Can you share your custom SQL scripts for monitoring Always On instances?

Yes, one HA license per polling engine.

Is this still a valid way of restoring a default view? I can not find the OrionWebBackup.exe on the Orion Server. I would like to reset the default Node Details view.

I was never able to prove it out conclusively. It was only happening on a very select few servers, a dozen or so out of thousands of windows nodes. Once I removed the asset monitoring for those nodes the issue went away. New nodes have had the asset polling enabled again and we haven't seen the issue since. It looks like…

I created a custom SQL and put it in a report. Change the Month number to be the number of the month you are interested in, or take out that where clause all together to get a full history. You will also need to increase the default mailbox details in SAM Settings - Data and Database Details - Exchange Server Monitor -…

Thank you!

Did you get any further with this use case?

Perfect, changing the fetching method to RPC solved our issue. Thank you

This has hit us too, any updates? This is critical monitoring for our environment. I'll investigate the workarounds that the others have mentioned in this thread. Any other options?

@scott.wighamSolved my issue with your edit! Thanks!

Thank you. Is there any way to select only the components you are intrested in increasing? For example: Server X and Y because they are financial in nature and we need a full period for accurate baseline measurement.

Hello Serena, Our DBAs did see this KB as well. It didn't apply in our case because we were already beyond the CU level mentioned and the APM_ApplicationTemplate Table only had 850 records in it, less than the > 4000 mentioned in the article. For testing purposes, we did set up an environment with absolute latest SQL 2016…

Thanks for the thoughts silverbacksays​ We are absolutely working with support but we are not getting very far yet. Their suggestion is to try a repair, which failed, then a reload the table from before the issue started, which was before the upgrade. I've emailed back with my concerns but wanted to try thwack to see if…

I'm having trouble setting up the custom chart. Could you post screen grabs of how you have it setup?

Another option would be a Linux script monitor and then do a ps -f and grep for the processes you are looking for with a word count. This example counts all java processes running under a service account. $!/bin/bash # SDSI processes check # use backticks " ` ` " to execute shell command SDSI_java=`ps -f -u svc_wodm_s |…

New Hotfix Release should address this issue NCM 2020.2.1 HF1 https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/NCM-2020-2-1-Hotfix-1?language=en_US

Yes, CentOS is supported out of the box. Try an SNMPwalk on the device to ensure that SNMP is setup correctly for the metric pull. The issue could be anything from the SNMP config to a firewall rule on the endpoint blocking the traffic.…

That widget is a part of AppInsight for IIS. The SAM application monitor SSL Certificate Expiration Date is a different monitor. What we do is apply (a copy of) the SSL Certificate Expiration Date application template against the nodes we want to monitor and then add the custom table widget to query those results onto a…

Try to monitor the Azure VM with the agent and then use the node's dynamic baseline / or static thresholds more specific to that entity. We disable the out of the box alerts and then setup ones more applicable to the environment to avoid this scenario.

Network Atlas is still in 2020.2, it will be removed in a future release. Network AtlasNetwork Atlas is deprecated as of this release and will be removed in a future release. SolarWinds recommends that you start using Orion Maps in the Orion Web Console to display maps of physical and logical relationships between entities…

We run this SWQL as a widget. It finds systems that have not updated the LastSystemUptimePoll and can show both SNMP and WMI nodes that are not collecting data correctly over the last couple of hours Credit to @"mesverrum"…

Go to your alerts page (yourorionhostname/.../alerts.aspx) before you run the config wizard and select "Pause actions of all alerts") When finished go back and clear the checkbox. If you just want to stop that one alert, just disable the one that is triggering then re-enable after. 

CPU Load average is now captured by default for Linux machines and can show on your node details page. Added in Platform 2018.2 (SAM 6.7). You can then setup alerts based on the return of this value. (EX: Current 15min Load Average)…

Here are the current supported Database Instances. 12.1 and 12.2 Oracle are listed. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/DPA/Content/DPA-Database-versions-you-can-monitor.htm#:~:text=DPA%20can%20monitor%20database%20instances,and%20Azure%20SQL%20Managed%20Instances.

One method would be to alert on a change to the Routing Neighbors Status. In this example we send out an alert with the Protocol Status Description is not equal to Established for BGP.

There may be some confusion on how to setup AD polling for UDT. You need to setup to read from a Domain Controller (via Event Log Reader permission) to get the user logins. You assign the credentials on your AD Controllers, not on individual nodes. Add Active Directory Controllers and users (solarwinds.com)

SAM will store CPU, and memory metrics for monitored components. You will need to select which processes/services you would like to monitor to poll those metrics to store them in the database. SAM does not automatically monitor all processes for a node. That said, there is an out of the box alert that you can enable that…

Call out the columns you want. SELECT IP_Address, Caption, Vendor FROM [dbo].[NodesData]

The Log Parser (Perl) template may be a good fit for you. Create a copy of that template and enter the values you are looking for.

We have had luck in the past looking in the ActionsExecution* files in C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\ We setup a Log Parser (Powershell) SAM Application Monitor to watch the C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\ActionsExecutionAlert.log and trigger if "e-mail" shows up which can indicate a problem with the e-mail…
