I believe the alert macro you are looking for is "${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.WindowsEventMessages}"

As you referenced below, the Universal Device Poller below could be converted manually to a SAM Application Template. Is there a particular reason why you prefer an application template over a UnDP, or do you not own NPM? * IronPort

What is causing the mail database from being in an faulted state? It's currently not possible to exclude database from monitoring within AppInsight for Exchange, but you can write your alerting trigger conditions to exclude specific mailbox databases and/or remove any and all thresholds from a specific mailbox database so…

If you're just trying to monitor that the front Orion login page is returned properly I would suggest using the search term "Orion Platform" or "User name", though "SolarWinds Worldwide" or "Password" would be equally as effective. Alternatively, I prefer using the HTTP Form Login Monitor with my Orion credentials to not…

SAM's File and Directory monitors do not as yet support date/time macros. I would recommend posting this as in the SAM ideas forum here on Thwack. This will also allow the Thwack community to vote on this idea.

Provided the Alert Property is defined as "Component" try using either of the following macros. ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.ComponentMessage} ${N=SwisEntity;M=MultipleStatisticData.StringData}

Active User Count is indeed a valid counter for Exchange 2010. The following blog posting outlines how to repair the performance counters on Exchange 2010 * How to unload/reload performance counters on Exchange 2010 - Mike Lagase - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

The issue with the IBM server not showing all hardware information via SNMP could be that the SNMP agent on that server needs to be restarted. This is a common and well known problem with IBM's Director agent software. If that doesn't resolve the issue you can try uninstalling the IBM Director Agent, as well as the…

I agree that it's disappointing that the graphs don't auto scale like they do in MRTG. Currently the only way I know to scale the graph to see utilization detail on under utilized links is to modify the transmit and receive bandwidth under the interface details for the node in System Manager. It's far from elegant but it…

Does this report run sometimes but not always through the Orion Report Scheduler? Have you validated that you are passing the proper credentials? The fact that you're only seeing the login page makes me think there are no credentials defined. In addition to the login page are there any errors displayed? You may want to…

The best initial indicator of disk performance on a Windows host is obtained by using the “\Logical Disk(*)\Avg. sec/Read” and “\Logical Disk(*)\Avg. sec/Write” performance monitor counters. These performance monitor counters measure the amount of time that read and write operations take to respond to the operating system.…

You are correct. Bronx is looking into Read Me content for the hotfix and will revise accordingly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

You are likely receiving this message because of port restrictions. Can the main poller reach the scalability engines via WMI?

Are these additional RADIUS attributes? The RADIUS user experience monitor supports only PAP authentication so you may need to create a special RADIUS policy on your server specifically for APM.

We are currently working on developing a fix for this issue. If you open a support case for this, you will be notified as soon as the fix is available.

What you are seeing in the Real-Time Process Explorer is not stating that the "sqlservr.exe" process isn't running. What it's saying is that something related to AppInsight for SQL is currently down. The application status can be impacted by a wide variety of different components. In this case there is likely some other…

The following KB article should get you going in the right direction.. Which IP address is used as the source? - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

The links in Denny's post have been updated to their new locations. Refer to the original post to see the updated links.

Are there any firewalls or router ACLs that might be blocking the WMI communications from SAM to the Hyper-V hosts? Have you looked through our WMI Troubleshooting Guide? -> http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/apm/docs/APMWMITroubleshooting.pdf

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing on the Component Details view.

I believe the following KB article is what you're looking for. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: AppInsight for SQL: SQL clusters and the Agent

You can use the Custom Object Resource to add resources to different views. It's important to note that this is not dynamic and will appear for all nodes, not just the one you place it on. It's best suited for Summary Views rather than placing objects on Details views.

You'll need to set the NetFlow destination to be the external interface of your firewall, then create a firewall port forward for UDP port 2055 to forward to the machine where Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is installed. You'll still need add the router and monitor its interfaces with Orion NPM (Network Performance…

Please upgrade the version of the .NET Framework running on this host using Windows Update. That should resolve this error.

What version of SAM are you currently evaluating, and how are you monitoring the SQL server? E.G. Was it an option listed when you discovered the node, or did you go to manage templates and manually assign it to the node?

Storage Arrays should be monitored using Storage Manager. SAM itself includes no out-of-the-box ability for monitoring SANs. At best, if the device supports SNMP and you know the OIDs for the information you'd like to monitor, you could create SNMP Monitors in SAM. The same could be said for the Universal Device Poller in…

The Certificate Subject cannot automatically populate the component name, but you can rename the component to reflect the certificate Subject name and/or issuer information for the certificate that is being monitored.

You can create a new summary view or add to an existing summary view by adding the "Universal Device Poller Summary Status" Resource to the page from the "Summary Reports" resources section.

Asside from version number, have you found that the VMware vCenter Server 5.5 template does not work against your 6.0 vCenter?

It looks like you're polling a Windows Server via WMI but something is wrong with the WMI repository on that host. Either Dell OpenManage has been removed, is not functioning properly, or there is some other issue with WMI that requires a repair on that host. I would recommend uninstalling Dell OpenManage from that machine…
