Application Monitoring Challenges
• On-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments?
• Visibility, control, and access varies widely
• Multi-cloud use is common and are on the rise
• A unified view is needed
• Application infrastructure dependencies (server, VM, storage, database)
• Advanced troubleshooting requires a correlation of infrastructure metrics
• Getting a view of historical network and systems metrics gets everyone on the same
page
• Virtualized environments are complex, dynamic, and require special tools or skills
• Migrating applications to the cloud requires scenario planning and capacity forecasting
• Monitoring performance impacts and reporting are critical

@solarwinds
Server & Application Monitor Overview
• Is designed to monitor your applications and the support infrastructure
• Can monitor servers and applications running on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid
environment
• Server performance monitoring, such as CPU, Memory, and Disk Usage
• Application monitoring - processes, services, event logs, applications, and databases
• Comprehensive monitoring for Microsoft applications, systems, hypervisors, IaaS,
PaaS, and SaaS products
• Advanced alerting and reporting

9
@solarwinds
Server & Application Monitor Features
• Application monitoring
• SAM includes 1,200+ application templates
• Office 365 monitoring, including OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Skype, Skype for Business,
Teams, and others
• Ability to create your own to support custom/home-grown applications, using SNMP, WMI,
PowerShell, and REST APIs
• AppInsight™ feature provides detailed monitoring of Active Directory, MS SQL Server,
IIS, and Exchange
• Visualize and map the relationships between applications and servers
• SAM can easily integrate with other products on the Orion® Platform
• Ways to view the data – AppStack™, PerfStack™, and Orion Maps

10
@solarwinds
Monitor Server Configurations
• Detect changes to your Windows and Linux servers
• Hardware and software changes
• Application changes to IIS and MS SQL Server
• Use scripts to monitor changes
• Compare changes over time
• Correlate change information to the performance information
With SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor (SCM)

11

(VMAN)

14
@solarwinds
Database Performance

15
@solarwinds
Database Challenges
• We run databases everywhere – on-premises, in the cloud, or both
• We run numerous database platforms and versions, both proprietary and open-
source
• We need to see real-time and historical data for troubleshooting
• We need help to identify performance issues – is there a hardware issue, a
databases issue, or a query issue?
• We need to see how code changes will impact the database performance
• Multiple people need to have access to the data, not just the DBAs

16

@solarwinds
What Is AppStack?
AppStack is a feature of the Orion Platform that allows
our products to share data for contextual visibility,
relationship mapping, and troubleshooting
More products can help ensure more details are collected
and available.
Server & Application Monitor – Visibility to apps,
OS, servers, and virtualization (basic metrics) layers
for on-premises and hybrid cloud environments
Virtualization Manager – Visibility to VMs, hosts,
clusters, and datastore/CSVs with comprehensive
metrics and recommendations
Storage Resource Monitor – Visibility and capacity
planning to SAN and NAS array LUNs, raid groups,
volumes, and disks
Database Performance Analyzer – Monitors
database performance for on-premises and hybrid
cloud environments
Web Performance Monitor – Visibility into the end-
user experience for web and SaaS application
transactions

19
@solarwinds
What Is PerfStack?
Cross-stack correlation for your IT data
• Drag and drop metrics into a composite metrics
dashboard
• Compare disparate metrics and events across
hybrid infrastructure
• Get help identifying patterns and the
root cause of problems
• Go back in time to help understand the cause of
past system behavior
• Participating products: NPM, NCM, NTA,
VNQM, SAM, SCM, LA, VMAN, SRM, DPA,
WPM
