I have a host that shows the error message "Unexpected error occured. Invalid class" for all Windows Service Monitors (using the application template Windows 2003-2008 so DTC, Network Connections, Protected Storage and Remote Registry).
I've tried the wmiadap /f command and rebuilt the WMI repository, etc to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Hi clever people...
has anyone managed to solve the problem of monitoring WMI stuff from APM, when the APM poller sits on the remote site of a firewall tot he device being monitored? if i disable all rules, and make it any:any, then it works but if i have a firewall blocking all but the WMI single port, and have NATs in place, then i am scuppered.
any help would be great!
Solarwinds, what i would ideally need is a remote poller for APM, to sit on the remote site of the firewall and router, and report back into my set of ALX pollers in my management network...
any help?
We have a number of groups that we want to be able to log in and see just the servers they're responsible for. The trick is we only want them to be able to see ping availability and drive space. Is there anyway to restrict what they see when they click on a device and it pulls up the node details?
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if solarwinds software is compliant with ISO 27001. If so is there any evidence of this?
Hi All,
New to Orion, and working to get it setup in our environment. Google hasn't helped much with this one. Can anyone suggest the WMI Namespace that I would need to add to look at MSMQ Queue Sizes? I would like to setup alerts if a queue has more than X messages in it.
Thanks,
Chris
Hello,
For some reason I cannot get the domain account to work on SAM Polling Method. Even if I added the account to the local admin on the target machine. It still unable to poll. The test fails.
If I use a local admin account it works. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Has anyone ran into this issue?
Thanks
We are trying to add a Windows 2012 Hyper-V server to Orion but are having trouble getting WMI configured so that Orion can poll it. Has anybody else had problems with this or have any suggestions on how to get it working properly?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
I just downloaded the new App Monitor Module. The main reason is for WMI polling. I am new to WMI, I understand there needs to be a certain level of access to the Windows server for Orion to poll WMI. What level of access is needed. Our Windows team is very protective of their servers and who they give access to and how much access is given. I am not a member of the that team so I can forsee a challenge.
Here is an example of a perl script that is ran on the server every 3 minutes (sfa_fileage.sh). Solarwinds is logging the commands in history. Is there away to not log this information?
997 sh
998 PS1='__SOLAR_WINDS_APM__'
999 perl /usr/crown/scripts/sfa_fileage.sh
1000 echo $?

Looking at one of my server nodes under disk volumes, one of the drives was low on space and reporting size, space used, and the percent bar graph. Eventually all the space was consumed and the volume still appears, but the size, space used, and bar graph are blank.
Is this a known bug? I became aware of this issue because I have an alert that warns on low disk space. When disk space available hit 0, the alert condition was being reported as no longer true which I knew was not correct. But the fact that the statistics show as null explains why the condition might not be calculating correctly.

Dear Sir or Madam -
We would like to automatically export both SAM templates and alerts.
We undertstand that this can be done manually via the user interfaces.
We are trying protect against cases of accidental modification or deletion.
Does Solarwinds have any tools that will allow us to automatically export templates and alerts ?
We are hoping for command-line programs or scripting interfaces.
Thank you.

I've been fighting how to get process monitoring on AIX for about a month now. First off, if you are using
thenative SNMP agent that comes with the OS, it's likely you won't get it to function until future OS releases.
They don't support the RFC 2790 Host-Resources-MIB that you need and unless you are a complete genius
with Unix and SNMP, don't waste time trying to get that avenue working. Use Net-SNMP from
http://net-snmp.org. Net-SNMP is native to most modern version of Linux now, and it works without
configuration, practically. Expect to bang your head a bit, but you can get it working on AIX, too.
Here's how:
First off, some resources I'd rather not blatantly plagiarize:
http://andrea.brancatelli.it/blog/2007/05/29/net-snmp-on-aix/
and
These two sites have gotten me pretty much 75% of the way through the process of getting NET-SNMP
properly installed on AIX. It's really not a difficult job (once you do it right once).
Download the files from Net-SNMP to your AIX server and when you get to the ./configure, STOP.
Use this command instead:
./configure --enable-as-needed --without-kmem-usage --with-mib-modules=host
This one trick will save you a lot of time getting the compile to give you exactly what you want. I would recommend using v2c and public as a community string until you have snmpwalk working,then change for security. If you have problems the following two commands are very valuable tools: /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -L
and snmp -v 2c -c public -m ALL localhost .1.3 | more
Once you think you have it installed properly, use the following command to verify: snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -m ALL localhost .1.3 | more When you see about 80 pages of HOST-RESOURCE-MIB data, you have done it! Now change yourcommunity string for security or move to SNMPv3 (my next project) Note: This will not give you a display of processes like Application Monitor used to. You have to knowwhatprocesses you want to monitor with Application Performance Monitor. Just put your snmpwalk to
a lis file anduse the info from there. Once I got it working once, it was a piece of cake.

Is there a way to use SAM to monitor a Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 mirror? I have a user that needs to know when a SQL mirror fails over and I cannot figure out how to do it using SAM. I saw a few things here at Thwack, but nothing I could use for this.
Any help is appreciated.
