I know the feature request has been out here for a while. How many of you that have commented or voted for it are now migrating to the SharePoint SaaS offering?

Help! Take our containers (Docker, Kubernetes, etc) survey by 1/31 and get 500 THWACK Points

If you like RC's as well, you will get a chance soon.

Yes, I actually worked on one of these. Not this particular one so the picture isn't mine. You really only used the switches to cold boot it to the point where the teletype would work, then you typed hex numbers into the keyboard to boot to the point where the card reader would work, then you loaded a HUGE deck of cards to…

I just did a download off the Solarwinds website and install and got 6.4.0. Not sure how you got 6.2

John, I think the answer is yes and no. Do you have the credentials for an account with the "reader" role to access Azure control plane data? If so then you may be able to get your Azure administrator to create an application in Azure and link it to the subscription. They will have to give you the information about the…

here's an idea. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it. redirect stdout and/or stderr at the beginning of your script. Go look at the file and see if you are actually getting messages or error messages when you run it Info on doing the redirects in python I found here: Redirect stdout to a file in Python? - Stack Overflow This…

Very enlightening. That was indeed what I was looking for.

Where I was heading was just successfully passing data and being sure that connectivity is good and that passing simple values works. That ensures that the agent is working ok and all the plumbing is ok. Sounds like you've done that, so now we're down to the external Adafruit_DHT module. I'm assuming that the python path…

I tried to use this page to install an agent on a cloud instance. As it turns out, port 17790 is the correct port for server-initiated communication with the agent. I'm putting this here just in case someone follows this thread in the future.

Adding the cloud server as a node doesn't reduce the polling. It just collects additional information as a node. If you're getting too many polling requests, you can reduce the frequency of CloudWatch polling by editing your cloud account and scrolling down to the CloudWatch Instance Polling Frequency field. The default is…

If you are monitoring your linux server you should see volume information on the server. You can also set alerts when a volume is down.

I assume you have the agent installed and are managing the pi as a node with the agent. Correct? Does it work with a simple bash script returning a couple of values?

I did a quick search and it looks like this might be your easiest option. I admit that I haven't tried it, so your mileage may vary. https://hub.docker.com/r/digiwhite/snmpd/

Would it be helpful if a script component monitor accepted JSON or XML formatted output? If so, which would you prefer?

Web servers are actually a pretty typical use case for autoscaling. There are a few considerations though. Traffic coming into the web server - You've got to use something to get the requests into the servers. Probably a virtual load balancer. The autoscaling has to be able to put the new server into the load balancer's…

I sent you an email for more info. What version of SAM are you running?

When you say that the actual CPU utilization is less, how are you determining that? Is this a virtual machine or cloud server? Is it monitored as a node? There are some cases where virtualization or cloud will report virtual CPU utilization in a completely different manner than an agent or a user at the keyboard. Basically…

Assuming you can communicate with the servers you could manage your AWS instances as nodes without SAM 6.4, but you won't get any info from the AWS API. As you mentioned, they will just look like a remote computer somewhere.
