Using SAM's Component Monitor Wizard, simply select the Service(s) you'd like monitored on the host as pictured below. Then enable the out-of-the-box alert "Restart a service"

TCP Port 13782 is used for bpcd (NetBackup client daemon. Enables the NetBackup clients and servers to accept requests from NetBackup servers.) and should be open and listening on the NetBackup client. You can confirm this by typing [netstat -an | find "13782"] at the command prompt where the client is installed. If port…

The error message (example below) that is returned as a result of the failing component monitor can be included as part of an alert using the ${StatusOrErrorDescription} macro. This should work for all HTTP errors thrown by the web server, such as 404 Not Found, 500 Internal Server Error, etc. If there's some specific text…

You will have to consult with the documentation that was provided by your server provider. In this case HP. I'm sure they provide documentation online which describes the trap definitions. In fact that is where I found the definition for the trap you provided previously.…

SAM's HTTP User Experience Monitor will return a status of "Down" for any hard error, like 4xx and 5xx errors. Web Performance Monitor provides more granular visibility into web site or web application availability, including all content on the page. Below is a small example of that.

I think the only way to get "plain English" verbiage in your trap email is to create an alert for each trap type and key in the verbiage that you want in the message. I don't know of any macros for MIB description Not to say there isn't one, but I don't know of any. If anyone knows of a MIB description macro that would…

Correct. AppInsight applications cannot be partially unlicensed. They're an all or nothing affair due to the nature of how they collect data differs significantly from traditional application templates.

To fix the "Connection Timeout Job Cancelled by scheduler" error I had to reboot the server being monitored. That seems to have fixed the problem.. Not sure why. I found the server in a pretty sad state anyway where the application that APM was monitoring was misbehaving. To fix the "Unexpected error occurred Generic…

This is what the SNMP trap means.

I'm not understanding how to parse this type of message into plain English. Can anyone help? 5/11/2007…

You need to install the HP Insight Management Agent for your appropriate operating system. You can download the HP Insight Manager Agent for Windows Server 2003 from here http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26963.html

Valid exit codes and their statuses are listed below. If your results differ I recommend testing some of the scripts included in APM to see if they work. If they too exhibit the same behavior as you're seeing above I recommend you open a case with support. If the out of the box scripts work, the problem is likely with your…

gle is correct about how the Web Link Monitor works in APM. What you're describing however sounds more like a job for SEUM. SEUM can provide distributed monitoring of your webservers and web based applications from different locations. SEUM will give you visibility into how those web applications are performing and their…

SAM is installed atop your existing Orion server. You should not need an additional polling engine unless you are already approaching a capacity limit on your existing server. The template you reference should suit your needs perfectly. Simply import it into SAM, assign it to your node(s), and adjust the path and…

How are the ESX being polled in Orion? Are you polling them directly or through the vCenter? Obviously Orion isn't doing any interpretation of results, but rather is reporting what is returned either via the CIM protocol (direct) or via the VMware API (vCenter).

Yes. I did forget to mention that Dell OpenManage must be installed on the server for this information to be available via SNMP. You will also need the appropriate HP equivalent on your HP servers for similar information to be accessible via SNMP.

I recommend you open a case with support. If you'd rather, you can first try and repair the job engine yourself by following the steps outlined below. This good first troubleshooting step that support may ask you to perform anyway. Please run the repairs below: How to Replace Job Engine 1. Stop all Orion services from…

Have you used the "Expensive Queries Info" property as shown below in the Advanced Alert Manager?

Out of curiosity, what is the operating system running on the host you're trying to monitor the running processes of? Also, is this node managed in NPM via SNMP or is this an ICMP only node? The simplest way to determine this quickly is when you select the node under Find Processes, Service and Performance Counters, is the…

12.1 does support Windows 2008, so you can install a new Additional Polling Engine for NPM 12.1 also on Server 2008.

This is really a job best suited for SeUM. APM can provide a basic level of website user experience only from the perspective of the Orion server but SeUM allows you to deploy a tiny Player agent to a remote host to see the true end users experience from that location. 

I can't say I've personally ever seen a flood of EventID 578 related to SAM polling, but it may be related to certain audit policies configured in your environment. WMI polling normally requires administrative privileges. This is simply because of how Microsoft has structured their security polices. Both local and domain…

After speaking to people regarding these servers, they have stated that this is a regular occurence and that they rectify themselves over a short amount of time (around 30 - 60 seconds). This is due to say SQL Processes running or large back ground processes. This may be the case for your environment but normally this is…

Do you have AppInsight for Exchange assigned to all Mailbox servers in the DAG? Also, how long has AppInsight for Exchange been assigned? The collection of individual user mailbox information is spread across a long period of time to limit any impact AppInsight for Exchange might have on the Exchange server. You may find…

You can use a Windows Script Monitor for this. It can be a short one, something like: strFolder = "\\computer\share" set objFSO = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")if objFSO.FolderExists(strFolder) then wscript.echo "Message: The folder exists" wscript.echo "Statistic: 1" else wscript.echo "Message: The folder does…

Instead of alerting on overall hardware health, why not instead alert on sensor types?

I have a domain admin account but still cannot access some of the Windows 2003-2008 template items when I test the connection. They are * Distributed Transaction Coordinator * Network Connections * Protected Storage * Remote Registry Are these services actually running on the server or are they stopped? What is the error…

Correct. This is what the ${GroupStatusRootCause} macro is for.
