Adam is on the right track here. The best way to do that is with the purpose built SSL component checks in SAM.

The latest RC which features a new Chromium based browser engine went live today for customers under active maintenance: WPM 3.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 NOW AVAILABLE! What's New in WPM 3.0 - Chromium Based Recorder and Player

Nodes are one big bucket and they are additive... In other words instead of being limited to 250 nodes you should now have 950. You don't need to do anything to move or recover those node licenses as they are all part of one big pool. NPM and SAM both have access to the new larger pool.

That often means the given counter is corrupt or missing on the target server. Can you open Perf Mon locally on that server and see the metric in question? If not you may need to look at Microsoft documentation regarding repair of perf monitors.
-
If those were recorded with the old recorder and nothing else about them has changed other than the version upgrade, they should just happily continue on as they were before the upgrade. If that problem seems to be persisting I would ask that you open a ticket so the team can investigate.

When you are in Manage Nodes I don't believe you can use Groups as a grouping criteria. (As odd as that sounds ) Have you considered using Custom Properties for your logical groupings instead? They are actually a bit more powerful compared to the Groups and you can use CPs as a grouping in Manage Nodes: Why use custom…

The HTTPS component monitor includes an option for Host Header in cases where you have multiple sites answering on the same IP / Port So you could apply multiple HTTPS components to a single node
-
WPM is web based transactions only. The recorder is built around a browser engine so it is not capable of recording anything outside of websites.
-
Sorry for the delayed response. I missed this when it originally posted. My understanding is that the Service Now integration provides for this situation by simply updating the existing incident in SN rather than creating a net new one for each alert.
-
Yes, you can. In fact a lot of people do exactly that. When you are adding the VIP as a node be sure to de-select the non-shared resources. In other words, when List Resources runs don't monitor the C drive as that is actually the C drive of the current active node. Usually you will want to monitor each of the individual…
-
That is correct. The legacy syslog and trap features are replaced by Orion Log Viewer when you install Log Analyzer and the log monitor feature must be active on a node for syslogs to be captured from that node.
-
You would want to look at Network Performance Monitor (NPM). Hardware health for network gear is included and there is some extended stuff you can do with switch stacks: NPM 12.0 feature: SwitchStack monitoring - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Yep, that would be feature request territory. You can submit feature requests for voting here: Web Performance Monitor (formerly SeUM) Feature Requests

The key piece is this: "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible" Orion is attempting to connect to the database and is unable to do so. Verify there is connectivity to the SQL server Orion is configured to use. Some…

It appears this is currently "by design". I have entered SAM-7629 to track this issue.
-
Just taking a quick shot at this... You could create an alert that is based on a trigger of a node becoming un-managed that does nothing in the Trigger action but instead changes a custom property in the Reset Action (Reset condition would simply be when trigger is no longer true) Others may have a better suggestion but…
-
That is only possible if you have something external redirecting the traffic (WCCP for example) If the proxy settings are on the probe OS, i.e. in the browser config etc. then it can't be done and you would have to use the method suggested in the article linked below and create two paths. One from a probe on your laptop to…

We are currently building against Chromium: 69.0.3497.128

I do not believe the user experience component supports usage of custom properties as a variable unfortunately. I think you would have to use a custom script monitor instead which will allow you to use those as variables: SAM Script Component Monitors - Everything you need to know
-
Detailed stats can only be kept for 180 days before they are rolled up to hourly stats and eventually daily stats.
-
There are two possibilities I could think of that might help. The DNS User Experience monitor (SAM Component) might provide something useful: DNS User Experience monitor Or if you already have a good Power Shell script written you could consider modifying a little and simply use it in a Scripting Component in SAM: SAM…

You can look under Manage Applications - > Assigned Application Monitors and group by Node Name (screen shot below) also a quick visual indicator is to look at your All Applications resource and anything that is Grey rather than Red, Yellow or Green is likely not collecting data because it is not licensed.
-
I know you and I discussed this directly off of THWACK already but I thought I would add the answer here as well in case others have the same question and are searching here... Cloud based players will still work from any cloud service you choose. We chose to deprecate / remove the feature in WPM where you could directly…
-
Sorry to hear that. That is definitely not something we would consider a fact of life or normal. I realize you already went back to the snapshot and tried some other things so not %100 certain what state your install is in now but that would be something we would want to get a ticket open for so we can investigate and work…
-
I believe this was a known issue that has been resolved as of Orion Platform 2018.2 If you update SAM to 6.6.1 this should start working for you again. SAM 6.6.1 Release Notes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
-
It is not possible to override that behavior. Are you running the latest versions of all your modules etc? I ask because there have been some improvements made to the agents of late but obviously if you are behind on versions you wouldn't see that. All that being said, one option could be to simply schedule a task to…

The alert muting feature was just added with the latest round of releases: NPM 12.1 Release Notes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Glad to hear you like it!

There is an integration although at the moment it strictly works with ASP .Net applications on IIS https://www.solarwinds.com/resources/video/how-to-activate-application-performance-monitor-powered-by-appoptics-within-sam

Usually people use the "Condition must exist for more than "X"" feature in the alert logic for this. (screen shot below) Otherwise what you describe would likely have to be done in a custom SQL alert and even then I am not sure it can be done or would necessarily achieve your goal.
