Getting OPManager to accept new MIB's
Hello, We are in the final stages of evaluation of the OpManger5 Professional version. Before we purchase I would like to get assistance with one last item that to date we have NOT been successful with and that is loading a MIB that was NOT distributed with the OPManager application.. I have obtained three, VALID, MIB's directly from the manufactures, Cisco, Nortel and APC for thier switched PowerDistrubitionUnits.. I can Not get Opmanager to load them. Nor can we get the MIBBrowser 3.3.1 to load
Some questiones about OpManager5
I just installed OpManager5 for evaluation. I have some questiones about it: 1. Can I add other stuff like UPS into "infrasturatural views' currently containing servers, routers, switches..? 2. Can I add nodes one by one instead of auto discovery from network? 3. If yes, I am assuming they can be done from 'Admin' TAB. But I can not find any 'Admin' tab after starting "StartOpManagerClient.sh" Thanks. Shouwen
SMTP problem
OpManager is showing SMTP service on some servers is down, but I can telnet their port 25 from the host in which OpManager is running. Why? -- Shouwen
Switch Port Mapper
I just downloaded and installed with all service packs OpManager! It's a great piece of software!! I do have a problem however. I can't seem to find the Switch Port Mapper on any of my HP ProCurve switches. All I have is the STP Port Details under Switch Info. Did it not get installed? Or am I over looking something here?? Any help would be appreciated greatly!!! Thanks, James R. Kinateder
Servers with multiple IP addresses
Hi, is there a way you can setup servers or routers as having multiple IP addresses ? Currently, servers with 20 IPs show up as 20 separate, though similar servers. John
Crash Recovery
The system we're evaluating OpManager on crashed (Hardware failure) after restoring the system (replaced MB) Op Manager initially wasn't polling the services. Stopping and starting the OpManager server fixed that up but DownTime seems permanently locked at Unavailable since midnight today. Any suggestions?
OpManager hangs when executing StartOpManagerServer.sh
Hello everyone. Just started playing with the Free version of Opmanager this morning. I am running this on a Fedora Core 2 box. I downloaded the .bin file and proceeded to run through the install. Everything went fine (used the -console flag, as I am ssh'd into the box). Anyway, after the install finished, I then tried executing the StartOpManagerServer.sh file to start it up. However, after I did that, it started up a few things (saw a lot of Created table output) then it just hangs right here:
Layer 3 switches
Is there anyway to monitor Layer 3 switches? in other words switches that also act as routers. It seems I can set it up as either a switch or router but not both. This would be great if it were possible. Phil
Individual Partition / Drive Usage
Is it possible to graph / report the usage of individual partitions or drive letters instead of an aggregate of all partitions. If I have a system partition that is almost full and a data partition that is only 30% full it looks like I have a lot of drive space available. If this is the case a threshold will not be met though my server stops responding due to lack of system partition space being available. Thanks, Jamie Jensen

Cisco Switch gives trouble error -> Ports 5, 10, 11, 12, 17 are down. Why is this? When a user turn off his computer....i don't wanna see this as an error. Wouter
Memory utilization numbers off by about 30% sometimes
I have a couple of servers where the difference between the amount of physical ram in use on the box and the amount opmanager shows are different. I have a server right now that has been running at 100% ram utilization, yet opmanager shows it as only 70%? The odd thing is that task manager will show 100% ram usage, but the process tab does not add up, i.e. all the ram tracked to a process shown in task manager does not add up to 100%. There is a discrepancy roughly equal to the same amount that opmanager
Quick question abt monitoring a Cobalt Server
Hi, I just started looking at OpManager and really like what I see. I have one question and I see some threads that are similar, but don't directly answer what I am seeing. I have a Cobalt RAQ4 which is not really doing much of anything yet on my network. Therefore, memory utilization on this box is always around 6-7%. On my OpManager console, it shows up at 93-94%. So it looks like to me like the OpManager is interpreting the SNMP Mib wrong (inversely) or the mib on Cobalt needs to be adjusted.
Device Not Showing Up in Map after Discovery
In both the console client and Web client, when I add a device it says it successfully discovered the device, but it never shows up in any of the maps. I retried adding the same device and it says it successfully discovered the device, but again the device does not show up in any of the maps. Any idea what is wrong? I am using OpManager 5 with SP2 (build 5006). The device is successfully responding to SNMP queries. Thanks
Cannot detect Cisco 4050 switch & PIX Firewall
Sir, When I add the IP address for the Cisco 4050 switch & PIX Firewall. OpManager cannot detect the correct model. Also cannot view the CPU & Memory usage graph. How can I fix it? Samuel.
possible additions or changes
I've just got a couple of things that I'd like to see added to future releases if possible - or if you can let me know if they are possible now. * Option to sort the icons or details views by IP or Name * Ability to move devices to any map (eg. move to printers) * option for generic email for all alarms rather than just device specific * ability to filter devices by ip's eg. in all find lists, reduce the availbe devices by excluding non-matches to find string, not just go the the first match * Ability
Can you globably set the response time threshold?
I see that a threshold can be set on response time, but I can only set it on each individual device, and only via the client, not the web interface. Is there any way to set a global threshold for response time? If not, this might be a good feature for future versions. (And also have the ability to do this through the web interface.) Thanks

SNMP Monitoring on Linux
Running the free 10-device version is there any limit on the network interfaces monitored on an SNMP capable server? OpManager sees the interfaces but can not determine anything about them. SNMP ver 5.1 on Fedora Core 1. OpManager running on the same box. snmpwalk shows the interfaces and details. Thanks.
ipForwDatagrams graph seems high
I have created a graph to monitor the MIB2 ipForwDatagrams (.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.6) value, but the readings I am getting seem high. It there any additional expressions I need to add to see how many IP packets per second my routers are routing?
New Feature?
A new feature I'd like to see implemented in to oputils is maybe in the "Address Monitoring" section, is that we could possibly give it 1 - 3 urls for it to monitor every 5 secs. And if it goes down it could send us a page or something. I run a site that is load balanced, and I still haven't found a good solution (besides a service like alertra) that can page me when one of the servers goes down or IIS starts flagging off weird errors.
No Move to Printer option anymore
All of a sudden I don't have a "Move to printers" option for a printer. It ended up in the server view and I can move it to the printers. Any ideas ?

