We have an unlimited license for SAM. However, each poller can only handle a certain amount of polling. Also, for component monitoring (Disk, Network, CPU & Memory, Node), you are limited to about 12K per polling engine. So, we currently have 11 APEs.

This scares me. Keep me posted on what you find out. My environment is a bit larger, so if you have to go to 32GB, I'm not sure that it's usable for me.

I have been unsuccessful at getting this to work. The /Admin seems to be throwing it off as I'm able to get to other logs by typing in the name. More testing to be done.

Any idea what table the data is stored in? Trying to create a report, but if I use the GUI, I only get the option of rolling it up to 7 days, whereas management wants a monthly report. I found the component_currentstatus table that has the most recent entries. I also found the detail table that has the availability and the…

Thanks. I was trying it at the wrong level. Had to go back to the template.

Can you provide a screenshot?

Does the cpu load chart of the server reflect >40% usage at the time of the alert? If so, it's possible that it was brief enough that it dropped before the poller was able to collect.

The fact that it's a node property shouldn't matter. That is how I have mine configured.

Thanks. Good to know.

I have played around with this quite a bit and found that the non charting IDs do not have a corresponding response time in the database whereas those that do have a value actual chart. Can you ensure that your componentID has a corresponding response time? I used the following query in SWQL studio. SELECT [data].[Name] AS…

I disabed the intergration for the past hour and it didn't seem to make a difference. The machines listed DPA are my pollers, so it appears to be SAM specific.

I don't think it's going to work as long as you are trying to query the system databases.

This is for IVIM. Just go to Manage Reports and Import it in. By default it will place it in the Custom category.

Coincidentally, I just went through this process this morning. If I would have been up to date on my Thwack reading, would have saved me some research.

jhbach​ You can install just the VMAN appliance. You would then install IVIM, which includes the Orion web console. If you install this on a fresh build independent of other Solarwinds products, then they will not communicate with one another. However, when I did my install, I had no licensing for the various elements.…

Answers to both questions. If you decided you wanted to get rid of all of the Physical Memory volumes, the easiest way is through the DB. You can run the following command. delete from Volumes where Caption = 'physical memory' To filter, you can set it up like the following.

meech​ I'll be happy to have a meeting with you to discuss. Won't even cost you thwack points.

One way to make it easy. If you are running a trial version, add all of the vCenters / hosts that you want to monitor. After adding them, VMAN will pull the socket count. If you look under the Setup tab, it will say Host Sockets XXX. Licensed for YYY.

Can you install 6.4 on top of 12.2? Or do you have to install 12.1 and 6.4 and then upgrade to 12.2?

I do not believe so, but can't be 100% sure. I take it that your subnets do not span datacenters. You may discuss with engineering what your options are unless someone on here has suggestions.

Then I'll go back to my first suggestion. Create a new report (custom table). Report on Node - You can add a filter where Group Node Name is Empty Add in the Node Name column.

This is what I did, but it's not working. Add Group of Groups limitation. This is what they see. If they click on the group they have access to, the page opens. if they click on any of the others, they get the following. The limitation keeps them from seeing the detail, but doesn't keep them from seeing the listing under…

Yes, that is completely possible. You may not even need 3 collectors, but it's not an issue if that is how you want to break it out. We have several vCenters of all different sizes. Some of them complete the performance job in under a minute while my largest one takes about 6 mins. So, if you have the bandwidth and the…

I don't know of any documents but here are some basic steps. This assumes you already have the servers monitored. SAM -> Reports -> All Reports -> Manage Reports Create New Report Custom Table (under the Reports Type) -> Select and Continue Pick your filter. Probably just Node to select All Nodes. Edit Table -> Pick your…

Here is the way I have things set up. It sounds like you have the same setup unless I'm missing something, so I'm not sure if I'm helping, but just in case. VMAN: We have an account that has access to connect to the vCenters and pull in the data. We also have the admin password for VMAN itself. Orion: We use admin username…

For the purposes of SAM, it would track working as running. Once the process is being monitored, it will report on times when the process is not running.

There is not a Node Added field in NPM. So, your two options. 1. Create a custom field for all new nodes and record the date added. This is a manual and therefore tedious process. And the report wouldn't be very reliable as it only takes forgetting to do one to make the report wrong. 2. You can create a table to report on…

For the group issue, try adding the following in your message to get the node name. ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.SysName}

Twenty isn't a problem. I am not sure what the limitation is, but I've done 40 at a time. That many entities on a single chart makes it hard to read, but when it's exported to Excel, each server gets it's own tab.

SAM is 'real time' to the extent that you define the polling frequency. With the event log scans, you also have the ability to determine how far back the logs to look. For example, you can set the polling frequency at 5 mins and the look back at 1.5 polls, to allow it to look back 7.5 minutes every poll. To alert when…
