I do not currently have anything like this set up. It sounds like it would need to be done with some type of SQL / SWQL query (possibly complex alerting). Unless someone else already has something set up, then challenge accepted!

I think it's under Preferences (Drop down by your profile pic in the upper right). See if your's is set to Off under Receive Email.

It looks like you just need to update the message with some variables. You can use something like the following. ${ServerName} at ${IP} has less than 60 days of capacity left. If you edit the alert trigger actions, you can click insert variable and find whatever parameter you want to add.

In short, yes, it can be. But if you split the databases, then you lose the functionality of the products working together. My organization originally split them out and are now in discussions of how to put them together.

You should only need one appliance, but multiple collectors. The setup depends on your bandwidth. Option 1: You can deploy a collector at each location and have them collect the data and feed it to the main appliance. Option 2: The way we do it. All of our collectors are in the same location, but are collecting data from…

I didn't have a 10.x version running, so I can't say what the memory looked like then. But as prashant said, it depends on your load. On my main app server / poller, I don't have much in terms of collections going, so the collector service memory is only about 400MB. My biggest memory consumer on that server is the…

You can do this easily by building a report and using a custom table. The metrics should be available to drag and drop into the table.

For anyone that is interested, the issue has been tied to a call to a stored proc every time the nodesdata table is updated. For my environment, this is about 80K per hour (12K+ nodes updating every 10 mins). Until a permanent fix is found, the workaround is to disable the call to the stored proc. The call only affects…

If your email is working on the Down but not Up, first thing I would try is to remove the reset action and then just copy from the Trigger. Once this is done, all you should have to do is change the subject to distinguish between the two (and change the body of the email if desired). I usually just put RESET in the subject.

For clarification. Are you using NCM by itself or do you also have NPM (Network Performance Monitor)? I personally, do not handle NCM, but I don't think that the items you listed are part of the NCM functionality. On a side note. You may have better respond to your question if you put it in a different forum besides…

This can be done by building an application template. You can do a discovery through SAM Settings -> Component Monitor Wizard

What products are you using? What is the version of the agent? How many components / nodes are you polling?

I tried to message you, but I'm not sure it went through as the message box never went away after I clicked Send, but it wouldn't let me click it again. If you didn't get it, feel free to message me.

Are you using a group or did you specify your account individually? If using a group, make sure that it's a security group and not a distribution group.

Thank you. That helps a lot.

VIM uses cmd/s and not IOPs (despite the name of the attribute). See below for a sample link telling the difference of the two. The article says they should be close, but like you I have found large differences in the two. i.e. Max IOPs was 20K and Max CMDs was 4.8K. CMDS/s vs IOPS? - Yellow Bricks To run reports out of…

SAM does not give you that capability. The event log monitor is SAM can scan the event logs looking for specific events, but it does not gather and store all of the logs. For this, I believe you need something like LEM (Log Management Software | SolarWinds ) or Kiwi (How to Archive Windows Event Logs in a Syslog Server ).…

I have not seen a true memory leak, but I did disable hardware polling in my environment because it kept using the memory on my APEs. I have moved all polling to my APEs to allow the poller to run the application more efficiently. What products / versions are you running? Is your main poller doing any polling? If it is, I…

I am assuming you are using the Top 10 Resources in Orion. Assuming this is correct, if you edit the resource, you can filter for whatever you want or don't want to see.

For future growth, you may end up with multiple DPA servers. The way we do it is one application and one SQL server pair for each instance of DPA. The recommendation is that you monitor no more than 250 databases per instance of DPA, which is why we have multiple pairs (currently 9). So, the question of putting it on the…

6.4 is full release. I haven't heard of any other Beta.

I don't have access to the referenced doc as I believe as you stated, it's internal. However, the sizing guide found here has some reference to the broker.properties. My guess is they are the same. https://support.solarwinds.com/@api/deki/files/30613/VMAN_7.0_Deployment_Sizing_Guide.pdf

Are you trying to build the report in VMAN or Orion VIM? To get the VMs created in the last 30 days in VMAN, you should be able to use the query vm.internal.dateCreated:[now-30days TO *]. To get a list of servers with snapshots in VMAN, you should be able to use vm.snap.dateCreated:* __________________ In VIM, for the new…

You can set up a filter on the volume name where it is not equal to 'physical memory' On a side note, you may considering using a group or custom property so that you don't have to specify each individual node.

To exclude the Citrix servers, you can define specifics in the trigger conditions. Depending on your environment, you may have to use multiple conditions. For example, if the names all contain CTX, then you can put that in the exclusions. In order to trigger the alert after the 5-10 timeframe, you would just need to…

I'm not sure that there is an out of the box report, but I would think this would be easy enough with a SQL query. If you are monitoring the SQL process, then you can create a query that gathers the SQL cpu usage and total CPU. "Other" would be Total - SQL.

Look under Edit Widget - Report and see what number it is set to.

What exactly are you wanting to monitor? If you are just wanting disk space, IOPs, etc, then you just have to add the disk as a component to the corresponding server.

You can use a SQL / SWQL query.
