This is only showing you the current 15 servers because you already applied the template. Anything with Component or Application comes from a SAM template. So, a newly added server wouldn't have this information.

Sorry, Catch22 is an old school term basically meaning you are stuck because because both sides have to wait on the other to be completed. As far as I know of, there is no way to key on the service being installed without doing an inventory of all services on all machines. I'll let others weigh in and see if they have…

With this setup, you are in a Catch22. You have to appy the template for it to be in the dynamic group but it won't appy the template until it's already in the group. You'll have to come up with another criteria to key on for your DHCP servers.

You can use the already existing DHCP template unless you want to build your own from scratch. I usually prefer to use what is already there. To build the group - Settings - All Settings - Manage Groups - Add New Group - Name Whatever - Add Dynamic Query If you go with the naming convention method - Change the drop down to…

Thank you. From my testing this is where I was leaning, but wasn't 100% sure.

I should have mentioned, I have them disabled. But I would like to just remove them all together. Every so often I find that some of the sensors got re-enabled by "magic."

As you have figured out, you cannot edit the prepopulated select statement. Therefore, you would have to join the prepopulated with the query. However, this prevents you from specifying the additional fields that you are trying to select. It would look something like the following. JOIN sys.databases d ON d.databaseid =…

Thank you. This helps a lot. Tweaked it a bit to fit my needs, but definitely a good start to what I was looking for.

I should have clarified my intentions. I'm trying to find a way to track the deletions. Management is wanting a new server vs deleted server report. New is easy. Trying to find a way to get the deleted.

I would venture to say that your database is okay. You only have about 10 minutes of wait for an entire day. Your PLE seems to climb all day long and then resets each night during maintenance, which is normal. With regards to having both SQL and SAM on the same server, best practice is to break them apart.

I had no problems upgrading my test environment. But it is much smaller and Prod. So, it seemed to be a scaling problem for me. The first big problem we had other than the database was missing data. I found out 3 of my servers were not pulling in CPU and Memory information on my WMI servers. They were reporting 100%…

I just built an alert this morning that restarted a service. I used the following link as reference to get it working. Monitor, alert and restart a Windows service from SAM - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Sorry, read through that too fast. I overlooked the Recommendation part. I ended up disabling recommendations in my environment because I was also having problems with it. I have not tried yet since upgrading to 6.4.

In my experience, if you call to open the ticket instead of going online, you will get faster response.

You don't need SRM. It's just saying that to work with DPA 11, you need EITHER SAM 6.4+ or SRM 6.4+. Both of which are built on 2017 platform.

We use standard backups as our DR strategy. All of our DPA / SQL servers are virtual, so we have high availability built into the infrastructure, so the only concern we have is the where one of the servers would go down. We ensure that we have regular backups and will rebuild the box if needed.

How do you do this? I don't see anywhere to specify a hop count to get the VMs.

VMAN: This connects directly to your vCenters or HyperV Hosts. It pulls in various virtual metrics only. NPM: Generally used for networking (routers, switches, etc.) IVIM: This is the link between VMAN and Orion. It pulls in some of the virtual metrics into Orion. Orion: This is the single pane of glass for many Solarwinds…

Sounds like a job for the UX team. meech​

I never figured out what was wrong with WinRM that kept it from working. I tried various fixes as mentioned in other threads, but had no luck. I was able to get it to work by upgrading to WinRM 3.0.

Yes. The way I'm reading this is that it's going to change the Host thresholds and the Guest thresholds. I would like to differentiate between the two.

This is collected from Windows machines out of the box when you add the volume as a monitoring component.

I haven't messed with NPM 12.2, but I think it's compatible with SAM 6.5 versus the 6.4 you have listed. You may need to either go back and install NPM 12.1 or wait for 6.5 to be released.

Looks like you have NPM 12.1 installed. What version of NCM is installed and what version of SAM are you trying to install? You mention DPA, VMAN, and SRM, but I don't see them in your screenshot. Are they not yet installed? I would go to the upgrade advisor and make sure the versions you are putting in play nicely with…

We are running 2.4s in our environment without issue. Like you, we don't have 3.0s available. The speed is a recommendation, but doesn't keep you from continuing on with the install. Regarding installing SAM first, it shouldn't matter on a fresh install. NPM should have laid down the Orion core modules. Make sure that the…

Yes, to build full HA you would need identical pollers at each data center. In short, the way HA works is that you assign a VIP to the HA pair. Communication is done through the VIP, so it can talk to whichever server is currently active. Note that HA is an extra cost. You have to purchase 1 license for each pair. High…

I ended up opening a support ticket and their answer was to adjust the numbers to our environment. Per support, the default numbers aren't really relevant to an actual production load.

Thank you for the information. To answer your question, yes I was able to drill down to find the specific mdf having problems. It reported times of up to 4200ms. Most of the wait was pageiolatch. Now that I understand where DPA gets it's metrics, I'm still not sure why there is such high latency in SQL when Windows doesn't…

Had to modify the command slightly to get it to work, but this fixed my issue. winrm s winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="*"}'
