I ran into this issue after migrating into a new cluster as well. However, whenever a failover occurs between cluster nodes you will run into the same issue and have to reset those registry keys. Support will actually tell you that a SQL AlwaysOn DAG is not a supported setup. This was quite annoying considering no where in…

Yes, you can pretty easily monitor Azure VMs using the agent. No real gotchas. We are currently doing this for about a dozen or so VMs in Azure. It's not worth trying to monitor the virtual NIC though, as it gets removed/recreated each time the VM reboots.

This is probably our biggest gripe about Patch Manager as well. You still are left having to go in and see if there are any additional patches left for the servers after the reboot from patching. It seems like having a "patch until it's done" mechanism is a slated feature, but I have my doubts that we'll ever see it be…

Nevermind, I think this is partially my own misunderstanding of the monitor labels. It's telling me that it's "OK" because "Rebuild in Progress" and "Predictive Failure", etc, aren't happening for the drives at the moment. Somewhat confusing to look at anyway, and my own fault haha. But that makes it even more confusing…

We use server initiated polling for our cloud based monitoring due to the same concerns you had regarding the direction of the initiated traffic. However, I have noticed that the server initiated agents have a tendency for polling problems (such as application status going to "unknown"). Restarting the Orion services on…

While my change above definitely improved my situation, it did not completely fix it. I mentioned this issue to support (with the exact .Net exception message) and they claimed it was a bug fixed in 12.4. Can anyone that has experienced this issue confirm that it was actually fixed after upgrading to 12.4? Not that doing…

I was dealing with similar crashes and tried all sorts of things to fix the issue. The one that made the biggest differences in our environment was to modify "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\SWNetPerfMon.DB" and change the various "Timeout" related settings to something much higher, like "600" or "1200". I'm not…

Same frustration here as well. From this to lack of updates or features to this product it's hard to justify keeping it. Things like this should just be scripted out from SolarWinds end so they get pushed out just as quick as Adobe publishes a new release.

The single most annoying missing feature to me is more flexibility around scheduled maintenance windows and alerting. Right now I have resorted to a custom Powershell script that uses the SolarWinds API, custom properties, and a rigid WSUS group naming scheme to make sure things don't get alerted when they have monthly…

I recently went through an upgrade of NPM 11.5.3 to NPM 12.0.1 along with upgrading the latest versions of all of these modules: * SAM * NCM * IPAM * SRM * UDT Basically the process I used was to upgrade all of the modules in place on the existing server (2008 R2), then upgrade the modules on the APE (Additional Polling…

I wouldn't think you'd have to change the specs if it's working on 11.5. We have several modules (of which NCM is one of them) and actually noticed a decrease in CPU on the main poller following the upgrade.

Actually, there should be no need to import anything like that article mentions. You should be able to push it as an approved update by doing the following: * In the Patch Manager Console, go to: Enterprise --> Update Services. Right click your server and go to "Products and Classifications". * On the classifications tab…

I was able to disable application dependency mapping after a reboot. Immediately after it was disabled my system went back to normal and has been stable this week so far. I'm hesitant to open a ticket with SolarWinds Support as that usually never ends well for me (depending on the support person I get I guess).

I'm encountering the same issue after upgrading to SAM 6.7. I was also on 6.6 for quite a while without issues. The biggest change is that I enabled application dependency monitoring. A couple of days after that I started to get applications that will go into a "Component not licensed state", or the IIS AppInsight will say…

*necro thread bump* Just ran into this same issue after applying the most current Orion Platform and NPM hotfixes to our environment. Unfortunately this is the only thread I could really find for a similar issue. I don't see any rhyme or reason on the nodes it decided to remove the hardware health monitors from. Edit: I…

Any luck with this? I'm in the same situation basically. It also looks pretty bad to other users logging into the system when they see an ugly banner like this at the top of the screen.

As a side note, I've been extremely disappointed with SolarWinds support on this issue. I've consistently had to reach out to them to get status updates, otherwise the ticket would go a full day or more without even a call or email from them. This is the complete opposite of the support I've received for issues I've opened…

I'm also seeing a lot of these in the SAM probes logs: SolarWinds.APM.Common.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounters - Unable to get lock for initialization of performance counters SolarWinds: SAM Jobs WARN SolarWinds.APM.Probes.ApplicationJobBase - JobEngineWorker running for '00:23:25.8220862' - requesting worker process I…

I've seen this before too (a few times actually). What has always fixed it for me is re-running through the configuration wizard with services/database checked.

This article provides some of the differences/similarities between SWQL and SQL: Use SolarWinds Query Language (SWQL - SWIS) - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support The best way I've found to test it out is to download the latest stable OrionSDK and play around with the SWQL Studio it installs. You can form your own…

Sad to see NetScalers ignored for so long by SolarWinds NPM. The SNMP OIDs for all the data is well documented: NetScaler SNMP OID Reference It's really just a matter of implementation from someone at SolarWinds. In the product roadmap for NPM it mentions "Deep Visibility into F5 load balancers". But where's the NetScaler…

Another issue I ran into post upgrade is alerts we have that are set to "Repeat this action every X minutes until the alert is acknowledged"...are not doing that. However, on one of them I just went in and modified the time for the setting, then set it back to what it was and saved the alert...now it's working. Edit:…

This is not filling me with much confidence. I'm currently in the middle of an upgrade of all of our modules as of this morning, including to NPM 12.0.1. I guess I will see if we run into of any of this as well. We also have an additional poller and an additional web server.

And this still has not been fixed in the latest version of NPM/SAM (NPM 12.1, SAM 6.4). But in honesty I got tired of going back and forth with support on something that is easily reproduced and testable in a lab environment. I will open another ticket with support and try to stick it out so this gets resolved on a future…

Yep, same here. I hear there's this great monitoring product designed to help monitor and catch expiring certificates before they cause issues. Maybe it's something the SolarWinds team can look into

I gave up on the Windows Powershell Monitor. It does not seem to support multiple statistics. If someone finds a working way for it to parse it please let me know. I ultimately used the Windows Script Monitor. However, I ran into some sort of issue with the Windows Script Monitor running against servers using the Windows…

Sad to say that I've had similar experiences when calling into support with a CPU issue on the main poller. However, we had no issues reinstalling using the installers in "C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Installers". Worse yet they never could figure out the issue with CPU spiking on the data collector even after the ticket was…
