You could always install the self-signed certificate into the trusted CA's on your local machine. If you have a PKI you can distribute your CA's public key via active directory. These are all valid options but the easiest thing to do would be to get yourself a $99.00 certificate from DigiCert and call it a day.…

Have you considered using Syslog or SNMP Traps to monitor these conditions? I'll assume you have a recovery condition defined on the switch so those interfaces should return to a forwarding state automatically after a period of time, so this is likely more about identifying recurring trends?

It's not easily possible to relate a Windows Event Log Monitor to a node in such a way that would make this generic enough to be applicable to any node. You could have a whole host of Windows Event Log Monitors associated with a Node, so it would be impossible to know which to associate with the node down alert. This could…

I concur with designerfx​'s assessment. It would also be good to know if this is for data related to a specific entity type or if the same problem occurs across any type or entity. Note that database performance is the obvious first place to check, but it could also be related to memory pressure on the Orion server. These…

Currently it's not possible to monitor these custom event logs with SAM using the Windows Event Log Monitor due to limitations with WMI. However, you may find other Event Log monitors created by members of the community that may work with these custom logs such as the one below. While these types of events may not be…

mharvey​, we are tracking this issue internally under case CORE-9517 and hope to have a resolution soon.

The template would need to be copied/duplicated and the perl script altered to gather information from those other Apache instances. The port in the template is the SSH port used to connect to the Linux/Unix host. It is not the TCP port the Apache web server is listening on.

Based on the error message being returned it appears that the query is being deadlocked, meaning the database table being queried is being locked by another process, preventing the query from completing. This normally occurs when the table is being updated/written to where the SQL "NOLOCK" statement isn't included in the…

Where and how are you trying to use this custom property? Is it within the subject line or body of an email notification?

3. After database is created and an account is created to manage that database, then no more SA privileges needed for Database Manager, and software upgrades. Wasn't this addressed in 8.5?

The error you're receiving is due most likely to a credential failure. Have you tried modifying the credentials used in APM and including the domain name in the username field? Such as "domain\username"? If that doesn't work, can you connect to these Exchange servers natively using Outlook from the APM server without RPC…

It's not possible today to create a new Application Template in SAM through SWIS. The template must already exist. Then it can be assigned to a node using SWIS. The following thread is an example of how the various SAM specific SWIS verbs can be used with PowerShell.

We haven't heard of any issues from other customers experiencing this problem, nor can we think of any reason why this would be occurring. If you don't receive any advice from this community I would recommend contacting Symantec support or starting a similar thread in the Symantec forum.

By default all users have the ability to view all monitored applications. You can optionally allow them access to the Real-Time Event Log Viewer, Real-Time Process Explorer, and even the Service Control Manager. There is also a SAM Admin Role which allows users to assign and modify application templates without them being…

On the Trigger Condition tab of your Advanced Alert the "Type of Property to Monitor" must be of type "APM-Monitor" for the monitor name variable to work correctly. I believe you currently have your Monitor Type set to "APM-Application" in your Advanced Alert.

Any chance of getting you to post a screenshot?

The error you posted typically appears when there is an inconsistency in the High Availability and Engines tables. I would suggest verifying that all information in the HA_PoolMembers tables are correct. If it is not, then update the tables with the correct information.

AppInsight for IIS, which is part of the SAM 6.2 beta, includes native Application Pool monitoring and the ability to restart application pools from within the new web based alert manager.

This would be done using the Advanced Alert Manager using the Execute and External Program action with a trigger condition of when that AppPool does down.

Nice video. Very helpful. If I understand your issue correctly, you've added additional component monitors that you'd like to see charts added to the Application Details view. It would seem you added these component monitors at the Application/Node level, and not at the template level. This is the reason it's not available…

* Please open a case with support regarding this issue and post your case number here. * Also attach a SolarWinds Diagnostic too if possible to the case via Email or LeapFile. * I'll also be contacting you offline to schedule a time for someone from the development team to take a closer look at what's going on. * If you…

There is not a default out-of-the-box resource for messages received by mailbox, but you could create one using the Custom Table Resource.

EDIT : I'm an Idiot... needed to restart to get path changes to stick You're not an idiot. That's an easy step to overlook. I'm glad you got it working.

If you are not reliant upon this service then you can safely disable the monitor of it within the template.

Based on the error it would appear there is an issue with Connection Pooling, though it's difficult to say for certain without looking through diagnostics. Can you please go through all enabled alerts in the Advanced Alert Manager and ensure that none of your alerts are using a wildcard as shown below? This is indicative…

Thresholds are based solely upon the application vendor's best practices. Microsoft in particular tends to have a ideological perspective when it comes to defining these "Best Practice" thresholds, which is in part one of the reasons why we developed the Threshold Baseline Calculator. As for additional details on…

You can certainly execute a script or external program as part of any alert action today using the Advanced Alert Manager. Was there something more specific you were looking for?

Any idea if the Application Monitor add-on for Solarwinds will be compatible with v8 when it is released or will we have to wait for a new version?
