Read them both and most the times with SolarWinds, release notes don't usually go into and database table changes or schema changes. That's why I'm asking here.

Scott, With the release of NPM 10.3.1 they added support for SQL 2012, so I'd assume that NPM will work with SQL 2008 R2 SP1. I'ts running without issue on our implementation. I'm not sure if you'll get an "official" statement. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

The SNMP trap service should be stopped and disabled on a SolarWinds server as SolarWinds now has it's own Trap service and no longer needs the SNMP trap service. In regards to goodzhere's issue, you may want to check the customer portal in the archived hotfixes and service packs and see if there is anything specific to…

We are, and it's running fine. However, trying to separate the STM app and it's database can be a bit of a task. It's possible, but can lead to issues, especially when upgrading. I haven't check the most recent docs, but I know previous upgrades required the database to be moved back to the app server before an upgrade…

This tool was not widely available until the release of NPM 10.3. You would need to upgrade to that version to gain access to that add-on. Unlike other tools, it's not something like an additional component that would be in the Customer Portal. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1Systems

I'm set to 30 days, bit I've noticed a chunk of entries that were in the table from 3/3 and 3/4 are gone as of this morning.

I'm not sure that this would be causing the issue since this is the adapter service and not the actual WMI service. 

You may also want to try resetting the WMI counters as lined out here http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#context=SolarWinds&file=SAMAdminGuide.08.537.htm

The cost, I believe is around $17k, the price list can be found at http://www.solarwinds.com/products/pricing/. In regards to the alert, it depends on if you use basic or advanced alerts. Basic alerts are bound to the specific poller and fire when a change is detected by the polling service. The Advanced alerts are…

The amount of traffic wouldn't be all that much, and there isn't going to be a measurable amount of latency by having an additional poller. I can't give exact specifics, but I know the software is designed for this type of scenario. Multiple pollers set up in separate geographic locations all talking to a main database in…

Are you worried more about the traffic or the latency? If it's the latency, then I wouldn't worry. There is very little with having a poller at the site communicating to the main database. They've actually designed additional pollers for this function. It's something I've actually helped implement in the past with…

The license can only be applied to one server. This will prevent you from applying to multiple locations. The only option you would have to eliminate traffic over a wan link would be to buy two separate Orion licenses. In that case you may not need an SLX depending on number of elements per site. Otherwise, you'd need to…

If you have both the AD user accounts and the AD group the users belong into within Orion, the individual rights will trump the group rights. In order for that to work, you'd have to only allow them into the website using the group. In terms of editing a group of inidiviual uses with the same limitation en masse, you can…

If you look at that asset, is there a device that meets the criteria of an interface type name and fullname as the others do? The blank record would indicate it does not.

I'm assuming this is a node custom property you're filtering on. It should pick up anything that has that property set to yes.

I have to agree with bpavlov, the first 5 techs which would be the built-in admin (if still enabled) and the first 4 created techs would remain active, the others would be disabled due to licensing.

The record is gone, but there is still a record of it in the AlertLog table showing the alert fired and when. The notes actually end up being saved in the AuditActions table, so there is still a record of them.

Having MIBs added to SolarWinds isn't going to change the issue if the device doesn't support the mib-2 OIDs that SolarWinds uses for discovery and validation. Adding MIBs doesn't change the way SolarWinds polls a device or tries to validate SNMP. Another option might be attempting to use SNMPv1 in SolarWinds. This changes…

Using a SQL query monitor try running this against the database. Use InsertDatabaseName Go select o.name , SUM(a.used_pages)*8096 AS 'Size(B)' from sys.objects o join sys.partitions p on p.object_id = o.object_id join sys.allocation_units a on p.partition_id = a.container_id where o.type = 'U' AND o.name = 'Syslog' group…

With it only being a service release it should follow the same support in terms of other products as the 10.4 release which shows it supports 4.0.1 of APM, so I'd assume yes.

A service release is a full release of the product, not a service pack. Installing this is like performing an upgrade of the software. You don't have to already by on 10.4 to install the service release. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

My issue was tied to the fact that hosts and the VCenter nodes were not being polled by the same polling engine. I wouldn't think this would be an issue, but apparently it is.

As naters mentions, groups would be the way to go. You can create a group for the site, and trigger when the group is down. This should satisfy the requirement for a site down alert.

Thank you for the information. Found out where I flubbed things up, to use the technical terminology. When I looked into the grantMa.config.xml I could see where I fubar'd the intiial config with port 8080. I updated that to 55555 and relaunching the ARM web configruation utility now shows the correct port. This also…

Rich, The only way to get rid of the text is to edit the map and remove the option to show the network atlas download from the page. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

installed HF6 this morning and still getting the same behavior.

You'd have to export the custom properties using the old editor, delete the property, recreate it replacing the above character (whichever is used in your property) with a word or abbreviation. Then re-import the values. Another method, which is less time consuming, is a SQL query I've used several times without issue…

Bryan, What was happening with the SQL monitors after the hotfix?

No, you should have: ${SQL:Select App from APM_ApplicationCustomProperties ACP JOIN APM_AlertsAndReportsData A on ACP.ApplicationID = A.ApplicationID Where A.ComponentID = ${ApplicationID}} And it should work with your Application Alerts. For the component alerts you want: ${SQL:Select App from…

You won't be able to have local admin rights on a DC. The local users and groups is removed due to the DC role being added.
