This is part of a blog post that's been a long time coming, but I haven't quite had time to finish: Setup the Mobile Admin Server to Send Push Notifications The Mobile Admin mobile client has the ability to receive mobile push notifications to alert you of critical activity occurring in your IT environment. Before setting…

Hi Andy, In the current version of the product, the Top 10 Interfaces by % Utilization is the only Top 10 that is available. Please leave your feedback on the Idea Forum if you'd like to see additional functionality.

Hi eperko, Yes, its the average over that 15 minutes. But just to be perfectly clear, there is no "latency" metric that we can poll from the device. The Latency calculation we use for VNX was given to us directly by EMC and is an extremely complex algorithm of about 15 different counter values that we pull from the SMI-S…

Hi kolev, This is a known issue with the 6.0 release that is under active investigation. Please file a ticket with SolarWinds support so that we can include you in validating the fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Chuck16, The statistics in the report are from the previous 7 days worth of data. So Average CPU % Busy is averaged over the last 7 days and Max CPU % Busy is the highest spike over the previous 7 days. Hope that helps!

Hi dclick, I would also recommend checking out these two posts on the upcoming VMAN 6.1 release: * Virtualization Manager 6.1 Beta * Virtualization Manager 6.1 Beta 3 Let me know if you are looking for something more specific.

Can you please clarify your question, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking? If you are in an eval, I recommend you direct your questions to your Sales Representative as they will be able to provide you a full answer to your inquiries. Alternatively - you can reference some of the material here for Storage Manager and…

Hi Simon, Never fear, there is active investigation ongoing on your Support case. It looks like you'll need to increase Orion's polling timeout for that particular vCenter. Best to keep working with Support on making that change. Let me know if you don't see movement there.

Hi en zed, If you don't want to worry about managing the hardware or tuning the software, Papertrail is a possible solution for you. Papertrail SolarWinds SaaS-based syslog server product. It may meet your needs and can definitely handle bursts of that size (and more) from a single customer or source.

Hi rupdegraff, The most common event that you will see when there are collection issues is a "data archive window exceeded" event show up in Event Monitor. Basically, this indicates that the agent has filled up it's local data cache and has been unable to send data back to the main server for storage in the database.…

Hi benwaynet, The feature you are referring to we refer to internally as "parameterized dashboards." It did not make it into the 6.1 release, but is still very much on the list. And don't worry, we definitely have not forgot about the customers that haven't deployed Orion in their environments, as there are still a couple…

Hi ctmidnight, We don't have such a document, although this has been a popular question on Thwack: Re: Virtualization Manager Re: What is difference between Virtualization Manager and NPM Virtualization Tab? Re: IVIM versus Virtualization Manager In summary: 1) IVIM is good for basic up/down status and provides a couple of…

Wrong forum. Moving to NTA forum.

Hi bp423, We are monitoring demand closely for VMware Horizon View specific use cases we can solve with our products. To that end, instead of just listing the objects you want monitored, can you help me understand what problems this would help you solve? Note that there are a couple of requests on the Idea Forum already…

Hi Safwan, Yes, SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor can absolutely monitor the EMC VNX family of devices. You can see details of what that support looks like in our live Orion Demo - http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/SRM/ArrayDetailsView.aspx?NetObject=SMSA:4 VNX support includes block and file side monitoring of…

Do you have 6.1.1 deployed? We had a problem with On-Demand Reports being broken in 6.1 that was fixed in 6.1.1. If it's still broken in 6.1.1, do you have an open ticket with support so we can track this down?

As of VMAN 6.1, if your server is online, you can deactivate your license on the license management page: For any version of VMAN, If you run your server in offline mode (i.e. it cannot connect to SolarWinds hosted licensing server) you will need to contact Customer Service.

Hi Ben, I'll need to look at what is required of us on the Engineering side to allow this to happen (if anything). It looks like a fine suggestion though. I'll add it to the roadmap.

Hi byrona, This is the first request I've seen for SolidFire. Storage Manager does not yet support SolidFire, but we interested in hearing feedback about this from the broader community. As always, requests for new array support can be made on our Idea Request Forum and they will be tracked for possible inclusion in future…

Hi Kevin, Can you use this report to accomplish what you're looking for? SRM Virtual Server Mapping

Hi jabd@dgs.com, A fix that has been verified with customers is currently being rolled into a HotFix for STM 5.7.2. It will also be included in the 6.0 GA release.

Hi Jimmy, If you do not yet own the product (and thus no support), I recommend you reach out to your sales rep to speak with a Sales Engineer. They can provide full support for you in this type of situation. If you are not sure who your sales rep is you can contact sales@solarwinds.com as well.

Hi danblee, Storage Manager Server and Agents can be installed on VM's; however, I would not recommend installing it on your vCenter server or any other heavily used production server like Orion. Choosing between a physical and virtual server for the Storage Manager install really comes down to the size of your planned…

Hi mercutio879, Are you monitoring these hosts via vCenter? It's not recommended that you monitor hosts directly if they are managed by a vCenter. Also, are you using Virtualization Manager or the lightweight virt module inside of NPM/SAM?

Hi Jordan, First of all, no need to apologize. This is a perfectly acceptable feature request and it's through these kinds of details our Product Teams get the information we need to make sure we are building the features you need. So, thanks for the request and the details, this is all helpful! If I may shed some light on…

Hi redhawk15, You might check to see if your issue is related to this: Data collection fails for some vCenter Servers after upgrading to Virtualization Manager 6.1.1. vCenter's that have been upgraded from 4.0 or below are affected by a short (non-secure) certificate.

All, VMAN 6.1 is now GA. VMAN 6.1 RC3 is the GA release, so no need to upgrade if you're already on RC3. Thanks to everyone for participation in the RC program!

Hi Koby, No, there is no API for Storage Manager at this time. What data are you trying to get out of the product?

Hi Simon, NPM, SAM, and VMAN are 3 different products in the SolarWinds portfolio. The alerting and collection engines between the products are different and one product does not (generally) tell another product whether or not to alert on something. There are some sublteties here I'm overlooking, but that's generally how…

Hi Scott, This type of escalation alert management was exactly the use case under which SolarWinds developed the FREE Alert Central product - Alert Central - Free Alert Management Software by SolarWinds. You can intelligently manage Alert Escalation paths and route alerts based upon content all from a single console for…
