Hi I am not able to get OpManger to intergrate with ServiceDesk Plus. I am getting the Unable to fetch values from ServiceDesk Plus, The server might not be running or the network traffic may be too high error. I have been through all the groups etc and removed any special characters. I have tried local admin user and domain user but still no joy. Is there anything else that I need to check?

Hello, I have to monitor several ESX with new VM created each days. My problem is I don't want to monitor those VM but only a few of them.

SNMP Trap-based workflow issue
I’m trying to create workflows based on SNMP traps and cannot figure out how to reference the trap that triggered the workflow. The example I’m working with now is - I want an email sent every time a user account is locked in AD. -I created an event-log monitoring trap on the DC that sends a trap to OpManager whenever an account is locked - this works -I created a trap processor in OpManager for this trap - this works -I created a workflow triggered by this trap processor to send an email - this

Embed-ed dashboard for large screen
Currently, I'm using the large screen monitor as the dashboard to monitor the devices. Those screens are really handy to see what is going on the network devices and servers. I'm using the 2 screens. One for the Server and VM OpManager business view dashboard & Applications Manager business view on dashboard with embed-ed iframe. Others are network map. These screens are refreshed by JavaScript and show 30 seconds each. Also, since it is large screen, I enlarged the screen by 130% on web browser.

When we want use wmi to add counters not default in OpManager, we do not get the option to use WMI when on the Central node. On the probes on the other hand, this is an option.

Hi there, got a few QNAP devices (www.QNAP.com) to monitor and though the test service monitor gives a response and a value, the CPU and Memory graphs do not show up: I have added a custom template, added the QNAP MIB (Please see attached file), no joy.

Updating Clients IP Addresses
Hi everyone, We are running Opmanager build no 8812. I noticed the Desktops clients that are being monitored do not get their IP Address updated when that changes. We have a DHCP running in our network( other than the server running OpManager) Server running OpManager solves corectlly the names and nslookup looks correct and accurate, but OpManager does not get updated. Any idea what to do to troubleshoot this? Thanks, Nick.

Issue Using Perl for Windows and Custom Script Templates
I have an issue where I have OpManager installed on a Windows 2003 server and am trying to use Perl to write a custom script template. The issue I have is that whenever I try to use a "foreach" loop, the script just hangs and eventually times out. The script runs fine when ran manually. It only fails when ran through OpManager. Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, did you get it resolved? Thanks!

Custom Perl script to monitor multiple server's CPU's in a single graph
Hi all. Attached is a simple Perl script I put together to track total CPU usage across multiple different servers and show these values in a single graph. The servers in question are added in the array "@servers", and each of these values is then passed to the function "getSnmpValues", which returns the average total CPU usage across all server cores. I've attached a jpg of the final result in my environment. To get this working, you must set the path to the Perl binary (In my case, "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe"),

How can you monitor a process for just instances and not instances AND up/down?
Hello, Using build 8812 of OPman - how can I monitor if multiple instances of a process occur, such as iexplorer.exe - without OPman warning me everytime the 'service is down' becuase the process isn't running? I want to know if certain processes are running multiple times, but I do not need to know if the process is not running as that is not a problem for certain processes. Make sense? Iexplorer is a good example, obviously there it's 'service down' when it's not open/running - but that is
Count Exchange 2010 POPs mail queue and alert
Hi, I wish to use our Opmanager system to monitor the number of emails pending in the Exchange 2010 POPs mail queue used for your Servicedesk application, thereby adding another level of integration. Primarily I want to alert if the Queue exceeds 'x' uncollected mails or if the oldest message is over 'x' minutes old. We occasionally have issues where SD mail fetching fails, and we do not know until someone tells us no tickets have logged for 1 hour for example. While I appreciate that it would be
