Register now!

 

Tune in Wednesday, December 11 at 1 pm Central for another episode of SolarWinds Lab. In this networking-focused part one of our year-end performance series, Senior Network Performance Monitor (NPM) Product Manager Jason Carrier joins Head Geeks Patrick Hubbard and Sascha Giese to reveal how to free up CPU resources, load web views faster, and spend less time managing settings.

 

What? SolarWinds Lab #82 (Part 2): Quicker Azure Monitoring, Linux Change Detection, New API Poller

When? Wednesday, December 18, 2019 @ 1pm CT

Where? lab.solarwinds.com

Register now!

 

Tune in Wednesday, December 18 at 1 pm Central for another episode of SolarWinds Lab. The first step in improving system monitoring and visibility is getting data flowing sooner rather than later. For systems engineers managing diverse resources, it can be easier said than done. In this applications- and systems-focused conclusion of our year-end performance series, Server & Application Monitor (SAM) Senior Product Manager Serena Chou joins Head Geeks Patrick Hubbard and Sascha Giese to share shortcuts to streamline Azure monitoring configuration and get the cloud performance data you need, now.

 

Then, we’ll demo the new Linux server change detection tool just added to Server Configuration Monitor (SCM). We'll wrap up by geeking out a bit with a how-to on setting up the new API poller in the 2019.4 release of the SolarWinds Orion Platform.

Ability to add labels / titles to PERFSTACK
First... Perfstack really is game changing - it is absolutely amazing. Thank you. This is your killer feature.   It would be useful to either add a label between certain graphs with custom text, or to be able to group certain graphs with an overall label.   For example:   Again - this tool provides outstanding value!

How do I configure an alert when WTI device environmentInputPower = No Power
Hello!   I'm trying to configure a custom alert that specifically alerts on two UnDPs that I configured for the following MIBs:   environmentInputPower1 INTEGER, -> .1.3.6.1.4.1.2634.1.200.10.1.22.1 environmentInputPower2 INTEGER, -> .1.3.6.1.4.1.2634.1.200.10.1.23.1   This is for WTI devices that have input power sources.

The UnDP unique name exampe, PowerInputstate (you can find this in the orion universal device poller application on the main poller assigned against the node).…

$20,000 for 100 Node SAM License?
I was working on setting up my Solarwinds lab environment to do some testing/experimenting and to have a lab environment first to apply updates and see if anything breaks.  I have access to some of the NFR software because I am a THWACK MVP but it did not include any SAM licensing so I figured I would reach out to sales and get a quote for a 100… (Show moreShow less)

This is what turns me off Log Analyzer for Orion. - Tagging was part of legacy NPM trap viewer but under the new LA "feature" it has been removed from NPM and you now need to buy Log Analyzer - If you go over the license count for LA, you don't just lose all the additional features that LA provides but you also lose all the basic features such…

SQL Monitoring
Our database team is very reluctant to provide the sysadmin credentials for the database servers. Is there any way that we can monitor the database servers without the provision of sysadmin credentials. Like in SAM, a SQL server can be monitored to some extent using a limited rights user. I have tried DPA and SQL Sentry One, but both need… (Show moreShow less)

You can see the permissions that DPA uses here: See SQL Server Permissions required for DPA for a full list of permissions required for DPA to monitor an SQL Server database.  Registering SQL Server without the SysAdmin Password (12.0, 12.1)

Alerts that execute perl
We have recently moved our NPM over to new Servers and updated to NPM 12.5.  We use NPM primarily to monitor network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls, APs, etc.) and have it working with our HPSM ticketing system to generate tickets on alerts. We have a few alerts setup that executes a program using perl when a WAN interface goes… (Show moreShow less)

Yes it looks like it may be Perl module related.  The old server had ActivePerl 5.1.42 and now it looks like 5.26 or 5.28 are available.  I am having trouble getting some of the modules needed installed for both 5.26 and 5.28.  The following are the modules being called.  I have been able to get Net::Telnet:Cisco and MIME::Lite installed but…

Day 8: Virtualization
In the early days of computing, physical hardware was confined to singular tasks, for example, calculators. As computers advanced, we began to be able to multitask, enhancing the ability to run simultaneous applications in parallel, such as running Microsoft Word while also having a web browser open and Spotify playing music in the background.  … (Show moreShow less)

Day 7: Troubleshoot
It’s probably fair to assume most of us are paid to solve problems, and we’re darn good at it. More than likely, you make a living by troubleshooting problems, so I know I’m preaching to the choir by trying to describe or define the word “troubleshooting,” but here’s my spiel. My troubleshooting process revolves around two core ideas:… (Show moreShow less)
