You're right - short of diving in deep on the backend, there doesn't seem to be a good way to do that. If you've been monitoring these devices for awhile, however, you do have some baseline measurements for what 'normal' is. Perhaps you could simply modify the specific hardware sensor's thresholds to trigger on 'normal avg…

Did you install the appropriate powershell module on your poller? What version of PS is running on your poller?

Well, that shut me up! Thanks!!

Without knowing the specifics, it's likely that the counter OID polled via SNMP is rolling over, or some other function of the monitors resets that counter. Until you hear from your vendor, the easiest way to turn off notifications would be to exclude these via IP address or node name from the reboot alert in Advanced…

If you RDP into your polling box and attempt to RDP or drill via UNC into the target server, are you successful?

Okay, I've managed to divine that it's the AULastSuccessInstallTime column in AssetInventory_ServerInformation table....just gotta resharpen my Report Writer skills now!

What kind of nodes are you trying to add? Are you accessing them via SNMP or WMI?

All the scariest hax0rzz use SNMP. Read-only. V3. From a fixed IP.

If you're a WPM customer, you could install players on those remote servers. Granted, this is a little more information than just monitoring availability of HTTP/S, but it will give you the desired information, as well as some metrics.

Usually building an appropriate dependency would be the answer for this. Have you attempted to adjust the conditions to specify the WLC is 'not' in an unmanaged state?

I've seen it on a few different boxes over time. I was never able to figure out why it's happening - I thought it was some limit built into the uptime counter, but that theory doesn't really hold water. Anyone else?

If your IPAM implementation is on your LAN (inside your firewall/security perimeter), you'll need to verify that the firewall rules allow the connection. As an aside, if you're monitoring your public IP to verify connectivity from your LAN to the Internet, a better bet is usually to set up monitoring of the carrier-side IP…

That's a weird one! With the success of the pingdom tests, I think my first question would be 'what's different about the traffic from Amsterdam than traffic from US-based clients'? Also, do you see anything interesting in the replies from the server - the traffic that never makes it back to the client? I assume you're…

Done - thanks for making this feedback mechanism available to us.

If there was a way to leverage the RTBM of Engineer's Toolkit seamlessly into NPM views on-demand, then you'd have something quite usable. We don't own the toolkit here, so I can't speak to if there is any such functionality today.

To my knowledge, there is no real-time bandwidth monitoring inside of the NPM platform whatsoever.

This thread should point you firmly in the right direction. Application Pool monitoring As aLTeReGo‌ has said in other threads, if you have AppInsight for IIS, then you can do it easily - but that's more of an all-or-nothing affair.

I'm sure many more DB-savvy folks will chime in here with more useful information, but if I was in your position, I would not look too hard at Solarwinds to start. Go through your SQL logs one more time. If you can triangulate on when the service stopped, see if there's anything there that looks out of place, unusual, or…

Voted up.

Take a look at this: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Installing Toolset when it erroneously indicates maintenance is out of date Might this resolve your issue?

You are able to poll the Cisco and Draytek routers via SNMP, right? Do you poll these devices via the VPN tunnels you reference? If so - and say one of the VPNs from the colo Cisco and one of the Drayteks went down - wouldn't your polling to the Draytek fail? I could be oversimplifying this, but that's a pretty fair…

Anita, welcome! You can certainly monitor services and create alerts on servers. This is a specific piece of functionality of the Server and Application Monitor (SAM) module for the NPM platform, although it can be run as a standalone application as well. The licensing is separate from NPM. If you've already installed SAM,…

When you say 'as a managed solution', do you mean dropping a poller at your clients' locations, or do you mean simply monitoring their network assets remotely from some centralized location?

Upgraded this morning and operations seem smooth. However, I'm noticing that the routing table info I'm getting is injecting bogus information into the output for next-hop. I have several routers who are reporting that their next hop for certain networks is one of the SQL servers at a branch facility. It looks like just a…

If I wanted the backups to occur hourly, I would probably just build 24 daily jobs and have each one run on a specific hour of the day. There may well be a more advanced method to accomplish this. It would be tough to manage and revert, I'm sure, but would officially satisfy your requirement to perform hourly backups.

I'd like to see this as well.

Can you supply more information? Is this NPM, SAM, or some other product?

If the subject matter was engaging enough, I think it'd be really cool - I'm a long, long way from Birmingham, but I can do a hangout anytime. Perhaps a rough focus subject or area for monthly stuff might help lend some sharpness and direction to the meetings as well.
