I agree. Due to WPM's limited functionality I think that they would want to do something with the product to increase its market share. As it stands now it is not a full featured enterprise ready product because it has several major deficiencies. I am hoping that they will either buy or build a new product that could…

The Virtual Classrooms are great. Any new classes for 2015?

This is a good idea.

Any new training programs slated for Q2 2015?

This would be a good feature to have.

Yes, this definitely would be a great feature to have!

Any new training programs coming soon...? A class on SAM with Powershell and something similar for *nix would be great.

Having support for other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome needs to be mandatory. Case in point: All of our web applications are built using Firefox, not IE and so for us this is causing a big problem. I hope in version 2.2 that WPM will work with other browsers. Thanks, Gino

There are environments where SNMP is disabled so using an agent or other methods to gather data are the only options that are available. I worked at places where HP Openview was used and using an agent (OMx) was not mandatory and in some cases it was not practical or doable. (Sitescope, NNM, etc.) You have the option of…

Having a monitoring agent for Linux/Unix is necessary. Agent-less monitoring can only do so much.

For node reboot alerts there should be other criteria besides SNMP being restarted. NPM could also look at uptime and maybe log files are well. It could also do a ping to verify that the node is really offline or not. Maybe this could be added for node down verification before an alert is generated. HTH, Gino

This would be a great feature for overall node and alerting information and would be very useful.

This is a good idea.

This would be a very useful and helpful feature as everyone has mentioned. Plus as Will said, adding the user would be even better. Any "who did what..." feature is a good thing to have.

Maybe Solarwinds can use a two-tiered approach. Tier1: WPM for basic (IE only) web transactions. Tier2: For more complex web transactions (As Joe mentioned) use SeleniumHQ or JMeter or some other open source tool that supports multiple browers and includes functionality that is not included in WPM. Since these open source…

Any new product blog updates on WPM? WPM version 2.2 has just been released.

I have been able to get 30 day eval licenses for our products. Solarwinds has been very helpful to us in this area. I have to explain to them why I need an eval license every time but it's worth it because I cannot test any upgrades, etc. without it. That being said it would be a big help to us and everything if something…

Hi, If you could dig up the syntax that would be a big help. (I am a newbie when it comes to powershell). Many thanks to you and aLTeReGo for all of your help. Gino

Hi, Yes, I ran the command string on the Orion server (main poller), I checked the output and it works fine. Thanks, Gino

Leon/Joshua, Here is what I am trying to accomplish with powershell. On a remote windows server check for the following - If free disk space is less then 5% on any volume Run a batch file. It would be great if the powershell script could perform some kind of error checking as well. Note: The batch file itself contains…

Hi aLTeReGo and ZZamazal, Yes, that is the answer that I am looking for. Thank you both for your help. -Gino

This is the soution that worked for us. As fredrikalausson stated it is a permissions problem on the folder that prevents the certs from being created. The permissions on the "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys" folder needed to changed because the agent install did not create the certifcates. Here is a link…

Hi David, We actually made this change in our environment - Moved UDT devices from an additional poller over to our primary poller (very low polling/reduced traffic). We did not install NPM 11.0.1 Hotfix4 in our production environment because when we tested it in our dev environment it did not make a difference. >1.…

Hi, So instead of trying to run a batch script that is located on the remote server I should run the commands (there are placed in the batch script) from the powershell script itself? Thanks, -Gino

Hi, Yes. I did create a SOAP monitor but it is not working (I have a support case open). So as an alternate solution I decided to look at running a script instead. If I could run a script that would solve my problem. I would prefer to use the SOAP monitor but if using a script works then that would be fine. Thanks, Gino

Leon, Thank you for your suggestions and help. Could you point me in the right direction as to how I could code this in powershell? I haven't used powershell before and that is why I used vbscript. Thanks, -Gino

The error message "The client certificate does not contain a valid UPN" may be caused by an invalid Solarwinds Agent certificate on the node. These steps may help to resolve this issue: Uninstall the Solarwinds Agent Remove the Solarwinds Agent certificates Re-install the Solarwinds Agent Attached is a word doc that shows…
