That is part of the "Compliance". With config change templates we would be up-/downloading configurations and execute commands via ssh connection in order to run scripts. When you want to check you configs to make sure they look like you expect or to make sure they don't have telnet enable or anything like that, you would…

I'd say try this SAM template: Monitor a specific URL - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support -> Web Link monitor Or have a go with the powershell script created by one of SolarWinds' users: How could I monitor on SAM for the HTML response on a web address?

Hi Jakub, I replicated the empty Appstack and then fixed it. First I went to the "Licence Manager", selected SAM and clicked on "Deactivate". I copied the license key which is very important and confirmed that I want to remove the SAM licence from my Installation. Boom done and as expected I could not monitor any…

When the event is not being created by us* then it has to come directly from the device itself. Might be worth checking with the hardware vendor, maybe a firmware update will do the trick. * you can check all your alerts that will create an event. Have a look at "trigger action type - Log to the NetPerfMon Event Log" and…

Hello. Interfaces would show for Network Performance Monitor (NPM) while the physical ports would show up using the User Device Tracker (UDT). What do you see when you are on your node details page? Best regards, Steffen

I believe you can have 400 devices but you would only see info for the 250 that you actually enabled for (are managing with) NCM. Ask your Sales Rep to give you a 250 count license so you can test it. Tell me how it went please. Cheerio, Steffen

Can you monitor your servers via agent/WMI/SNMP aka does your credentials work there and are the required ports open? I still think that it might be due to the credentials. Check this: After adding an application in SAM, the Initial Poll in Progress takes a long time - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and…

ah you'll still have all of that

Hello. I spent half an hour testing around with a custom table and its fields. The best I came up with in regards of showing the amount of hosts that belong to a cluster is the "computed polling source". In my example I have (unmonitored Bastogne) St. Petersburg with 2 ESXi hosts and I have Sydney datacenter that has 1…

Hi mesverrum and dfairles​, You can adjust those timeout and retry values in All Settings -> Orion Polling Settings Best regards, Steffen

access to the "management" widget might be problematic when you don't want those users to see any info as there they could "list resources" and use the "Performance Analyzer"

Cloning the default NTA Summary is a good idea. From there you can pick the stats you are interested in and create multiple pages within that view: Best regards, Steffen

Could you ask VMware to have a look at that please as it should have been fixed in 6.5U2 but even in 6.7 it seems to still exist? Extreme Latency Spikes in ESXi 6.5, but not in ... |VMware Communities Best regards, Steffen

"[...]provide us details on directories/files that are being modified thru graphs/screenshots" There is currently no product from SolarWinds that would meet this kind of requirements / use-cases fully I'm afraid.

Hello Aaron, a few months later now ... but could you check whether it's working for you now as many more devices are being supported by SolarWinds now, like the Cisco Nexus 9504: Supported vendors and devices added in Orion Platform 2018.4 - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Best regards, Steffen

Thank you for figuring out the Regex pattern, Rene.

When you don't find a suitable field you can create your own one (custom property) like "VM" with options of true and false. Then you assign this custom property to all of your nodes and flag your virtual machines accordingly. This in turn would allow you to use this as a filter in your alert(s).

New idea. Use the hardware = virtual field instead of machine type. Here is a VM which is monitored as a normal physical server A "real" VM does not have a Node Details info but a Virtual Machine Details:

To exclude alerts on your ESXi hosts I would use an alert on "volumes" and a "set of objects" instead of the default "all objects" and then use the machine type field to exclude. You can then select the type from a drop-down-box. btw there is already a preconfigured (out of the box) alert that you could duplicate & edit…

Hello. 1) Are you looking at the node details (summary) page? 2) Your widget "active alerts" looks good. Your "all alerts this object can trigger" however looks off. -> Where does this extra field come from called "ResponsibleTeam" ? This indicates customisation. 3) Next thing you could check is whether you are logged in…

Hello. When creating the new user account, check what view is assigned. If it's "none", it's supposed to be empty. If it's "default", you might want to take a look on what widget are included in that view - if any: Best regards, Steffen

Check whether those devices are being managed by NCM. A good way of doing that is via "Settings - Manage Nodes" Then check out your "Jobs" to see how they are configured. Do they run once a day/week? Do they run on all nodes? In case it's still till not working, make sure the device credentials are correct. Best regards,…

Hello onemancrew and serena​, Thing is we have those stats like memory swapping available but they are not part of the Orion alerting system. When you look at objects you can choose from when generating an alarm trigger condition then you can pick VM machine and host. So far so good, but the information you want is part of…

Good morning. Check your Orion (main polling engine) status to see the polling rate utilisation: Settings -> All Settings -> Details -> Polling Engines Alternatively: All Settings -> My Orion Deployment Anything more than 80% then I would start using an additional polling engine - which come complementary with the new node…

When I have 50 VM running on 1 ESXi host, I only need enable the event monitoring for the 1 host to see whats going on with all my virtual machines, right? That would use up one license size of the paid Log Analyzer.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's always appreciated getting tips on how to resolve issues.

Hi Scott, Rather soon you will be able to have a more sophisticated monitoring solution using SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor (SAM): What We're Working On Beyond SAM 6.7 (Updated September 23, 2018) Until then you can use NPM following this short guide: UCS Overview resource view shows N/A for Chassis and Blades…

Hello. In order to investigate it, it would be worth it to generate a diag log bundle as well as a session trace which SolarWinds Tech Support can take a look at. On that note I have an idea you could test though. 1) enable terminal server support 2) enable keyboard interactive authentication 3) extent the time-out value…

Hi Jon, My idea would be using interface speed or receive/transmit bandwidth threshold

Hello. SAM uses the same SQL database as NPM and NCM. All 3 products/modules are installed on your 1 Orion Server. What comes to mind is to contemplate deploying an additional polling engine to your cloud environment as David Smith suggested. The benefit is that this polling engine can buffer 1GB of data and it only needs…
