Can you provide others in the community with more details that may be helpful, such as the operating system these processes are running under? Also, how long do these processes typically run for? If these processes run for seconds or only a minute or two, a typical polling interval may not be sufficient for catching the…

You should probably start by copying the default out-of-the-box "Alert me when a node goes down" and add the following minor tweaks

This is a standard feature of SecureCRT

The Following APM templates should allow you to alert on a cluster failover. Microsoft Cluster 2008 (Event Log) Microsoft Cluster 2008 R2 (Event Log)

Based on the screenshot provided, it appears the issue is that you're running SAM 5.5, not SAM 6.0.x. The web based report writer was included as part of SAM 6.0.

500MB does seem unusually large, but the amount of memory the Windows agent consumes varies depending on what's being monitored, how much, and how often. My own Windows server is monitoring AppInsight for IIS, Asset Inventory, Interfaces, Volumes, CPU, Memory, and all other node related stuff and is consistently hovering…

A far simpler method would be to use AppInsight for SQL.

Is that the entirety of your script? It appears you are missing a proper exit code, which may be contributing to the issue. At the very minimum you would need to add "exit 0;" to the end of that script. Scripts Must Report Status Through Exit Codes Scripts must report their status by exiting with the appropriate exit code:…

Have you tried creating your own application template? Getting started is easy as adding the Tivoli server as a node and using the Real-Time Process Explorer or Service Control Manager and selecting the processes & services you'd like to monitor. From there you can start getting more creative, but that's an excellent…

Much appreciated.. Thank you.

Because Orion runs as the local system account and not a domain user account, it is not possible for the Orion server to utilize per-user proxy settings typically configured at the domain level. System based proxy settings are typically configured on the local Orion server only, mitigating the need to make domain policy…

Please ensure you are running SAM 6.2.1, or preferably SAM 6.2.2. More importantly however, ensure that you've installed Orion Core 2015.1.2 Hot Fix 5 from your Customer Portal, as many bugs related to the new web based alert manager have been addressed with those releases.

Not at this time, though we are tracking this as a feature request internally as FB193077.

This is a fairly common problem that's not terribly well documented. MAPI Profiles created manually or automatically are created in the context of the user whose credentials have been defined as part of the component monitor. If you've assigned the "John Doe" credentials to this MAPI User Experience Monitor then John Doe…

All ports are listed in the following PDF document. http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/SolarWindsPortRequirements.pdf

Monitoring a Windows 7, Vista or XP machine is really no different from monitoring a Windows Server 2003/2008 host. You can monitor volumes/interfaces/CPU/memory via SNMP, and even processes, services, Windows Performance Counters and WMI objects as well. When dealing with WMI you may have some permissions issues you may…

I've used this template before. Do you have a specific question you'd like to ask regarding this template?

You could try to change the following line: Connect-VIServer ${ip} -WarningAction 0 To: Connect-VIServer -Credential ${CREDENTIAL} ${ip} -WarningAction 0 In this case credentials may provide access to system with adequate permissions to connect. You may also want to try playing with –User and –Password arguments.

Have you seen the new group availability resource in NPM 12.3?

Some, but not all of this information is available in SAM's SQL Reporting Services templates. SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services SQL Server 2008-2012 Reporting Services (Events)

Additional pollers are universal, no differently than your primary poller. With that being said when you installed your primary poller you likely installed NPM first and then SAM on top of it. Additional Pollers work the same way. Once you install the Additional Poller you will need to also install the additional module…

The File Count Monitor in SAM v5.0 does not currently support filtering by file name, only by extension. I've logged this as a feature request under FB160993.

I did some looking around on the Barracuda website but there's nary a mention of MIBs for the Barracuda Web Filter. While the device appears to support standard SNMP MIBs, I'll assume you're looking for Web Filtering specific information from your Barracuda? Have you tried contacting Barracuda support?

Issue/question: is it normal that the SAM agent shows an excessively high response time? The same node I might see a 50ms ping is going to show me 1000+ms via the agent. This is a known issue related to passive agents (tracked internally under FB403838) and is slated to be addressed in the forthcoming SAM 6.2.1 Service…

What do you mean exactly by "Manual Polling"?

This is precisely the information that the out of the box Application Availability Reports provide. Here is a link to our online demo server that shows what this report might look like.

This response time measurement is how long it takes the query configured within each configured component monitor to complete. This number will be essentially identical if you copy the query from the component and paste it into the query window of the SQL Management Studio. Five seconds pretty on par for a SQL Server…

Have you tried using the Directory Size Monitor on that host?

It's likely that you may have a hung SWJobEngineWorker2.exe tasks which cannot access the C:\Windows\Temp folder. This may be caused by McAfee or other 3rd party antivirus solutions. Would you be able to stop the Orion Services with the Orion Service Manager found at Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Orion Service…

Have you verified the Trigger action is using the new macro/variable format introduced with the new Web Based Alert Manager? If the alert is still configured to use the older ${Caption} format and not the new ${N=SwisEntity;M=Caption}, that may explain why it's not working as expected.
