  • Bronx is correct. The component details view is not unique to the application but is a global page for all component monitors in all applications, similar to the interface details page in NPM. You can however create custom Application views that include radial gauges for component monitors that are part of the application…
  • Assuming you're running the latest version of NTA the vast majority of information is stored in a proprietary database outside of SQL. With that said it seems odd to me that NTA would be making such a large volume of adds to the database. If you're not already, I recommend upgrading to NTA v4.1. If that doesn't resolve the…
  • I can't say I've ever tried waiting 10 minutes for a result before. It's theoretically possible that you've hit upon some other timeout value elsewhere, but since I have really no way to reproduce the results I would recommend opening a case with support to determine if what you're trying to do is even feasible.
  • You could configure an alert to notify you when this component goes down (indicates a match has been found) and use the ${WindowsEventMessages} macro in the email message body, which will include the full details of the Windows Event Log in the email alert notification.
  • This template was created by sotherls and not SolarWinds. As such, he would be the authority on this template, its configuration, and usage.
  • Running maintenance does not stop polling, alerting, etc.. In other words, no down time is incurred as a result of running database maintenance. You may find the Orion web interface a little sluggish while database maintenance is occurring which is one of the reasons it runs at 2:15am, but the extent of the web performance…
  • I would recommend not removing these directly from the database. Instead you should use the Orion SDK so all remnants are removed from the database.
  • SAM 6.2 currently in beta does not include support for agentless polling of hardware health information via the Dell DRAC. You can however vote on this idea and track its progress at the link below. * Hardware Health Support via IPMI for Dell DRAC and HP iLO
  • I can't and won't speak for Dell, but at this point it would seem Dell has more interest in selling you a $300.00 DRAC for each of your servers rather than supporting WMI from which they reap no tangible revenue.Sadly only servers build in 2013 and beyond support providing any hardware health information via the DRAC. Now…
  • The most common reason why hardware health is not listed as an option for monitoring on servers is that the required vendor supplied agent software is outdated, or not installed. You can find links to the latest versions of your vendors hardware agent software at the link below. For HP servers polled via WMI you will need…
  • @"pratikmehta003" wrote:@"aLTeReGo" one more query.. if Solarwinds is in HA then the agents should be configured to talk to VIP? we tried manually and thru console too but no luck... this is case id in progress:00544107 Agents are fully HA aware and do not communicate through the VIP. In the event of a failover, any agents…
  • EOC is focused on providing summarization of data across multiple Orion instances. You can check it out yourself at the link below. http://eocdemo.solarwinds.com/
  • I spent some time getting this working in my lab. Below is an example of those results. Essentially I created an alert that would notify me if any Windows volume exceeds 90% utilization, and email me a report of its filesystem usage. It may need to be adapted to suite your environment slightly based on the following…
  • Have you tried using the “exctrlst.exe” tool mentioned above? If you're unable to find the PerfProc\Performance Registry Key that might be your problem. I recommend exporting and importing this registry key from a known good/working Windows server. Below is an export from mine. Simply copy/paste into Notepad and save it as…
  • If you're interesting in monitoring your Netapp storage I recommend checking out SolarWinds Storage Manager.
  • I certainlly understand your reservations. It it helps to allay your fears, Release Candidates are the best possible time to identify and report new issues, as resolving those issues during the release candidate phase is the top priority of both support and engineering.
  • It's likely the reason is an older Insight Agent being installed, or in some cases the agent was never completely registered with the operating system. I recommend uninstalling the HP SIM agent and installing the latest version from HPs website. This should resolve the issue.
  • I recommend reading the blog I posted earlier today located here ->
  • The "Record" column controls this. 1 = Enabled 0 = Disabled
  • Agent Log files are located under /opt/SolarWinds/Agent/bin/appdata/Logs
  • I beleive what pavel.grim‌ and slaj‌ are asking is for you to expand the AppInsight for IIS application out from the "All Applications" resource, including the site itself to show exactly which component(s) are reporting a "Down" status. The "Sites" in the screenshot you posted above is a roll-up object for all Sites…
  • Have you considered writing a script monitor that leverages wget or repurpose theExchange 2010 OWA Form Login (PowerShell) template as an example of how to invoke an HTTP request with Internet Explorer using PowerShell.
  • Yes, but it's viewable only in the log files when in debug mode. I recommend that you open a case with support so we can investigate the discrepancy and determine which report is accurate.
  • TCP Ports 135 and 445.
  • That's a fair point AMidnightSoul, however there is a valid, and fairly simple mitigation strategy for this vulnerability. Restrict access to TCP Port 17777 exclusively to the Orion servers in the environment. This can be done using the Windows Firewall or on upstream routers and firewalls. With that one change alone you…
  • As promised, below is a much better example of using PowerShell to gathering metrics from restful APIs. * Cisco IronPort (PowerShell)
  • Try going to Settings, Web Console settings and adjust the auto-refresh to 5 minutes. Then go and make sure that the NOC view is set to change tabs at the default 15 seconds. Save the changes and then see if the NOC view then goes through all tabs
  • Please do. In fact, I recommend opening a case with support. This is clearly not normal behavior. It's likely the query to the monitored server is timing out, but why is the question. In most cases it's a latency issue that the forthcoming Agent is intended to address. In some cases the server being monitored is so…
  • I would recommend upgrading to SAM 6.2 which should resolve this issue. In the unlikely event it does not, please open a case with support so we can identify the root cause of the problem.
