Is there an On Premises version of SPM that I can run on my own servers
A: Yes there is. Please see SPM On Premises Edition.
Is there a limit to how many servers I can monitor with SPM
A: Each plan has a limit, but it is pretty high and if you need to monitor more servers just let us know.
Can I use SPM to monitor any application
A: SPM can be used to monitor any UNIX server and any Java application in addition to monitoring specific applications.
Does SPM work on Windows
A: We have not tested it, but it should work, except for the installer script and a cron job for log management. It should work completely under Cygwin.

A: Yes, SPM On Premises Edition is available. The On Premises version is identical to the Cloud version and you can get an evaluation version to try it out.Which Applications can SPM monitor

How do I install Collectd
...
| Code Block |
|---|
<Plugin csv> DataDir /opt/spm/collectd/logs StoreRates true </Plugin> |
If you are already using Collectd and if the DataDir is already pointed to some other directory, simply symlink the /spm/collectd/logs directory to the directory specified in DataDir, like this:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo mkdir -p /opt/spm/collectd # if needed sudo ln -s /some/existing/collectd/data/dir /opt/spm/collectd/logs |
You will also have to merge the remaining part of the Collectd config required by SPM.Is there a Chef Recipe for the SPM client

A: Filters have 1 day granularity, which means that a server will be listed under Hosts filter until 24 hours since it last sent data have passed. For example, if a server stopped sending data at 1 PM and if at 8 PM you are looking at the last 6 hours of data (for a period from 2 PM until 8 PM) you will not see data from this server on the graph, but you will still see this server listed under the Hosts filter until 1 PM on the following day. After 1 PM on the following day this server should disappear from the Hosts filter.
I rebooted my server and now I don't see any data in my graphs. What should I check

I am using SPM for Solr and I don't see any data on Solr and JVM reports, what is the problem
A: You should probably enable JMX in your Solr. Add or uncomment the <jmx /> directive in solrconfig.xml and restart Solr. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJmx for more info.
I am using SPM for Solr and I don't see any data only in Solr Components or Errors reports, what should I do
A: Most likely you are using standalone variant of Solr monitor. In that case, SPM monitor can't collect metrics which are available only when running in-process. If so, switch to in-process (javaagent) version of SPM monitor.
