The issue you describe is usually limited to situations where the player is overloaded and the scheduled job never gets an opportunity to play because it expires in the queue and moved to the back of the line. Pressing the "Play Now" button forces the transaction to the front of the line and is played back immediately. A…

Have you looked at the following application template?

I would recommend at least 2GB of RAM. I'm not running Cirrus, but I have NPM SL2000 with NTA and APM and here's my memory breakdown. 22MB IIS 36MB SolarWinds Alerting Engine 11MB SolarWinds Application Monitor 57MB SolarWinds Custom MIB Poller 336MB SolarWinds NetFlow Service 77MB SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor…

If the child is still reachable then yes, it will continue to be polled and status will reflect appropriately within the Orion console. "Unreachable" is a state substitute for "Down" when the parent goes down and the child is also "Down". If the Child remains up, Orion shows it as such.

Why not use the native Application Detail view for this SQL instance?

You will need to ensure that WBEM providers are installed as part of the HP Insight Manager. This is an optional component of the Insight Manager Agent that is required for SAM's Hardware Health Monitoring. Below is a link to the WBEM providers for WIndows 2012, but you can search the HPE site for other versions and…

I wouldn't go so far as to say this isn't possible, but it would require some fairly significant alterations to the template to support dynamic volumes, and then you would likely need to get the script output manually for each assignment of the template to the node. One of the script gurus in the Script Lab may be able to…

Can you try the following OID's instead? It's difficult to tell without a MIB walk what the problem might be. Also is this node managed through an additional polling engine by chance? If so, this error is typically resolved by following the steps outlined in this KB article -> SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: SAM Features for…

It sounds like you are using the Oracle client installer from Oracle's website, which is certainly an option. I would however suggest trying the Oracle client that's available for download through your SolarWinds Customer Portal instead.

You would need a product such as Database Performance Analyzer to identify the specific queries that are causing full scans.

Likely the best way to glean insight into the health of VSS is via the Windows Event Log. I would suggest creating an Application Template using the Windows Event Log Monitor for the entries listed in the following KB article. * Volume Shadow Copy Service Operations

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I believe the leaderboard is broken and is not accurately reflecting people's points or position. See the following thread for more details. What's up with the Leader boards?

Hardware Health monitoring for routers, switches, is one item I believe the NPM team is considering for a future release. I would recommend posting this feature request in the NPM Feature Request Forum which is moderated by the NPM Product Manager.

PowerShell 2.0 Remoting Requirements To enable PowerShell remoting, all computers participating in remote management should have the following software: • Windows PowerShell 2.0 • NET framework 2.0 SP1 or later • Windows Remote Management (WinRM) 2.0 All of the above are installed by default on Windows 7 and Windows Server…

How is this node being managed in Orion? Is it SNMP or WMI? Has this volume changed in any way? Such as using diskpart.exe, or is the volume being shared across multiple servers in a cluster and moved between those hosts?

Technically AppInsight for SQL does not support monitoring Clusters with the Agent.

Have you installed Orion Platform 2015.1.2 HF4? If not I would suggest doing so. This can be downloaded from your Customer Portal.

I would ask the Exchange guy what tipped him off to the fact that the OAB wasn't generating properly? I would suspect he likely found an error in the Windows Event Log. I would then create a Windows Event Log Monitor to watch for that event and alert me when it occurs again. Conversely you can monitor the Windows Event Log…

Are you currently monitoring those queues with SAM?

Any alert can be logged to the Orion event log as part of the trigger action of the alert as defined within the Advanced Alert Manager. See pictured below.

Are you trying to monitor a log file that resides on the Orion server itself?

The critical status means that the pool member cannot host High Availability resources, but it's still in communication with the rest of HA pool. This could mean that some services on that Polling Engine aren't running or that there is a problem with RabbitMQ on your main Orion server. Just a theory and not a definitive…

Azure SQL DB support has been officially added to the Orion Platform. You can learn more about this deployment option at the link below: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-204353#jive_content_id_Azure_SQL_DB_Support

The error you're receiving is because the SMTP mail server you're using to send your alerts to is not configured to accept mail from your Orion server. You'll most likely need to configure your SMTP server to accept mail from your Orion server's IP address. You should be able to duplicate this error by telneting from your…

When using the Report Writer you will need to create a new report of the "APM: Historical - Statistic of Multiple Value Components" type, as seen below.

I agree with Bronx that before opening a case with support I would recommend upgrading to SAM 5.0.1, which should be available though your customer portal. Also, how are these nodes managed? Are these WMI managed nodes or are these managed via SNMP?

This is a bit of a philosophical question. I would contend that the answer is "it depends". Depending upon what function the server is performing, who has access it the server, and what type of information is being stored on the server each play a role in determining if antivirus is appropriate for the server. File Servers…

In the example you provided above, the only way you should receive that error message if you applied the File Count template to a node and chose to use "Inherit Windows Credentials from node", instead of specifying specific windows credentials for the monitor to use. In this case, because the node is managed via SNMP,…

I probably should have created this as a poll. As such, I've done so here >

Hovering over the object should show you what is contributing to the child status state. Can you post of a screenshot of what is shown when you hover over the node?
