Storage Manager will automatically map VMware datastores and the associated VM to LUNs. For physical machines, you can manually map Volumes to an Array via the Servers Tab under each Array (Array > Servers > Allocate Volumes. The allocated volumes will now show under Servers > Disk Performance report. However, there is no…

In addition to what Rob said, we are working on an improved mapping that automatically builds the relationship with a high degree of accuracy. For now, you will have to either choose the relationships from the suggested ones, or create the ones you want by walking through the relationship wizard. The new integration video…

I would do a fresh install of the agent. If you are under maintenance, 5.1.2 is the shipping version. Brian

Hi We will post an answer to your question in the next few days. Stay tuned. Brian

Thanks for the suggestion, we will add it to the list we are considering. Brian

Hi - it looks like we don't support this currently, but will look into a workaround. Likely, we will have to add this as a feature request for a future release.

Note - Storage Manager thru 5.2 has performance for the IBM XIV turned off by default. Once you upgrade to 10.2.4.e, make sure you turn on the performance by clicking on the wrench. Brian

Patriot, Were you able to fix this issue? Note that the IBM XIV provider had a known stability issue that was fixed in 10.2.4.e for Gen 2 hardware. Brian

We are looking into this issue. If you have not started a ticket yet, please do. Brian

I assume you are asking about excluding spare drives from being counted toward the licensing? If so, the answer is no, there is no way to do that. You would need to upgrade to the next license tier. If you are asking about something else, let me know.

Did you find what you were looking for to solve your problem? Brian

Virtualization Manager takes a deep dive on virtualization data, both from the data collected as well as how it is analyzed. One item many users like is the datastore performance which allows them to overlay VM performance over datastores to see contention on storage. VMan has capacity planning capabilities that allow you…

Hi, thanks for the great question. In DPA 12.0, when you drill down to a query, you'll see annotations for the entire instance in QPA (Query Performance Analyzer). In QPA, you can go back as far as you have data. In the screenshot below, I am looking at the last 90 days and I've hovered over an old annotation and been able…

Yes, DPA can monitor MySQL just like Oracle or SQL server. When you are registering a database, you should see MySQL as an option (since version 10.0). If you are on version 10 and have available licenses, you should be able to configure and monitor today. See Register a MySQL database - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and…

Use from_unixtime(time/1000) since the DB is in milliseconds. See more here: MySQL :: MySQL 5.5 Reference Manual :: 12.7 Date and Time Functions Brian

Eric - curious if you moved forward with monitoring with DPA in AWS?

With DPA 11.0, you should automatically see the AG tab when you register an instance with an AG. if you are not, go ahead an open a support ticket Submit a Ticket | SolarWinds Customer Portal

Rick Generally that error means 1) The agent can't access the share. It may be able to see the share, but not actually access the files on the share. 2) There are no files on the share. Try logging into a server with the same credentials you are using on the agent, then try to access the share and see if you can browse the…

Update 3/22/17: DPA now supports Azure SQL Database - see the DPA 11.0 Release Post Update: DPA is now available in the Azure Marketplace! Takes about 5 minutes to deploy. Database Performance Analyzer on Microsoft Azure Marketplace You can still deploy DPA on a VM by following the information below. Hi, Yes, I've deployed…

Virtualization Manager does not support changing the default logo. Brian

Did the agent self register? Check the Settings > Resources page... do you see to Servers? Brian

Hi Were you able to resolve your issues? Brian

Hi Some arrays don't give us latency, and since that part of the GUI is common, we went with the most important metrics. In the future, we will have a more configurable GUI where you will be able to add and remove the metrics and widgets. Thanks Brian

Hi I am a little confused by your question, are you asking how do we monitor VMware environments, or are you asking for specs for running the Profiler server on a VM? The first, check our permissions and security document at www.solarwinds.com/.../ProfilerSec.pdf If the second, what are you monitoring in your environment.…

Sean, We cannot group the CX LUNs at this time, however, you can create reports with filters that will pull specific LUNs into the report you are interested in. LUN grouping is high on our wish list, but no delivery time table at this time. Brian

Working on answer... Brian

Gerry, I would like to discuss what you are looking for, as STM has the capbility to see the real amount of storage used. Would it be ok if I contacted you? Brian, PM

We have run some preliminary tests and it looks safe to upgrade the hardware version. Let us know if you run into any issues. Brian

Working to get you an answer on this one.

We are looking into the issue, will keep you posted when we have a resolution. Brian
