Time to Deploy, opmanager vs nagios, windows or linux
From the folks who are using this product to manage primarily network equipment, what was the timeline like to deploy the opmanager, populate the device inventory and set up reports? Also, any preferences or opinions between windows and linux version and finally anybody switch from nagios to opmanager and what were the reasons.
Network Interfaces PIX
Dear Opmanager support, Currently we have two PIX's in our network, both being monitored by Opmanager, which is great software ;) But, we are only able to view the interface stats of one PIX. The other interfaces all display NA graphs and stats, although both PIX's are running the same firmware version and settings. We are using the latest version from adventnet's downloads section. Any idea where to look for the solution regarding our problem? Regards,
SNMP trap notification
Can OpManager send SNMP notification traps to other systems ?
Recovery notification
Wanted to know if OpManager can send a recovery notification. this capability is very useful when reviewing notifications remotely (especially over SMS), so administrator can receive a notification when service has been recovered. Lahav Savir lahavs@ixi.com

total number of devices supported
I am considering purchasing the software and would like to know a couple of things.... from people using the software, is anybody using OpManager to monitor 400 devices. I will be using it to monitor up/down status mostly for routers, switches and firewalls -- am I expecting too much to think that I can use OpManager to manage this many devices? Are any people here using opmanager as part of a managed service for customers and can you put multiple customers on the same opmanager? I want to know if
integration with SD plus
Why opmanager is not getting connected to sd server?? Both are on different machine and in the same network. both can have each other console seen through the ie explorer. both machine can ping also to each other. then why is the following error occcuring shown in the attachment. Plz help me fast i am stuck.
Several questions
We are in the process of evaluating OPManager and have several questions. I hope you will be able to answer them. Will the home page be customizable? On the sever snapshot page we can view the processes that are running, can the percent of CPU and memory be shown for each process? Is there a way for people who are logged in with admin rights, have a place at the top of every screen that will flash the color of any alarm that goes off and when you clicked on it, it will take them right to the alarm?
what this alarm means actually?
ID=10016 Source=DCOM Type=1 Message=The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064}
Adding a non-numeric MIB

Bug in SQL used to fetch from Alert table
Hi, It seems that there's a bug in some SQL which relates to the Alerts table. If a single quote character (') appears in the ENTITY column (and perhaps also the MMESSAGE column), things go a bit funny when you try to ask for the list of alarms. Also, the "Recent Alarms" list doesn't appear on the dashboard page. I think that maybe a literal SQL statement is being built using a value fetched from the Alerts table - the presence of the single quote character messes with the SQL syntax, which causes

Event Log Monitor: Disabling Printer Notifiations
I need the ability to tell OpManager NOT to notifiy me of stuff like this: Severity: Critical ID=8 Source=Print Type=2 Message=Printer HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL 5e on pintlis-fs01 (from BUS-ENEAL) in session 0 was purged. That is NOT a critical message, but I don't see where i can control that. Is this possible?

OpManager Network Discovery limits
Hi! I was wondering if there was some way to limit the network discovery, in order to discover not th whole network but just a part. For example, something like: discover by an IP range, or maybe only some devices.. and so on. Sebastian.
Stop Specific Alert Indefinately
Good Day, Opmanager is working wonders for us except for one issue. We have several Event Log Alarms that Alarm to us, but mean nothing and are more informational, is it possible to disable it so these Alarms do not appear anymore? I have tried Acknowledge, Clear, or Delete, but they come back the next time that Alarm is in the event log. Thanks.
standalone client

Windows 2000 Server
My 2000 servers are constantly getting picked up by OpManager as desktops. I want to modify the opmanager_categoryinfo.xml file to pick up 2000 server as a server device type. Does any one know what the OID is for 2000 server, or if it is the same as 2000 profesional, how can I get OpManager to pick it up as a server.
Linking in Business Views
Regarding the "drawing of links" between devices, it seems a little tedious, plus I've found that it's only cosmetic (unless I am wrong). Would it benefit the users if a "Parent" could be defined from a list of existing hosts? This would not only satisfy the "alert only if Parent is active" condition but also automatically connecting devices in an dynamically generated map or maps. Thoughts? Ryan
IP Management
Love the IP Management module, however, does anyone know of any settings to ensure I cover the folks who aren't logged in but have a valid IP address if there's such a thing? Thanks, Jim
Service Desk + hangs on startup
Hello I am currently evaluating service desk and everything so far has been great! Love the product. The power was cycled on the SD server without properly closing down service desk. The service desk starts as normal until it gets to the application layer starting..... and from there the SD hangs. I am able to shut down the SD application. I do have a backup from a few days ago however I would like to get the system back to its original state. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

How does the Run command function work
I am trying to send an SMS when an alert occurs using a tool called SMSSend.exe. When I execute this tool from the command line it works fine but when OpManager starts it, it doens't work I can see that it is being started but the program doesn't work. Maybe it has something to do with the way OpManager starts that command??

Alarm Escalation Bug
Hello: I found one bug in Alarm Escalation Feature. We want to modify the send-to email address in all the rules of Alarm Escalation of OpManager but we are not able to. We find that eventhough it reports that new Send-to email address settings are saved in Alarm Escalation, when I check back that rule it agains shows old Send-To address. I have tried different rules, and also different Send-to email addresses, but no luck. Can you look into this? We are using latest build of OpManager on windows
Chart in iReports
I'm trying to create a custom iReport that includes an area chart (e.g. CPU Usage). My series query is as follows: "SELECT s.val as Value, FROM_UNIXTIME(s.ttime/1000) as Time FROM OpManagerDB.statsdata_hourly s join OpManagerDB.polleddata p ON p.id = s.pollid WHERE p.agent LIKE 'constellation%' AND s.instance LIKE 'CPU%' ORDER BY p.agent, p.name, s.instance, s.ttime". I have tried different ways to set my category and value expressions and resolved it down to $F{Time} and $F{Value} respectively.
Add Device annoyances
Hello. Kudos to this product, I like it. :) I find when I want to manually add a machine via Add Device, I think there should be a default option to select the community and netmask (ie; for a single host I have to manually force the netmask to 255.255.255.255, and also change the community string to my custom value which for say alot of machines it could be time consuming) Is there a work around so I can speed it up? I'm manually doing it this way because i have about 40 machines on a LAN that have
