The points for this mission would be applied after May 1, is that right? I am only 54 points away from the hoodie and I just won 500 more... I am itching to place the order.

Yay! I got all the right answers on that one. 

In that case I declare now that I will win the Nexus 7.

I made it into all 4.

Yay, I'm entered again! All my use of the AppInsight component pays off.

Can we possibly clarify the wording in question #3? I can't decide on any answer...?

Wow, he was right all along.

I can't wait to see the Scheduled Task monitoring. I could also make very good use of JSON/SOAP endpoint monitoring! Would that take the form of a new User Experience Component type?

I love that AppInsight for IIS is next! Thank you!

Thanks, the question made a lot more sense the second time, and I'm entered (and going to win).

Yay! Made it into Day 4. 

The 500 I just earned put me over 4000 -- I'm just waiting for the points to show up in my account so I can place the order..

I'd like to throw what little pull I might have behind this one as well. I would like to monitor the performance of several scheduled tasks that run hourly, for about 10 - 15 minutes at a time. Another is the "Trend Micro Client/Server Security Agent RealTime Scan" service which is only started by another service when an…

I'm very interested in gaining the ability to control Windows Services through SAM. Would it be possible in the new version to set up a View (or page or whatever) that would allow non-Admin users restart a few services running on multiple servers? 

Got in most days. Here's hoping!

I've now answered everything, and I got almost everything correct! Here's hoping I'll win something!

Wow I really thought I had all the right answers, but only got 3 of 5. Guess I'd better study harder next time...

Hi. I have installed the new beta in a very small lab environment and so far not had any issues with it. I am wondering if the statistical base-lining feature it going to make it into the 6.0 release? Is it in the Beta? * "Statistical Baselining with Automatic Recommended Threshold Calculations"

I know it's been a year now, but I'm wondering if this feature request made it into SAM 5.0? I am dealing with exactly this issue -- I want to monitor processes for physical/virtual memory but they aren't running all the time. I need to ignore the "Down" state when the processes do not exist.

Thanks. On my test Orion server, I do not see the hardware widget at all in Node Details for any of my Hyper-V Dell hosts. If I go back, List Resources again, and uncheck Hyper-V, the hardware widget will appear on the Node Details page. If I add Hyper-V back again, the hardware stuff goes away yet again. 

Thank you for the information. My test of unmanaging the node did prove that the events were coming from SAM polling. I also ran the same test with our Nagios server and found that Nagios's check_nt plugin causes the same issue, so it's not like this is uncommon.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have a couple very easy questions. * Where is the Hardware Health Summary -- is it the Overview I see on the Orion Summary page? * How can I view Hardware Health status for Hyper-V hosts? I usually get there by going to Manage Nodes and then clicking on the node I want, but this only seems…

Hey, interesting. I knew about the 32/64bit polling option a long time ago when writing a bunch of PowerShell components, but forgot all about it. I'll give that a shot.

This sounds great -- thanks!

Thanks! This solves my problem with placing the new chart type on a Summary View perfectly. I will wait for the next release to revisit charting with my PowerShell Scripts. In the meantime I can live with having a separate Multiple Statistic Chart in my report mail-outs.

Tech support had an idea that addressed my immediate need of removing AppInsight from this node which is pretty obvious. You can do it from Manage Applications. I tried this earlier but couldn't find AppInsight in the list, the trick is searching for your SQL server instance name, as this becomes the name of the Assigned…

I tried from three machines, using both Firefox and IE, and IE locally on the Orion server and I can't make it work. I will open a support case for this problem.

Good idea. I have another 40-core server that was using SNMP already, but I hadn't thought to check. Indeed I do see data on all 40 cores for it in Manage Nodes. Strange though, that server also has all the 2006 entries filling up the App Event Log. Maybe they're coming from somewhere else after all? Next I will unmanage…

Thanks, that makes sense. The thing is, though, the server didn't reboot, and the alert is false. Given that this is Server and Application monitor and not NPM, maybe it makes more sense to look into this as a feature request? I don't have NPM on my license, so my Orion server doesn't have compatibility with many network…

Got it. The Alert Manager triggered the 32-bit version of powershell.exe. I needed to set the RemoteSigned execution policy for scripts in the 32-bit environment and change my powershell.exe path. (in an elevated CMD prompt) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" set-executionpolicy remotesigned -force…
