I'm in the same boat as Ballzo....we were using SNMP v2 on systems until PCI came around and said v2 wasn't acceptable any longer. We moved anything PCI related to WMI...

I've actually just run into this over the last week or so. Re-adding the node sets it back to green...but that's not really a answer as it worked fine for years and now it's not. I have a case open with them...I'll post back if anything comes of it.

I second this....Each Solarwinds environment I came into the person managing it felt the need to monitor everything and anything. Maybe check your monitors and see if you have some duplicate monitoring going on....such as, if you're monitoring the disk space on a VMware cluster, you don't need to monitor the disks from…

I would agree with curtisi....write the data out to a file share to ensure you maintain the 100 days you need...we found out the hard way what happens when you fill up the LEM drive with backup data.

I would agree with ekis.....when I have run into that issue in the past, it's generally been connectivity...local firewall or some vlan that the poller didn't have access to.

I would second this...I just checked out a few of my systems systems with the agent and the CPU usage isn't much even with FIM monitoring turned on.

This is the way I do it in my environment...local accounts / WMI....it's sort of a pain to setup if you have a lot of systems, but once it's done, you should be fine.

Sounds like you were looking for user auth settings in IE.

I know this is kind of old, but I'm trying to figure out how this template works. I've configured the script but I'm not sure how you actually tie it to the AD account? For other monitors you use, they get tied to a server name or IP...I seem to be missing something with this.

I have the type of thing setup for all my remote sites.. The second link in RhidianS post is basically what I did....although I didn't follow this particular document, I fumbled my way though it and ended up with the same thing. I set it up a couple years ago and it's been great when we have remote site outages in terms of…

I had that issue with a few nodes a while back...what I ended up having to do was make a database correction. The field that indicates if a system is up / down / unmanaged wasn't being updated correctly. I worked through this issue with support. It happened a while ago and don't remember what field we corrected...once the…

I wrote a little powershell script to look in our FTP folder for files that have arrived in the last hour. It's not something I run through SAM....It's just a scheduled task that kicks off every hour and emails me what it finds....name, creation time, size....that's pretty much it. I'm not sure if it's the same thing…

I was running into this issue as well...I didn't have the reg key that was mentioned as well. I did notice when I opened Perf Mon I got an error about not being able to load certain counters. I found the post below which corrected the issue:…

Are you looking to run a report for this information, or are you looking to edit a panel to list only certain systems with snapshots? 

I'm always willing to help you guys out or speak with you about these type of things. This is a great way to voice ideas and issues that could become features down the road. 

I haven't used the "Mute" feature yet....but I will and report back....

Hello, I'm using the "SSL Certificate Expiration Date Monitor" in my environment...it seems to be working fine. As far as the monitor showing up in the console...I have the All Application Tree menu on dash board. Assuming you have this option on your dashboard, it should list the app monitor there....although it's…

You can monitor Windows 10, we have a bunch of VDI's that we monitor for resource usage when our dev's complain they are slow.

There are several reports that you can pull from VMan that will do this...just based on your requested info I found the following at a quick glance... VM's by cluster VM's configured for Windows vCPU to Host cores ratio - I think this might give you the vCPU info you need. As for SQL / Oracle...I would use SAM for that as…

I believe that is by design What's the expected behavior when a DHCP scope is deleted from the server?

I don't believe that is a setting you can configure. 

Here is mine...you got me on a good day with no critical events. Not sure if there are any spots open...but if you need more people to talk to shoot me an email. The times appear to be filled.

So the way I setup my SSL monitors was to create external nodes objects of each site / url....then I added them to the a template called "SSL Certificate Expiration Date". I don't remember if this was one I downloaded or if it was one that came with SAM...it's been a long time since I set it all up. It shows me the name of…

You can either build your own from scratch...meaning add all the services you want, or you can use the Component monitor wizard and pull the services in from an example node. As for one template that fits all...I'm not sure if there is such a thing...If you're looking at general services that every Windows server has then…

Hello, When I was first setting up the Cert monitors I had the same reservations as you...but "mesverrum" provided a great screenshot of what you'll see. You will also see the monitor on your main panel show as yellow and then red when your cert is about to expire, assuming you have the application tree showing. My cert…

It really depends on what components you're going to use... My current environment isn't nearly as large as yours...we have about 600 nodes, 2400 volumes, 1000 app monitors. The majority of the systems are in 2 main DC's with a handful of systems at remote sites. We only use Orion and SAM in this environment...we have one…

I'm not sure if this has changed or not....but I followed this with our environment. Basically keep the pollers and such on the same timezone as the SQL server. Receive false alerts due to time zone differences - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Why does the "unscheduled" task require a modification each month? The native windows Task Scheduler will allow you to run a job based on "the second Tuesday of the month" or whatever specific day you want the job run....it's possible I'm not understanding what you're trying to do.

I grabbed this off the MS site: PowerShell 3.0 and 4.0 are backward compatible with PowerShell 2.0, and PowerShell 4.0 is backward compatible with 3.0. Maybe there's a command that 2.0 has that is changed in newer versions or something along those lines...in looking at the doc, you're right it is required. My systems have…
