Update: I must have missed this link from this postRe: Initial poll in progress. http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/5699/Add+Node+Application+Struck+with+Error+during+Polling+%3A%22Initial+Poll+in+Progress%22 I only have these 2 templates that are not working and it seems this fix is for "when polling is all…

For what it's worth: I had a "continual system instability" issue with Orion years ago and just kept chasing it with support calls and reboots. I was on Win 2008 and the OS/Orion had had *many* installs, upgrades, and other software installed/removed on it over the years, including numerous Orion upgrades from the original…

My 2 cents: I don't use the global alerting settings BUT If you are going to use the global thresholds, I would believe if you want to make a few exceptions to the global thresholds you could tune this on each individual node by going to the Node, then the "Edit" page and overriding the globals there (at the bottom of the…

Also don't know if it's too late, but I'm *very* interested. My 2 cents... Every monitoring tool I've used ( agent based or remote) has had some sort of "file parser" built in ...and most of them are really bad. Almost every time I talk to an app team I get the "here's the log files we want to watch for x condition because…

Update: migrating to NPM v12 changed the alerting tables. Here's a link that might help: How to tell if there are failed or queueing alert notifications in NPM v12.x

Any updates/resolutions? I just found this same issue in my environment. I last upgraded to NPM 11.0.1. I can't do anything when creating new views due to the error. It also pops up when just looking at any view in the editor (I could probably delete things, but haven't tried). Sometime next week I'm going to try the steps…

- What version of NPM are you running? - Do you have an alert configured (that is enabled) that would catch this system going down? If so, can you post the alert rule conditions (a screenshot of the rule conditions might be easiest). Also: The screenshot above is the events view, which I believe will not show alert related…

I just performed a server OS patch and deleted some old SolarWinds products, which caused all services to be re-installed, and then I rebooted the sever. . Like magic the scans all started running again. Still looking for a way to monitor/detect this...heading over the the APM template area..if not I may find a way to make…

I just finished setting up a dev/test NPM + SAM + NCM + IPAM + UDT to test upgrading NPM from 10.x to 11.0.1 (all the other modules but SAM had upgrades to test too, testing the NCM DB consolidation, etc.. We haven't upgraded anything in 6+ months or so...) and I went ahead and upgraded SAM and NPM to their highest RC's…

It's a bit late but...for anyone who finds this . I've been working on the same question and here's what I've found so far. I've found a few areas where the "Product Datasheet" documentation, vs. the "Admin guide" installation documentation vs the "Solarwinds Website product requirements table" (The main jump…

Update: I opened a ticket on it. I'm also having the SolarWinds Job Engine (64 bit) crash infrequently.

You mean the other databases are impacting the mission critical monitoring system ? Only on these forums I might get a laugh for this... Anyway: I'm not sure I can answer your question, but maybe I can provide some perspective/help getting there. I have more nodes in my system, approx 800. About 1/2 of those are windows…

It looks like the docs were updated. yay.

Bump! We have had scripts hitting the SWIS API using Windows authenticated accounts (with the permissions they need, because they were working) and suddenly they stopped working recently with the exact same 403 error. No upgrades/patches to Orion (other than the OS level patching) or changes to the account permissions have…

For anyone who finds this post. At this time it appears to be "SSL/HTTPS doesn't work well with the SDK". For more info on the user request enhancement see: Allow verification of the SSL cert that's used for SWIS API port (tcp/17778)

Can you check the processes running on the server (under Task Manager) for processes running for all users to make sure calc.exe isn't running, you just can't see it under your account? It shoudn't run in the background but it may be running under another account (system/admin/etc.)? Another option I'd try is to create a…

I know this post is a year old but.... bump I have an Orion server (primary poller, a VM) showing itself having all 4 CPU cores consistently (for hours) at 198-00% "CPU Load" (Its showing this in the web UI as I have the Orion server in there with standard node monitoring). All the OS tools (perfmon), vSphere tools, and…

If you want to play around wile waiting for the ticket: I'd do similar to what arodrigo.oliveira@gmail.com indicates for "test accessing" the URL - Log into the server that the NPM poller that is executing the HTTP request from. It would be best to log in as the account NPM is using to monitor with just so you know all…

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but SNMP is deprecated in windows 2012: The death of SNMP thwack link contains link to MS tecnet article, indicating: " SNMP SNMP is deprecated. Instead, use the Common Information Model (CIM), which is supported by the WS-Management web services protocol and implemented as Windows…

Update, if anyone sees this post: We're running everything listed above on SQL 2012 SP1 without obvious issues.

It's probably *not* this, but it could be some issue with Orion trying to send the email (email recipients not existing in email system you are sending to, address formatting issue, some sort of block on the email side, etc.). You can look for failed email alerts with the MS SQL query example below (If you're comfortable…

Update: Found a link to this: Automating Orion Server Installs - Final Prep which has steps to move everything (and actually make junction points). Thanks KMSigma​ !

Update: I installed a fresh NPM 12.1 [Orion Platform 2017.1.3 SP3] + SAM + NCM (whatever came latest with 12.1) specifying D:\ instead of C:\, and *not* changing the IIS install path. A quick check is showing it appears it installs things in: D:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds <- per my install instruction C:\Program…

an old post...but I had similar errors today and only 2 thwack posts pop up... reinstalling the JobEngine v2 service (and a reboot) appears to have fixed my issues BUT for MSMQ queues building up, I used to have some monitoring of them (if they were filling up at all there was an issue) and would manually clean MSMQ via…

Bump. Thanks for posting this I was going to add more DNS servers as we're changing some things in DNS around......and it appears that they're already in the system. It appears I have 6 of them set up. I can't seem to get the others listed unless I change the grouping to "Group by -> Zones, By Server".

an old post...but I had similar streaming errors today in my log on Orion v12.0.0 (and Orion issues with polling certain data) and only 2 thwack posts pop up for this error. reinstalling the JobEngine v2 service (and a reboot) appears to have fixed my issues BUT this post (not as old) has similar error if anyone ends up…

Why I don't fight: change As a monitoring admin one of my "rules" is "never fall in love with your apps". I've found as soon as I get good at one I can start doing things most people can't/don't do because it goes "beyond the easy wizard tool" or "it's not on first page of a web search". As a result, I can make the system…
