I suggest trying to create a new application template based on one of those servers that isn't working using the Component Monitor Wizard and see if that yields different results.

Can you elaborate on exactly what you mean by "not working"? What is it exactly you're seeing? Also, please apply SAM 6.2.2 hotfix 2 which addresses an issue with the agent you may be experiencing. It can be downloaded from your Customer Portal.

Could you post a screenshot of the "Current Hardware Health" resource for one of the servers where you are seeing this issue with the hardware category that is in a "Critical" state fully expanded, along with a MIB walk from that device using this tool? Another option would be to open a case with support and provide the…

There is no hard coded limit to the number of component monitors you can add to an application template. I've personally created application templates that contain as many as 150 component monitors without issue. What is the error you're receiving when you try to add the 46 component? Is it at all possible you've exceeded…

You are correct. This seems to be a subtle misinterpretation of the instructions. Only an administrative user can grant or deny permissions to a non-administrative account. As such, you would need to login to the server as the Administrator to grant the user permissions to these services. It would likely make more sense…

There's no out-of-the-box resource that appears on the Node Details view that will show you which groups the node is a member of, but I was able to do this easily enough using the Report Writer, as shown below.

The best answer is to use an account with adequate permissions. It just so happens that the local Administrator is the only account in Windows that by default that has adequate permissions to query WMI objects or Windows Performance Counters. We do have a KB article that outlines the steps required to grant a…

The number or the actual emails themselves? What type of mail server is this mailbox hosted on? Is it IMAP4 or POP3 accessible?

NTA 4.4 is currently in beta and includes support for TLS 1.2. NetFlow Traffic Analyzer

Something like this? -> Software Inventory by Node

This information is available in the database. I posted some example reports in the Content Sharing Zone that should help get you started.

SolarWinds Orion is not a SNMP queriable application. It does not add MIBS to the windows SNMP agent. What might serve as a better alternative is to use SQL queries to the Orion database to determine node or interface status. In fact any information you can see in Orion can be accessed using basic SQL queries.

It sounds like this report might be what you're looking for. Component_Monitor_Threshold_Value_Report_(with_nulls).OrionReport

The following pre-configured out-of-the-box alerts should help notify you when Orion is no longer able to collect information from a node via SNMP.

If you're going to start with a new database then the installation of Orion will actually create the database, tables, etc. as well as the user account Orion will use for connecting to the database server. You need only provide the Configuration Wizard with an "sa" or equivalent account during installation and the…

This is the last time that alert was triggered.

Something like this? Directory Count Monitor If I had more time I would've used WMI so it wouldn't require WinRM for remote execution, but this was fast and easy. If you're not in the mood to configure WinRM on your remote host however, this can be used as-is with the Orion Agent. If you'd prefer something that works…

This is where you would use the DNS User Experience Monitor http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAPMAGTemplateDNSUserExperience.htm

I have logged the creation of an out-of-the-box Skype for Business template as a feature request internally under SAM-3839.

What is it about the mailbox stores specifically you'd like to monitor? Have you looked at any of the following application templates? Exchange 2010 Statistics with PowerShell Exchange 2010 Database Availability Group Our UX team is also looking for feedback on some mockups they've created for some potential improvements…

Please add me to the list of people very eager to begin beta testing this new application performance monitoring module for Orion. Thanks!

could I use the SMTP server that comes with IIS? Absolutely!

Applications are simply containers for a collection of individual component monitors. There is no dependency relationship (implicit or explicit) between components and applications. Applications have an implicit dependency on Nodes, such that if a node goes "down" any applications monitored on that node (and the components…

Thresholds tend to be instance specific once you get beyond the vendor's published recommended best practices. Unless we're talking about a large cluster of servers that are all doing the same type and amount of work it's very difficult to generically specify thresholds when server resources, workloads, and usage patterns…

In most cases the issue with SNMPv3 is related to the views allowed in the snmpd.conf file. Essentially the problem is that the SNMP user as defined is only allowed access to certain MIB/OIDs, and not other. ".1" should always be used as the included view. E.G. "view all included .1"

Custom Properties cannot be used in the URL of the HTTP or HTTPS User Experience Monitors. Only the following macros are supported. * ${Node.SysName} * ${Node.Caption} * ${Node.DNS} * ${Node.ID}

It's important to note that if items have already triggered, they will cause newly added or modified trigger actions to fire. The next item that matches the trigger action will then cause the trigger action to execute. Also, verify the alert has a trigger action defined to send an email. Not all of them do, and even then…

Can you provide more detail on your environment? Do you have any additional Web Servers? Is the SQL database server on the same machine as Orion, etc.

You may find the following chapter of the SAM Administrator's Guide helpful in helping you create new application templates. * Creating New Templates

HTTP User Experience Monitors show a status of up when the page is returned and matched content is found (if configured). A status of down is returned when either the content match configured is not found on the page, and/or the web server returns a hard error condition (4xx error code). The warning and critical statuses…
