Hello berger, I'm not sure what exactly are you doing. Can you please provide more information? - What monitor do you use? Is it Linux script monitor, Windows script monitor, ...? - How are you assigning it to nodes? Do you create application with that monitor and then try to assign it to nodes? - Can you post the script…

Hello Kevin, components in SQL Server Query template are "SQL Server User Experience Monitors". They run query against target SQL server so credentials that you specify must be valid for SQL server, not for Windows. Are you sure that username and password you use can be used to log in to SQL server (for example using SQL…

Hello Alex, WPM uses real web browser to run transactions so the traffic is the same as if you open web browser and do the actions. So if you have WPM agent and QoE agent on the same box, QoE should see the traffic generated by WPM.

Hello freemen, I'm not sure that performance counters on Exchange 2010 are disabled by default but they can sometimes become unavailable. Check this article to see how to fix them.

Hello gbutler, unfortunately there is no workaround. Database field that holds message is only 250 characters long and even if you change it's length to more than 250 characters, message is trimmed in application so no more than 250 characters are stored. Included Windows Event Log Monitor component doesn't return event…

Hello lchance, for folder size monitor there is "Directory size monitor" but it can't alert you on size change, it can alert only if size is over or under some limit. Then there is "File Change Monitor". If you have some file in that folder that is always there and it's change is something you want to alert on, you can use…

Hello davebugg, you can "unmanage" transaction during specified time using "Unmanage Scheduling Utility" (Start -> All Programs -> SolarWinds Orion -> Advanced Features -> Unmanage Scheduling Utility). There you can schedule that transactions should be unmanaged every day between 12:00AM and 6AM. They won't be polled and…

Hello gork, what version of APM do you have? Starting APM 3.0 we suggest using new Performance Counter Monitor in Custom Component Monitors. It's intended for monitoring of performance counters on Windows computers. You can also try "Find Processes, Services, and Performance Counters" wizard in APM administration that can…

Hello Nigel, you can't set APM to poll as specific time, you can only define frequency of polling. However you could try to write VBScript that would get file age only between for example 5:59 AM and 6:01 AM and during other times it would just return UP. Then assign this script as Windows Script Monitor and set frequency…

Hello stevel, as you correctly noticed, monitor works only with specific file path. You can't use it to "search" for file. Can you tell me some use case for this feature? What kind of file do you need to monitor this way and why? You can use Windows Script Monitor with some custom VB script that would search for file and…

Hello Venkatesh, if you look at failure screenshot of the transaction in web console, does the page look the same as it looks in the recorded at that specific step? Is the element that it's trying to click on present on the page? Feel free to open a support case so that we can get diagnostics and look closely on your…

Hello, similar issue is described here: There is also solution for non-standard SQL port.

Hello Robert, if value that you need is really available through multiple methods (note that for example WMI process monitor gives you also Virtual memory value, which is not available through SNMP process monitor), then there is a "guideline" for which monitor you should use. SNMP is the best from reliability and speed…

Hello borgan, you can't assign custom description to component but you can have custom units for it, at least on gauges. Click on "Edit" button on "Component Statistics" gauge resource and there you can set custom units that will be displayed on the gauge. This feature is available since APM 3.5.

Hello, APM supports custom windows/linux scripts so you can use this feature to monitor log files in any way you need. You can write your custom script that suits your needs or you can look in "Content exchange" section of this site for any user-made templates for this.

Hello lchance, can you be more specific? What issues have you encountered and what happened?
-
Hello, APM has HTTP monitor but this monitor measures only time to page load (response time). You can measure direct file download time if you specify URL to file download. Pages such as Youtube load video in background and don't provide direct link to video file so you can't measure it this way. I'm not sure if there is…

Hello, WPM staggers transactions in batches distributed across up to 5 minutes. If you have for example 50 transactions, they are divided into 10 batches where each batch contains 5 transactions and there is 30 seconds delay between individual batches which makes together 10 * 30 seconds = 300 seconds = 5 minutes. However,…

Web interface runs under IIS as "SolarWinds NetPerfMon" website. Check that it's running and check that IIS does not report any errors etc. As you describe it, it seems that IIS itself is not working properly so it may be unrelated to SolarWinds.

Hello CEDee, you can use "SQL Server User Experience Monitor". Look at documentation here. Write query that returns value you are looking for, set warning or critical thresholds appropriately and then set alert on warning or critical state for this component.

Hello Bahlkris, is this happening always on all recordings or only on this particular one? If you for example create a simple recording against some public page and then try to edit it the same way, it the issues happening as well? Also try following. Instead of adding step and clicking on "Record", right click on last…

Hello, WPM downloads files to temp folder and deletes them once transaction finishes. When you have recorded the transaction, did you get a "File Download" dialog in WPM that asked you what do you want to verify? There are options to verify file name, file size etc. One option is also to actually download the file. If you…

Hello Bryan, you are right, there is no filter setting for this. I create internal issue tracked as CORE-903. Do you want to have multiple resources like this on a single page or do you want multiple pages? If you want multiple pages, you could use "View Limitations" to limit what's displayed.

WPM Player does not fully support PAC configuration scripts. We have seen this few times in environments with PAC scripts. The exact reason is not clear but it has something to do with how IE applies these scripts. WPM is by default using local accounts that never really log-in to the machine. Some settings are…
-
Hello Judd, you can use "Unmanage Scheduling Utility" shipped with WPM to schedule "unmanage" windows for WPM transactions. If a transaction is unmanaged it's not being executed so it does exactly what you need.
-
Hello, WPM player runs in virtual desktop with 1900x1200 resolution, however the actual size of the player window may be small. It does not resize the window unless you use XY mode. So in your case the simplest workaround would be: * Open Recorder and resize it to whatever size you want to have for playback. * Start…

Hello, The error message that you see on demo site is generated from default action name. this name is given to action during it's creation. When creating the recording, you can rename actions as you need so that it's clear which one failed. In general SEUM (now WPM) reports failures on a "step" level. Step is set of…
