Ideas for holistic self-monitoring of SolarWinds

As the various SolarWinds Orion tools (in particular NPM and SAM) have evolved, the user community has gradually been provided with the ability to have Orion monitor itself in a pretty complete fashion.

I would be very interested to see how users are accomplishing this.

So:

1. How do you use SAM templates (Appinsight for IIS, Appinsight for SQL, Orion Server) to monitor your SolarWi9nds systems?

2. What perf counters are meaningful to you and how do you determine thresholds?

3. What else do you do to gain insight into the actual performance of Solarwinds?

Thank you, and I look forward to your responses.
