  • @"llemieux" Thank you for your feedback about the SAM documentation. To avoid conflicting information in multiple places, we cover features that span multiple Orion Platform products, such as cloud monitoring, in a single place: the Orion Platform Administrator Guide. Specifically, you'll find details about setting up…
  • @"kashif091", In addition to @"Jfrazier"'s input, check out the Configure Java application servers and JVMs for SAM monitoring section in the SAM Template Reference. Additional info is available at: * JBoss (JMX) template * Understanding Java Remote JMX - SAM Template Config
  • @"vinay.by" The link was updated. Thanks for the feedback!
  • SolarWinds updated JMX-related documentation in SAM 2020.2. For the latest details, please see Configure Java application servers and JVMs for SAM monitoring.
  • @"kbswcon" ...and I just heard back from the AE. "You can continue to use the three new Orion Server 2020.2 templates, and then be able to -- additionally -- apply the HA templates to both of the standby nodes so they're being monitored for the HA side. So we know before any future failure that it should fail over…
  • @"kbswcon" I may need a few days to get back to you. The AE is in a different timezone, plus we're on top of a holiday weekend.
  • @"kbswcon" Here is the input I received from the SAM AE in response to your latest question... Apply the Main Polling Engine template to both Main Polling Engine pairs, and then apply the Additional Polling Engine (APE) HA template to the APE HA pairs. It shouldn't matter which one is active or standby. If issues occur,…
  • @"kbswcon" Sorry, I mixed up this thread with your 2019.4 testing question in the other thread, https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/SAM-Documents/Orion-Server-2020-2-templates/ta-p/594548. I'll see what I can find out about your active/standby question.
  • @"kbswcon" The "unofficial" Orion Server 2020.2 templates referenced in this thread have not been formally tested with Orion Platform 2019.4. I checked with one of our top SAM Support reps, who said that those templates should work on earlier versions though, starting with 2017.3. The SAM Application Engineer (AE) that…
  • To learn more about this widget in the latest WPM documentation, see: * Player Load Percentage (WPM online help) * Manage transaction locations in WPM (SolarWinds Success Center) Per the Scalability Engine Guidelines for WPM, SolarWinds recommends limiting the number of monitored transactions assigned to a WPM Player to 12…
  • Azure, along with the Azure app that you register, are required for this template.
  • Even if your Orion instance is in Azure, the SAM template needs something on the Azure side -- the app -- to connect to.
  • The "Sample App" shown in the screenshots is the Azure Active Directory (AD) app that you need to deploy/configure to provide access to the Orion Platform so the Office 365 templates have read-access to Azure data. Essentially, you need to create an "app" in Azure so that Azure provides access to the PSMSGraph module when…
  • Thank you for the feedback, Danielle. SAM integrates with THWACK to support the sharing of templates among SAM customers, but SolarWinds did not create this particular template so it's not part of our official documentation. You can identify supported templates by the "Created by" label, SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. For…

  • Are you trying to disable a component monitor that is part of an AppInsight template, such as AppInsight for IIS? Due to the complexity of those templates, there are some component monitors that cannot be disabled, nor can you change default settings. Also, please note that AppInsight applications consume licenses at flat…
  • Per the Orion 2018.2 Release Notes, SolarWinds upgraded Orion certificates to support SHA-256 in the Orion Platform 2018.2 release, which correlates to NCM 7.8 and later.

  • You're on SAM 6.9.0 so I assume you have component-based licensing, as opposed to the new node-based licensing. Are you running any AppInsight applications? They each consume licenses for 30 to 50 component monitors because they're specially designed for in-depth monitoring. Check out component-based license information in…
