  • OK, I’m ready to start monitoring one or two applications. So, I’ve let AppInsight for SQL monitor a server running SQL 2008 R2 Express. Now, there are several features in the template that are greyed out. Do I select them and hit “submit” to get rid of them when editing the template/application or do I select the ones I…

    in SNMP vs WMI polling - pros and cons Comment by pjcarter October 2014
  • I'm hoping you can help. I'm trying to add a new Universal Device Poller to poll hardware information such as power supply status for an HP Proliant DL160 G6.

In the context of this question, it is not relevant which reveals any specific metric or health, only which puts more load on the…

  • I just went through this with Solarwinds support. According to them there is no way to combine different types of "Property to Monitor" in a single alert. For example, if under, "Trigger Alert when all of the following apply" you add "Volume Percent Available is less than or equal to 10" you can also add and "Group Name is…
