Thanks for the response!
I can't find any references to the 'return xml auot' and 'return xml raw' options on the SWQL query. Could you add that to the PDF file for the next release of the SDK?

Re: Need help understanding Poller Stats
There are several key metrics to understanding the load on your pollers.
Elements - is the total number of NPM related elements being polled by the poller
Network Node Elements - is the total number of 'nodes' being polled by the poller.
Volume Elements - is the total number of 'volumes' being polled by the poller.
Interface Elements - is the total number of 'interfaces' being polled by the poller.
These metrics are the actual elements not the number of metrics being collected. For instance, when polling an interface that you are collecting traffic statistics on, you can be collecting up to 14 metrics (i.e. Total Packets/sec, Total Bits/sec, etc). Also be aware that these element counts do not include SAM components, Hardware health monitors, Asset inventory pollers or WPM transactions.
A 24 port switch would show up as 1 Network Node Element and (depending on the number of Vlans, trunks, or subinterfaces configured) as few as 24 Interface Elements for a total of 25 elements. If you were to remove 12 interfaces it would then count as 1 network node element and 12 interfaces for a total of 13 elements.
Solarwinds claims a per poller element rate of 8,000 total elements at a statistics polling rate of 10 minutes. This element limitation does include SAM component monitors and other module polling being done on the poller, despite the fact that they are not included in the 'Elements' number. If you decrease your statistic polling then your maximum elements that can be polled on a poller decreases (i.e. If your statistic polling interval is lowered to 5 minutes your max elemets per poller is reduced to 4,000 elements.). Subsequently, you can increase your statistic polling interval you can increase the max elements per poller. However, your status polling interval has a lower impact on your poller due to the vastly lower number of metrics that are pulled.
We have pushed our pollers and found that these element/component limits are pretty accurate.
When it comes to poller load the real question is, "Are you seeing gaps in your data?" If you polling rate is high, your polling completion percentage is 99% or better, and your not seeing any gaps in your data, then poll on!
I know there's a good video that goes over the basics of poller load statistics and the 'Polling Engines' admin page. If I can find it again, I'll reply with the link.

Re: Windows Service in Unknown Status
Debug logging should be enabled on the application that you're experiencing issues with. This can be enabled within the application editor as seen below. Debug logs will be found under "C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\APM". I would however recommend seeing if this issue is limited only to the Windows Event Log Monitor, of it it also effects other components like Process/Service Monitors and Windows Performance Counters.

Re: Need help understanding Poller Stats
Thanks for the excellent information.
One thing I am not sure of yet though is what effect unmanaging an interface has. I have tried unmanaging a group of interfaces and even after leaving it for over an hour, the element counts haven’t changed.
I would try deleting the interfaces but am afraid that the next discovery would just add them back again.

Re: I'd like to create an SQL report on collected WMI Collection stats
Let me elaborate a little further
If I were to run the following:
SELECT ID, ComponentStatusID, StatisticData
FROM [dbo].[APM_PortEvidence_Detail]
WHERE StatisticDAta > 0
I'd get something like this....
| ID | ComponentStatusID | StatisticData |
| 4198607 | 5434245 | 8 |
| 4198620 | 5434258 | 2277.5 |
| 4198621 | 5434259 | 2 |
| 4198626 | 5434280 | 11 |
| 4198639 | 5434293 | 2664.327880859375 |
| 4198640 | 5434294 | 2 |
| 4198646 | 5434356 | 9 |
| 4198659 | 5434369 | 577.36041259765625 |
| 4198665 | 5434391 | 11 |
| 4198678 | 5434404 | 667.12451171875 |

| 4198699 | 5434481 | 2 |
| 4198704 | 5434502 | 11 |
| 4198713 | 5434511 | 72.33734130859375 |
My question is, where would I find to which APM component are these referring to?
I sure it needs a join to another table to resolve the component and the node (either of ID or ComponentStatusID) it's being collected by/from.
A bit clearer?
Thanks

Re: Where's your Single-Pain-Of-Glass?
I spend a non-trivial amount of my professional life switching between UCS Manager and the vSphere Web Client, for operational stuff. For monitoring, it's Orion and various apps like NPM, NTA, and SAM, with a side of vCOPs. For storage, UniSphere. While it'd be nice to have access to all of this stuff in one place, I don't see a practical way to combine these management portals. And there's always the single pane of glass vs. single point of failure conundrum.

Re: SQL Report writing - How to Sort By columns?
No changes have been made to this behavior in either 2013.1.0 or 2013.2.0. Advanced SQL Reports cannot be sorted in the Orion web interface, while regular reports created using the pick list method of the Report Writer can.

Re: Merging and Splitting Subnets
Hi Michal,
Yes, I'm mainly talking about static subnets under "Manage Subnets & IP addresses".
If the subnets are contiguous and have the same subnet mask, (i.e. 172.16.1.0/25 & 172.16.1.128/25), they could certainly be merged or splitted with a single click as there wouldn't be any overlap between the two.
If merging a smaller subnet into a larger one (i.e. 172.16.1.0/27 into 172.16.1.0/25), then a wizard might be needed to review overlapping data.
Thanks!

Re: Re: Net-SNMP stop responding when monitoring a resource
Sorry. The command is case sensitive. So you'll want to run..
rpm -qa | grep snmp
It should output something similar to the following..
[root@lab-redhat6-app ~]# rpm -qa | grep snmp net-snmp-5.5-12.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-libs-5.5-12.el6.x86_64
To upgrade NET-SNMP on the Redhat machine, it's probably easiest to use yum. It should satisfy any dependencies that also need updating.
yum install net-snmp-utils

No progress to report as yet. We have a number of other application templates we're currently working on at this time. All new templates are posted to the Content Exchange.

Alternatively, you can subscribe to the Server & Application Monitor Master Application Directory, which is updated whenever SolarWinds releases a new application template.

Re: Custom Query SWQL | Alerts with ACK and Alerts without ACK
You might even go one step further with this and define the JOIN conditions in a JOIN statement, which will significantly simplify the logic required in the WHERE clause.
Also, take note that TriggerTimeStamp is a DateTime value. You've defined it twice in the SELECT statement, once aliased as "Date", another aliased as "Time". These two columns will contain identical data. Unless you're going to strip/manipulate the data in the SELECT statement before sending to the console, you probably only need one of these values.
SELECT AS.ObjectName as Node, AS.TriggerTimeStamp as Date, AS.TriggerTimeStamp as Time, AD.Name
FROM Orion.AlertStatus AS
INNER JOIN Orion.AlertDefinitions AD ON AD.AlertDefId = AS.AlertDefId
WHERE AS.Acknowledged = 1 AND (AS.ObjectName LIKE %mpls% OR AS.ObjectName LIKE %bgp%)
ORDER BY AS.TriggerTimeStamp DESC

Re: How Do You Make The Most Of Your Flow Data?
We use NFSEN as a lightweight tool to notify us when we have DDOS attacks, showing xx amount of traffic/%. That information we keep until 7.9GB storage limit is reached. This is only to have a realtime alert for events as they happen.
We use NTA to show us all the details for the IP we find via NFSEN. I believe we are keeping 30 days of NTA (3.11) data.
I would love to use NTA more, but it is a hard sell to mgmt when we have a different (NFSEN) server that cost $0 and delivers on what matters most.
NTA is used more of a, "fill in the gaps with this info" server. It is much slower (albeit v3.11) and apparently not as smooth to navigate around.
