@"sturdyerde"I got the alert on the email like below: Component DHCP User Experience Monitor of Application "Windows DHCP Server" on PRODDC06-VM is currently in a state of "Down". 

Thanks.

How would you type the MFA text every 5 minutes when the Service account is polling every 5 minutes or so?

Do you separate the Solarwinds Network Monitoring components due to Licensing reason or just purely performance?

@"jan.rachwalik" Yes, it is the latest edition of the SAM Application Template. If you see the screenshot it is what it says But somehow doesn't do well since it keeps on bombarding me with the email alerts, while the actual M365 services are still intact.

Is there any risk or caveats when setting the threshold into 100%? I wonder if there are any monitoring components that will be STOP working when the license reach 100%. AFAIK, oversubscription or more than 100% is not possible even with the Application Monitor template, the last node will not be monitored.

Yes, you are right @"shuth" Edit Alert - "Remaining Licenses" This is an out-of-the-box alert. You can only add Trigger/Reset actions or Time of Day settings for this alert. Conditions can't be changed.

OK, Finally found it under: https://PRDMON01-VM.domain.com/Orion/APM/Admin/Edit/EditTemplate.aspx?id=227

@"shuth" thank you for the response. So if I have about 20+ domain controllers, does this requires AppInsight license x 20+ ?

Is this available on the SAM application Monitoring templates https://SW-MON/Orion/APM/Admin/ApplicationTemplates.aspx ?

Hi @"bobmarley" & @"brscott", When using the custom property with the name Critical, Business_Hours, Testing, do I add the value as = 1 or set it as True or Yes?

@"sturdyerde" Do we have to use the SAM Application Monitor template, or this can be set up without consuming AL license?

@"stevenstadel" so how do you install the agent? is it by push install via the OnPremise SolarWinds platform or manually double click the .EXE file inside the Azure VM.

Hi, @"TerryHarding" Do I have to manually create the Application Template myself or can I find it in the Shared Templates on Thwack? How much is the SAM license consumed when I create it my own?

Is that a free solution or costing some $$$$ ?

@"vinay" Which SQL database maintenance job that you recommend to set up or run regularly as the best practice for SQL Server database maintenance?

Hi @"aLTeReGo", the step is not applicable to the Orion Platform v 2019.4 and above?

Do you require to use the VMAN license or Solarwinds SAM license?

Hi @"bkyle", Yes, in the AppInsight, what is the impact when some of the components that are part of the AD AppInsight is disabled or not enabled? I assume license wise it would still consume 50 SAM license.

Hi, @"jm_sysadmin" thanks for the reply and the explanation on this thread. Yes please, would you be able to share some example or tips on the Active Directory app alert that makes sense?

Yes, this is what I'd like to know and learn. Thank you very much for sharing it here.

hi, @"sum_giais" Thank you for the confirmation. After the SQL server DB .MDF and .LDF has been migrated off to another VM, can I completely uninstall any or all SQL server components in the main polling engine?

Hi @"sum_giais" This is on the Orion Website https://SW-MON01-VM.domain.com/Orion/SummaryView.aspx all of the date time stamp are displaying as mm/dd/yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy, hence it is quite confusing sometimes.

OK, what about the Active Directory Description attributes? Because it is hard to manually decipher or remember the server name - role when the alert triggers afterhours.

@"mesverrum", thanks for the suggestion. Will this method you suggested above not counting towards the VMAN CPU sockets?

Hi @"silverbacksays" , Is suggested method above can be combined with the PagerDuty alerting as well?

What about the alert polling interval, do you need to configure it as well?

Hi mprobus , I'm interested to use the Option #2. So I can just deploy: 1x vMAN appliance and 3x collectors appliance in one single location but monitoring each of their respective locations. would that be possible?

Nice, Thank you for the link on PD integration. is there any steps for setting the alerting that is suggested by Solarwinds as best practice via email?

bkyle thanks for the response. I've been inherited this environment so I need to know the steps by step or the procedure to add it. Where can I find that?
