There are three HTTP monitor components that are out of the box that should be able to do some of this. HTTP Form Login Monitor, HTTP Monitor and HTTPS Monitor. They also have the ability to use a search string and authenticate. They have URLs for how to set them up in each monitor. Even outside of that if it doesn't quite…

I can't find the article at the moment and could probably walk you through it if we were on a call, but if you have active maintenance it should be quick enough to have Support help you with it.

I'm not sure this is comprehensive, but here are some things that I know would be gotchas (you may want to reach out to Support if you're still having issues or want a more comprehensive list): * Traffic needs to be able to flow to and from the machine where Reports is installed to LEM on TCP port 9001. * Reports uses…

You can check that this is the same error by going to Enterprise -> WSUS servers and clicking on the WSUS server with the error. If it is the same thing, here's the KB that should help you resolve it: Patch Manager cannot retrieve the Update Server information - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Generally, this is how NTA works to resolve hostnames: How does default DNS resolution work in SolarWinds NTA? The timeframe is set in Settings -> All Settings -> Product Specific Settings -> NTA Settings -> DNS and NetBIOS resolution. One thing you may want to do is switch DNS Resolution from Persistent to On Demand and…

All other things being equal you should be able to inventory the top level WSUS server to get the information. It should only take a few hours (at most) to test this for your environment, and most of that will happen in the background when you set up and run the inventory. There are a lot of moving parts on the WSUS side…

As I understand it, the VID is provided to a USB manufacturer from the USB Implementers Forum: USB.org - About USB-IF The PID is set by the vendor. Similar function as to a MAC address for networking devices. There are some instances where I've seen a port number would be affixed to the end of the device, something like…

Looks like this is more of an NPM feature rather than a SAM one and it uses up to six months of history: Forecast capacity for nodes, interfaces, or volumes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC.

There's no built-in process to roll back a hotfix or upgrade that I'm aware of. Hotfix 7, for example, doesn't have any rollback instructions, but directs you to reach out to Support. My advice would be as you suggested: snapshots/checkpoints (at a minimum), but a full backup if you can. As for the log data portion: Agent…

You'll want to follow this process: Success Center

Adding this because I found this thread while reviewing something similar: We had a situation where from the Node Details page we could see everything, but for some reason there were no applications listed. If you clicked on the Applications tab you could see the assigned templates. For us it was the .NET cache: Clear .Net…

I seem to be having the same issues. I tried with your script and got the same results. As a second test, I did what you presumably did and took the Unmanage Node sample script from GitHub which works fine and altered it to do the same for applications and though it reports success it doesn't seem to do anything. Response…

I would suggest reviewing the account permissions for Unamanage Objects and Mute Nodes, but the permissions set should be the same. It's hard to tell from the context of your screenshot, but it looks almost like you're in a database in an AppInsight template instead of the node itself, I may have spent a lot of time in…

OK, want to start at this from the top a bit and see what we can figure out: According to your posts you have these group policy settings set: * Configure Automatic Updates - Enabled, Option 5 which would let Admins schedule their own time. * Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation (which requires the above be…

If you're monitoring the node directly you can edit node (where you'd change the polling method, etc) and update the polling thresholds directly: If you're only polling it as a VM it looks like you can update CPU, memory and network utilization, but not response time from what I can see.

I want to leave the conversation for the wider batch of customers who might be using FIM on their desktop machines, but you will want to be mindful of how it's configured for your Workstations as any type of file auditing can generate a much larger than expected number of events. I would suggest two things at a high level:…

If you double click on that message is there any other detail? It looks like this could be attributed to timeout errors in WSUS and there are a few links that I found just from a general search on "LocalDBOtherError": How can I increase the timeout period for WSUS sync between secondary sites and the primary? Software…

I believe the information you're looking for is in the tables at the top of the article, it sites ServerType as "AdditionalPoller" alongside AdditionalWebsite and others.

If you're looking to set up alerting based on netflow my understanding is that you will want to use NTA which is a module of the Orion platform. LEM has some netflow capabilities, but I don't think you can alert or report on them.

Hello Keith, You can do this a couple of ways via Orion reporting. If you have NTA IP Address Groups set up for your needs already, this KB article will take you through how you might set up your report: Create a custom report for IP address groups Otherwise you can create a report that uses Custom Properties: Create a…

The default template is using powershell to poll this information, if you run the script directly on the machine to the outputs match? It looks like it's querying the local update information and just processing the date from that. If the outputs don't match you'll want to check how the monitor is configured. Are you…

Most of the Adobe packages, including Acrobat and Reader, come from the Adobe catalog directly (which is included by default). The only notable exception to this that I can think of is Flash. Hopefully Adobe will keep updating their catalog, or perhaps there will be a new catalog for those packages, but that will be the…

Two things come to mind: * Is the response time actually being polled via ICMP or is it SNMP? How Orion calculates the polling response time using SNMP and ICMP - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support * If the node is actually down, then it seems like something else might be going on there. Duplicate IP assignment?…

Getting more detail is going to be key here. Firstly you will want to check the connector to make sure it's started. If it is you can use the test e-mail button to generate a test. If it comes back successful the issue is likely with the rule configuration or something else (server is blocking the email, etc). If you don't…

I don't recall having a ballpark on the GB size on disk of approved updates, usually it's not as big of an issue as the database getting overly large and slowed down. Reading this, I recalled an older set of articles that I've used in the past to troubleshoot and gauge for WSUS timeouts, but I'm not sure how much of that…

Not sure I would say never, it is on the roadmap: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-176951#start=25

For servers I'd always recommend the agent first, then WMI/SNMP for native OS polling for Windows/Linux respectively. The agent is a bit more lightweight than WMI/SNMP and can utilize fewer resources overall. It does introduce something else that may go wrong as now you add a layer with the agent, have to keep it updated,…

If you did what I just did and left the NodeID field in and hidden it will effect your results unless you also want to include the node ID. If you just want to see what the destinations, ports and the count of those are, this is what I did just with the GUI interface: Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for, but…

Hello dermax, maybe you can give some information: Advanced is the way that you would install Patch Manager's database to another location. If you're trying to install SQL Express on a D drive or something like that, I believe you can get that installed separately and point to the SQL Express instance, but to my knowledge…
