Orion can access the internet on-demand for things such as activating license keys, downloading SAM templates from Thwack, etc. Internet access is not required for Orion to function normally. Templates can be downloaded from Thwack manually and then uploaded to your Orion. There is also an offline license key activation…

I believe the following link might be what you're looking for https://solarwinds.github.io/OrionSDK/schema/Orion.APM.Application.html

Yes, that error is related specifically to Network Atlas and has no bearing or effect on Orion Maps.

Polling capacity is a combination of 'number of things polled' and 'how frequently those things are polled'. Provided your polling rates are not nearing 90ish percent and your polling completion rates remain near 99%, then you have additional capacity to monitor more things. Polling fewer things, or polling some items less…

@"lufffunk", what version(s) of the Orion Platform that EOC monitoring are those individual instances running?

If your DNS servers are Linux, then it's likely that they are running BIND. If there is a primary/replica relationship between the two servers, then you will want to ensure that HA is updating the primary. 'Azure DNS' is a SaaS DNS service that is completely separate and likely unrelated to your Linux DNS servers. 

Ensure you are executing the installer as an Administrator. Also, try running the installation again to see if it's reproducible. It could be that the files are simply locked. I would recommend shutting down and disabling all Orion services (except the administration service), reboot, and re-run the installation. 

* Is this for all nodes or just a select few? * How are those nodes polled? ICMP, SNMP, WMI, or Agent? * What happens when you click 'List Resources' or "Poll Now' on an affected node? * Is polling simply delayed or does it never resume after a reboot?

If the hostname and IP addresses remain the same on the new virtual machines, then there is no need to do anything other than the P2V migration. There are no known issues I'm aware of that would require you to deactivate and then reactivate your licenses for this process to complete successfully. 

You must have SNMP installed and configured properly prior to installing Server Administrator on the server. If you didn't you will probably have to re-install Server Administrator on each of the managed nodes that aren't working.

Services, Processes and Ports can all be monitored using APM (Application Performance Monitor). This is an add-on module to Orion.

Can Orion monitor servers with RAID configurations like 5 - 10 or 0+1? Yes Orion can monitor the status of RAID controllers and the health of physical disks if this information is available via SNMP. In our case we use Dell OpenManage Server Administrator that provides this information via SNMP. We then created custom MIB…

Delete Inetpub/Solarwinds/Orion/NetPerfMon/Resources/Misc/CustomHTML.ascx Deleted restart IIS Restarted remove the resource from the view Removed and re-add it Bingo! That fixed it... Thanks!!

This should get a lot better with Orion 9. And we'll support MIB Tables, which should open up other possible monitoring. Agreed, this is much better in v9.0 but you need to understand that clients that are using Wireless LAN Controllers tend to be large organizations with hundreds or even thousands of access points. They…

On a node details page? Yes sir

I would strongly encourage you to upgrade to SAM 5.0 to see if that resolves your issue. It's likely the issue you're encountering started occurring after your upgrade to NPM 10.2.

Given how unmanageable custom MIB pollers are for collecting all the information I need from my WLCs, I haven't bothered to create the several hundred I would like. What we really need is support in the Orion Wireless Monitor for Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers to provide a useful GUI to summarize all the useful wireless…

Boo!! I was really hoping that would resolve the issue. I guess we need to keep digging.

At worst, you can delete the out-of-the-box alert and upgrade to 6.2.1. The re-running of the Configuration Wizard will recreate the alert and return it to its default configuration.

Here is what I get

To help others better identify these kinds of issues we've developed the following Advanced Alert and Report for any application that has not been polled successfully in 5 scheduled polling intervals. Alert me when any application has not been updated for five polling Intervals (Advanced Alert) Applications Not Updated for…

This seems to be a common issue. * SQL SERVER – Performance Counter Missing: How to Get Them Back? | Journey to SQL Authority with Pinal Dave‌ * Performance counters missing for single database‌ It appears based on this thread that the issue was resolved for at least one person, after installing CU2 for SQL 2014. Since…

Yes, this is only on the main polling engine. I would however recommend upgrading to SAM 6.2.1 rather than applying the hotfix.

I appreciate your feedback, and I'm glad you managed to get this working finally. I however am still unable to get this to work properly, and I'm both unable and unwilling to install Outlook on the server. I know this works for some people, and doesn't for others. I'd love to know what's in common with the users this…

Thanks mdriskell for your contribution. I'm sure this will be a great help to others in the community!

One thing to note, aLTeReGo, is that you mentioned that the localsystem account doesn't have access to remote systems. This is true until you grant the localsystem account access to the remote systems. The localsystem account is just like a user account in that you can add it to groups and access lists. If you would add…

This doesn't appear to be resolved in 8.5.1. Am I doing something wrong?

meaning they likely still don't exist within Perfmon.exe. Out of general curiosity, what version of MSSQL are you seeing this problem with? Also what operating system version is MSSQL running on? Lastly, is there more than one SQL instance on this server, and if so is the other instance a different version of SQL? E.G. SQL…

The following instructions will manually fix the following alerts if you upgraded from SAM v6.2 RC1: - High CPU Utilization with Top 10 Processes - High Physical Memory Utilization with Top 10 Processes - High Virtual Memory Utilization with Top 10 Processes After installing Hotfix 1 in SAM v6.2 RTM, take the following…

Yes, this will work as well. The reason I didn't suggest changing the service account credentials is that I didn't think SolarWinds would support it. That's why I put the system account in a group that had access to all my servers. I also don't have to worry about managing passwords or account lock-outs. I believe I…
