There is no way within the product today for drives to be named simply buy their drive letter and not include the label without editing the volume name and removing the volume label manually as you're already are doing. Volume thresholds for linear gauges on the Orion web console can be changed globally by going to…

The "Alert me when a node reboots" Alert works on the SNMP uptime counter. This counter is reset to 0 triggering an alert when the server is rebooted, or when the SNMP service is restarted.

The Web Based Alert Manager supports impersonation for executing external applications and scripts using elevated privileges. There should no longer be any need to run the alerting under another user account like there was with the legacy Win32 Advanced Alert Manager.

I raised this as a feature request during the Orion 8 beta. It's being taken into consideration.

bobross is correct. This is precisely a problem our Synthetic End User Monitor (SeUM) was designed to solve. I would recommend downloading it and giving it a try.

Can I safely assume this is an ESX server?

In addition to the UnDP that Byron suggested, NCM and Patch Manager both provide basic software inventory reporting.

What in particular are you wanting to monitor with respect to SCSI or NFS?

A simple easy solution would be to add the write to a file trigger action to all your alerts, then open the file with notepad and see how many lines there are. A hack? Perhaps. Does it get the job done? Probably.

If you're querying the cluster then you must assign this component to the node that represents the cluster VIP. E.G. add a node to Orion using the IP address of the SQL cluster. This can be a WMI, SNMP or even an ICMP managed node. Then assign this application template to that node. It's very likely that SQL is bound only…

Please ensure that the credentials you specified include the domain name in "domain\username" format when using the domain administrator or equivalent domain account that's a member of the Domain Admins group.

Is there any way to detect and monitor this second instance (new PID #)? Thanks. All instances of a processes that match the process name as defined in the component monitor are monitored by default. If for example you create a process monitor for notepad.exe and you have three instances of notepad running on the server,…

Is it possible that your user account permissions [Settings -> Manage Accounts] are not configured to allow you access to the Service Control Manager?

Sounds like you may be encountering the following issue. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Problems in SAM with SNMP Process Monitors failing

, thank you for bringing this to our attention. While I haven't personally been able to reproduce this issue on my build we do have a similar issue we're tracking under FB250955 that's likely related. Thanks again and keep the bugs coming.

SAM does not support network interface monitoring via SNMP. So for interfaces on your switches/routers/firewalls you would need NPM. While it's certainly possible to gather most of this information via SAM's SNMP component monitor, it's likely not worth the effort. The overhead associated with managing and maintaining this…

This error has only once been reported by another user, but fortunately they were kind enough to share with us the steps they followed to ultimately resolved it. It turns out to have been a non-standard IIS setting. The PowerShell virtual directory had two settings that were not expected: 1. The PowerShell virtual…

Our user research revealed that not all component monitors are equal in the eyes of the user. That items more critical in nature, and which were more apt to accurately reflect the current state of the application (such as process, service, and user experience monitors) should be at the top of the list. While statistical…

Likely the best and easiest course of action would be to assign a Custom Property to those applications you want to delete. This will make sorting, selecting, and deleting those applications a far easier task. The Custom Property Editor allows you to easily import/export from Excel where you can cross correlate against the…

I would also recommend trying a different browser

Have you tried adding a custom property to those nodes you want to see in the tree and then use the view limitations available when you click "Customize Page"?

Correct. The Orion server itself must be a member of the domain you want to use AD authentication against. Orion uses native Active Directory authentication no different than what's used to login to the server itself using a domain account. Orion does not use LDAP, RADIUS, or TACACS+ for authentication to the web console.

#1 What timezone is the server in that is being monitored? #2 What timezone is the Orion server in?

Have you integrated the Virtual Appliance into Orion? Also, are you running Storage Manager (AKA: Storage Profiler) which typically runs on a separate server and a lightweight integration with Orion, or are you running the entirely new Storage Resource Monitor which is installed on the same machine as the rest of your…

It sounds as though you are using SNMPv3 and that the user you are authenticating with does not have permission to that view. It may also be that you are using SNMPv3 for the node monitoring, but have not properly configured SNMPv3 on the Java Application Server.

I'm not aware of any counter in Apache that tells you how many connections there currently are like there is in IIS. There's a few ways to get this information from a vbscript or powershell. The easiest would be using "netstat -an | find /c ":80"" to return a valid statistic for the number of connections open to port 80. 

Have you tried using the ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.StatusOrErrorDescription} macro?

Based on the error message above it sounds like you may have attempted to configure the server already using a different account that had permissions to access the server, but did not have permissions to Exchange. You will need to disconnect that connection on the Exchange server before different user credentials can be…

The Log Parser template supports only string matches and not complex regex pattern matching. The script could however be modified to support regex. Someone in the Script Lab may be able to get you pointed in the right direction.

Great question. I thought there was a standalone version of the NetFlow Analyzer but I'm not sure. Anyway why does NTA have to be on a separate machine from Orion? Is it performance, access or something else?
