Klimatechnik WIB 8000 node in Orion.

Network Performace Monitor does not yet support custom MIBs. The word is that this will be supported in a future release, but for now you are out of luck. Engineers Edition supports custom MIBs if that helps.

The error is stating that you are attempting to use a Windows credential (domain\username) with SQL authentication. Depending how your SQL server is configured you are either using local, application specific SQL user accounts, or you are using Windows user accounts to manage your SQL server instance. Your SQL server may…

If you can provide details on what information about the PGP certificate you'd like to monitor, along with how that information can be retrieved (what commands need to be executed and what the output looks like) I'm sure one of the gurus in the Script Lab would be able to assist you in creating a SAM Linux/Unix script…

When adding the user to Orion you must provide Domain Administrator (or equivalent) credentials for searching the domain to find the user. Then you type in the name of the user you're looking for below that. Both must be in domain\username format. If you're not returning any results (you can try simply "domain\" for a…

Yes, this can be done on the Exchange Summary view using the Custom Table resource.

All of the following application templates include information regarding heap size. * Java Application Server (JMX) * Oracle WebLogic (JMX) * IBM WebSphere (JMX) * GlassFish (JMX) * Java Virtual Machine (JMX) * Apache Tomcat

What version of SAM are you running? Where are you seeing this error (please provide a screenshot)? Are the nodes where these applications are assigned managed by an Additional Polling Engine?

Depending on what and how you're trying to monitor you may be able to get away with just SNMP. This doesn't require any special administrative permissions to the host. Just a simple community string and you can monitor processes running on the host. Unfortunately due to the secure nature of the Windows operating system,…

This is the SSL Certificate Expiration Date Monitor which can be added to virtually any application template.

This looks great. Exactly what I'm looking for, but the trouble is I can't seem to make it work. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. This is what I get with wget C:\Program Files\Support Tools>wget localhost/.../solarwinds.asp --11:32:25-- localhost:80/.../solarwinds.asp => `solarwinds.asp' Connecting to…

Please re-run the Configuration Wizard. If that does not resolve the issue I recommend opening a case with support.

The SAM 5.2 release requires that both send (SMTP) and receive (POP3/IMAP4/MAPI) use the same credentials. SAM 5.5, currently in Release Candidate allows you to define separate, unique credentials for sending email that are independent of the email receive credentials.

Orion Platform 2018.2 HotFix 2 is now available for download through the Customer Portal. Please update this thread if this addresses your issue.

Have you installed HP's System Insight Manager Agent software onto the server? Without that, you won't be able to gather Hardware Health information from the server. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Latest required software used to monitor hardware health.

FYI: Uninstalling NFA does not clear the data in the database. If your database is full you'll need to truncate the NetFlow tables to clear the data. From Mark Wiggans: Go to the database manager, right click on the Flowstats table, select query table, select refresh. From there change the radial dial from Read-only to…

Not at this time. Forced polling is only available on a per-application basis and cannot be done in bulk through the web interface.

I suggest using the Component Monitor Wizard located under [Settings -> SAM Settings -> Component Monitor Wizard -> Windows Service Monitor]. From there select the server and the services you wish to monitor. This can also be done using the Windows Service Control Manager located from the "Node Details" view of the Citrix…

Yikes! You never mentioned running NetFlow Analyzer. Did you check the size of your database? SQL Express is limited to 4GB. Once you hit that limit the database no longer accepts writes and lots of really strange things start happening to Orion. This is also true if you run out of disk space, but I don't think this is the…

If you can it would probably be a good idea to reinstall on another server, or rebuild the one you have with a clean install of Windows Server 2003 with all the appropriate windows updates. You will need to make sure that you have .NET 2.0 installed for Orion to work properly. There are no known bugs that could explain the…

Are there any firewalls between the Orion server and these hosts? What OS is the server running (version & service pack). Also, are these servers local, or are they being polled across the WAN?
