Wait... you mean something is actually using all of these nodes I'm monitoring?! No, I definitely don't have a handle on the dependencies and the services. We're still trying to get a full view of the infrastructure. You make an absolutely valid point, though. The business, and even IT management, don't care about the…

I don't always hack workstations, but when I do, I use a name like this one... Keep monitoring, my friends!

Yep! I'll see what they say...

And now Orion has lost the "Log Flushes", "Storage", and "Transactions" counters for one database on a SQL 2008 server that has been up...

Thanks for the help, Petr.Vilem​! The query for the "Log Bytes Flushed/sec" counters shows rows for all but 4 of the databases on that SQL 2012 instance. And those 4 are the ones that Orion shows as down, which explains why Orion is showing some as up and these 4 as down. I'm not sure where those counters would have come…

And that would be the difference... Learn something new every day! Thanks for the help!

I'll look into that, but why does it even apply to a SQL 2012 instance if the counters don't exist? Edit: Yeah, after looking at the performance counters, I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. The one instance having an issue is part of a cluster that also runs a SQL 2008 R2 instance. When I log onto the host running the…

Negative. None of them auto close enabled.

The macro version worked: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Application.CustomProperties.AdditionalContactEmail}. Before posting the question, I had tried several options, including ${Application.AdditionalContactEmail} and ${N=SwisEntity;M=Application.AdditionalContactEmail}, I think. But I guess I wasn't drilling down deep enough into…

But WinRM was already working because the server was already configured and getting monitored as WinRM node, right?

Yes, it sees it as the correct version. Status DownSQL Server Version 11.0.5058.0SQL Server Product Level SP2SQL Server Edition Enterprise Edition (64-bit)Clustered with And actually, after looking a little closer at the databases showing the log flush counter problems, there may be something else going on. The "All…

Ok... that worked! But why did the credentials test on that same window fail? The error I posted in the original post is what I get when I click the "Test" button. Because that was failing, I never tried the "Configure Server" button...

I figured that was the case, but thanks for verifying. Wilco.

So, in SAM 6.2.2, I've tried using this in the To: field of an alert, but as soon as I paste it into the field, it immediately parses the string on the spaces. Any ideas? All I want to do is use an application custom property in a component alert... ${SQL:SELECT AdditionalContactEmail FROM APM_ApplicationCustomProperties…

Thanks for working on a module, Michael! This is definitely a great start for the PowerShell geeks like me! And you've got some impressive, thorough, and NEAT code. I'm almost scared to start adding my own stuff to it...

Ok... so what do I do in this situation? the application is showing as down because the performance counter doesn't exist on that database because the counter isn't available for that version of SQL...

Any other thoughts? My last post was just verifying that the node was a WMI node and that the template was added via "List Resources".

So, I've upgraded now, but the counter is still enabled. Any ideas?

I know I'm late to the party, but FWIW I had the same problem on RHEL 7. My solution was a little different: * Install OMSA and DSU using Dell documentation: Dell System Update * Using "snmpwalk -v 1 -c COMMUNITY HOSTNAME .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1" to test for Dell MIBs returned nothing * Follow this blog to enable SNMP in…

* WMI managed node * Added the template via "List Resources"

Affirmative. It's the admin account I do everything else with.

Definitely! Michael Halpin has a great start on the module, but there's always room to grow. For reference, here's how I modified your code to create a new function in my own version of the PowerOrion module: <#.EXAMPLESet-OrionNodeManagementState -SwisConnection $swis -NodeId (Get-OrionNodeID -SwisConnection $swis…

I see that it's been updated in 6.2.1, but is there a way to disable it in 6.2.0?

Well, that log doesn't exist, but when I try the "Test" button on the IIS server credentials dialog, a "Solarwinds.APM.Probes_[2896].log" file and a "Solarwinds.APM.BlackBox.Iis.Jobs.log" file are updated. In those files, I see the entries below. The line that reads "Consult the logs and documentation for the WS-Management…

That is a strange one... And sorry I missed the output in your original post. I'm sort of grasping for straws here, so don't be offended by stupid simple suggestions: * Could it be a permissions issue with the user Orion is running the script as? Maybe some permission is set correctly on server1 and not on server2? * Have…

Can you elaborate, aLTeReGo​? We've added the "Microsoft Windows Server 2012-2012 R2 Failover Cluster" template to the VIP for a 2 node file share cluster, but I don't see where any of the components would notify me of a failover. CMD

Well... nice thought, but... SolarWindsOrion Platform 2015.1.2, SAM 6.2.2, DPA 10.0.0, QoE 2.0, NPM 11.5.2, NTA 4.1.0, IVIM 2.1.0 1995-2015 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. All Rights Reserved. Keep digging!

Yeah, I tried to edit it early on, but I don't have that option on the AppInsight monitors:

Thanks jblesener​! I'll try it out.

That will do it...
