Documentation forServer & Application Monitor
Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of Hybrid Cloud Observability and is also available in a standalone module, Server & Application Monitor (SAM). Hybrid Cloud Observability and SAM are built on the self-hosted SolarWinds Platform.

Calculations & Thresholds

The following settings designate methods for calculating availability and transmission rate baselines, select the SolarWinds SAM node warning level and counter type, and indicate security preferences for community strings and other potentially sensitive information in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

Availability Calculation (advanced)

This setting designates the type of calculation SolarWinds SAM performs to determine device availability. For more information, see Calculate node availability and a baseline in SAM.

Baseline Calculation (advanced)

Upon startup, SolarWinds can calculate a baseline for the transmission rates of the various elements of your network. This baseline is used as a starting point for any comparison statistics. For more information, see Calculate a baseline.

Allow Secure Data on Web (advanced)

In the interest of security, sensitive information about your network is not viewable in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console. However, if your network is properly secured, you may check this option to allow the viewing of community strings and other potentially sensitive information within the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

This setting does not affect the display of custom reports that you export to the web. For more information see Create a web-based report.

Node Warning Level

Devices that do not respond to polling within this designated period of time display as Down in the SolarWinds Platform Web Consolee. By default, this value is 120 seconds.

Counter Rollover

This option sets the type of counter SolarWinds SAM is to use. For more information, see Handle counter rollovers.
