Have a look at the SolarWinds Success Center, here's a link to their SAM training section - Server & Application Monitor (SAM) Training - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support​ First get the monitors in place, there are a few resources there to get you started and once the monitoring is in place, then it's time to…

Hi Ed, Why don't you build your own Big Panda monitoring template? SAM provides a fantastic toolset for creating your own monitors, for example use the Real Time Process viewer or the Service Viewer to monitor processes and services, there are Windows Event log monitors and failing that you can integrate so much with…

Let me elaborate a little further If I were to run the following: SELECT ID, ComponentStatusID, StatisticData FROM [dbo].[APM_PortEvidence_Detail] WHERE StatisticDAta > 0 I'd get something like this....…

aLTeReGo thanks. I can see what appears to be my GPU metrics in there, but which table has the lookup for APM_PortEvidence_Detail's ID and/or ComponentStatusID columns? I've spent a couple of hours trying to find the table, and despite searching across the table schemas, have yet to find it. <span class="kwd"…

Hi blueyviii​ How did you define the group? Is it a static or dynamic assignment? 

Can you provide the spec of your VM? CPUs, Memory and disk sizes/numbers. What products do you have installed (including non SolarWinds applications)? How many elements are you polling? Go to your <Server Name>/Orion/Admin/Details/Engines.aspx page and review the element count and polling rates. Have you had a look at the…

Here is the default snmpd.conf file we use: ########################################### # snmpd.conf ########################################### #Access control #1.Community strings into Security Name #sec.name source comm-string com2sec notConfigUser default <community-string> #2.Security name to Group group…

You could set up a report to read the traps, from the Traps database table. First use some SQL to first find the trap types you want: SELECT TOP (250)[DateTime] ,[IPAddress] ,[Community] ,[Hostname] ,[NodeID] ,[TrapType] FROM [SolarWinds].[dbo].[Traps] WHERE Hostname LIKE '<enter trap origin hostname/IP here>' --In my…

What time zone are you in? I suspect that there's something amiss with the UTC timestamps and your TOLOCAL function conversions.

Yes you can, and in fact I would advise it, as it this is the only way to get a full integration between the products. We installed it on a separate server, as we didn't require (a £££ constraint really) it to be included in our SolarWinds HA setup and subsequently learnt that it operates piratically as a standalone bit of…

If the ports are down, they are not available. Can you set the ports to Admin Down status? That way they won't report as down in NPM and it may fix your problem

Hi TiggyWiggler, Can you do an snmpwalk of the device, especially the interface table SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1? Have a look in Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion you will find a GUI executable called snmpwalk.exe. Enter in your IP and the correct SNMP details and have a look at the output (which saves into a text…

We also have issues with is, one problem being that the Idle state that fires off the alert, when examined from the devices CLI shows a nugget of additional information Idle(admin). This Idle(admin) is similar to an admin-down'ed interface port, but when viewed from SNMP (poll or trap) this is lost. Though this is the…

Interface polling uses the MIB-2 Interfaces (1.3.6.1.2.1.2) table, so it is using standard MIBs, adding another MIB won't change the information you are getting back from the device. What you might be able to do is to create Universal Device Poller (UDP), to poll specific HP OIDs and report them back via graph or a table,…

I had a similar request a few years back, and I asked SolarWinds for assistance. When i asked if they had any product comparisons, they supplied some documentation detailing where the SolarWinds products match or beat their competitors. Now this was a few years ago and things might have changed, and I know these documents…

Hi Praveen, The first error indicates that you aren't passing the correct credentials, if you look at the powershell monitor and the 'Credential for Monitoring:', you'll see that it defaults to <None>. If you set it to <Inherit credentail from node> or any other valid credential, does it work? If it;s still failing the…

Is the port being filtered/blocked by network security? Any recent changes to your network security? Nmap is a great tool to test this: nmap -sU -p161 <server IP> (you will need either to run this in an elevated admin command prompt or sudo, depending on your system) Wireshark will certainly give you a better idea of what…

Does this look familar? The problem is that the SNMP agent on the NetScalers just does not present volume information. I found this Citrix NetScaler SNMP OID Reference​, in which I found nsSysHealthDiskTable (1.3.6.1.4.1.5951.4.1.1.41.8), but this only details two volumes, /var and /falsh. So I think it is just that the…

If you happen to use Nvidia cards, there is a lovely WMI extension for it, available from the Nvidia SDK, that you can utilise this with Nvidia GPU Template #shamelessplug

Can you access his PRTG setup and find out what SNMP OIDs he is using? I doubt that there is specific MIB for the miners, as most (i have played with a few) run on pretty single purpose miner daemons (which are not SNMP instrumented), so it is probably the standard SNMP OIDs, for CPU, memory, etc, but it might save you…

Have a look at Re: Resource for Nodes with Muted Alerts, where @ jdumke has supplied a SWQL script to get exactly that information. Wrap it into a report and then display that as an element on a suitable summary view.

Agents are the way forward then and they will have to be installed as agent initiated communication. This way your Orion platform can differentiate between the two servers.

You wont be able to add both servers on the same FQDN, unless you use agents (with agent initiated communication). Typically what I would do, would be to monitor both underlying devices by their IP addresses and then add the FQDN as a seperate ICMP polled only node. I would then set up the application/service monitoring…

If you cannot ping the devices, add the nodes as external devices, this way they won;t be polled but you can enter their details. Once the device are available/live again, switch the polling to ICMP/WMI/SNMP/Agent and off you go.

Also, you can Go the the servers' view (or From Manage Nodes) and chose the List Resources, and then remove the memory allocations under volumes. Why we still have these memory listed under volumes, I don't fully understand. But I know within our environment (of several thousand monitored devices) we have them unselected…

Hi Stuart, There are many feature requests for better node admin granularity, but some of what you want can be achieved now, except as you guessed no.3 on your list. 1. Admin account 2. Allow Node Management Rights, but remove Allow Administrator Rights 3. Not possible, without two accounts (guest type account for R/O and…

SolarWinds acquired the Swedish company back in 2018, they kept the product name and it's been on their price list ever since.https://www.solarwinds.com/pingdom And yes you can purchase it through SolarWinds - Pingdom - Uptime, Website, & Performance Monitoring | SolarWinds 

Go to the node and List Resources and make sure that Asset Inventory is selected. Then go to the Asset Inventory view for that node (once its had a chance to poll): And you should see a Software Inventory, that lists every installed package on your system.

I raised a support ticket on a very similar problem and they provided me with the following SQL, we used it to create a view and then we use that for a Web Help Desk discovery to populate serials into our Asset DB. I should stress, that you'll need NCM installed and configured... SELECT SW_Nodes.NodeID AS [Resource ID],…

The only map we have that isn't littered with customer details. But I would have to conclude, Atlas is long overdue an update, it is slow and cumbersome. Filtering would be rather handy, other products I have used, have the ability to only display elements (on the map) that meet the criteria, such as node down, or CPU busy…
