Switch Port Mapper - Hirschmann Switches
Switch port mapper fails to identify the ifname on Hirschmann switches, is there any way I can correct this? Additionally, I would like to be able to omit the optical ports of these switches so that I do not collect information from devices connected via these interfaces. Is there any way I can be selective about which ports are mapped?

Business View Device Font Colour
Just a quick and hopefully easy question regarding Business View, I have searched the options in the MapMaker trying to find a location to change the font colour of the devices or add a background to make them stand out a bit more against the aerial photography that we are using. I have looked through the maps.conf in the conf directory trying to find a fontColor tag or something. This file directed me too look at examplemaps.conf which i could not locate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris
Installing OpUtils in Suse Linux

reconfiguring downtime schedule does not reenable management
I created a downtime schedule in opmanager 6.0, build 6015. Unfortunately, it was for the wrong day (today, 4/5 instead of tomorrow, 4/6). To fix this, I edited the schedule and used the calendar 'date selector' to reset the start and end date of the downtime. This schedule applied to all devices in category "Server." After applying my update, none of my Server devices became "managed." In fact, after stopping/starting the opman Windows services (opman and apache), none of my Server devices were
View Network Status - "Guest"
Tried searching for this and could not find anything. So, my question is, I have OpManager and our IT manager would like other IT people (non technicians) to be able to go to a web site and see a network status without having to log in. Basically, it's similiar in scope to Whats Up Gold's "Guest" account. Which would probably be OK, but I'd rather be able to post elements from the OpManager home page onto our intranet (like categories and whats in alarm status). Is any or all of this currently possible?

Disk Report - Percentage Used Between x and x.
While the disk reports are already very nice one addition I think that could really take them to the next level is a new column that allows one to specify a percent change between certain dates. For example, let's say I get a disk report today. It would have a column that would say "1%", "10%", etc. This would indicate the change in free space between today and yesterday (or today and seven days ago, whatever range is specified). Even just have a few default ones (e.g. yesterday, last week, last

Configuration Cisco router 1800 with MSP OpManager
Hello, I downloaded the trial version (MSP OpManager) and I installed it on my WindowsXP, and I have a cisco router running in my office (1841 series), and I need to install the "probe" on my server's clients, and according to the manual, I have to connect to my IP address (central server) but my laptop (with private IP) is behind my cisco router (with the public IP) , so my question is if I have to open a port on the cisco router ? and I need to forward the data from the router to the laptop?

Ordered Disk Scheduled Reporting.
I already submitted a support request for this issue, and received a reply, but figured it would be useful to the OpManager community to be aware of the issue and know that AdventNet has been informed of the issue and has assured me they are working on a fix for this problem. == When one generates a one-time all disks report in OpManager - it displays fine. However, if one schedules the report to occur regularly when it is sent to an email box it appears unordered. Thus, the drives are not ordered

Site 24x7 Integration into OpManager 6.
Compared to Site 24x7's url monitoring, OpManager 6 is primitive. What's the chance that the Site24x7 code base could be integrated into OpManager? It would be great to have this sort of functionality - including the recorder built right into OpManager, especially since Site24x7 can become prohibitively expensive if you have a large number of pages you need to check. David.

Checking of URL availability
Is there a document on how does OPManager check the availability of a URL? Cause in some cases, even if the URL is up... it still shows that the URL is down and when I try to test via "TEST URL" it times out; but if I manually inputted the url on the explorer it works fine. Also 1 more thing, is there a way to create a rule if the threshold is violated n times before it sends out an alarm to avoid false positive? Thanks

Can't disable SQL alert
Hi, I am evaluating whether or not to purchase the OpManager SQL monitor. I am using OpManager to monitor a W2k3 machine with SQL 2005. I'm using the WMI SQL monitor to watch some stats. I am getting a lot of alerts about the MSSQL cache hit ratio. I've tried to adjust the threshold and have even removed that specific monitor, but still get notifications about it. What can I do? Thanks, arlyn

Newbie to SNMP
Hi there, Looking at OpManager MSP at the moment and want to see if it can monitor McAfee AntiVirus products. Alert Manager from McAfee can send SNMP traps out so I figure I can set something up but don't understand how SNMP works. My questions: Am I on the right track, and if so, what are the basic steps involved? (Don't worry about detail, it'd just be handy to know the very top level steps involved so I'll know if I'm heading in the right direction). Can anyone point me to a good website/guide/book

Monitoring IBM as400 resources
Hi I have an IBM as400 server with OS/400 V5R3M0. I want to be monitored by OpManager. I have the idea that i can achieve this with a telnet monitor, to open the server CLI, execute a command and then OpManager parses the result of the command and saves it to the OpManager Database just to be presented in the application. Also i think i must update the hostresource.xml file where i need to write this commands, and the parsing method. But i have not found these commands for doing this. Do you know

Status doesn't update!
Hi all, For a few moths we are using OpManager and sometimes the status doesn't update on a device until i manually update status or rediscover. In some rare cases i have to go to the alarms section and clear the alarm! And another thing: When I Rediscover a device all the historic status is clear, including the "Today's Availability" that changes to 100% available! Any ideas? Tanks, Manuel Pereira.
Guide to how the security features work
Hi, Trying to find some documentation on how the security features work but the user guide doesn't mention them at all. I would like to know where the updates brought down for updating one pc are held after the update is applied. Is there a repository held on the central server or on each probe so that the same update is downloaded over and over again for each PC? If so, where? Also, how do you schedule when the updates are applied? Is it the "schedule settings" tab on the left? 3rdly, when I tested
