NetFlow Plug-in 8500 Issue
I have installed a demo of the NetFlow plugin for Opmanager. I recieved the following error after starting the OpManager service after install.

Duplicate information in email
If I edit an Email Profile and add a $ variable to the message, the variable also shows up in the Alarm Details of the email. When I remove the variable, it is automatically removed from the Alarm Details. The result is that every email has a Message and Alarm Details section both of which contain the exact same data. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?
Can't individually identify physical/logical disks inside VMs
Hello, I am running a bunch of Windows Server 2003 machines as virtuals in a VMWare ESX environment.... C, D, E drives etc are mounted using a fibre array within which there are predefined datastores....I'm able to see the % utilization based on the cumulative total of all hard disks on each server. This however doesn’t help me identify individual drives which may be close to full. I’m running the Premium version of OpManager Build 8721. Any help would be greatly appreciated…. Thank you!
More flexibility when creating a Business View
When creating a business view, it would be nice if you could do the following: 1. Choose where the arrow heads sit on a link 2. Group select objects and set icons 3. Group select objects to move them around 4. Align objects on the grid 5. Choose where the text field would be displayed, 6. Have greater control over the link line thickness (even the thinest option clutters up the view) 7. Link an object to more than one port on a device ( for example: a loadbalancer with 4 ports may have
OpManager 8721
I'm a little disappointed in not only this version of OpManager, but what appears to be the lack of support from your staff in getting all my issues addressed. Here is a list of items I'd like addressed: 8721 has a bug that shows multiple hosts that are not virtualized because they have multiple cores in their processors. This is a known bug, but I was given a "hotfix" that was supposed to have corrected this problem and it doesn't work. When virtual machines on my ESX servers are rebooted,

License Question
Hi, We have a question about license pricing. For example, we have ten routers which have ten interfaces. Should we buy a license that includes 10 devices support, no matter how many interfaces we have right ? Regards. Akın Arcak
AIX CLI partition monitoring
I discovered that the AIX CLI partitioning monitoring is reading the wrong field; it's looking at the %Iused field rather than the %Used field, see below. We had a disk fill up, but the %Iused field was still well below 80%, so we didn't catch it and the system crashed. Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on /dev/hd4 262144 85664 68% 5515 22% / /dev/hd2 4194304 856772 80% 63978 25% /usr I read in another post that you could

OpManager Disk Utilization Bug - No graph shown
This bug may be specific to CentOS/RHEL but never the less, there is no documentation I have found about it. Issue OpManager (8721 - or less) does not display the disk utilisation for CentOS/RHEL servers. CentOS/RHEL responds correctly as advised in http://support.opmanager.com/sd/AddSolution.sd?solID=35701 OpManager appears to make queries (in addition to the KB article) to the OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.6.1.4 and attempt to obtain the disk capacity. This OID does not appear to be implemented in RHEL/CentOS
Provide functionality for dynamic device collections
Hi all, I have idea that I am sure many would find useful. How about providing the ability to create dynamic collections of devices based on some simple rules using boolean logic. E.g. I would find it useful to create a collection of devices that is of type Windows 2003 AND has "PRD" in its name AND is in the IP range 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.10.100 OR 10.10.11.1 - 10.10.11.100. The membership of this collection would be dynamic and devices would be automatically added and remove as they fell inside

Business Maps customizable Icons
Hello, we try to build Business Views where we can drill down from WORLD --> EUROPE --> GERMANY --> LOCATION --> SERVERROOM --> RACK --> DEVICE So far we had no real problems with that, but at the RACK-View we tried to visualise the Rack and the Devices in the Rack as a background image and then to add the devices to the view for showing the status of devices in the Rack. The Icons that we can place on the view for each device is to large and the Device-Name is always displayed underneeth the status-Symbol.
Active Directory
Hi, We are a licensed user of OpManager 8, and have a license for adding an additional user. How do we add a user account from our Active Directory domain? I do NOT mean: create an account within OpManager using the same credentials as AD, but rather pull the actual domain credentials from the DC's. Can you help with this? Thanks.
Upgrading from free version to licenced version
Hello, Currently I am doing a proof of concept for OpManager using the free version (I chose to use the free version as I didn't know if I would be able to complete the proof of concept within the 30 day trial period for the other version). All is looking pretty good actually; which got me wondering whether there is any issue with migrating from the free version to a licenced copy? Is it something as simple as adding in a registration key, or will I need to go through and reconfigure everything

Bulk updates
Is there a way in Opmanager, say on a Switch to update all of the Interfaces at once, say all the monitors? For example, i want to increase all of my utilization limits on all my cisco 48 port switches to 75% from 30%. i have about 5, 48 port switches. I shouldn't have to go in to every port, and set this there should be a bulk process. How do i accomplish this? Also same thing on notifications, Is there a way to bulk add notifiers? if i have them defined why do i have to add only one at a

Monitor Active Session Count in Cisco 881W
We would like to setup a monitor for a Cisco 881W device which is an all-in-one router-firewall-WAP. Ours currently has a license count of 10 and we had a situation the other day where about 15 users were trying to gain access and some could not gain access because of the license issues. We would like to monitor it so when we get calls that we already had an alert via email, so we can tell our customer they are hitting the license issue or to get more licenses. Has anyone ever setup the configuration

Opmanager Monitoring issues
We are having troubles with monitoring Interface details on Windows Server 2008 systems that run on a XEN host. We have them set up with the Citrix PV driver for their network, and can view live data, but all of the Win 2K8 servers lack any data in the "Traffic - Today", "Errors and Discards - Today" et al graphs from the Interface details. We have Win 2K3 servers running on the same XEN hosts with the Citrix PV driver for 2K3, and get graphed data for them. Thanks Jason Meyers
Graduated Information; Trouble -> Warning -> Critical
Hello, Is it at all possible to have a graduated system where it is possible to define a server to go through a number of steps progressivly changing it's status/colour until it hits the notification. For example: CPU threshold 0-55% = Normal (green) >55-70% = Trouble (yellow) >70%-80% = Warning (orange) >80% = Critical (red); send notification Rather than just having one threshold where the server is fine and then all of a sudden out of no where it is critical as it reaches the threshold

Hi A couple of observations from our recent installation of Opmanager. Would it be possible to add the following options to the installation process: 1.

Ability to decide\select\create an account that will be used to access the Database. 3. The ability to change the Root password to comply with security requirements of an establishment.

Opmanager - Folder Monitor, check for Modified time
As the subject line states, am looking for a folder monitor that just checks the modified time. My threshold would be set for older or equal to 2 hours. If items changes within the folder have not taken place within that 2 hour time frame I would configure an alert be sent to application support team. By the way, it was at our application maintenace team's request, that this type of monitoring be used. Currently with opmanager I just can't think of a way to do it. Thank you
