SAM Release Notes 5.0.1

Open Issues in this Release This release of SolarWinds SAM includes the following open issues:
Oracle probe not working with Oracle 11g via IPv6 due to the limitations of the ADO.Net driver. (Use
ODP.NET to correct this issue.) The EntryID field value is duplicated in the Windows Event Log Monitor
configuration section. However, if the value is written to the second field, that value is deleted but will work
correctly for the first EntryID field. The TACACS+ User Experience Monitor goes into a state of Unknown
rather than Down when the TACACS+ server is unable to respond. VMware Hardware Health polling through
the VCenter does not work on additional pollers. Until this is corrected, there are currently two workarounds:
1) Poll the VMware server directly instead of through the vCenter. 2) Move the vCenter to the primary SAM
server instead of any additional pollers.

This release of SAM includes the following fixes and updates:
RTPE polling via SNMP fails when hrSWRunPerfCPU overflows to a negative value. Test jobs set to run in
64-bit mode were not running in 64-bit mode. Starting the Orion Module Engine services in the wrong order
caused issues. Nagios: Broken test result of component. Improper components are displayed in the Test
Results table when assigning components to node. Manually Assign Application monitors: "Where do you
want to apply" page getting stuck with over 1,000 nodes in several groups. DHCPMessage - IsIPAddress
check method is incorrect in the case of DHCPv6. RTPE: Backslash in credential name gets lost. Hardware
monitoring: Error when saving data to database. Hardware: ESX servers are not polling Hardware data on
Additional Pollers. SNMP Process Monitor does not handle trailing whitespaces. Overflow in delete

The Same. RTPE does not work for users with account limitation related to node entity.
APM-OrionReportWriter.schema fixed to handle Node dependencies. RTPE issue with account limitations.
Linux Scripts temporary files are always deleted from target server. SAM not seeing all disks. Improve
performance of processing SNMP process probe results. DHCP User Experience Monitor over IPv6 fails
when acting as dhcp relay agent. IBM Disk Drive collecting from wrong WMI class. IBM servers missing
model number for WMI nodes. Thwack: Cannot export template, exporting never ends. Windows Service
Monitor (WMI): Improve performance by grouping all monitors during application polling job. Hardware:
HPSNMP poller is not polling all the sensors for Powersupply. WMI: Cannot connect to certain computers via
IP address. Windows Service monitor: Cannot find Services on Windows 2003. Hardware monitoring: Power
Meter sensors are under Other category. Realtime Process Monitor is not able to monitor certain linux
