Did you try rebooting the server?

This has been a longtime frequent request. I'm in a Windows Mobile shop myself and though I can access Orion with my Smartphone just fine, it's cumbersome to navigate. I would also love to see an Orion for small screen sizes view.

What is the error returned by the component when it's in an "Unknown" state?

It is not possible today to programmatically update/change credentials in SAM's Credentials Library. I have however, logged this as a feature request internally under FB180071.

Since you have a second host header that uniquely identifies each host why not use a simple HTTP monitor with the appropriate FQDN using the host header? For example if the four servers have one host header in common such as www.mysite.com but each server also has a unique host header such as www1.mysite.com,…

Yes, raw memory usage metrics for a process is collected as part of SAM. You can alert upon this value using the Advanced Alert Manager as shown below.

Duplicate maps can occur when/if Network Atlas crashes. You should be able to delete the duplicates safely, but I would still recommend making a backup of the "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\SolarWinds\NetworkAtlas\Maps" directory first just to be on the safe side.

Is the node managed via SNMP?

Following from another thread, what is the reason you cannot add the node via SNMP or WMI? If you are using Windows Clustering for SQL then which protocol is used is irrelevant. As always you should use the VIP with SQL clusters and utilize "List Resources" for assigning the application to the node. Obviously you can't…

It looks like you many have a lot of ports open for a prolonged period of time. Decreasing timeout values could reduce the number of queued jobs and jet files but could ultimately result in more timeouts. I would not say that this is a indication of a problem with Orion, perhaps modifying the thresholds for these would be…

That is correct. In a worst case scenario where an application was just polled successfully and found to be in an up/running state, then immediately stopped right after being polled the process or service would not be polled again for another 5 minutes for status. You can of course adjust polling frequencies on an…

The OWA Login script can be downloaded through the content exchange at the links below * Exchange 2010-2013 OWA Form Login (PowerShell) * Exchange 2010 OWA Form Login (PowerShell)

Terrible, terrible things. The only protection mechanisms that exists are when the Configuration Wizard is run and it detects that it's not the owner of the database. If you proceed, that Orion instance will take ownership and the other instance will be rendered broken.

How about an SNMP enabler? A windows GUI client tool much like the NetFlow Configurator that would enable/configure SNMP across different device types like Windows, Linux, MacOS X Servers; as well as Cisco, HP, Juniper, 3Com, etc routers/switches.

One thing I haven't seen suggested is a more robust alerting system. For instance a definable alert escalation or only alert after "x". Two examples would be.. (Alert Escalation) If node goes down alert person #1, if the node remains down after "x" ammount of time, alert person #2. (Suppress Alert until X) We reboot…

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not possible for a 32bit operating system to address more than 4GB of memory. That may be what you're looking at in Perfmon and not the actual memory being used by SQL. If you want to be absolutely sure you can open up task manager on the SQL server and look for the…

MapMaker NEEDS an undo function. It would be nice if MapMaker saved a backup copy (.BAK) of the original when you save a map. It would be awsome if maps were stored in the SQL Database. It sucks when I create or modify maps on my local PC using the remote admin tool and then have to manually copy them to the server. Also a…

All SAM application data should be available without issue. Metrics from Virtualization Manager, Storage Resource Monitor, and Netflow Traffic Analyzer metrics are also fully supported. NPM's Universal Device Pollers are not as yet supported by PerfStack.

Can you provide additional information of what you're seeing, including screenshots?

Have you tried following the steps outlined in the following KB article? Failed to download or run the Scalability Engine installer from the main server - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Su…

This isn't possible today using the SQL User Experience Monitor but you'll probably be interested in checking out our AppInsight for SQL in the latest SAM 6.0 beta.

Since this question is related to Network Interfaces, I would recommend posting this in the NPM forum. APM does not collect network interface statistics. 

Monitoring a website every 5 seconds is extremely aggressive. Especially for user experience monitoring. However if you need to monitor this application more frequently you can always create multiple application templates for this web server, each with a 1 minute polling interval. The more you create, the more frequently…

Have you considered creating a custom group summary page with a view limitation based on Group Name Pattern or other similar group based view limitation?

Have you configured SNMP or JMX for monitoring the Java Application Server?

Your question is VERY vague. Are you looking to configure SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for pulling statistical data such as CPU, Network TX/RX information, or do you want to know how to configure SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending email notifications from your Orion server?

You can actually alert on free space available, used space, percent free, and percent available. You can even alert when a the amount of free space on a volume will be consumed in the next "X" days using the capacity analysis feature included in SAM 6.2.

Also, hardware alerts can be tested the same as any other alert in the Advanced Alert Manager. Select the alert you'd like tested, click the "Test" button, and select the node you'd like the alert tested against.
