No SQL experience needed here. As Andy suggested above the easiest approach here is to use custom properties instead of groups. Custom properties are very powerful and flexible and can be leveraged throughout the product in various ways such as reports, alerts, account restrictions, view limitations, etc. Groups were more…

Not as of yet. What many users do is leverage the Orion SDK to add a shutdown and startup script which un-manages and re-manages the node when it's restarted via normal means.

The hostname macro is a variable passed by Orion and will return the same hostname regardless if the script is executed locally or remotely. That macro simply returns the node caption for the host the template is applied to, not necessarily where the code is running. Regardless your output look properly formatted but you…

SAM 6.0 (currently available in RC) includes full server asset inventory collection, which also includes the Dell DRAC and HP iLO support referenced above. Sign-up here and try it for yourself!

Alternatively you can use AppInsight for SQL included in SAM 6.x which will return a list of the top XX most fragmented clustered and non-clustered indexes. You can even exclude indexes that are smaller than a particular size to eliminate indexes that fragment quickly.

You should do a MIB walk of that device to ensure the Citrix MIBs are loaded. Citrix allows SNMP to be enabled/disabled through the Citrix management console. This feature however is only available for XenApp Platinum, Gold, and Enterprise.

This message is returned only when you select a "Node Details" view, since this view is node/device specific. You will need to select an existing summary view or create a new custom summary view and assign that to the user.

Is it the same SolarWinds.ServiceHost.Process as the original poster that's leaking memory?

Yes, if you were placing this resource on say a Summary view which has no macro information it can pass than SWQL would be the way to go.

Have you tried creating a template to monitor the java process using the Real-Time Process Explorer?

Assigning application template to nodes automatically is currently reserved to application discovery. I foresee some potential issues in the scenario you defined, such as false alerts triggered when a node matching your naming criteria is added but the expected application doesn't exist yet. A good example of this would be…

They don't provide specifics, though they are gathering similar metrics to SAM. What I would suggest doing is peel back the monitoring for one of the effected hosts. Do this slowly so you can see when/if the events stop being generated. I'd start by disabling any application templates you have assigned to that node. I'd…

Note that AppInsight for SQL should not be assigned to the SQL Server itself when operating in a cluster. AppInsight for SQL should only be assigned to the Cluster itself via a node that represents the VIP, not each cluster member individually.

The only Windows account that has adequate default permissions to allow SAM to monitor is the local or domain administrator. You can however create a non-admin service account for SAM following the steps outlined in the KB article below. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to create a non-administrator user for APM polling.

In the URL field as pictured below

You should begin to see statistics update essentially immediately, though not all will be updated in that time frame. The Job Scheduler will ensure that the polling jobs are evenly distributed over time to prevent the Orion server from becoming overwhelmed. If the server has been backed up or offline for an extended period…

What is the purpose behind the alert suppression condition? Can you remove is and see if the problem persists? I have a suspicion that might be reason why this alert is not firing.

There's certainly nothing more frustrating than spending hours creating something, and then losing it when you go to save. I suggest you safe often and if this persists, open a case with support so we can troubleshoot the issue further.

Are the VMware tools installed on this machine? I realize it's a physical host, but the most common reason for misdetection is that at some point in time the VMware Tools were installed onto a physical host.

SNMPv3 should make no difference. You are very much so on the right track. Worst case, if the OID in fact existed you might need to change the SNMP GET to a GET-NEXT, but since the OID doesn't exist at all that's not going to help any either.

The notes from the case state: To verify the CDO profile, you must use the "MFCMapi free tool, availabe at: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/. 1. In the MFCMapi tool, navigate to Profile > Advanced Profile > Launch Profile Wizard, keeping the defaults on the first dialog. 2. Set the profile as default. 3. Update the profile…

Orion does not yet at this time support TLS 1.2. SAM 6.3 (currently in beta) does however support TLS 1.2.

How are you attempting to monitor the SQL application? If you're using AppInsight for SQL then it should be as simple as clicking "List Resources" on the node and selecting the instances you want to monitor. Clicking on the SQL instances from the "All Applications" resource will prompt you for credentials needed for…

In this scenario I would recommend disabling all events following the method I provided above to disable all out of the box events. Then create your own actions to event upon using the Advanced Alert Manager with the "Log the Alert to the NetPerfMon Event Log" trigger action. This will allow you to define precisely what…

Is each oracle instance running on a different port? Have you tried connecting to these different Destination Point Names through that IP address using the native Oracle client? I'm trying to determine if the issue is with connectivity, authentication, or with the Oracle queries themselves. This might be easier to…

Application Templates must be posted in the Content Exchange for them to appear in-product.

NPM 12.1 (Core 2017.1) and earlier has the license store on disk. NPM 12.2 (Core 2017.3) and later have their license store in the database.

The volley of questions and responses, as well as the timeliness of those responses, appear to be very much in line with what I would expect from any normal non-urgent support case. I would imagine that dan jagnow is one of our absolute best Orion SDK experts, and I'm certain he will get to the bottom of the issue one way…

Correct. The value is in bytes. So the example in the screenshot above is 10MB.
