We/they use: NTA DPA IVIM IPAM WPM SAM NPM

There are four servers and each one has a separate instance as this service needs to be a 99.99999% running service. These are quite expensive machines with 100tb for each server and then that is all backed up to offsite storage where data will be kept apparently forever.

Thank you very much for your assistance. Having a look at the URL and yes I do see a &ResourceID=xxxx. As it's a custome SQL script, I assume it's actually on the solarwinds server and can only be sources from the solarwinds server?

I made my own as it's just easier sometimes to pick what you want to pick from the report. This is the data series. for the server. I've basically pointed to that exact server to make sure that it knows that server it is, with the respective drives in a line chart.

Maybe as a feature, it might be worth adding ALL of the applications that are required to get it running...

So, in response to your questions, they are as follows: Can I access the LEM console from a web browser: No. It is configured correctly (incase I have gone stupid, I had networks briefly check it). I can ping it. I can't SSH into it (even though SSH is turned on the vm) I can also ping from the LEM server. I can't connect…

I got a rebuttal from solarwinds. I am unsure if it will help people, but I need to try it first, but something has really broke the solarwinds server. I am unsure if it is an application, or maybe it's sick from all the reboots we've had to do: Hi Shaun We are seeing a issue when the configuration wizard is using the SQL…

Every time Solarwinds plays up, I stop all services. Start them, then try the site. Nothing. Then after running a config wizard for database/services/website (in either a combination or all together) that window then pops up. I reboot the device, leave it some time and then it's all ok.

OMG I suck so badly. My sincere apologies for me being stupid. Why is it like that and not on the node itself? I can see why you would have it like that. Ignore me. Your work here is done. Thank you for your assistance on thie. Regards Shaun

That's interesting. I ran the same app jobs this morning (Windows even log monitor) on the server in question, with the same credentials as yesterday afternoon and it appears to be hanging. might there be an issue with the node? I did sort of suspect that this morning, but thought to try other routes before making an…

The pretty much sums up what I need. From talking (er reading?) to people on here I managed to find my way around. I find solarwinds a very simplistic, but yet utterly frustrating to use. It could be that either I have zero experience within monitoring solutions, I could be very thick or a combination of the two. Thank you…

I will address this is three topics: Firewall - These are turned off via group policy Server not in domain - Server is attached to the domain as we sign on with domain credentials. Rights - The service account is an domain admin and admin on the folder.

I had to do an internet based search on who that person was. Shows how much TV/films I watch.

The alerts were triggered, but we never got them.

Yes it is. I think 10.5 from what my memory serves me. There have been application updates (NPM, SAM and so forth) it's simply that a lot of other areas, such as reporting, alerting, how some nodes are polled and even what node has been added is a mess. This is why at the start of this project, I decided, with the…

That's why it has made it so complex. It's not an easy combination of adding a new rule on a f/w and then off we go. It was through several switches because that's how it was laid down initially.

Yep. Ergo my GPO change.

I thought that, but I read that is uses upto 5 times more resources than SNMP. If you have first hand experience on this (I did quite a lot of research on this forum and on other internet-based search engines.)

I've seen that, but I find it shocking that Orion has not developed a solution to migrate your database, which is pretty much your bread and butter to your monitoring environment. I am aware that SQL or other database applications have this solution in place (eg clustered) but what about if, as an example you ideally need…

Next time I receive them, I will take a capture of them. But the alert is this: The windows firewall is turned off via GPO. We don't have an additional polling engine, but I am trying to get them to at least buy HA, so that should we have the link die to one data centre, we will have the other datacentre to fail over to.…

If I am being honest, I am not that bothered by other nodes having the same global timeout. Ideally I would say you would want it to be global to help with bottle neck. Maybe.

As an example - like yourself, I have tried different combinations. From response times, to stat data, to component uptime. To different chart type. All have been futile on my environment. Apparently Solarwinds attempted this last week and it produced the same error that I did.

So I built a LEM server a couple of months ago and because I has been busy with other things (Like a new solarwinds) it was left to simply be ignored. We haven't and I don't think we will be buying a licence for it because for one better of a word: my company is broke. But then we needed a feature of it as some of the…

I did an upgrade from 11.5 to 12 and that seems to have resolved the issue. I am now doing a brand new fresh install of 12 and seeing if it's how I installed 11.5 (12 installation options seem to be more intuitive) or if it's a ghost in the matrix. I think it might be how I installed 11.5 and maybe 12 corrected ant issues…

On one particular offending server, I received a time out error. That's never happened before.

After doing an SNMP walk with a few nodes, it appears that they have all produced something. I'm not sure. It gave me a text file. So I guess that it has been successful. So - after some poking about it appears that everything is how it was: about a dozen nodes have failed, yet everything else is ok.

Its simple: if stuff is broke then it is displayed as broke. If it isn't, then it isn't. I have a system of reports - eg I have a report sent to me with the days most used space. At the moment I am doing this manually, but HOPEFULLY I can get a more detailed representative of what is using storage, CPU, memory ect and then…

In essence yes. I am doing our new environment (1000 + nodes and counting) and if you try to add an already added node, it will prompt you that the node is already existing. I'm not dismissing the idea that somewhere, in a galaxy far, far away somewhere there was been a glitch in the Matrix and solarwinds must have messed…

The case number is - # 1045270

Yes. Solarwinds answer was, in effect 'it might be the node/application'. Some tests were run (such as connection to the node, logs and diagnostics were run among sever other things that have escaped me since I last slept) but if I have 200 + applications that are all ok and only two are intermittent, then I would be very…
