Thank you @"vinay.by" ! Marking your response as answer.

Thanks! On further research it looks like the SAAS (cloud) product has a capability to monitor PHP applications, but nothing in SolarWinds written in or otherwise using PHP. No PHP binaries on my (self-hosted) polling or web servers that I can find. Marking @"yaquaholic" response as verified answer.

Cool. I will continue to track this thread. My shop currently running SW version 2024.1. We have a 2024.4.x upgrade on the docket for implementation in the next 30 days. If the error continues after the upgrade we will open a support ticket. Thanks for all of the responses.

Thanks! After more discussion to refine the requirement the account in question (testing/audit) needs the node management screen only. We were able to add a link to Node Management to a dashboard that our tester can access. We gave our tester node management permissions with a strong warning not to change anything. Our…

Thank you! Yep, I kind of suspected something special was needed for HA enabled servers. Marking @"mugbukdotcom3" response as answer.

Good Day. I've had my Thwack account 'locked down' in the past for spam / abuse and not able to post or reply. For me this has happened when I added or modified posts multiple times over a short period of time (I'm something of a perfectionist - been know to post something and then modify after a re-read). When that…

Thanks @"weston.hood" for the assist. Marking your response as answer. Cheers.

Thank you. Yes, I tried writing a query similar to above as the data source for a regular Solarwinds report. Even with a just a few event id's and limited time frame the report times out. But... working with Log Viewer found I can set up a 'tag' with name like 'Security log key events' . Then set up rules for each event id…

Great. Thank you. Verifying answer. Thanks, @"stevenstadel" for the assist.

Thank you. I found the Windows security event whitelist. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/la/content/lm/lm-whitelist.htm I was also able to locate instructions on how to modify the whitelist by accessing the Advanced Configuration page.…

Thank you @"darichar" ! This is very helpful. Marking your response as answer.

Cool!

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'm guessing the first proposed fix action from the help desk would be "run the configuration wizard". For me the answer is no. I am fairly new on a multi-person team, working through some licensing glitches with the transition from legacy to Solarwinds Observability Enterprise Scale…

Hi All. I'm tracking a similar issue. Ran the SQL query and I have about 40 records with [LastSuccessfulDelivery] older than 30 days. Before I start deleting stuff, wondering... 1. what is 'tool old' for a subscription delivery? 2. if something gets deleted from the subscriptions table, what does it break? Note that I have…

Thanks. We run our Solarwinds / Netflow / logging databases in Always-On clusters. So, I guess we are stuck with oversized log files.

Additional troubleshooting note: if I create a report to return metrics, like avg cpu, memory in use, response time, the report returns the expected metrics with no noticeable delay. It's just anything that uses the PerfStack functionality in the web console that 'spins forever' and does not display data.

Thank you! Answer by @"chad.every" was very helpful. On examination I noticed a lot of 'dead' SAM connections with AI SQL and AI Active Directory. Cleaning up some of the non-connecting instances of AppInsight caused our TCP Port Count to stabilize. Verifying answer.

Thank you @"vinay.by" , @"bobmarley" , @"HerrDoktor" . All great advice. A few things that stand out to me from the thread. * Poll polling servers from a different polling server. * No specific architecture required for polling server polling. Common designs seen in the field: a) star topology with APEs polled by the MPE,…

Thanks @"vinay.by" ! Yes, I played with this a bit. I have APE1-x servers set up to poll from MPE1 (made-up name) and the APEs poll fine. When I set up MPE1 to poll itself then it, and all the APEs, went offline (we use Agent for status). "Offline" means status ball red; no effect on polling server function. So, set MPE1…

Another team member worked through a similar issue a few years ago. Something about going into the database >> Node table, deleting the NIC entry, after that re-discover the node. I didn't work on this myself, so not sure about the details. I welcome any input from the community, especially any information about potential…

Thank you! This is very helpful. Marking @"chad.every" answer verified.

Additional information: all polling servers use Agent for communication.

Thank you! Very helpful. I will check my system to verify.

Concur with @"jm_sysadmin" . You need some kind of third-party load balancer to distribute Solarwinds sessions between multiple AWS. This can be a hardware or software based load balancer. I've had good luck with Kemp, Palo Alto, F5, but there are many kinds available.

Good Day @"roisda" A couple of things: 1. If you want to monitor a server in general you only need the server name or IP address. Solarwinds will 'poll' the server using a protocol such as SNMP, WMI, or Agent. Each of these protocols has a specific setup process. 2. It appears that the URL in your link represents an…

Greetings again. I found this thread that looks like it addresses my question: thwack.solarwinds.com/.../increase-the-maximum-value-in-ha-pool-default-interval-to-consider-a-member-as-down-in-a-pool default value: 32 seconds maximum value: 60 seconds Thank you @"HerrDoktor" for raising the issue and putting in a feature…

Aha. More research would have helped. I believe my questions was already answered on the thread referenced below: What logs should I check for Alert Action troubleshooting? Thanks to community members 'm_roberts' and 'KMSigma.SWI' for the answers provided in the link.

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Thank you! Much appreciated. I've been playing with the out-of-box Powershell log monitor. So far I've got two configurations that successfully find my log file under \logs: 1. use the 'C:\PROGRA~1' short form notation. I haven't used short notation in so long I'd forgotten about it, but it does work -…

Thanks! This gets me started down the right track.
