In that case, get a price quote for SAM from your preferred vendor and present that to them. There are tons of things you can do with SAM beyond this. You can monitor on file existence, age, size, count, change, and more - including file content, which isn't really applicable to page files.

Can you post a screenshot maybe? I can't find anything with that name.

Thanks!

Sadly, the issue has returned for me, even after an upgrade to NPM 12

Correction - the above alert logic does work, it was merely unexpectedly delayed by our email system.

The monitor works no problem. I can't find how to alert on it, however.

The other, probably less likely possibility is that someone manually entered a name in the past and it's stuck. Edit the node's properties and clear out the name to let Solarwinds re-add it based on DNS/SNMP/etc.

I believe this is essentially correct. To put it another way, NetPath doesn't care what the paths COULD be, it cares what the paths HAVE been. It sends traffic and monitors the path that traffic took. If you have 100 potential paths and the NetPath traffic has always only gone down one path, only one of the 100 paths will…

No firewall in between. Wouldn't that prevent it from reporting in entirely, anyway? I'll reinstall when I have a chance to reboot in between.

No, nothing like that.

On the Trigger Condition tab, make sure the very first drop down ("I want to alert on:") is set Interface, not node.

I usually reboot when it happens, and it comes back. I was hoping to find a better fix than editing the registry. What kind of entries are they? DWord?

Do a repair/reinstall of .NET 4. I did that on the 8th and haven't had another issue.

That depends - what information are you hoping to gather? What equipment is in use and what level of access do you have to it? And is this really the same person? Please tell me you came back to this thread after nine years.

The field you're looking for is called "Percent Loss" under the Node. You can set it to anything you'd like, including 100%. You can also include this under the reset condition, allowing you to (for example) alert you of the issue for only 100% packet loss, but only reset the condition if it improves to less than 10%…

There are three options I'm familiar with. 1. One is to use the built-in reports based on amount of time until the disk fills up. This works great for volumes on file servers or the like, where data growth is fairly constant. These monitor the "Volume Capacity Forecasting" property. In development environments or other…

It's there by default. Under Manage Nodes, drop down the Group By menu in the upper left and choose Community or RWCommunity. WMI and ICMP nodes will show up as Unknown.

I'm close, but I misconfigured something. Like I said before, we have three scenarios: 1. File doesn't exist - no alert 2. File exists and is new - no alert 3. File exists and is old - alert! So I have the file existence monitor and the file age monitor set up on the same file on several Windows servers. My alert has two…

I'm in the same boat - or close enough. I have a process that automatically updates a file on several servers every 4 hours. I need an alert that triggers if the file is older than 4 days, and doesn't trigger if the file does not exist (because it hasn't been configured yet). I have the monitors set up, but no alerts yet.

Apologies for raising the dead, but hopefully this will help somebody. Stumbling upon this thread inspired me to set up alerting for it, as I hadn't already done so. There are two options, as I see it. 1. Alert based on the interfaces/connected devices going down. Realistically, you should already have this set up. Not the…

Disk space is easy. Under Trigger Condition, change the drop down in the upper left from Node to Volume. You then have available space, percent used, and a few others available to you. Page file monitoring would likely require SAM. What specifically do you want to monitor?

30+ firewalls doesn't seem like all that many, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're looking to implement? You really need to directly add them to NPM. You'll get all the interfaces (including tunnels, VLANs, etc.), memory, CPU, and storage. I don't get firmware versions, but our Palo Altos will be replaced with Fortinets…

Just an update for anyone with the same issue - I've had a support ticket open for a month now, and Solarwinds clearly has no idea why their product is broken.

Just finished setting up about 20 new NetPath probes, all of them pointed to the same two destinations (one our Solarwinds server, one external). The results are sporadic. They were all deployed the same way, on the same OS, with identical (or very nearly identical) hardware in play. Some show all hops for both…

Which field are you using? Last Boot under Node Last Boot under System Information Last Boot under Node Current Statistics Last Boot has changed under Node Also, what OS is the server?

It depends on a lot of factors. You gave us part of one, the server. It also depends on connectivity between the server and all the nodes, what combination of ICMP/WMI/SNMP you're using, how many resources there are to discover on each node, how many nodes actually exist in those ranges, etc. I would start small with a…

Very little - I can't say more specifically than that. I have it running on some Windows servers that are RODCs, NAP, and a couple of other little things and are very underpowered - 1.5-2GB RAM total and low end CPU. I noticed no difference when installing the probe. (And yes, upgrades for these servers are in progress.)

I believe the intention is that "peak" is not maximum, it's a snapshot of traffic during regular business hours, rather than all 24 hours. You can adjust reports to filter out non-peak (non-business hours) traffic: Generate a monthly average utilization report for peak business hours - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and…

I have one poller and separate web/database servers. It took me about 2.5 hours total to upgrade Netflow, NPM (11.5-12), and SAM.
