Automatic dependency mapping too! I like this release better all of the time. OK, I'm moving up my schedule for updating NPM.

Try installing the "common agent" for Systems Director on the server. This will respond to the SolarWinds pollers. IBM Systems Director Downloads - Agents

Nice riddle, Bronx. I now feel ready to tackle SQL queries with the word "not" in it (I got the right answer, but I think that I've heard this one before.)

"If this sounds like the usual yak shaving" . . . and I had to go and look up what yak shaving is. then I noticed the irony of being distracted from the article by the specific idiom for being distracted, so I wrote this post. Thanks for the article Leon! Maybe someday I'll read it.

Last year we retired our last server named for a Star Wars reference. That was an enlightening and hilarious article.

I took both of your suggestions, and the high CPU dropped to normal levels within a few minutes. Thank you for the help.

OK, I understand the problem now. However, I do not have a solution. Is your NPM up to date?

Yes, I think that I did enable winrm on the dc since other monitors in domain controller security template are working. Specifically, winrm quickconfig is already set on both the APM/SAM server and the target server. When I run the winrm set commands that you suggested, I get returned 'Error: Invalid use of command line.…

Yes, perhaps the little yellow exclamation means "you can't do that" more than "caution." I had missed the bit of documentation that says, * Make sure you save your flow data on a dedicated disk. Ooop, time to rebuild the server so I can put the flow storage database on a separate disk.

"I have a very simple best practice - only use advanced alerts & turn of basic alerts." I was following your suggestion, but now see a need for basic alerts. I'm going to set up basic alerts for the SQL stack, so if the SQL Orion database goes down then we will still see alerts for any SQL outage. The Orion server is moved…

Thank you, that does seem to be the issue.

I got some answers and it's complicated. "QoE is using “something like” wireshark (exactly pcap driver and 3rd party library that tries to classify traffic by rules to application/protocol name). In some cases (usually when there is only oneside communication) library is not able to classify it correctly because of missing…

@dahannan It is the 2008 Domain Security Controller template that is associated with the issue. I removed this monitoring and CPU usage returned to normal, not that that is exactly a solution. I'm new to Solarwinds, so I'm not aware of any method to re-import templates. @oithim_yew Yes, I added the 2008 Domain Security…

Yes, I'm seeing that condition right now on one server, with one difference. The racing CPU didn't start as soon as the monitor was installed, it took at lease one day to appear. It wasn't a gradual increase either, according to Orion it spiked around 11:00 pm last night and stayed around 100% ever since. Performance…

If you might get SAM in the future then restricting the bar is the user account is preferred. settings Manage Accounts (Under User Accounts) select the appropriate user(s) and click "edit" set ApplicationsTab Menu Bar to "none" (if you selected more than one user, you may need to check the box "Select the menu bar for this…

I'm not sure about the details of the Virtualization Manager, but what I am using and is a Solarwinds Orion platform plugin is the "Integrated Virtual Infrastructure Monitor." I can't seem to find specs, but my server is 67GB and my database is 2GB, so it's certainly less demanding than the Virtualization Manager seems to…

NTA wasn't able to see a .dll so it was failing. Fix was uninstall / reinstall NTA.

This is working! Thank you aLTeReGo for previous posts. Here are my notes in case someone else has a simmilar question. aLTeReGo's steps for methodical troubleshooting of script in alert action (my summary) * Run the desired script as interactive user on the Orion server with hard coded values* User should match the…

So, this is a version of script that works from the monitoring server in an elevated cmd prompt. Powershell "Restart-Service -InputObject (Get-Service -name 'file replication service' -ComputerName Server)" And these are versions of the script that don't work in the Alert simulation Powershell "Restart-Service -InputObject…
