As you've said, you'd point the AppInsight for SQL at the SQL VIP. The way Windows clusters works is that any event logged is usually logged to both machines courtesy of the cluster services. That being said, it means that you could point the cluster failover app monitor at the VIP as well because it should pick up any…

Which Apache template are you using? It looks like it has a perl dependency that you may not have, or it isn't properly called out in the script. If you can provide a link to the template, we can look at it and see what's going on.

Ahh, I'm not crazy. I had this happen to me yesterday too. I've not had a chance to dig into it yet, but you're not alone. I'll do some trouble shooting and see what comes up, and open a ticket if necessary.

Unless you are monitoring the service specifically, SAM doesn't have a way to tell you what the state was as it wasn't looking for it. The best you can probably do is look at the Windows event logs for start/stop of the services. That said, now you know it's an important process, time to setup a monitor and alert for it.

Have you tried opening the script in the SAM editor and testing it to see if you get more detailed errors showing rather than just the output are undefined? By that I mean finding your component, telling it to test it against the host you want with the arguments you are expecting. This usually throws out all the errors…

I'm assuming you mean as an alert action? In which case, absolutely. The sample given in the Success Center provides just one example of using the APMServiceControl.exe application and passing in the component ID. You should be able to click on the "Insert Variables" to pass in whatever variables you want.

The problem you have with creating the alerts in SolarWinds is that without the database, the alert engine cannot poll for alert statuses. We had a similar issue with MSMQ problems a while back (see here). Somebody came up with a crafty solution using VB and simple task scheduler, which can be found here. You'll probably…

How do you plan on passing in the node names? Have you tried to write anything yourself yet? If so, what do you have?

It looks like you're executing curl, but not capturing the output. This likely means that the output is being sent to SolarWinds, resulting in the error that is being shown. Does the output from the curl command return formatted data that SolarWinds is expecting? If not, and all you are doing is executing the command to…

First thing is when I hear "out of the blue", I always wonder what changed. Do you have a screen shot of the original alert? Can we get one of the new alert, and a host it should be triggering on? Do you have anything in the "alert suppression" tab? One of the things I usually do when troubleshooting alerts is take it all…

What are you monitoring it for? That the remote user/app can access the folder? I'm fairly sure there are templates that can be used to access a folder to see if it's reachable. Or are you trying to monitor for access from people that shouldn't be accessing it?

Your alert conditions should say something like this: Trigger Alert when all of the following apply "Volume Percent Used" is greater than 95 Trigger Alert when ANY of the following apply "Volume Caption" is equal to "/" "Volume Caption" is equal to "C:" The other option is to base it off of warning/critical conditions, and…

1. Often. 2. Depends on the data points, and types, and situation. - Ticket Tracker - OneNote - NotePad++ - Multiple browsers (performance captures, SAM, etc)

How this is done is entirely dependent on the platform on which it is running. What operating system are you using? What HBAs are involved?

Monitor what in Office 365? Office 365 encompases pretty much all of Microsoft's cloud hosting for Lync, Exchange, SharePoint, Office, and the likes. What is it you are expecting to monitor? What are you trying to monitor? One thing to consider, based on the fact that Office 365 is so huge, and everybody will be using it…

Jacked up? RAID array is part of the hardware features, and not something added via a template. It's also only a feature supported on some hardware platforms with the necessary agents installed. To add it you have to click on "list resources" on the node itself, and if you have the right features enabled on the host, it'll…

I had a similar issue come up with writing out the acknowledge URL. The value is stored in the "Websites" table in the SolarWinds database. select * from Websites update Websites set ServerName='solarwinds', port=443 where WebsiteID=1 Let me know if that works for you.

There are a couple of things that are wrong here. The first is that the script that you are writing is being executed on the SAM poller server, not directly on the server running XenApp. It may be possible to execute the XenApp PowerShell commands directly from the SAM poller host, if they support remote connections. If…

I've seen similar issues with IIS, but never with SolarWinds. It has come up in the past for us when a worker process hadn't closed down properly, and cleaned up its temp files and was still hanging out in the background. You could try recycling the app pool, that can sometimes force IIS to rebuild any dynamic stuff, and…
