Go to Manage Nodes and see if you can edit the interfaces that way. You should be able to delete the node there as well.

Or you can use the agent where there are security concerns.

I wanted to share this document I found on how to monitor EV 11 https://download.veritas.com/resources/content/live/SOLUTIONS/228000/TECH228955/en_US/Monitoring_Enterprise_Vault_TECH22…

The operating system which SAM is polling does not know the status of the hardware health until the vendor's management package is installed. IBM, DEL and HP all have their own management software that you can install. Troubleshooting Hardware Health in SAM

Monitoring appliances is never fun. It all depends on if SNMP is supported by the appliance or not. Sometimes the vendors dont include SNMP services and make it very difficult to install additional services onto appliances. You can also look to see if the appliance supports Syslogs.

Stuart use the agent to monitor everything in the DMZ. The agent will eliminate your need for a WMI credential and WinRM while streamlining along a single port. Unless you're using a separate credential for DMZ than you are for internal WMI then you are exposing your network. But if you really must use WMI then this is the…

You shouldn't ever need to re-install. Try a repair first. Go to ProgramData\Solarwinds\Installers\ and run a repair on CoreInstaller and Service and Application Monitor.

I'm not sure if you own SAM or not but that would be the ideal product for HTTP/HTTPS monitoring which also captures response time. Or you can look into WPM for more synthetic user monitoring.

I'm looking for help specifically with the custom SQL/SWQL variable function of the alert trigger. Nothing I try seems to work. This is simplest test that I can imagine and it doesn't work. Select 1 (always 1) is greater than 0, doesn't trigger the alert. Oddly, setting the condition to "is not empty" triggers the alert…

You can disable any AppInsight component by modifying the "IsDisabled" value of the assigned component in the database. Its extremely easy using the database manager if you aren't comfortable making SQL statements. This is not a supported method but it works.

Is SSO my only option for AD authentication? SSO wont work for me as my organization uses distinct admin IDs for each engineer. If they use SSO from their workstations it would pass the standard credential which I do not want them to use to access LEM. Also the ROLE groups - They don't confirm to my organization's strict…

NCM would be the ideal product to detect config changes on a switch.

This would have to be a custom powershell monitor that grabbed top X processes every X minutes. You'd have to write a custom SQL report to aggregate those values per node.

The description of "Last 25 Component Events" says "...one or more components" but it only can display events for one component at a time. Is this a bug?
-
Unfortunately, This behavior is normal. WPM is very CPU intensive and we've had to build a server farm for our WPM players. We found the WPM player agent was running multiple transactions at the same time in parallel. This would result in the periods of the CPU being overloaded in a cyclic fashion. Any time the CPU would…

There is a powershell script called ConfigureWsManScript-IIS.ps1 that is temporarily deployed and executed on the target node when you run CONFIGURE SERVER. You must grab this script while that step is running because it gets deleted afterwards. Its not documented by SolarWinds but if you get it then you can edit it and…

As usual I'm answering my own questions. I wrote this Select Case expression to build my own alert variable to state which component threshold has been breached. This is useful for when you have a component such as a Windows Service that can be in a warning, critical or down state. Instead of having to get specific with…

Not elegant but here is my work around. $Argument0 -replace "%24%7bNode.DNS%7d", "${Node.DNS}"

I created this SQL macro today for exactly the same use case. ${SQL: SELECT TOP 1 CASE WHEN (SELECT Caption FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[NodesData] WHERE NodeID=(SELECT NodeID FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[NodeIPAddresses] WHERE IPAddress='${N=SwisEntity;M=NeighborIP}')) IS NOT NULL THEN ((SELECT Caption FROM…

It sounds like you have already figured out that you need to create a new application monitor template with a SQL user experience component. The requirement for any SQL monitor is the query must output a single row with an integer value in the first column. You may also output a second column that can be a string but this…

Make sure you alert alerting on the Component not the Application and use this variable. ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.StatusOrErrorDescription}

I too am also trying to pull Event 1074 info into our reboot node alerts so my team knows who is rebooting the server. I do not want to apply an application monitor to every Windows server in our network to simply gather a single value. Plus it doesn't work that well anyways for the same reasons you listed above. Is there…

It can't find powershell. I copied powershell.exe to the ..\SolarWinds\Orion\APM directory and I execute PS scripts like this: APM\powershell.exe "C:\script.ps1"

Are you talking about the HTTPS monitor or disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on the Orion website? .NET 4.0 Framework is the limiting factor for TLS. The latest version of SAM 6.2.3 is built on .NET 4.5x and now supports TLS 1.2.
-
There are a number of ways to cover this. 1.) Find a common Windows service that is running on every server in your environment - perhaps Server or Remote Procedure Call. 2.) Use the Performance Counter and monitor something ubiquitous like CPU usage. 3.) Switch to agent and use agent communication instead of ICMP for up…

Lets back up to make sure your PowerShell is outputting the values correctly. All PowerShell scripts run within the context of SolarWinds SAM must use the following 2 outputs - An exit code to determine status of the component and a statistic. The statistic can mirror the exit code, can be hard coded to 0 or something…

They won't tell you dates. They will say its on the "road map" and it'll still be on the road map years from now.
