  • I'd be interested in this feature for Office 365 monitoring if another session like this happens.
  • This was the best I could ever get out of those monitors... SSL Certificate Expiration Date Monitor on xyznode Component status: SSL Certificate Expiration Date Monitor(Up) Certificate will expire in 204 day(s). Expiration date: 10/6/2017 It just so happened that I got a demo from ExtraHop that same day (we've got it going…
  • Yes, you can monitor the services. Make an application monitor and put the services in, the ones I did were: Citrix Cluster Join Service Citrix Configuration Replication Citrix Credential Wallet Citrix Default Domain Services Citrix Peer Resolution Service Citrix Subscriptions Store World Wide Web Publishing Service There…
  • If I remember correctly when you run the update or the webpage config wizard it wipes out files that get modified or added to the Orion directory. I played with this months ago but ultimately gave up on it--in the original deployment you should have added or modified some files in the Orion directory, right? Run through…
  • I haven't had the problem since upgrading (also on 12.1 HF3), but I had if all the time on 12.0.1 (and prior) so I'll be sure to post in here because I was told on multiple occasions that it would be resolved when I upgraded.
  • You'll need to use the log forwarder, check this out: Set up Log Forwarder for the first time - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
  • Same here... if a script turns up to monitor this it would be helpful for us as well.
  • Do you mean for your primary poller? Additional poller? I'm probably over-provisioning, but my primary poller is 1 socket, 4 cores @ 2.3 GHz, 24 GB of RAM, and a 80 GB system disk. The additional pollers are 4 sockets, 4 cores @ 2.6 GHz, 24 GB of RAM, and a 80 GB system disk.
  • Going to play devil's advocate here but you upgraded NTA first and now want/need to do NPM? I've always read and was told to do NPM first if you run it, always do the NPM update prior to any other products. The issue you're seeing might be because of this. I'd highly recommend giving them a call and/or opening a case…
  • Do you have a timeout on the user account logged in? If you set that to disabled it may keep netpath up on the view, I'd imagine it's using the logged in user credentials to view it and has proper permissions in that respect.
  • You can use the log forwarder to forward specific event IDs and generate alerts off of that. I only really use it for SQL jobs, but you could target just about anything you'd like.

  • Try re-running the website config from the setup? That might work.
  • I'm having problems as well. It worked initially for a path to Office 365 but one day it just plain quit. Doesn't return any data outside of our network. Had the network guys check and we still allow ICMP 11 traffic, and I was originally told that was all we needed to do for the responses...

  • I checked the ones I use and don't see anything referencing that service though the XenApp/XenDesktop templates have me monitoring literally everything else! Should be easy to make your own application monitor for that service though if you need to keep an eye on it.
  • Either custom properties and have the alerts be written to include the custom property and then send the email from there--or just make distribution groups for your departments in whatever mail service you use and just dedicate the use of those groups solely to SolarWinds.
  • SQL 2016 SP1 here. Product versions: Orion Platform 2016.2.100, NPM 12.0.1, DPA 10.2.0, QoE 2.2.0, IVIM 2.1.2, SAM 6.3.0, NetPath 1.0.1.
  • If it helps, my primary poller is 4 cores @ 2.3GHz (1 socket), additional poller is 4 cores @ 2.6 GHz (4 sockets)... haven't had any problems with either one.
  • I think this might be close to what you want. I used it to monitor a 10% increase or decrease. Not my code, I snagged it off here a few weeks ago. Create a custom SQL alert under the trigger condition. LEFT JOIN VolumeUsage_Detail V ON Volumes.VolumeID = V.VolumeID AND Volumes.VolumeType = 'fixed disk' AND…

  • SolarWinds told me that each poller should be good for about 12k elements, however in my particular case our environment was approaching 100% with only around 10,000 elements. You're at over 13,000 so it's not surprising to see high numbers honestly.
  • Yeah, it's an option right when you go to add the node. Just make sure SNMP is set up on your servers.
  • Same question here, I went to change them with calculated values from the past day (when I enabled it) and I was looking at values hundreds of times larger than the defaults.
  • A: Yep. B: Shut down services on poller(s), run database backup, fire up new database server, import database backup. For the new pollers (if you're going that route), you can use the scalability installer. C: I don't use the product so I can't comment on that. D: If you mean their HA/failover capability, yeah, that's an…
  • If what you're asking sounds like what I think it is... yeah, you're going to need to use the log forwarder on your poller(s) to forward data and generate alerts. I migrated my primary poller the other day and forgot about all the alerts set up via the syslog forwarder and had the network guys asking where all their alerts…
  • Okay, so I have more information after digging around for a bit yesterday. This dude posts the queries and what the end result will be so it has been super helpful for me, Mr. Non-DBA: Fast Growing temp file When I run the queries I can see the top process, then get the actual text of it which is... and here's the whole…
  • I recently performed this migration. Did the database first, stop all services, backup, then restore to the new DB server. After the restore, run the config wizard and verify everything is pointed to where it should be, and then you're all set. I actually left the primary polling engine for a little while, but the…
  • "Unlimited" is not exactly unlimited in this case. If your polling engine is tapped out you will in fact have to purchase the license for an additional one, it's basically a new NPM license. Your APEs could have been in trial mode? I'm not sure without seeing it. On NPM 12.0.1 anyway you can easily manage your licenses by…
  • Can you remove the poller for that specific probe and then re-add it? Maybe delete it and rediscover it? Unless you have to preserve historical data of course... but that's all skewed to hell if you're getting the kinds of numbers from your screenshot.
  • I don't remember if I had a specific reason, but I monitor the one here along with the database using WMI. I don't have any issues with monitoring it in that fashion if that helps.
