You can define exclusions as part of the trigger condition in the Advanced Alert Manager based on Node, node type, etc. I'd still recommend looking at the Hardware Plug-in of the ESX server for more information regarding the error. The ESM logs of the server should also reveal some detail. It's likely that an error was…

Is it necessary to enter config mode for this command? It is normally executed from enable mode. No. You only need to be in "enable" mode to run this command. If you're in config mode you'll need to add the verb "do" before the commnad. For instance "do clear couters"

I have the "-2" condition for MS Cluster disks which don't show a size. This scenario is already covered by the volume size needing to be greater than 95, so this additional rule is unnecessary. I don't want low physical or virtual memory reported with my "disk space" checks, hence those lines. These volumes are already…

Correct. These counters were introduced in Windows Server 2008 and are supported through 2012R2.

it is, but you still need to pass an statistic value. That value can always be zero if you like, but a statistic is required in the output. Even if you decide not to use it for anything.

Can you open a PowerShell prompt on the endpoint where the Agent is installed, increase the window width to 200, and then run the following command and post the output? get-eventlog -logname application -source "SolarWinds Agent" -newest 100

SAM supports any version of PowerShell supported by the operating system it's installed on. PowerShell 2.0 is simply the minimum version that allows remote execution via WinRM.

The image above references the node polling cycle, not application polling. To modify the frequency in which applications are polled edit the assigned application for that node and change the "Polling Frequency" as pictured below. This can also be done at the template level.

Unfortunately Microsoft has announced end-of-life for SNMP on Windows and will likely no longer be including it in any future releases of Windows after Windows 2012 R2. WMI is Microsoft's current offering, which for Windows at least is vastly superior in almost every way to SNMP outside of performance.

It is not required between individual APEs in a pool, but it is required from each APE pool member to both main Orion servers if they're participating in an HA pool. If it's easier to understand excluding HA from the equation, all APE's must have this port open the main Orion server. if they're in an HA pool, then that…

What you describe is "Consecutive Polls", which is different than "X out of Y Polls" as described in this excerpt from my SAM 6.1 blog posting. Server & Application Monitor 6.1 - New Feature Overview and Beta Sign-Up Sustained conditions in SAM 6.1 can be defined independently for both warning and critical thresholds to…

The values are only populated by SQL after the agent job has finished executing and has completed. That may explain the delay. If you're looking for more in-depth real-time query analysis you may want to consider looking at Database Performance Analyzer.

SAM does not interact directly with the MegaRAID Storage Manager, but rather through the IBM Director, Dell OpenManage, or HP Insight Manager agent software. If the machine this controller is installed in is not an IBM X-Series, Dell PowerEdge, or HP Proliant series server, you will need to use either SAM's SNMP Monitor or…

These are named metrics from a pick-list but I see your point. If you had this alert applied to multiple servers the first metric may be true on one server, and the other metric true on the other. To narrow this down to the same instance you'd need to add something both metrics have in common such as the node name or…

Hardware Health Monitoring in SAM is a simple one check box affair for Dell PowerEdge, HP Proliant, IBM xSeries, and Dell/HP blade chassis. After that, the out-of-the-box pre-configured alerts are typically sufficient for most peoples needs. Though you can customize the alert configuration to best suite your needs. Most…

When the modules have been installed together on the same server they all use the same database. The ONLY exception to that rule is NCM which uses it's own database. To see which database and database server NCM is using open the "Orion Network Configuration Manager" Win32 application and click <help -> about>. You should…

That may very well be your issue right there if you've chosen to apply the Active Directory 2008 R2 - 2012 Services and Counters template as stated in your original post, to a non-R2 server.

It's an EMC Celerra

Both SAM Applications and individual Components Monitors can be included in groups, and groups can be dependent upon other groups. This means you can use both groups and dependencies together to accomplish virtually and dependency requirement.

The most common reason for this error is that TCP Port 17778 is not open from the machine where the Agent is installed to the Orion server or Additional Polling Engine. Have you tried using Server Initiated Mode instead?

Can you post your case number here so I can investigate?

What you describe is not really possible today. serena​ is working on some major improvements to the view management system, so it's good that she better understand your use case. For now though, you'll need to decide what is more work. Adding and configuring resources to that view, or copying the view which has the…

This is a question better suited for the Orion SDK​ forum.

Which component is returning this error and what version and type of VMware are you running? ESX or ESXi?

it looks like an output format issue. The line that returns "Items in mailbox $username : 110" should read something like "Message:Items in mailbox $username = 110" While not PowerShell the same same resulting output end exit codes used for Windows Script Monitors apply to the PowerShell script monitor are outlined in the…

PowerShell 2.0 is the minimum requirement for WinRM. PowerShell 3-5.0 are all equally as well supported.

This is not yet possible in SAM without the component monitor showing a status of "Down" when the process isn't running. You can however vote for this feature request here -> http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1013

The scripts would monitor these processes when running for the statistical information you're looking to report upon similar to the process monitors available today, but instead of exiting with a failure code when these processes aren't running they'd exit with a normal condition. Statistics would likely be zero for times…

derik.pfeffer​, you may need to clear your browser cache. If that doesn't resolve the issue, others have reported success uninstalling and re-installing the hotfix. Ensure the Configuration Wizard runs through completion and run an 'iisreset' to ensure the site is recompiled.
