Does anyone know how to pull statistical reports from AppInsight for AD. Looking/needing to pull LDAP Bind times for x# of days for each Domain Controller

aLTeRGo - when is SAM 6.2 slated for general release? 

Now that is a great idea, wonder why I never thought of that. I'll give it a try. Thanks for your reply

Can't wait to get my hands on the new SAM 6.2 (production release). When is the expected release date for SAM 6.2. I super interested in both the App Insight for IIS and the new client agent as we have quite a few systems that reside in DMZs and up until now we have not had an easy way to monitor them. Super stoked about…

I have come up with my own work around for this issue. I created a scheduled task that executes a PowerShell script which deletes any scheduled tasks that have "Optimize Start Menu Cache Files" in the task name. On servers that we RDP to on a frequent basis the scheduled task runs every 15 min. On other server it runs…

This is a great idea and would be a awesome addition to SAM's monitoring capabilities.

Alex - The script is actually a very simple one liner. The code is below. As I said I run the script in a scheduled task at various intervals, every 15 min to every couple of hours depending on how often the server is logged on to either at the local console (pretty rare) or via RDP. Also, I run the script using a Groups…

This would be totally awesome. 

ttl - I ran into the same issue you appear to be having. When the new scheduled task monitor came out I thought it would monitor scheduled tasks and also tell me if an associated script executed properly. That was not the case. All the scheduled task monitor does is report the status of the scheduled tasks. That's all! It…

All, I have it working now - Was mostly my fault and not being all that familiar with the detailed workings of setting up advanced alerts. Thanks for all those who replied and tried to assist Much Appreciated

aLTeReGo - Thanks for the reply. Yes, the monitor does change status when the eventID is written. The status goes from Green to Red on the monitor in the Web console. My issue is that I am unable to get the alert to correctly trigger and send out an e-mail. I'm not concerned about the Event Log Message since I have…

Petr - Thanks for the reply I probably used a poor choice of words "If exists set the monitor status to critical. "If exists set the monitor status to critical" I did mean if the event ID exists monitor status goes down. I'm just having a problem getting the Alert the trigger and send out an e-mail. Thanks again

Update on this issue. Everything is working now. If you are interested in what I did let me know and I will gladly share what I did. Although, it will make no rhyme or reason, but for some reason a small variance in way I deploying the App Insight for IIS monitor made all the difference. Thanks for everyone's inputs and…

tomasv - Perfect answer. Exactly the information I was looking for. Much thanks!

Jonathan, et al. So the root cause of my issue turned out to be a full hard drive. During our last patch cycle a DotNet 4 update wrote a slew of .txt and .cab file to the %systemroot%/temp folder which basically filled up the system partition. This was preventing the PoSh script writing output so the script was not able to…

jpaluch - Been there done that. Apparently it's not possible to have the Performance Analysis reports emailed as .csv or Excel file. I've tried and the reports are simply not attached to the e-mail. The other "non-Perf Analysis" reports that I have assigned to the same reports come through as Excel and/or .CSV attachments…

Tried the local account route and the same result. The report runs but no attachment, just a link to the report. A bummer that this appears not to be doable. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Would like to know if anyone has had any success in getting an alert for a Secuity Log event to trigger. I have a monitor that checks for any system time changes Event ID 4616. If exists set the monitor status to critical. This component monitor is in the Server 2008R2- Server 2012 Domain Controler Security template. I…

leejosephr - Happy to hear that my workaround/solution was useful to you. Thanks AZSmitty

The issue has been solved - I'm back in business with this monitor

aLTeReGo - Now that makes sense. I have reconfigured my alert trigger as you suggested. I'm confident the change will work - you guys rock! Thx

aLTeRGo,- All application monitors by the specific polling engine were not working, yet they work fine with my other polling engines. Newly added assigned applications on that poller also did not work. You may have noticed that I used past tense, were & did. This is because the issue has been corrected. Corrective action…

Jamesatloop1 - Thanks for your input. While I realize the solution I'm looking for is a SIEM function, and we do have a very robust SIEM deployment. But I was also hoping I could do the same sort of thing with SAM. While your solution to use the DC Security Template. It does not provide what I'm looking for. I did try the…

Sites are up and components in the App Insight for IIS monitor are up as you can see in the screen shot. For example when I look a monitor I see stats for the App pools and connection data

When I do that is seems to target a single DC. Will that still allow me to monitor multiple DCs with a single application monitor or will I need to create a unique template for each DC. I ask because on some DCs the monitor is working but on others I get no data available. It seems to be AD Site aware, where the DC I…

mbussey - Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of the ability to have monitored nodes with the SAM agent in stalled to either initiate comms back to the pollers or visa versa. My question is specifically aimed at the new port requirements. If these new ports are only for the SAM agent then I know the answer to my question. But…

Thanks for the tip, That seems to have worked. One additional question. In the Performance Analysis console there is the ability to save the analysis as a .CSV file. When I create the report and take a look at it there is no option to export is or save it as a CSV file. Is that possible. Ideally I would like to have the…

swpyatt - its not a PoSh code issue because I can/have copied the code to an editor, saved it as a .ps1 and executed it and it runs just fine. In the case of my Domain Controller replication monitor it was working, but has suddenly stopped Thanks

aLTeReGo - Thanks for the reply but I have pretty much rules this our with a reboot of the Orion Server. It should also be noted that I can copy the code from the monitor(s), place it in an editor, save it as a .ps1 file and execute it (on the Orion Server) and the script works as designed. It's only when the code is in…

I should of also stated that the cert is published to the local computer personal store
