Configuring SW monitoring and alerts

Hi,

I am totally new to Solar winds and my client needs to use SW to monitor below metrics. I need to understand how it works and what kind of monitor I need to install for it.

  • Most if not all of what you asked would be either natively available or able to be scripted with SAM (process/service monitoring, performance counters, etc of Windows and Linux/Unix are all in SAM's wheelhouse), but since you had a lot of VMWare counters in your list you're also likely going to need Virtualization Manager, which integrates with SAM quite nicely. Sorry that you didn't get any replies sooner- most likely because you posted this in the Network Configuration Manager section but asked questions pertaining to servers and virtualization.
