I've tried changing each field related to time but the only way I seem to be able to get lines back is to select a sample interval greater than 5 minutes.

It would be very nice to be able to have multiple servers per application monitor. There's really not even a reason to call it an "Application Monitor" when you can't monitor all servers for an application under one monitor. We have applications that span a dozen servers with multiple services or processes on each server…

Is there a better solution to do this? Our server team won't allow SNMP on our servers and I have about 2500 servers with multiple filesystems on each that need to be monitored (filesystem names are generally different on each server). We are moving to SolarWinds from a different tool and this is currently a huge hurdle…

I don't like having a list full of probes that aren't used anymore, and while the database change technically works it just doesn't seem like a "clean" method. If there is no impact from leaving that installed on the agent then I guess it's not a huge deal.

Yes, just normal server statistics monitoring.

Great info, thanks!

Are you able to show a screenshot or something of where exactly the instance memory is at? I have been looking all over and can't seem to find it.

Thanks, that has the server serials I was looking for. Do you know where the network devices (routers, switches, etc) would be stored? We're directly querying the DB to propagate a new asset management database. Since most of this equipment is already in SolarWinds we can save a lot of time by just using that information…

Thanks Jonathan. I had not refreshed the page yet when I posted the below. At least I know I did it correctly now

Has any progress been made on this?

I think this is a bit misleading. I'm not sure what changed to make it work for you (possibly just the discovery process?), but the SolarWinds Engine ID and SNMP Engine ID on the ISE server have nothing in common except in name.

Ok, that is good to hear. Thanks

So just to make I understand correctly - the older/deprecated recorder will still be able to be used until all features are brought over to the new recorder?

So.... you made it pretty but removed a bunch of functionality?

I ended up working with the application owner with it and decided that we can just alert if any files are in there for more than x minutes. It's unfortunate there is no out of the box way to do this. They were using ipMonitor to do this previously (we have gotten rid of ipMonitor in favor of Orion) and I am surprised that…

Jim - were you able to fix this? I'm having the same issue with terrible looking PDF exports and reports.

Is there a way to override the 10 metrics per session limit on the real time polling?

This would be very helpful, especially if real time polling could be used for the current pool and pool member connection counts.

Doh... I got rid of the first decimal and it works fine now.

I was looking for this answer again today. Google led me here, two years later almost to the day. It's as though Google is mocking me.

Two additional questions: I only see Up and Down as options for Component Status in the APM: Component property types. How can I trigger on Warning or Critical alerts? If it is decided that too many warning or critical alerts are sent out, can I send the alert to only trigger if the previous status was equal or not equal…

Please upvote this request here: I can't believed this isn't a standard feature...

Were you able to come up with a solution for this? I also have about 2500 *nix servers with multiple various filesystems that need to be monitored. The server team won't allow SNMP on these servers so I need to use SAM scripts to do this. As you've noted, appying and modifying a component monitor for each server and…

This was due to remote vs local execution. I left it as local but added the -Computer option to the Get-Counter, so it looks like "get-counter -Computer ${IP} -Counter...."

I've done some testing with a custom SQL query to try to get all IPs associated but it's only returning the first IP in the database: ${SQL:SELECT IPAddress FROM [dbo].[NodeIPAddresses] WHERE NodeID = ${NodeID}} When I run this same query in the database manager it returns exactly what I'm looking for: This is the first…

It would be nice if there were a way to trigger the alert based on normal/warning/critical status change so that this could all be done within one alert, as well as a "previous" status and value variables so that the email alert could specify the previous and current status/value.

Unfortunately this is not currently possible with any of the SolarWinds tools. We had to purchase another tool (Dynatrace Enterprise Synthetics) to do this. This would be a very welcome addition to SolarWinds if it were able to test fat clients.

In the steps you do for the "How to stop the UDT log file" have you tried modifying these lines to a new temp directory? <add initializeData="c:\temp\UDT_BusinessLayerPlugin_tracelog.svclog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"…

Thank you all for your input. I ended up scanning specific subnets at a time, and the tip of separating SNMP and WMI scans helped greatly.

After I had a cup of coffee I realized this is a much better approach: But for future knowledge I would still be interested in finding out how to create a custom query like the above in a trigger condition.
