So I ended up creating a custom SAM application based upon the Windows Failover Cluster services. While it is not exactly what I was looking for it works for the DBA team and our Patching team to ID if there are issues. So it is not exactly monitoring a SQL AG but it gives us the visibility that we need.

We are looking into Telephony monitoring and working on sending logs from a router to Orion so we can use it for alerting. Syslogs seem to be another key here. Thank you!!!!

I deleted the old APs off the heatmap and put them back, let it sit overnight and things are working now.

I did some updates and remapped the APs. I am going to let it sit over night and see if things generate correctly. I am down to the error 'Failed to poll access points/reference points'

So I went in and removed the two WLC from Wireless heat maps and put them back and nothing has changed. If I go to the map and try to regenerate them I get two errors - 1. Wireless Controller or Access Point used on the map isn't monitored by Orion anymore 2. Wireless Heat Map Poller is not enabled. If I go and check the…

Yes I am talking about heat maps in Network Atlas. I will disable and re-enable the services and see if it kicks things back off. 

I think we have one SQL 2000 that we are still monitoring through DPA. We have quite a bit of Magic running around here at times. I know bit of the legacy SQL is not officially supported in DPA. 

Yes Server 2003. I think it is running SQL 2000. I ran into the TLS issue on an 2008 R2 Windows box - it failed but we have other 2008 R2 Boxes in DPA. 

Thank you I will read them over and let you know. We are running DPA 2022.1.7777. 

Manage Alert Integration Instances. 

Ahhh that was the connection. I remember talking to someone about using the action as a template. This actually makes setting up ServiceNow INC creating easier than I thought. I can create actions per BU and then just apply that action to the alerts configured to that that BU and if we have to do any changes we can do it…

Thank you for the explanation. This what I was looking for. 

I found this article hopefully this may help - support.solarwinds.com/.../Display-Windows-event-log-messages-within-alert-email-in-SAM

Created a new user in AD and added to the Solarwinds Admin group. Tested logging into Orion and that account could get into Orion. Opened up Network Atlas and the domain user still did not work. Just for fun I created a new local test user in Orion and logged in locally it worked. Looks like local accounts work fine but…

Thanks! Working on getting a test account setup so I can do this. 

I go to login, it says connecting, then I get login failed due to user name and password combination. If I go to Orion and login the account does work. I had this issue awhile back and the work around I found was to use the local Solarwinds Admin Account.

I checked that first and it is enabled for the domain groups I have setup and for the Solarwinds local Admin account. 

Make sure the password is correct for the Admin account in Solarwinds. I still cannot get our regular user Admin accounts to work but we can get in now.

I started setting up test alerts out of Solarwinds to send over to our test instance of ServiceNow. So far so good but I know I am going to have questions. 

I reached out to our ServiceNow team and the Solarwinds Alert Integration was setup. We just never finished sending the alerts over to ServiceNow from Solarwinds. Starting to look at that now. 

We have had some issues recently with people ignoring drive space alerts and are looking to dump them into ServiceNow.. Our backups appliances send an email to ServiceNow and it generates a basic incident so it sounds like we can do the same with Solarwinds. Last time we looked at the App it cost quite a bit of money so…

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

I am trying to remember which issue this was. I am thinking it might have to be with the DNS servers that were assigned to the node. The node might have had some old DNS servers in them that was causing the issue. If it comes back to me I will let you know. 

That is kind of what I thought. Was hoping someone had worked some different kind of magic here. Thanks!!!!

You want me to login to my main polling engine with the service account? I am not sure what an IPAM server is. Thanks!

The local Windows DHCP account and the network DHCP account are both able to RDP to one of the DHCP nodes. They are named the same and have the same passwords. This has been a bit of a perplexing issue lol

Thanks! I am hoping 2022 is the year I can actually spend more time in SolarWinds Orion to learn these kind of things instead of changing hats 10x a day.. hahahahahaha

If I wanted a specific application would I change the "ApplicationName" to the specific application?

I will chat with the DBA team but we use Windows Authentication for most things here. Very few things user SQL auth. Thanks for your assistance so far.
