The new Web Based Report Writer introduced in SAM 6.0 and NPM 10.6 does not allow for SQL based reports. The closest/best equivalent would be Custom SWQL, which is based on the Orion SDK/API. Also,the sort order can only be defined in reports created in the Web Based Report Writer during report creation. There is no…

For whatever it's worth mine self corrects periodically and can't be forced by stopping/starting the services.

There is absolutely zero requirement for a load balancer an Active/Active pair. You need to think of an Active/Passive relationship as what happens when a member in a load balanced cluster fails. The only difference here is that's normal behavior for one member of the pool to be in a 'down' state. If they frontended two…

My recommendation would be to open a case with support, as this should work without issue in the version you are running.

Intermittent latency issues? Resource contention? I'm speculating as I've never seen the behavior your describing from any other customer. It might help to enable debug logging on this application template and submit diagnostics to support. They should be able to provide some better insight into what's going on.

I would recommend following the steps outlined in the following KB articles to see if this resolves your issue. It's likely a problem with the server not properly supporting SNMP GET-BULK. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Problems in SAM with SNMP Process Monitors failing * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: SNMP Monitor - Default…

After knocking this around with one of our developers there are a few things we'd suggest you try, or at least validate. 1) Double, then triple check your credentials. The user account being used should be Organization Manager with at least view-only permissions. 2) Database “Staff A-L”. Is this a standalone database (with…

How are/were you monitoring the status of your IIS application pools? I'm wondering because I'm currently tracking a feature request that would allow for monitoring of processes and services for performance information, without alerting upon the availability status of the process or service. This would be similar to the…

Orion relies upon the operating system and the SQL server to determine the protocol used. By default SQL favors TCP/IP over Named Pipes. Named pipes should provide performance at least equal to that of TCP/IP under LAN conditions. TCP/IP is however more network efficient (less bandwidth, less chatter) which makes it the…

Can you check the White Space on that database? If there is a lot of white space in the database it may have reach the warning or critical threshold for that value.

If the transaction fails only when assigned to a player then the issue may be related to the version of Internet Explorer or Operating System differences between where the transaction was recorded vs where it's being played back. I would recommend creating the recording on the same machine where it will be played back to…

Any particular reason you won't upgrade?

This error can be caused by the "net tcp port sharing service" not being started or is having problems. I recommend restarting this service and then restart all SolarWinds services to see if that resolves the issue. If that does not resolve the issue then you should try reinstalling/repairing the .NET framework. If neither…

When Configuring AppInsight for SQL you would point it at the name of the listener for the AlwaysOn cluster, no differently than you would an application that was using a database on the AlwaysOn cluster. 

Something is clearly wrong with discovery of that SQL instance. Have you ensured that the instance has TCP/IP enabled, possibly named pipes as well (though that's not required), and that the SQL browser service is started for that instance?

There's not exactly a log, but there is a view in the database called "Alert History" which should get you what you need. No need to turn on logging, it already does it by default.

You are correct. This macro currently only works for property type "APM:Application", not "APM:Component".

I believe the issue you're having is that events generated via alerts are not associated with any particular node or entity. The alert engine writing that event to the event log breaks that association. You could get around this by including the Node name to the event and then use 'Contains' in your report to find events…

@"pratikmehta003" wrote:@"aLTeReGo" not sure about the passive part.. it was working earlier and then suddenly stopped... Its a Linux box so dont get a option to run via browser... I suggestion was to go to the Orion server itself that the Agent is registered with (or trying to register with), open IE, and go to that URL.…

No, Orion cannot run off a read-only database. You can however backup your production database and restore it elsewhere and test the beta against that backup database.

Based on the errors being returned either SQL Analysis Services are not installed on the server the template is being applied to, or you are running a different version of SQL Analysis Services than the template supports. If you continue having difficulty with this application template then I recommend opening a case with…

I would recommend repairing the Performance Counters on that SQL 2012 host. * SQL Performance Counters are Missing | Microsoft Premier Support (PFE)

Is that the error you receive when you click the "Configure Server" button?

Release Candidate means early availability access to the latest release. The RC is still fully supported in your production environment.

Instead of executing an external program, have the alert write to a file the following output. This should help troubleshoot what is being passed to the command line and where potentially the problem lies. C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C D:\Treesize\treesize.bat ${SQL:Select '\\' + n.IP_Address + '\' + (select…

Have your tried changing your encryption method to 3DES to see if that works any better than AES with Orion?

Please verify the PowerShell virtual directory is set to the proper location in IIS. It should to be "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\PowerShell" not something like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\FrontEnd\HttpProxy\PowerShell" I would also suggest removing and recreating the…

The screenshot from List Resources that you posted tells me this is an Agent managed node.

Corrected above. Missing spaces between command line switches. However, at this point I would recommend opening case with support so they can assist you with the configuration of this template.

You would repair the SQL application no differently than any other, from within Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features) control panel.
