Thank you so much for all this. really great info. I have just installed a new solarwinds SAM server and starting from scratch. so it has given me an opportunity to somewhat test some questions that i have since the new install are 1. If you have a VM, what options do you then have? Hardware health is obviously not an…

Will you believe it. today i deleted the credentials for the windows account as well as the credentials for the template. after then when i selected inherit from node again and then tested it worked. But it all was a bit flakey

thank you. will try that tomorrow

Will this also cover disk failures? How do I best alert of nearly full disks?

Hi aLTeReGo How does that work with SNMP when I want to monitor services etc as well. There is not a SNMPWMIICMP option when adding a new node. Ronnie Ronnie Jorgensen Systems Administrator Arrow ECS

Hi Deltona Thank you very much for your info. Will get me going. However I cant see where to get the insight WBEM providers for HP and ESXi on that page? Am I missing a download link somewhere? I assume it is HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for ESXi that I need? Ronnie

Sorry for the late reply, i have not forgotten, just been completely swamped at work. So i knew that SAM can monitor hardware but honestly i am not sure what needs to be done before that works. is it just WMI scanning and enable a template? Also how do i actually send an email alert on hardware issues? like failed disks,…

Hi aLTeReGo Got a little update on this case. Tried the server i had issues with and i set credentials on the component monitor itself and then the restart service started to work. The funny thing is that the credential i chose is the exactly same as i use for the node itself. Also i know i can manage windows credentials,…

aLTeREgo> Ran the command you recommended, except i tried to restart and not stop. got following. Any ideas? C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\APM>APMServiceControl.exe 17 -c=RESTART Server & Application Monitor Service Control Connecting to localhost:17777 ERROR: [Error ] - ControlService failed, check fault…

Will try this when i get in to work on Monday

Hi Mike, It is WMI and RPC. Do you know what requirements needs to be met for this to work? as in remote registry service needs to be running and remote administration? If i remember correctly that is not on by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 Cheers

Hi aLTeReGo, I will have a look. the whole think looks messed up after me trying to work things out. Do you fancy some consultancy time to fix our SAM?

This worked like a charm...... Thank you so much !! Any way of making this only C drives?

That is a brilliant idea. Thank you Sent from my Blackberry device.

altegero So i installed the agent for my HP Proliant 380 G3 and installed the WBEM providers so it can do WMI hardware health monitoring http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href= I have not yet restarted the server as the agent wanted, and i have not changed any default…

How about the WBEM providers? i am sure the help file mentioned these too

Hi Deltona Do you mean i need to enable SNMP on the ESXi host? I saw an article on how to enable snmp for esxi. my guess it that this is not the correct place? Regards Ronnie

Hi Steven I have actually just been asked if i can help with an old SQL 2000 server that looses MAPI connection and then dont re-establish it when the connection comes back. you have to restart the SQL service and then things start working again. Any idea if i can set something up that monitor for non responsive mapi…

So i managed to find the correct CID for my Windows audio service. god bless the log files On the node itself i set my domain admin credentials, and it seemed to only work after i changed the credentials on the component monitor from (inherit from node) to a local admin (non domain admin account) Did i miss something from…

Hi guys, not at work, so cant check the comments out. But if this is correct then the info says to replave${ComponentId} with the id of a component... surely that can be a lot of hazzle if you have many servers and many services you want to monitor and restart? Also the admin guide actually show: Example Alert Manager…