Can OpUtils run as a service in Windows 2000? I rather not leave a user logged in on the server where OpUtils is running. Thanks
how to setup opmanager to check a server ?
Hi, I've been trying to use the OpManager to monitor my server network but I am not sure how to set it up. Should I install OpManager on the same server? Thanks~
bandwidth metric
The reports show bandwidth utilization in Kbps. Is this correct? I think it may actually be bytes per second, not bits? Bits seems awfully low for the servers I am monitoring. If I map the usage with another tool, Cybergauge, the min and max numbers are no where close to what OpManger shows. Could this be an error in OpManager? Anyway to make this show Mbps by default? KBps or Kbps on a switched LAN is really not the best metric to use.
network events
just a few questions... 1. how do i clear/delete the items on the Alarms -> Network Events ? 2. i was testing out the notification function and set the system to notify me when the server cpu utilization reached a certain level ('threshold rule is violated'). it worked the first time, but have been unsuccessful the next time i tested it out. i have already cleared/deleted the items on All Alarms and Active Alarms but it still doesn't work. it seems that the notification function works only one time...
no memory and disk utilization graphs
I set up opManager 5 into windows XP box and net-smnp into my linux box. I can see only CPU Utilization graphs. Screenshot can be found here and snmpd.conf is here. Whats wrong in my conf?
password settings
When I enter account information using the format domain\\username, then I go back to that panel in the device properties, it always either drops one slash, or both. Is this just a display glitch, or does it actually mess up the setting? Also, got a server that I cant seem to add a disk graph for. I click on add, then go to the counter, then nothing ever, ever happens. Every other 25 times I did this, I would get a popup with a list of volumes to choose from. Not this time, it just sits there doing
business view in browser not populated
Is this normal behaviour? I just started an evaluation yesterda, so am new to the product. I can create a business view with the client, but when I click it in a browser, it just loads a pop box with the number of servers listed, but nothing in the box or anything. Do business views not load when using a browser? Thanks
Monitoring a firewalled server (which ports to open)
We'd like to monitor a Linux server that is running a basic software firewall (apf). As soon as we turn the firewall on OpManager is no longer able to capture CPU and Memory usage stats for that server. We have port 161 TCP/UDP open for both incoming and outgoing traffic on the firewalled server. Are there any other ports we need to open so OpManager can collect CPU and Memory utilization stats?
Removal Of Items On Logon Page
I would like to know how to remove the admin / admin data from the USER / Password fields on the login page. I would also like to konw how you turn off the hint line that you get at the bottom of the page saying the following: First time users : Use "admin" as User Name and "admin" as Password to login. Any advice that can be give on where to edit would be great. I have tried emptying the fields in the login.jsp in the common directory on the web client but it still post all the data. Thanks In Advance
Set "details" as default map view
Is there any way to set the default map view to "details" instead of "large icons"? We couldn't find any toggles for this in the web or java clients. What about directly chaning a DB value? Is this possible?
Discovery
Hi, Is there any way to initiate a discovery manually? I've currently changed the discovery setting to every 1 day, but I'd like to be able to (even via a script) manually kick off a discovery (perhaps just for a particular network) to see if OpManger discovers a device correctly. I know I can manually add a device, which may be the only way to do it.
Graph two mibs of the same interface
Hello, newbie question. Is it possible to graph two mibs parameters (i.e. Tx traffic and Rx traffic) of the same interface of the same device at the same time? I mean, when you select an interface and the select to graph a value like Tx traffic then you can select another device to compare but not the same interface with other mib value like Rx traffic. Thank you.
Additional Users
After trying another solution and not beeing please, i am back to test OPmanager again On Users Does the commercial license allows you to have unlimited users ? or must you buy per user licenses ? (if so, how much) if I have multiple users, can Admin setup servers so certain users can see and get notices on problems ? Null
Administrative Client problem
I applied the 5006 patch this morning, and since then I am unable to start the administrative client on the server. When I click on the shortcut, it simply does nothing. The shortcut is as follows: "E:\Program Files\AdventNet\ME\OpManager\jre1.4.1\bin\javaw.exe" -cp .\classes\OpManagerStartupClasses.jar com.adventnet.me.opmanager.start.OpManagerStarter StartOpManagerClient Where E: is the location of the OpManager install. Any suggestions? Thanks Andrew
Disk Usage reports

Class B and Subneting
Good morning, We use a 172.24 range which has been subneted in "class C" subnets for each office. Even if I want to use a 172.24.100.0 255.255.255.0 test (ie. IP address manager...) it is refused and it ask me "" Please enter a class C only". All my subnets have a /24 bit mask, but I can't test anyone because it's part of a 172.24.x.x network.... Is this normal ? Is there a workaround ?
