Hello, is your script doing something special why you couldn't use native 'HTTP Form Login Monitor' in APM? What IE version is installed on the Orion box? If it's not the latest, could you try to upgrade it? It looks like errors are not handles in the script correctly. If you run the script manually from command line and…

I agree with Brandon, that you should open a support ticket. We'll need to look at the log files to figure out what is going wrong.

Could you share with us which specific .NET updates you applied? Was one of them http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974893 ? what was the other one? Thank you

APM currently does not support extensibility by using custom .NET plugins - we don't expose any API to do that. That's why Orion SDK won't help here, it's just not supported. I agree with Roger, that if default set of monitors in APM doesn't suit your needs, then only option is to write a script that will do what you want…

POP3 User Experience Monitor behaves the same way like MAPI User Experience Monitor. It also deletes the message from POP3 server after it successfully confirms it was delivered.

We have seen something similar (but probably not exactly the same) and it was resolved when customer applied this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974893 Other thing that comes to my mind is that if you are using Windows Service Monitor in WMI mode (it's possible to set this option on Application Edit page in APM…

You can rename the application (on application edit page) so it has a different name than its template. Then you can setup alert to trigger only for applications with specific name.

Nothing has changed yet. We are tracking this as Feature Request now in our internal tracking system (case 69428)

Could you try to update config file as described in this KB ? If you set it to BulkRow with bulk size 10 it will significantly reduce number of SNMP queries and it should decrease the load on the server. Other than that - did you consider trying to upgrade net-snmp to latest version?

'Web Link' monitor is used to verify all hyperlinks from that page. So it seems that there are really some links to those "random" URLs. 'HTTP Monitor' is used to verify that web server responds and send some page back for specified URL (it doesn't follow hyperlinks on that page) so maybe it would be more appropriate for…

I would recommend to use UNION of several SELECT statements instead of using CASE to grab value from appropriate table. For example below is SQL statement to load active alerts for applications and components: SELECT ast.TriggerTimeStamp AS AlertTime, Nodes.NodeID AS NodeID, Nodes.Status AS NodeStatus, Nodes.Caption AS…

Sometimes IIS recycles w3wp.exe process and at that time, you could have two processes running for the same pool, even though it is set to only have 1 in IIS settings. Could you check processes (in Task Manager for example) to verify the real number of running w3wp.exe processes? This information should correspond with…

General way how to see if the scheduler is overloaded would be to have a look at CPU load on Orion box to see if CPU is maxed out or barely doing anything. This error could be caused by overloaded polling engine, but there can be also other reasons - like sometimes polling of Performance Counter data over WAN could be very…

That '64 bit enabling checkbox' is on Add/Edit Node page and is not related to this issue. APM shows values, which are retrieved from WMI. Currently APM runs as 32bit process and Windows reports back max. 4 GB incorrectly.

I would suggest to use performance counters. Have a look at machines, where SQL server instances are installed and you will there are several Performance Counter categories for each specific SQL server instance. You can select counters from those appropriate categories to get per-instance information.

Hello, SAM invokes the scripts by running a cscript.exe and passing everything on the command line as if you would run it on the command line manually. I've tried to install ActiveRuby 1.8.7 on Windows 2008 R2 x64, but I'm unable to get it work properly with Windows Script Host (cscript.exe). What Windows…

I mean command line arguments like c:\process.exe /some_specific_argument_to_identify_instance If there is no specific argument specified, then it's not possible to distinguish various instances from each other (between polls). Because when process is restarted, it gets a new PID and it's not possible to match it against…

I would suggest to open a support case and reference this thread.

Please open a support case so we can work with you on this case directly.

If that doesn't fix the problem, please open a support ticket and reference this thread.

Yes, Remote Registry Service needs to be running. Because if Windows Service or Process Monitor is being polled in RPC mode, then we poll for performance counters associated with the service/process. And that is basically read through remote access to registry.

APM doesn't ship any default template to do that. But you can do that by using PowerShell Monitor or Windows Script Monitor and some custom script.

Yes, ideally you want to use the same database for both - NPM and SAM. That way you can benefit from integration between these product. As for your issue with database upgrade, I would recommend to open a support ticket. Support will need to delete old APM database objects and then Configuration Wizard will be able to…

Hello, this should be possible by adding advanced alert for objects 'IPAM Nodes' with conditions 'Status' is equal to 'Used' Lease Expiration is empty OR Lease Expiration is '' (empty string) Type equals to 'Dynamic' Please note, that this will generate SQL statement, which will scan table with IPs, which can contains lot…

What browser are you using? Did you try with Firefox 3.x?

The problem with editing applications, which are assigned to lot of nodes, is fixed in later APM version. As workaround, you could edit the web.config file (c:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\APM\web.config) and increase the following value (if the maxRequestLength is not present in web.config file, you will need to add it):…

HTTP Monitor can monitor any URL, not just URL consisting of node's IP address. You can input 'www.google.com' if you like. Just change it to whatever you like in Edit Application page.

Unfortunately it's not possible to do that either :/

It seems something has changed on that Windows box. Maybe someone changed privileges for community string used by Orion?
