As mentioned up above, this is exactly how I have it setup. I understand the difference between the two, which is why I questioned "The account should also have vCenter permissions is connecting to a vSenvironmentrnment." this statement. This is the opposite of what you are saying, and what we have in place. One question,…

Thanks....."Mount Point" is defined as a volume type in my system. I have several of them. I'm just looking for help with the code. I will tinker with it today.

AD Audit is awesome. Their free Password Reminder tool is awesome. Stay away from their OPS Mgr product.

Would like to see a resolution on this as well.

Thanks much, this is a great report. I'm trying to also include Mount Points - can you help with the code? AND VolumeType IN('Fixed Disk', 'FixedDisk', 'Mount Point')

Thanks Petr, awesome report, exactly what I was looking for too.

I hope so. My whole team is barking about this. Will update as I get updates. I have tried removing all and re-adding. Nothing works. Ughz.

5 years.....ugh.

All other alerts are working. My Cannes Node down isn't. Very bizarre. I abhor the web baed alert manager. It blows. Sorry guys.

Disagree 100%. Try and monitor 1000 http web sites with SAM. Try and monitor 2000 SQL instances effectively with AppInsight. Try and monitor a 100 site AD topology with no resilient replication and intrasite status monitors. All of this is out of the box and ready with my preference for app monitoring. I manage large…

Thanks for the help.

I have come to the conclusion that a SolarWinds deployment with 5 in place upgrades in its footprint is trouble. I have a brand new environment with all of the latest versions that runs great. My larger clients with old builds that have been upgrade over several years have the big persistent problems. It is too late though…

I don't think they have a clue how monumental this small feature exposes the non-automated nature of their product. But hey, you got AppStack with big red and green dots instead. This is something non sophisticated manger types don't understand about the product. I will never forget the look on our Data Center managers…

Thanks, I've downloaded it in the past but not enough time to devote to master. One last favor, I'm sort of lost in the comments and code for the disks using a custom property. Can you show the code ready to copy and paste as if my company is "Microsoft"? I have a feeling this post will help other non coders in the future…

Ok, I got it..... Thanks man.

Yes. I love that feature. As well as many others. But the web based alert manager as whole with all the micro drop downs and lack of object views make it extremely painful for people actually using it in the field with 1200+ servers. Again, someday I hope you produce a classful framework like SCOM for managing objects.…

Thanks. The only issue is this is for only Windows. All of our clients have Linux boxes too. This is great for people that only use Winders. (Cue - Debbie Downer noise)

Of course I did. I just needed a push on the right direction sir.

Maybe it will be in the SAM 6.5 beta?

Alex, Why mad bro? My choice of strategy? Please elaborate? Are you talking about strategy for server monitoring or strategy for getting rid of all of this unused Halloween candy? I love SolarWinds. I just love SCOM 100x more for servers for the reasons you list above with my quotes. They are all 100% truth. We can agree…

Opened a support ticket - its not possible to do this. Argh.

How many products are on your main polled? Ours is packed with all the biggies.

I wish I had not upgraded, far too m,any bugs and struggling to do basic alert setup in new UI. Terrible upgrade experience so far. Alert when node is down triggers are not even working I have just now discovered. Argh.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. I'm not getting the same results. Anything obvious here?

Lucky you. Thanks man

When you have 1000 SQL instances, and 5000 IIS sites SCOM is the correct choice hands down. Clusters as well. SolarWinds requires way too much manual work for a global company. SCOM is the correct choice for monitoring SQL. I get hundreds of alerts out of the box and support for AlwaysOn monitoring. SolarWinds cannot touch…

This is why AppInsight needs flexible overrides. I would trade the silly AppStack and Web based alert manager for true granular overrides. Yes, I am a broken record and beating a dead horse but it's because I use the product and pay ALOT and it is inadequate without granular overrides. Functionality over noise and vapor…

Nope. The only thing you can do is maintain a static list of servers and create a discovery, and specifying to only import volumes. Its a terrible process for us. We have been burned by missed disk alerts so many times due to new or relabeled volumes not being monitored. I will take this basic "feature" over PerfStack /…

You could reverse engineer SCOM's built-in event log rules and create your own event log template with SAM. Here are the SQL error events that SCOM alerts on automatically out of the box: Microsoft.SQLServer.2012._.NET_Framework_runtime_was_shut_down_by_user_code_5_Rule…

I thought so too but guy in other thread asked the same and it appeared he was under the impression it was 2. I'm leaning towards 1 but just wanted confirmation. Guess I need to google more.
