It sounds like what you're looking for is sustained conditional alerting. I've logged this as a feature request internally under FB259515/ This is possible to do today through the Advanced Alert Manager. It will not however effect the events resource. Only the Trigger Action as defined within the alert, as configured…

Is this all one Trigger condition defined within the same Alert? Could you provide a screenshot of the trigger condition as defined?

Windows Query Language does not support "If", "Then", "Else", type logic operations. You would need to wrap this in vbscript or PowerShell to have that level of flexibility.

The CPU load shown for processes is the average between pools, not the actual value at the time of the poll. This may explain the discrepancy you are seeing.

* Is these hosts running VMware or Hyper-V? If VMware, is this information being polled through the vCenter or directly from each ESX host? * Are the VMs themselves managed nodes in Orion, and if so how are those nodes managed? SNMP, WMI and Agents or just ICMP? * Any any hosts of virtual machines duplicated in your…

This is what the Trigger Reset Action tab is for when configuring the alert. The Trigger Action tab is where you define actions to take when the trigger condition is met. The Reset Action tab is where you define what action to take when the trigger condition is no longer true.

I know the drill. I opened case #73039 and uploaded a Solarwinds Diagnostic via LeapFile. With luck this will turn out to be something simple and stupid.

By default the baseline threshold calculator uses the last seven days of collected statistic values to determine what is "normal" using mathematical standard deviation calculations. You could dump the collected statistical information into Excel and run similar formulas yourself, but the Baseline Calculator simplifies this…

Such a report is available out-of-the-box with SAM 6.0 as part of the Asset Inventory feature.

Does "Orion NPM" mean the entire package or NPM and SQL or or just the Orion NPM part. This is confusing as the previous sentence says: This means just NPM. is it necessary to have a dedicated NIC for Orion NPM or is this only necessary if SQL is running on a VM server If running NPM under VMWare, you should dedicate a…

These statistics are collected directly from the host themselves and there is no difference in these values metrics or meaning depending if they're from a physical server or a virtual one. Memory in a virtual machine is more dynamic true, but when memory is paged to disk it's written to the VMDK file no differently than it…

The script as written does not appear to need remote execution. I would recommend changing the PowerShell settings to their default, copy/paste the script into the script body, getting the script output and see if that works. It did for me. If it doesn't, take a screenshot of the script output, both from within SAM and…

Was one of the four SQL instances you were monitoring with AppInsight for SQL the SQL instance that Orion itself is using? While I have not seen or heard of any similarly reported issues, I'm trying to determine what the correlation is between the Orion web interface performance and the monitoring of AppInsight for SQL. I…

The only option I can think of with APM 4.2 would be to make them Orion administrators with account restrictions based on specified application/s. This may not be ideal for your environment so we've addresses this in the next version by creating an APM admin role that functions independent of the Orion Administrator…

should have a Glassfish template posted early next week that includes memory usage statistics. It will be made available in the Content Exchange. 

 If you have or need a UPS at those remote sites APC has a relatively low cost solution for monitoring your UPS as well as ambient temperature/humidity using the Smart Slot found on almost all APC SmartUPS. http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP9619 We are monitoring many of these AP9619 using…

SAM 6.0 (currently available in RC) now includes user auditing. You can sign-up here to download and try it out yourself.

That's very bizarre behavior. Have you tried re-running the website portion of the configuration wizard? If that doesn't resolve the issue I recommend opening a case with support. This is not a known or common issue. 

It all comes down to how the node is being managed in Orion. For Microsoft Hyper-V the node must be added/managed via WMI, providing Windows credentials for the node when adding it you will have the option to select "Hyper-V" from the list of available resources as pictured below. For VMware ESX/ESXi/vCenter nodes, you…

None that have been officially developed by SolarWinds, though it's theoretically possible to create one yourself using the Orion SDK.

The ability to monitor highly available Exchange 2010/2013 Database Availability Groups (DAG) is natively included as part of AppInsight for Exchange, which is available in the SAM 6.1 release, currently in beta.

Typically we recommend to customers to monitor the full application template on the cluster VIP node. Then monitor the common components usually found "up" on a passive cluster member on both server nodes by their physical IP address. This provides you application visibility into how the active server is running (via the…

You should configure SAM's HTTP/HTTPS User Experience Monitor to use the URL of the redirected login, rather than the root level URL. Based upon the packet capture image shared, you could also point at '${IP}/shared/images/login.jpg' and that should work.

There are several different implementations of CIM. The CIM standard simply defines how data should be structured, not how it is accessed. For example, WMI is Microsoft's implementation of CIM, which is based on DCOM. VMware on the other hand has their own CIM implementation based on HTTP/XML. I'm not sure what…

Simply open the Web Based Alert Manager [Settings -> Manage Alerts] search for the alert (I searched for "capacity"), then click the "Enabled (On/Off)" from "ON" to "OFF" for the "Alert me when memory has less than 60 days of capacity left" alert.

Not exactly as you describe but such a scenario the Capacity Forecasting alerts would indicate a looming issue prior to it impacting service, such as the default out-of-the-box 'Alert me when volume has less than 60 days of capacity left'.

I can honestly say I haven't personally seen this issue before. Out of curiosity how is this node managed SNMP or WMI? Is this a Windows or Linux node?

You can use these Universal Device Pollers in the Content Exchange Zone for monitoring the hardware health of your HP servers.

VMware does funny things with memory. If you look at what SAM is showing you it will mirror what the operating system is reporting if you were to log into the console and open Task Manager or PerfMon.exe. What VMAN is showing is the amount of non-shared memory the virtual machine is consuming. VMware magic can actually…

What happens when you try to browse for those performance counters using the Component Monitor Wizard located under [Settings - SAM Settings]? Are you able to see any performance counters? Also, are you running any Orion additional pollers in your environment?
