What is the maximum number of agents you have assigned to any single polling engine? If you have 9500 Agents, you would need at least one main poller and nine Additional Polling Engines to handle that amount of Agents.

Adding an entry to the host file will work for forward zones, but will not work for reverse lookups. At least not without without some additional labor. Given you have a fair number of what I'll assume are Unix/Linux/Nagios script monitors running against this machine the issue could be concurrency. I've seen this issue in…

Out of curiosity, which application templates do you have assigned to the nodes that are generating this error?

After a thorough investigation I was only able to find one potentially similar reported case (NS910796) which was opened only two days ago and is ongoing. My recommendation would be to open a case with support and provide them with diagnostics from the agent so we can determine the cause of the high memory consumption.

There are other ways of monitoring the SQL Agent job status outside of AppInsight for SQL. Below is one such example. Simply disable this component in AppInsight for SQL and use the following template instead. Monitor State of SQL Server Agent Jobs

PsExec is a great alternative to runas that doesn't require pre-storing credentials on the end host. However, it's not included with Windows so it would need to be distributed to the end hosts using Patch Manager or other methods.

Nice catch. I'll file a bug to have this investigated. In the meantime you can update the Threshold manually in the template. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Since these are Windows Servers you're having these issues with, you may find switching to WMI as your polling method for these servers eliminates or reduces the frequency of phantom volumes appearing in Orion.

Not at all. But you need to reference the Custom Property in the filter in the following way where "City" is the name of the custom property and "Austin" is the value of that Custom Property. Nodes.CustomProperties.City like 'Austin'

Excellent feedback. Glad to hear that resolved your issue.

The screenshot below might help..

Better luck next time.

The report serves as an example, or proof of concept. Not as the final solution. The basic principles that are used in that report can be utilized to report on essentially any aspect of a template that has been overridden. Keep in mind however that each component type has unique options. Only thresholds and credentials are…

A few noteworthy items worth pointing out... * It looks like you're trying to pass a message to stdout without defining its output properly in "Write-Host $OfflineServers" This should instead read "Write-Host "Message: $OfflineServers". * Based upon the XenApp SDK I downloaded it appears these cmdlets are 64bit, not 32bit.…

If you have no ability to disable the SQL Agent Jobs that are failing in your environment, then I would recommend disabling the "SQL Agent Job Info" component.

You'll first need to enable monitoring of Hardware Health on the node. For Windows and Linux hosts this requires hardware vendor supplied software be installed on the server. Once enabled, the default out-of-the-box alert "Hardware component is in warning or critical state" should be configured to notify you via email when…

You can also do this directly from the Node Details view by Launching the "Service Control Manager" (Windows Only) or the Real-Time Process Explorer (Windows or Linux). Once opened, simply select the process or service you want to monitor and click "Start Monitoring".

Manilyn Ramos​, would you please open a support case for this issue and post your case number here? I will see that it gets escalated to the appropriate individual.

In the latest SAM 5.5 beta it is now possible to utilize SSH Private Key certificates for authentication with Linux/Unix and Nagios Script Monitors. If you'd like to participate in the latest SAM beta you can sign-up here to download to give it a try.

According to Microsoft the information returned is in kilobytes. If that's not what you're seeing you may want to open a case with Microsoft support to get clarification. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189883.aspx Data File(s) Size (KB) Cumulative size (in kilobytes) of all the data files in the database…

You will need to provide more specificity in the resource settings as there is no one/single temperature value for a device. Devices which support Hardware Health often have multiple temperature sensors. CPU/Processor temp, Air Intake Temp, Exhaust air temp, etc. etc.. This likely explains the unusual results you are…

loken.bhatt, applying the template referenced above by brianflynn is done the same as any other template in SAM. Details instructions are available at the link below. * http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/sam/default.htm#orionapmagmanuallyassigningtemplatestonodes.htm

Have you downloaded the latest version of this template from the Thwack Content Exchange, or are you using the one that was included out-of-the-box? I suggest deleting the template entirely, downloading the one available here -> Server Clock Drift (PowerShell) and see if that works better for you.

Another cause/reason why this can occur was identified shortly following the release of SAM 6.2. That issue will be fixed in the SAM 6.2.1 Service Release which is due to be released shortly.

That makes sense. Ideally the gauge range would adjust dynamically based upon the statistical value returned from the component in relationship to the warning and critical thresholds as they're defined in the component settings.

If you're currently collecting this information via UnDP then the information is contained in the Orion SQL database. You could create a SQL Query with the SQL User Experience Monitor in APM to return a numerical status based on the string value the UnDP returns. E.G. Healthy = 0, Degraded = 1, Critical = 2. You could even…

It looks like the Orion server has lost connectivity to the database server, polling has ceased, or the database has run out of white space either due to lack of available free disk space on the volume or the database is not configured to autogrow. Another possibility is that you're using SQL Express and the database has…

It is possible to sum values in a time series chart using the Custom Chart resource or Multiple Object Chart.
