How to Monitor the Monitor

The Orion template isn't sufficient?

I'm still a novice, so it very well may be, but I'm not certain what that is.

The Orion Template is inside of SAM. If you purchased SAM go in to it and search for a template named Orion and you will find it.

On my system from the main NPM page its under My Dashboards > Home > SAM Summary then Manage Applications > Application Monitor Templates then

use the Search function and search for orion.

I've done as bobmarley described in the past.  I had two installs that were almost identical...each running NPM and SAM (and quite a few other modules).  Using the SAM template was helpful for each to monitor the other.  You didn't mention, so I will ask...do you have SAM module?  Just the one SolarWinds installation?

I've got SAM. I had hoped Solarwinds had it standard somewhere, mostly because there didn't seem to be any discussions about it that I could find. Much appreciated bobmarley​ and d09h​. I'll give it a go and see if it is what I need.

UPDATE: I do not see an Orion Server template in my list. Maybe it got deleted at some point? I don't know. Working to get it imported.
