Widget for a network video stream?
Does anyone know how I can add an MPEG4 video stream into a widget so it can be displayed on one of our CCTV views? We have a couple of cameras at our colocation facility that would be cool to have on out screens within OpManager at the NOC. I assume the custom HTML widget is the way to go, but I have no idea what commands to use to capture the stream.
Opmanager Maps Disappeared
I am running the latest version of Opmanager on ESXi and have been for a couple weeks and this morning I came in and nothing shows up in my maps. For instance, on the dashboard I see 0/10 devices in alarms but if I actually click on that category to see the list of individual servers it's empty. All of the categories under maps are empty along with my business view maps. If I click on an individual item from the dash board, say an item off the top memory devices, the device shows up correctly
Using the most memory for OpManager as optimal
We are moving our OpManager install to dedicated hardware from a VM environment and will have 16GB of RAM to work with. Currently, we are only using under 3GB of the 6GB allocated to the VM. When we move we'd like to be able to use as much memory in that system as is optimal for it. I know there are the settings in the wrapper.conf for the min and max heap sizes but without playing around with them I wouldn't really know what to set them to to be optimal. Could someone suggest the best way to utilize

Run Program Notification Not Working
Howdy, We have setup a Run Program alert to remotely run a sound file on a computer when a number of devices experience some kind of fault. The problem is i can't get it to work.

How to update Asset Details without "rediscovering"
Hi, Is there a way (using script) to update the asset details in all server? Using the "rediscover the device" is not the right choice as it will remove whatever manual changes that was done before. -- Regards, Anandharaj System Engineer (Unix / Linux)
Disk / Partition related CLI Monitors
Hi, If we look at the HostResource.xml file, the disk / partition related monitors (used space, free space, partition details) are displaying the "virtual filesystem / disk" (eg: tempfs). Therefore, every time we add/modify the monitor (eg: partition details), we need to remove the those "virtual filesystem / disk" In order to avoid this, i have added the "grep command" into the HostResource.xml file so that it will only display the actual devices only (start with /dev) Hope OpManager can include

errors for Interface 'Serial0/0/0:0-Bearer Channel - Se0/0/0:0' is down. Interface description is 'Serial0/0/0:0-Bearer Channel' and index is 35. Circuit ID not configured.
I am getting this error on a Cisco 2921 that is just being used for Call Manager Express and CME. Se0/0/0:23 is configured, but the rest are not. Any ideas on why I am getting this error? Would a phone call going outbound use this interface and then close it when done with the call?

Disk utilization is reporting 100% incorrectly
I am setting up OpManager and have been getting disk utilization alarms that servers are at 100% utilization. When I log onto the servers (both linux and windows) the utilization is no where near 100%. What would cause this and should there be another monitor to use instead of disk utilization?
OpManager dashboard "Last N hours Traffic" widget enhancement ??
Is there a way to aggregate or combine the output provided by the dashboard "Last N hours Traffic" widget for multiple interfaces on different devices on one graphic? Preferably the output would use line graph (versus area graph) and would provide a legend of which color line goes with each interface. Thanks!
Opmanger Wishlist
Hello, i've played with Opmanger recently and i've found that all around it as a good NMS with a rapid adoption curve due to good built-in vendor/device templates. Business/Network maps with weathermap support it's also a good addition especially when you use xFlow plugin to drill down network congestions. I like ESX support too..simple but effective (if you need deeper/trend/capacity analisys you could use xangati,ecc..) but from infrastructure perspective it's more than enough. Ok now what mostly
OpManager doesn't show all received traps
Hi, I have been using OpManager to receive traps from Cisco Systems ASR5000 Intelligent Mobile Gateway (Starent GGSN). The traps have been configured by loading a MIB. The problem is that some traps exists in SNMP trap parser file but somehow are not recognized and displayed in any of alarm lists. I have checked "All alarms" and " Unsolicited traps" but couldn't find them. To prove this I have started Wireshark trace on OpManager server. From trace you can see followong two traps: 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.2.76

How to monitor a process that resets itself every night.
I want to monitor the w3wp.exe process which is the appool process for IIS (Microsofts web server). I have one of these per web site (multiple sites & processes) on a web server. At midnight IIS resets the process automatically which cuases the process ID to change which OpsManager cannot deal with. Is there a way to account for this? I want to monitor the memory these processes are consuming.

VMWare esxi 4.1 - monitoring & dealing with vCenter's "remote tech support" warning
I really am happy with the virtual device monitoring in opmanager, and am using it for my 4.1 esx servers. I have 4 more esxi 4.1 servers, but unfortunately if I enable SSH (remote tech support).. a warning is permanently displayed in vCenter for those clusters. How can I make use of the SSH monitoring in opmanager and avoid living with the permanent warning message in vCenter? Anyone resolve this?

The best high availabilty solution for OpManager & AppManager without MSSQL
Hi guys. Before this post, i was looking for the best high availability solution for OpManager & AppManager with MS SQL. Then Dilip told me that they don't support it. So now i'm going to use MySQL instead of MSSQL because they support it. Now i want to know that can i have two mirrored MySQL servers for "core monitoring database servers" and have for example 3*2=6 Opmanagers (each two servers for one primary and one standby) working with the core databases?

Personalize Apply suggestion
Just a suggestion for when you try and personalize the color or refresh info in OpManager. When you click on Personalize and just try to change your skin or refresh time and leave the password tab alone it still assumes you want to change your password. you have to delete your current password out of the field before it will apply your changes. maybe change it so it doesn't pre populate that field or change that it doesn't force you to enter the replacement password. just a thought.

Running OpManager without Flash
I am running into problems getting Flash approved to be installed on the systems that OpManager will be deployed on/with. After playing around with OpManager on a computer without Flash, it seems like the only thing that does not work is the Business View editor. The configuration once deployed will be locked down so this is not a problem. However, I am seeing if this is the only area that requires flash to run or if there is something else that I have missed?
Process Monitors - not working after a restart
Hello, I have just setup a few process monitors on one of our WebServers to monitor the various processes for w3wp.exe which we have a number of instances of. So I have added the processes and ticked both path and arguments so that I can monitor each individual one, however it would appear as though when the process is restarted Opmanager doesn't pickup the new instance of the process. I have readded the process again and then compared the "arguments" from each and it would appear as though

Change the default VM Performance Monitors
Is there a way to change the default VM Performance Monitors? By default when a VM is added it sets CPU, memory, and network with canned thresholds, and the evenst are always "critical". How can we change this in bulk (we have over 500 VMs), and how can we tune what severity these thresholds are set at?
