aLTeReGo​ What happens in the back-end to actually execute the IIS Action? Is this a powershell command? How can we find out the actual command being used?

We are reading and writing SQL over a WAN across country. We operate two datacenters 3,500 km apart with a single SQL instance. The link between the two DCs operate on average 40-45 ms latency on a 660 Mbps MPLS link. All our inter-datacenter traffic shares also shares this link. Getting rid of EOC to a real single pane of…

Very interested in Centralized Upgrades too. We have 9 APEs and 1 AWE. We haven't made the jump yet to 2018.2 but plan to in the next month or so.

Any update on correct OIDs for reporting Multi-CPU and Memory from VMware?

Yes, it is best to think of the thresholds and the alerting as two separate entities. You tweak the template to suite how often you want to check for the condition and then setup an alert on how often you want to send a notification or perform an action.

aLTeReGo​ I have a question in regards to the Linux Agent and JMX. Does the JMX Bridge talk with the agent to get the metrics locally? We would like to monitor JMX on a Linux server in the cloud, but the cloud server will not have any public IPs. We would set it up as agent initiated communication. The Orion polling engine…

Great, thank you that's what I needed to know. Looking forward to SAM 5.5!

No, they haven't given a timeline.. I expect the more cases that are opened on it the more priority it will be given.

How does having a SAM node based license and an ALX license work side by side? If we have an ALX license and apply a SAM100 license can we use the unlimited APEs for all the nodes or just the 100 that fall with the SAM100 license? Do we need to assign a specific node to the SAM100 license?

Thanks for the update serena​!

For the buddy drop, can we use Orion to deploy? My support agent said that I needed to deploy it manually to each agent. (Or setup some sort of alternative process)

Excellent, very glad to hear it helped! I have passed on your message.

For SAM we are currently at ~30,000 components in Prod. We are just starting to expore the API monitors with the additon of string support in the latest release. Before this functionality, we were creating ourour own scripts with a curl or an invoke-webrequest. The new API method makes it so much easier. As an example we…

BD is a Buddy Drop, a non-published fix for an issue in your environment. I would love to see some sort of forum where these type of issues are listed per release so we can make an informed decision on if an issue may affect our respective environments before upgrading. I have had issues in past upgrades where if I had…

Hey Kuz, I just wanted to let you know that disabling CRL didn't help with the issue. However the new version of Windows Log Forwarder (1.1.13) does install successfully without needing an internet connection. Thank you for all your help. StevenStadel

That would be excellent, thank you

Thank you for your help shepherding this change.

Thank you for looking into this Serena. The "What's New in this HotFix?" URLs are not consistently available across all the products.

Thank you! Solved my issue!

Few further issues that I'd like to share since our upgrade. To recap our upgrade included replacing the primary server with a new 2012 R2 node and a clean install. Turns out the installation included some hotfixes but not all. SAM 6.4 HF 2 was not installed and consequently we were unable to gather windows mount volume…

Can you let us know when your case has been resolved CourtesyIT​? We have an upgrade scheduled for next week.

I do not see SAM 6.0.1 in my customer portal. Am I looking in the correct location? Does the 2013.10.8 Additional Polling Engine build contain 6.0.1?

We need at a minimum feature parity with the currently deployed syslog and trap solution before moving to the new product. The V1 release will only supporting Tag an Entry, Run an External Program and Discard Event, and will not meet our current production requirements. Let's hope the next release is quick and addresses…

Heard back from support that it is a known issue and development is working on a fix.

Hi Serena, Is there a KB for manually upgrading the certificate?

aLTeReGo​ Has Microsoft been able to explain the technical reason behind how this Microsoft Update affected mismatched .NET version communications? Since having identical .NET versions looks like it will be a requirement moving forward, will this dependency be added to the installer? I think it is important that this issue…

Thanks Mark - Can you please try posting the screenshot again? Appreciate your help!

I had to reinstall the latest VC++ 2013 Redistributable twice over the last two weeks with the same issue on our primary poller. Keep the files local on the server in case you experience the same issue again.

I can't seem to get this to trigger successfully.

Thank you.
