Hi @"Sparveen" Go through the below links: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/Content/Core-Creating-a-New-Dependency-sw1316.htm https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/content/core-automatic-dependencies-sw1154.htm

If SQL DB is running on a different server, check if the server on which SolarWinds is being installed can talk to SQL DB and check if port and credentials are in place. If you are planning to install SQL DB on same server, during installation you should select SQL Express or built in DB and the DB gets installed on same…

Hello @"andrew.bellisario" Welcome to thwack and SolarWinds suite of products: 1. Start of with the videos first https://support.solarwinds.com/resources search for SAM Videos here and on Youtube. 2. If you have access to customer portal that's even better, you can learn a lot there, you can pick any session you want under…

Wow, Nice @"DN" Why do you want to create an alert ? Rather you can just create a node inventory report and add that custom property onto the report to verify the same. I haven't tried anything of this sort but it should be possible. Try creating a Custom SQL Alert (select query to check for blank fields on that custom…

Here you go, provides the next hop details and the interface that it is connected to.

If you have Orion SAM use AppInsight for Exchange https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/SAM/Content/SAM-AppInsight-for-Exchange-sw1418.htm

But then if you are looking for an event when a node was added to a Group, you have similar Audit events called: Group Member definition added Group Member definition deleted Group Member definition changed Note: But this audit event will not capture the 'Node Name' rather it will capture the 'Node id' in the audit event.

Hello @"cwjohnson3rd" If I understood your question properly, this is what you are looking for. 1. Alerts & Activity -> Message Center, When a node is added and they forget to add the group name value on custom property that you have created, it will appear under Audit Events. It would look like this -> User Admin/Username…

To the best of my knowledge no it can't be done, i am not sure what is the maximum number of escalations that you can add on an Orion Alert but it would definitely let you create as many as you want. As part of testing i have myself tried upto 10 Escalations on a trigger action.

Can you do a list resource on that node and check if C:\drive is selected under list resources page ? If its unselected then that's the root cause. Delete the existing one and select the one shown under list resources.

You can use both - your primary poller and additional poller for SAM template specific monitoring, its just that you are getting confused and from all your queries the only thing you gotta check is -> can your Orion server handle the load in terms of CPU and Memory if you run NPM and SAM on it, if it cant either upgrade…

1. You can use SAM APE for node discovery + template monitoring. 2. It will not poll NPM specific things - correct, but that wouldn't affect you, you can still monitor the node and base parameters with SAM which are Device up/down, cpu, memory, disk..... 3. SolarWinds Orion will differentiate it based on the license bucket…

perfect, thank you.

But then if you are specifically looking at point 3 , do let me know I can give it a try

3. If you are using unmanage scheduler to unmanage nodes/volumes/applciations you will have to check for the name of under Task Scheduler after creating a unmanage scheduler. You can monitor those tasks by using the new feature that is present in below link "Windows Scheduled Tasks" option missing under "List Resources"

2. You can create a report for all unmanaged nodes and make it visible on your Solarwinds portal (Get onto the poller -> Start -> All Programs -> Solarwinds Orion -> Alerting, Reporting, and Mapping -> Report Writer -> Create New Report -> Current Status of Nodes, Volumes, etc)

1. If you want an alert when ever you unmanage the node, you will have to create an advanced alert (Get onto the poller -> Start -> All Programs -> Solarwinds Orion -> Alerting, Reporting, and Mapping -> Advanced Alert Manager - > Configure Alerts) Create a new alert , I have attached trigger condition and trigger action…

Answer to this question would be 'We would need to re apply the settings after each upgrade as the file would be over written'

Hi Mike, Did you get an answer for the same from support Will these changes remain throughout upgrades/patches/hotfixes etc or will I always have to reapply the settings. ???

Regarding my 1st question related to licensing, as you said if NPM and SAM are on same server, and we add one device, by default one license will be consumed from NPM store.In this case can we say that we will not be able to discover any device particularly using SAM discovery? - No, you will be able to discover using SAM.…

Hi aLTeReGo​, I have a follow up question on this. When i deploy SAM on say NPM Server which has a SL2000 and new SAM node based license is AL4000 which sums up to 6000 nodes, does that mean i can discover the interfaces after 2000 devices ? assuming i just have one primary poller and no APE.

Hi Suman, 1. At first no matter what you gotta deploy/install SAM on your NPM Server (& apply SAM licenses), for unified console, alerts, reports etc, everything under a single hood and now that i have the licensing details cleared, its like adding additional node licenses on your existing NPM Server. You mentioned your…

Ah! sorry for that stupid mistake, yes 6000 it is , well thanks ok so it add's upto the node license count - nice Thank you aLTeReGo

No, you have to do some research on this yourself, but then in one of the Zabbix blogs he says sending syslog from Zabbix into other NMS is easy, you can try that option as well as, SolarWinds can consume Syslog messages. 1. SNMP Trap -> SolarWinds 2. Syslog -> SolarWinds…

what version of NPM are you using ?

Hi aLTeReGo​ One last stupid question, what would happen to NTA if FSDB is down? I now understand that FSDB stores & retains flow data. Would NTA stop completely or last poll (flow collected) would still be available on the GUI?

Thank you

correct, please check if you have added these emails ids on that trigger action.

Thank you , i agree with you on that one, but down the lane wont it create performance issues (as Orion grows in size) ? Please do let me know your views on the same .......... Would you think having a separate server would help ? Or do we have any plans of merging them in future versions ? (I mean merging the 2 DB's into…

If you are going with point 4 which is stopping the alerting service, just open your Orion Service Manager, start all services and immediately click on 'SolarWinds Alerting Service V2' dont pause and stop it, this should do the trick Or you could even start the other service one after the other except for this, or even…
