SeUM 2.0 is currently in Beta. Existing SeUM customers under Active Maintenance can sign-up here to download the beta. SolarWinds Orion SeUM 2.0 Beta Participation Survey

The following KB Articles should answer any questions you have regarding how the DNS update process works when a failover occurs. * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to Use the Orion Failover Engine Utility DNSUpdate.exe * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to Configure DNS with SolarWinds Orion Failover Engine in a WAN…

Much like SNMP managed nodes, how status is polled is configurable. By default status and response time polling occurs through the encrypted Agent communication channel. You can however utilize ICMP in instances where the Orion server can ping the endpoint directly.

SAM 6.0.1 (available for download now through your customer portal) includes the ability to exclude indexes based on size as pictured below.

That depends upon usage, but as a general rule of thumb it's best to have one processor and 2GB of RAM per-module installed.

If the node is managed via WMI then storage hardware health information will not be available for Dell PowerEdge servers. This is because Dell does not make that information available via WMI.

This feature has been implemented in SAM 5.5, currently in Release Candidate.

Processes are run in the context of the user that started them. Are you referring to Daemons?

The update to address the HP warranty issue is currently available in the SAM 6.0.1 Service Release. You may find this already provisioned to your Customer Portal. If it is not yet provisioned to your customer portal, you can contact support and they will provide you a direct link.

I'm not exactly sure from where you are quoting, but I assure you that doesn't sound at all like something I would say. I believe what you may be referring to is the SAM 6.3 beta currently underway, in which there are substantive improvements in the overall aesthetics of the Orion web interface but no functional…

This was implemented in the recently released SAM 5.2

This is already possible today when running Orion High Availability

The SAM 6.1 Release Candidate will not be provisioned to your customer portal. Once you sign-up you will instead receive an email from me that contains links to download the SAM 6.1 RC.

It sounds like at a minimum, you'd like Custom Properties to support carriage returns?

Create a report and add the availability resource. Then click "Edit Chart" Edit the setting to reflect the time range you wish to report upon Click "Submit" and view the result. The chart below is for a year but this application has only been monitored for a few months. That is why there is no chart data from Nov'13 -…

The slider determines how exact of a match the template needs to be in order to be applied. If you lower the slider from exact match it will apply the template on a partial match and automatically disable any components which will not work when the application template is applied.

It has received a radical overhaul. Syslogs & Traps are now fully integrated into Orion's Alert Manager, as well as having a totally revamped UI.

The SolarWinds engineering team has identified several critical issues with ServiceNow's London release which makes the Orion, and many other integration apps non-functional under some conditions. We have been in close contact with ServiceNow's engineering teams, which have verified the issues and are working to address…

It's similar, but not necessarily identical as it uses the new Cortex service in Orion rather than the Collector service.

Based on the thread below NPM v11 (currently in Release Candidate) includes support for SQL 2014. SAM will be following suit shortly. Server 2012 & SQL 2014

Have you upgraded to SAM 6.1.1? There were several issues addressed related to the "Configure Server" button in that release. Based hon the error returned though, it sounds as though the user account you provided credentials for does not have access to the administrative share on the Exchange server. E.G.…

Network Load Balancers are commonly used with a pool of Additional Web Servers.They cannot really be used with the main Orion poller since only one main Orion polled can be active at any given time. For high availability Orion instances you would need to utilize something like the Failover Engine.You could however load…

Have you tried using the Real-Time Process Explorer? It allows you to list all running processes on a host and select multiple to monitor using a similar wizard style process. The Windows Service Control Manager similarly lists all services on a host with the same "Start Monitoring" wizard. 

The same process can be followed for Additional Polling Engines but it might be easier to just create new ones and move your nodes over to them.

That's a question better suited for stevenwhunt​, who is the Product Manager for SAM. I'm just trying to help provide you with some potentially viable workarounds which might address this limitation. While less than ideal, you can assign the template to the Node, then edit the application and assign the certificate…

Are you able to try the online installer?

Thank god I made the cut.. I was getting worried.

Certificate based authentication support for HTTP/HTTPS user experience monitors is a separate feature we're tracking internally as FB184475
