If you can provide me with your case number I will be sure to follow-up directly with that support engineer. As the Product Manager for FoE I can assure you that NPM 12 is fully supported with FoE.

Did you download the latest Scalability Engines Installer from the Orion web interface and upgrade your Additional Polling Engines with this hotfix?

You can contact support to make inquiries on the status of requests.

We don't have any official dates we can currently announce but keep a look out on the Product Blog for beta and RC announcements.

Yes, this template should work with MySQL 5.6 without issue provided the appropriate corresponding ODBC driver that is compatible with MySQL 5.6 is installed on the Orion server

This is a known bug with the new web based alert manager that will be addressed in a future release. In the meantime you will need to ensure the "Orion Module Engine" service is running as the user you wish the PowerShell script is executed under.

Thanks jamesun. This issue should be resolved in the forthcoming RC3.

By Default the HTTP User Experience Monitor is configured to monitor the URL http://${IP}:80 where the IP address is the IP of the node it's assigned. You can change this by clicking the "Edit Application Monitor" link in the top right of the component monitor as pictured below.

Note the HTTP/S retry count can be adjusted by modifying the ‘c:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\APM\SolarWinds.APM.Probes.dll.config’ file and adding an attribute ‘RetryCount’ into HttpClientHelperSettings element. It should look like following: <HttpClientHelperSettings Timeout="300000" RetryCount="3" /> After that…

As a quick follow-up I wanted to be absolutely sure of one more thing. If I go ahead and create this blackout period between 2:00am and 3:00am and a server reboots at 2:30am but doesn't come back up, will the alert still trigger shortly after 3:01am to notify someone that the server is still down?

I would recommend creating a new, temporary virtual machine separate from your production Orion installation. Restore a backup copy of your Orion Database to the same SQL server as the production database, ensuring that you restore it under a different name than your production database. If you have a different SQL server…

My apologies. That was a typo. I meant SAM 6.2.1. 

For what you are describing you would not need to license each application. You would simply need the lowest license tier (AL150). Since it doesn't sound you will be doing much continuous application monitoring, you are simply wanting to gather a list of processes when the CPU is high. That's covered by SAM's Node license,…

Another thought occurred to me. If you are using a Proxy server in your environment, the HTTPS PowerShell session many be using the proxy settings configured on your Orion server. This might explain the certificate failures, since the name does not match. Just a theory, but something worth mentioning to support if you do…

This is outlined in the Port Requirements Guide below: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/SolarWindsPortRequirements.pdf

The latest SAM 5.2 beta includes hardware health monitoring improvements for Dell Servers. So you should now be able to properly monitor the health and status of the battery on your array controller. We've also added a Hardware Health Summary resource on that provides an overview on the status of all your server hardware.…

Even changing the existing dropdown in APM and VoIP Monitor to include 7 & 30 day stats, like NPM, would be a benefit. This would make NPM, APM & VoIP Monitor consistent in their look and feel. Much agreed NG! I must admit that I was a little disappointed to see that this obvious and simple change didn't even make it into…

We added methods like Post, Put, and Delete, as well as User definable Content Types, and Request Body.

I recommend downloading the media from the link below. I have confirmed the performance counters are present on this archive. Unfortunately due to restrictions we are unable to redistribute the files you needed directly. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21308

Each FoE console on the primary and secondary servers should be pointed to themselves though the loopback interface. This will allow you to manage the local FoE instance installed on that server. Optionally, you can add a secondary connection to the opposite server via the channel adapter IP. This will allow you to view…

There are zero SAM application templates which require the use of Agents.

Indeed there is. This is where you would use page content validation in WPM to ensure that the page contains certain elements. If the page is redirected elsewhere those page elements likely do not exists, which would result in an error. WPM can validate simple text strings on a page, as well as images to ensure the page…

Your best bet would be to monitor for Event ID 58 and Event ID 64 to be notified when the Root CA certificate has expired or is nearing expiration.

The macro for property type "APM: component" that shows the last polled statistical value that triggered the alert is ${StatisticData}. If you also want to include the configured warning and/or critical threshold values in the same message, you would use the ${Threshold-Statistic-Warning} and…

Do you also have NPM installed on this same server? If so, what version?

Only one instance is active at any given time in an Active/Passive SQL cluster. Your active/active relationship is for different instances. E.G. Server "1" has instance "1" active and instance "2" passive. While server "2" has instance "1" passive and instance "2" active. Each instance likely has their own VIP defined, so…

My apologies. Unfortunately the Windows Failover Cluster in Windows Server 2003 is not instrumented in such a fashion that makes monitoring possible. E.G. it does not utilize WMI, RPC, SNMP, PowerShell, or any other technology which can be utilized for the purpose of monitoring. You would instead need to utilize SAM's…

All components relate to the SQL Instance. Microsoft does not have a notion of a "SQL Server". It's broken up into Instances. Either the default, unnamed instance, or specifically named SQL instances. An "Instance" is nothing more than a re-install of MSSQL under a different directory path than any others running on the…

Wow, I would imagine the polling interval would also need to be adjusted to accommodate that large of an instance as well since 5 minute intervals are probably too aggressive to query so many individual databases. It's likely the polling never completes before the next poll begins.

Based on the trust configuration it appears as though the trust you created is between two different forests that are not joined by a forest trust. In our lab we have verified that transitive trust relationships should work without issue, however no specific testing has been conducted for non-transitive trusts that I'm…
