  • I will need to defer to jvb​, as I am no longer the Product Manager for SAM. You may need to create a Custom SWQL Alert for information displayed in that resource.
  • Assign the template to the node where the log file resides. Assign the appropriate credentials needed to SSH into this host, run perl, and access the log file you want to monitor. Then configure the component settings command line arguments to specify the path and file name you want to monitor, as well as the keyword you…
  • chadsikorra​ the global setting overrides the local agent setting. If you have globally disabled automatic updating of the agents then none of the agents will automatically update, regardless of what the individual agent update setting is configured for.
  • You're likely encountering an issue where the query to the server is timing out before before the result is returned. For almost 2TB of data comprised of nearly two million files it might not be possible to query this information reliably via WMI. You may need to use a script monitor and have it run only once an hour with…
  • Try the following filter MachineType like 'Windows*' and Volumes.Caption<>'cached memory' and Volumes.VolumeType='Fixed Disk'
  • Hmm. You may want to consider opening a case with support. These events are generating fine for me in my lab running SAM 6.2.1.
  • husum182​, can you please open a case with support and reference this thread? We would like to review your diagnostics from that APE to determine what's going on. It may be something wrong with IPAM which is preventing the installation of hotfixes on your additional polling engine.
  • I believe pavel.grim‌ provided pretty compelling collateral for building a case against using auto-close. If you really wanted to measure the performance gains you would see from disabling this feature you would need to take a before/after snapshot from something like Database Performance Analyzer.
  • I retract my earlier statement. You are indeed correct that the users display name is not a selectable option in the Report Writer. This field is only available when creating a custom SWQL or SQL report as seen below. I will log this as a bug accordingly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
  • This is an internal number for tracking purposes. Feature requests that are assigned a tracking number are not guaranteed to be addressed in the next version. The internal number allows us to track the number of customers requesting the feature, as well as the severity.
  • The agents cannot be load balanced through a traditional load balancer. This is because the nodes themselves are tied to a specific engine. If you want to move Agents from one polling engine to another, you will need to do so either through the Orion web interface and assign the node to a different polling engine, via…
  • Yes, Patch Manager is a separate product designed specifically to perform inventory collection, software distribution, as well as Patch Management.
  • SQL Clusters in the AlwaysOn Availability group can be monitored by AppInsight for SQL, but no AlwaysOn specific metrics or health metrics are currently monitored. For those, you would need Database Performance Analyzer. About monitoring SQL Server Availability Groups - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support 
  • Nothing referenced here in this thread would prevent the server from joining the cluster.
  • I'd personally recommend using multi-edit in SAM to edit the templates themselves. This should significantly reduce the amount of manual labor involved. However, provided the SQL query is executed properly you should have no issues. As always, we suggest that you backup your database and shutdown the Orion services before…
  • alivcornelius, based on the screenshot you provided it appears you are several versions behind. I would say probably SAM 5.0 or possibly even APM 4.2. I recommend upgrading to the latest version, or at least a more current and supported version. In addition to receiving a tremendous amount of amazing improvements, it's…
  • Updated Alert definition for use with Orion's Web Based Alerting (older version attached above is for use with the legacy Win32 Advanced Alert Manager). The Batch file included in the Zip file attached above and BLAT are still required.
  • There has been some question as to the alert trigger action contained in this alert. It passes a UNC path variable to a batch file (treesize.bat) and tells it what volume on which server to run Treesize against. C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C C:\treesize.bat ${SQL:Select '\\' + n.IP_Address + '\' + (select…
  • The installer only allows users to install product module version combinations which are compatable with one another. As you can imagine, there are changes in an Orion Platform hotfix which break some modules. Those modules in turn have a release which address those breaking changes. This dependancy mapping ensures that…
  • jbrunke​ would you be able to collect Diagnostics from both members of the HA pool and upload them following the steps outlined in the KB article below. Be sure to add 'aLTeReGo' to the subject line and post back here once they've been uploaded so we can take a look at what's going on. How to gather and send a diagnostics…
  • To resolve the error " Website configuration failed: Failure updating ASP.NET script maps" Please follow the steps outlined in the KB article below. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: The Configuration Wizard says that website configuration has failed due to a failure updating ASP.NET script maps
  • Without looking through debug logs this is going to be very difficult to troubleshoot through the Forums. I suggest you open a case with support and reference this thread.
  • Salah Eddine ELMRABET wrote: Hi, Do you mean if nodes are configured to send to both physical IP, duplication will not occurs? and only in the case where VIP address is configured in additional on one or both physical then messages will be duplicated?? Yes, that is correct.
  • I'm not sure I understand the question. Provided the Dell OpenManage agent software is installed on your PowerEdge server and the node is managed via SNMP in Orion, this information will be available to you through the Orion web interface when Hardware Health and Asset Inventory is selected via List Resources for that node.
  • Variables are supported in the Connection String, but I don't believe they are supported in the actual SQL query itself.
  • I would recommend running IPSLA operations on that router and monitoring them with VNQM.
  • We've done some investigation internally and believe the issue is that the default configured NTP server defined in the template is blocking your connection intermittently. If you have many servers configured with this template than it's possible you are exceeding their maximum rate of querying once every 4 seconds on…
  • I'm afraid that would be very specific to a given ticketing system. If SysAid supports URL parameters passed in the URL you can use Orion Macros in the URL of the Custom Links resource. For instance. "http://sysaid.mydomain.ext/openticket?${Node.Caption}&$Node.IP}" In that example, clicking on the link would go to the…
  • Let's separate Windows Integrated Authentication from Active Directory Authentication. Authenticating to Orion using your Active Directory credentials is fairly straight forward. Ensure your Orion server is joined to the domain (member server), then go to [Settings - Manage Accounts]. Select the "Group" tab if you'd like…
  • Certificates are required only for secure PowerShell connections, no different then the Orion web interface.
