Removing old volumes is a no-brainer. ...mucho goodness. I think a setting that enables auto-importing of volumes should only be used if conditional filtering can be applied to the resulting automation within the product. case in point: Big thing for us is that when a windows cluster group is picked up in discovery, it…

Will sessions be recorded for viewing afterwards? I've registered and RSVP'd, but have some fires burning that might require me to miss a couple of them

some folks would refer to this as a "watchdog" service. brilliant idea. Tivoli's ITM product had one.

Additionally: If an auto-remove solution is not immediatly doable, two smaller modifications would be hepful interim-updates: 1) ACCURATE reporting of volumes on node view. Currently, I will see a green dot next to a volume that has not seen an update in months. ..it is green because the last time it was polled four months…

Ditto what Leon said. I won't dismiss the idea completely, but for myself, a quick SAM monitor that polled via SNMP for something simple and standardized, per machine type, was all I needed to implement. For us, ICMP reports node is absolutely up/down, SNMP SAM monitor alerts when SNMP polling has become adversely affected…

DHS Emergency Directive 21-01 says affected versions are 2019.4 through 2020.2.1 HF1. https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/21-01/ Conflicts with how SolarWinds's advisory reads.

The good news: successfully pulling data off of the DHT11/Rasp Pi into SolarWinds 8-) The less good news, I suppose my post should actually be clarified as a need for understanding the reasoning behind why the script DOES work in the SAM component, just as it does in interactive putty session, but *seems to not work as…

Thank you very much, Petr !

Executing via .py file in session: Executing same script in SAM template with import not commented out, but call to the module commented out: Executing same script in SAM template with import not commented out and call to the module not commented out:

the environment and path questions you describe are exactly the initial things I seek to validate and understand in my efforts of troubleshooting this one.

along the lines of what Mark mentioned, what preceded my post here is the fact that we had been working with SolarWinds Support on a case for the past four weeks, during which members of the dev team joined us on our Webex sessions...the word we are receiving is that the "free" APE is only free if you purchase the NAM…

no, I've not yet discovered how to enable the individuals that pretty much live in the reporting to be able to edit reports other than using a remote desktop session on the server. Didn't find anything really relevant to the question in the referenced doc either.

Is there an error thrown to any log file when the scheduled "attempt" to perform the maintenance fails? Way to verify that it truly even attempted to run at the default 2:15AM ?

The output does not match requirements of what SAM is expecting, I suspect, because the script is exiting unexpectedly early, hence, my need for understanding why it is doing so. I do have these two lines immediately after the humidity/temp stat lines: print "Statistic.TEMP2: 3\n" print "Message.TEMP2: 4\n" If I comment…

yes sir, agent installed, though I have tried the template both 'Agent' and 'Agentless' modes of "Preferred Polling Method:". I've not tried bash yet because I'd like to exhaust reasonable effort to understand why it's failing, considering that the code works flawlessly, without error when called by python and oh yeah, and…

aLTeReGo's answer is 100% accurate. I'll just say this though... I think it is extremely counter-intuitive to purposefully, by design, have an item listed within a node's 'Applications' resource that says "Windows Scheduled Tasks", appears clickable when hovered over, and produces a…

correct to say that this(using ${Caption} or some type of variable in perf counter component) is still not a thing?

TY very much!

Here is the response I am getting from SolarWInds support: (Case # 1018792) The query you had about re-opening closed incidents would be out of our support boundaries Service Now is not officially supported by NPM as per the article below:…

Thanks for the reply, aLTeReGo. We do already heavily utilize custom properties on applications. Where I differ in opinion with you, is in your assertion that custom properties is a better candidate for achieving what I am trying to accomplish, unless of course, you saying that purely in the context of the description…

The debug output for mine (polling via agent) was here: /opt/SolarWinds/Agent/bin/appdata/Logs/ApplicationLogs/Appidxxxxxx

No, no outputs are defined in the template. The only way I know how to create them via the script execution mechanism in the edit-template interface, which is where the error is being encountered.

Does this remain the current, most efficient way to get a node added to a group outside of manual addition and dynamic query mechanism? A built-in 'Add Node to Group' Alert Action would be the bag of chips to the 'all that' of assigning SAM templates via group membership.

Is it in the works to somehow be able to customize which Custom Properties are displayed in the popup for nodes? I'm not asking that more than five should be displayed, but we have at least 15 custom properties, some of which are very useful to 'console' users, some of which used primarily for facilitating…

Perhaps(maybe), this is what you are looking for? Create a Group of Nodes alert, using a Custom property to Identify Group name and Group Member Name With Variables - Sol…

get that component to only show an up-status if there are 0 locked accounts? I use a PowerShell scrip for this one. My implementation only looks at a single OU in Active Directory, but if it finds an account(our multiple) locked, it delivers a count of how many, and the list of accounts locked as the statistic/message. If…

I'd like to know what your outcome is as well. I've had a case open with SW Support for about six weeks now on the issue. We haven't gotten much farther than validating .Net environment and repair install of C++ redist, but mine are SWJobEngineSvc2.exe on agents, so... large number of agents on which application polling is…

So, I've made progress, moving past the "...error processing request...." and can execute the script, which utilizes some modules outdise of what is included in the base Raspbian(Stretch) image from raspberry.org, without error when I select "agentless" in the template. It is when I switch the execution preference to…

I had the exact same issue as you. When AppInsight for MS SQL was first released, we applied it to three less-critical servers. CPU on one of the three leaked up to 100% over the course of a week. We could reproduce it all day long, removing, then adding back the template onto the server. After upgrading SAM to v6.1.1, we…
