Have you looked at the Application Templates below? * Microsoft .NET * Microsoft ASP.NET

A couple of things you should check. First ensure that the account your using to run the PowerShell script has permission to run the script you've created. If this is local powershell the best and easiest way is to login into the Orion server as that user and run the script. If the script runs fine as that user then the…

The following thread discusses this problem in more depth, as well as providing a simple solution. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster, Resource Failure count

Does the website show the correct status when you remove the Search String defined in the HTTP component monitor?

It sounds like the Report Scheduler is unable to authenticate to the Orion Server to capture the data because Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is enabled on the server. Disable ESC on the Orion Server and retry running the report through the Report Scheduler.

Have you tried creating the recording while logged into the machine running the WPM Recorder using a local user account? It might sound odd, but it's likely to create a more accurately representative recording as the worker processes the WPM Player runs under to play back the recorded transactions are local user accounts.

You don't happen to be out of database space do you? Also I would check your maintenance schedule. Seems like it might be maintenance related.

The polling timeout is configurable within the assigned application or template as seen below.

The number can be influenced by hardware specs but there is a law of diminishing returns. Throwing a 16 core, 64gb of ram monster at the SeUM player will not yield 10 times the number of simultaneous transactions it can perform. There are however different factors that contribute to this calculation. The most obvious being…

In case you have trouble visualizing the topology here's a quick Visio diagram.

Have you considered simplifying the alert to simply not trigger unless the task has been in a "Running" state for longer than 30min?

You should probably look at the POP3 Round Trip Email template that's included with SAM. It will send an email to your SMTP server and retrieve it using POP3, measuring how long it took for email message to make it through your email system.

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. If the question is which protocol will provide the greatest level of information for a Windows Server, the answer is WMI. SNMP somewhat limited but is excellent at traversing low bandwidth, high latency links.

1. It's possible to monitor an LOG file (.txt / .log) for specific keywords and define an alert action? Yes. See one (or both) of the following SAM application templates. * Log Parser (PowerShell) * Log Parser (Perl) 2. It's possible to scan specific exchange mailboxes (for SUBJECT) in our case an IT Alert mailbox? Not…

Where are you trying to use these macros? A screenshot would be helpful.

In theory this should be possible by altering the query to account for free volume space. Each database could be on a different volume, so you'll need to take this into account when adjusting the query. The following thread provides an example of what this might look like. How to calculate Free Disk space through any View…

Between the nested group and double "any not" you have have created a SQL paradox. I'm going to suggest you include the only other statuses you're not excluding in your example. E.G.

My upgrade from 8.5 to 8.5.1 went smoothly. No issues. I think what you're discovering is that no one starts a new thread to tell everyone how successful their installation was. Forums are usually the place where people post about their problems looking for help. I would wager that the overwhelming majority of people who…

Based on the data shown it appears that SQL may be installed on a 32bit operating system, or that you are using a 32bit version of SQL installed on a 64bit operating system.

Sounds like a sensitivity issue. I would recommend using baselined thresholds in conjunction with Sustained Thresholds.

This sounds like something that would be great if the whole community to vote on. I recommend posting this idea to the forum.

This normally occurs when the Orion Poller, and SQL database servers are in different time zones, or their clocks are not synchronized. I recommend looking at the date/time settings of both Orion and SQL database servers to ensure their time and timezone settings are in sync.

Once you've identified the credentials getting locked out you can use the following reports to identify where those credentials are being used. * Credentials Used By APM Component Monitors * Credentials Used By WMI Nodes

Offhand I can't say for sure, but if I had to guess it's because the components you're referencing above are related to a sub-object of the application rather than the application itself. E.G. a website or database rather than IIS or the MSSQL application. Just a theory. Either way, it sounds like a bug. Have you opened a…

You're not doing anything out of the ordinary, and in theory this should work as you have implemented without issue. Based on a passing glance of the screenshots you provided above, the problem appears isolated to mount points. I would recommend opening a case with support so we can determine the cause of the issue, as I…

Thank you for the suggestions. We're currently looking into all of these items, but which of these features ultimately make it into the product will be determined by customers like yourself. I encouraging others who are looking for these features chime in here and let us know which of these features are important to you in…

What template, and which component within the template are you referring to? It sounds like you are either using the "DHCP User Experience Monitor" template, or the "Windows DHCP Server" template. We'll also need to know which component is causing the notifications and if they're hard failures (down), or if the thresholds…

Almost forgot, I have the additional web server option and haven't installed any hot fixes on that machine yet. The map displays perfectly from the additional web server machine, but not from my recently hot fixed main Orion server.

The template included in SAM was designed for Cisco CallManager 6.x. A newer template is available below, but this one has only been tested against CallManager v8.x. * Cisco CallManager Services for CUCM v.8

Hyper-V does indeed require the node to be manage by Orion via WMI. If you need to maintain SNMP monitoring for this server it is recommended that you add another node in orion via one of the other interfaces on the server and managed via SNMP. Another option is to monitor these metrics via Windows Performance Counters.
