The third paragraph should of lead you in the right direction; did not seem vague, although blogs are subjective in nature.

So, what's the scoop with the time frame on Q2? I only saw one router down with the live mode, not multiple and text of the question only indicates a singular router, so this matched up on my chart. "Which ---->router<--- in the network path is causing the failure? (Select ALL that apply)"

It's funny to see Pingdom on here, since I trialed the platform a year ago to cut costs on what we currently used. If I recall, it couldn't do SSL transactions or was giving us too many false positives during the 30 day trial period. I'm guessing these have been fixed by now, but hard to tell. I'm guessing Solarwinds…

wabbott​ -- I do have to say on the same lines as this, if you're looking to be an exact True/False here, this would be False. There's a difference between AWS Market Place vs. Community AMIs. The following is from the AWS FAQ: "How are these products different than the products I can find in the AWS Community AMI catalog?…

The mission is pretty informative to see what Solarwinds has for SaaS. The monitoring we have is all in-house with the exception of our external website monitoring system and internet circuit monitoring. After looking through each of these, I'm starting to think Solarwinds is becoming the Cisco of monitoring products, in…

I think some of the more common problems I've run into managing databases on a higher level, not actually working on the database level or code/script design, is working with an architecture that is supposed to be HA, but not have the capability due to unknown dependencies on particular databases referencing one another.…

I believe this is correct. The way it reads through that whole article is that the perfstack charts seem to be a troubleshooting mechanism and each user can have their own version, tweak them and send them back. I would say it could be more of a workflow analysis tool versus a dashboard as I was expecting. It's still very…

So, with all of the compliance now days, this is an impossible feat in my office. There are currently 4 42" screens on the wall, monitoring different parts of the network operations; on my desk there are dual 24s on one side, dual 24s on the other, laptop in between. I feel like I sit in Dr. Strangelove everyday.

designerfx​ -- You know, I never even thought of this before you mentioned it; that's pretty clever. Thanks! Also, I'll take donations for an unlimited version of NPM.

Question 11: -- Why would someone put the number of VMs running on an ESXi server to the perf stack of the DC? This is merely my curiosity-door being open here.

DPA is amazing (Confio Ignite formerly, iirc), used by a bunch of people at my company and they may melt without it some days (this needs to be tested). It's definitely worth a purchase, even if it's just one instance, it lets you have taste of what the product can do. I would _love_ to have every module added into the…

Answered my own question... Share troubleshooting projectsAny troubleshooting project you save is accessible to others by sharing the URL. They can * use the projects as-is * modify the project and sent the URL back to you * save it to their own Performance Analysis dashboard by clicking More > Save As For example, you may…

The fact that this is a marketing venture for Solarwinds, it's shocking the number of mistakes we see on these contests. It's hard to complain too much about free things though, so onward and upward. I'll have to agree that they should of omitted the word marketplace from the question, as it drives the answer down a…

Thanks @utildayael for pointing me in the right direction. I ended up retro fitting a normal powershell script into Solarwinds. I'm attaching the template in case this would be worthy of publishing up to the user community here. This works exactly as designed. I kept a few portions of the original script, which had a…

I'm keeping SNMP as a last resort option right now, since it will require installing SNMP across a large quantity of servers in our environment to take advantage of the service monitor. The agent based design would solve a few of our problems actually and we look forward to the next release. Is there any statics yet on how…

DPA should be running as an independent module, which actually has a separate integration piece to wrap it into the SAM/NPM console. You can safely remove it off your server, unless you've configured it for trial, but there's instructions on how to move it to another server. Move DPA to another server - SolarWinds…

Heysky2830​! I find that unlikely, but I would never trifle with registry changes in the mass like this to harden the machines without a formal vetting process of how wide the impact would be. This doesn't necessarily mean it's being done or will be done in the future. In theory, a common local admin that has the same…

I'm looking into what I need to do to revamp the script. Is there a way to use local accounts on the nodes? Let's say I have a monitor account, named monitor and this account exists local to all of my servers. Is there a way in Solarwinds SAM to specify the .\ method of authenticating locally? (e.g. .\monitor) I tried this…

Is there any way to get the VB script through solarwinds to work properly with impersonation? If there were templates that were in Solarwinds to check this type of functionality, I would certainly use it. The only ones are end user generated and grab performance data as well, which isn't what I'm after. WinRM won't work…

I would also start with a wbemtest if you're troubleshooting authentication/network for monitoring, it's always pretty helpful for me. This helps eliminate WMI, Firewall Rules not opened (if crossing network segments that go through one), and Security issues.

If you're monitoring a machine in a workgroup from a domain joined machine and that work group machine still has UAC enabled, you need to do the registry hack to allow remote WMI calls to access the machine, regardless of authentication. You should see a failure audit in the security eventlogs when you're trying your WMI…

I had to upload them to a Imgur Album, here you go: Solarwinds Jacket The port authority photos do not show enough detail for me to correctly identify the jacket.

bmoore​ -- Yep, I think mine started when I went from 11.5 to 12, which started awhile back since i'm an early adopter of their releases. I guess I like to put my head in the fire for some reason. I think their tables get mucked up when you bounce the SAM/NPM server and their queued alerts don't unclog from the tables in…

Hey orioncrack​, I'm not sure where that information came from in support, but I've been told at least twice through support cases to run it against my single polling environment. (SAM/NPM/WPM) I do not run additional pollers in my environment and this did fix my problem. -R

I can obviously connect to the other nodes in the domains fine through windows authentication, since it will prompt for the destination credentials to use. If you supply these, then it will connect fine with no error. I can use normal WMI templates to monitor the services through solarwinds, the credentials solarwinds uses…

The 'Solarwinds.Net' application log is pretty clean, no warning or error logs in that one. The system log has a few DistributedCOM logs for things that have been previously deleted from the node inventory, though I feel it's unrelated for the most part. I'll get around to figuring out why those are in there later. I had…

It's definitely not the link you provided, since the jacket is not two-toned on the arms and is not 100% fleece. The jacket is 100% polyester and has a pretty rough/durable outer texture. It's much heavier than a normal all fleece jacket by far and that was the first thing I noted when I took it out of the package. I ended…

gsutherland@sharoncu.com​ Do you know what brand the jacket is? I'm trying to get an estimate on the size of the jacket, since they don't have XXL.

rileymat The problem may be with the condition, since it hasn't changed for the 33 nodes, the 2 new triggered nodes would then set off the alert. The time frame would be awesome, but the normal advanced only gives us a 'more than' and not a 'between/within' figure for time, which would be required for what you're after. I…
