Negative Threshold values
I am monitoring RSSI values on wireless radios. I would like to set a threshold value of -80 and a rearm value of -75 but it will not take negative values. Is there a way or is there a way around this? Or will this be covered in the future update? Thanks, Jeff
Enhancement Request - Downtime Scheduler
What we are doing is daily jobs that are running over the night that take down our SQL and Oracle servers. Cause of monitoring these Ports and/or Windows Services we get each night alerts for that. We found Downtime Scheduler in this case not very usefull because we will not be alerted in case of other errors (lets say for example Event Log errors in this time). So a nice feature for us in this case would be to define the downtime scheduler to certain monitors only, in our case downtime scheduler
Can't add a DC machine into server category?
Hi, I accidentally rediscovered a domain controller machine that I had moved into the Server category (we don't have the AD add-on, and the trial has expired). The server was re-discovered as a DC, so I tried to change the category back to server but it won't work. What happens is that (eventually) the category changes, and you can see it in the list of servers for a few seconds only. If you keep refreshing the Servers view, it will eventually disappear all by itself and go back to the DC category.

Extreme Networks
Hello, I am trying to add my mibs for extreme networks. I have a 8810 Black Diamond and some Summit 400 and Summit 200. They gave me 1 file for the 8810 and 1 for the Summit 400 and 200.

IF_Index are being removed?
I'm adding in a Cisco 2600xm frame relay router, when I first add it, it shows up with all 51 Indexes, then I rename its display name and set it to be a router (Instead of a switch) and after a few pulls indexes 17, and 19-35 (18 still shows oddly) go missing. 17-35 are my PVC's (Serial0/0.DLCI) all are UP and active and I can browse to them and monitor them with other SNMP tools. I have a standby 2600(not xm) at the same site with a simular config that I can pull and all Indexes are shown and are

I placed OpManager behind a PIX firewall. I opened the 161 UDP port on the PIX but still cannot monitor the devices unless i allow all IP communications between the DMZs. Any idea on which ports needed to be opened?
Remote Backup - SignUp For Free Trial
We are planning to do a pilot testing on remote backup for OpManager. If you are interested please reply to this post or send an email to dev at adventnet.com. Performing remote, automated, daily backups of your OpManager configuration files and MySQL data comes in handy incase of a server crash. All you need to do is restore the conf and mysql data folders and copy them into a FRESH installation of OpManager. This process takes less than 10 minutes and you get the very same setup that you had prior
Alarm notification vie email
Hello all, I have set OpManager to monitor printers in our company and send an email to the appropriate folks when an error condition occurs. When a device misses a poll a "device not responding" email message is generated as expected, but other alarms (low toner, low paper, paper jam) do not generate emails, although they do show up in the OpManage interface. In the related Notification Profile, I have the poll, interface, trap, and cleared alarm boxes checked. I am certain that I am missing something,

declaring a device 'down'
how long does opmanager wait before declairing a device down-aka if it doesnt respond to ping in ___ amt of time? what is that amt of time? Admin > SNMP Parameters has settings for SNMP retry & timeout seconds but that only applies to newly discovered devices? i have somedevices that i know it's going to take x amt of time to get a reply from-any way to change the amount of time (like you can do for URL's) before it's declared 'down' heck-even if it has to change the properties for all devices...but

redundancy
Hello, Is there a way to install opmanager with redundancy. It's nice to have a monitoring program that monitors if your servers are alive, but what if the monitoring program itselfs fails or the monitorserver? Is there a possibility if the master fails that the slave takes the monitoring over? or just install it as two stand alone's? and that they monitor eachother? thx in advance

Port Down Alarm - Will not clear
I removed a device from the network and I keep getting an alarm that the port (10006) on the switch (Cisco Catalyst 3560) is down. It's OK for it to be down, because nothing is attached to it. How can I tell OpManager to let it be down and not generate an alarm for that. (But I still want to be alerted for problems with ports on the switch.) Maybe I just need to turn off notification for a while so it resets it threshold?

Monitoring Infortrend A24F
Hi, we are currently evaluating opManager. I'm very satisfied so far. Great product! I'm wondering if I can monitor a Infortrend A24F as well (I know there is a separate storage manager, but I would prefer to have it all in one program)? Thanks in advance, Gunnar

How to monitor Windows events through OpManager?
Hi, I was wondering how to set up rules to monitor Windows events such as keyword search or by Event ID. For example, I have some applications that I'd like to examine the event logs and look for keywords such as "failed", "stopped", and it will fire an alert if it finds such events. Appreciate your help, Simon

Hi, I've added a HP9315 switch to OpManager. I get all the port stats, but I don't get any CPU/Memory info from the 9315. Do I need to get a new MIB for this?
Monitor Service State via SNMP
Because most of the servers we monitor is on the other side of a firewall and we don't want to open RPC and CIFS (which I think are rather critical ports) we are trying to set up service monitoring via SNMP instead. I have come as far as if I add a custom monitor with OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.3.1.3 (which is svcServiceOperatingState) I get graphs for all services available on the server wich i add the Monitor to, but they are all represented in one page. But what I would like to do is add one custom
Laptops
I have laptops in the office that people take home. What is the best practice for handling these devices with OpManager? What I'm trying to avoid are alerts in the "desktops" area. If it is the laptops, I'm not so concerned.
Switch port mapper
Does the switch port mapper tool part of the professional version of OpUtils have an alerting capability if a port assignment changes, whether it is a system being unplugged or a new one being installed. We are having problems tracking down rogue systems plugging into our switches. If this tool can alert sys admins we will look to purchase the tool so we can monitor our port activity more efficiently. Thank you

Enhancement Request - User Management
Just an idea, it would be great to be able to promote a user account in OpManager to administrative priviledges without having to recreate the account all over. It seems a fairly simple feature to implement, is this on the roadmap? Cheers, Bob.
Different stats between Windows and Linux?
Hello, I use OpManager to keep track of the network traffic on an HP ProCurve 2650. I both use the Windows and the Linux version (free). The strange thing is, that the Windows traffic monitors seem to be corrupt: e.g. switchport 36 gives on the Windows machine: average 121.62 kbps up and 17.63 kbps down, on the Linux machine: average 81.07 kbps up and 10.48 kbps down. Time frame is exactly the same. And it is almost always the Windows that gives the higher numbers. Also, I compared the counters to
