Opmanager Switch Port Malfunctions
Attached is a Screenshot of a Switch I am managing. Note, all the interfaces show up in the main system view.. But they have no traffic data. The Configure Ports Pop-up lists no ports what-so-ever. I have tried to totally deleting this object and re-discover it and still comes back with the same port data. What is the cause and solution to this issue if any exist?

Implementation
Hello, the company where I work for is interesting in buying the product OPMANAGER, but first, we would like to make some proofs. My question is that we have more than 1.000 sytems equipment and I don�t know if we need to install the OPManager in one big server or the system requirements that you suggest in the home page is enough. I�ll be waiting for your answer Regards Alejandro

High CPU utilisation
Has anyone experienced high CPU utilization with Opsmanager 5.5 running as a service. I have installed the evaluation version on a Compaq DL380 G3 with Win2K SP4 1.4Gb memory and the process Javaservice.exe is consuming 60-80% of CPU when application is running. I thought it may have been the discovery process that was causing the issue but opsmanger has been up and running now for over a week and still high CPU utilization. :cry:

WMI Monnitor
I have a WMI script that runs and gets the status of a printer connected to a server. The status code is converted from a number to a string in the WMI script. For example, if the status code = 3, then the string output is Idle. Is there a way to create a monitor that displays this string value and can send an alert if the string value = offline? Thanks

No Eventlog Monitor Icon
Hi, I'm trying to get eventloggin going, but I can't find the eventlog monitor icon on the admin page. Do I need to activate this somewhere? Can someone help? Thanks in advance! Paul
Reactive skins
Hi, So far, I feel this product is excellent despite some of the hiccups I am encountering. It can only get better over time as your team works on enhancing the software. Kudos to your team. One enhancement I can think of, is to have reactive skins, which are green when everything is ok, but turns amber and red when things break or happens.. pretty much like Big Brother, so that even if you are 10 metres away from the monitor, you can still gauge that everything is ok by simply looking at the green
Minor tweak to Web interface.
Please make it so when you are on a device > Password Details so that when you enter data and click <OK> it acknowledges that the passwords are updated and auto-closes that popup window. currently you have to click <Cancel> or the <X> in the upper right corner to drop this pop-up which is a small annoyance.
WMI verses SNMP
Can anyone tell me if WMI or SNMP is more accurate when monitoring Windows servers for CPU utilization, memory utilization, disk utilization, etc.? Thanks

how to insert an external event into OpManger?
Hi, Can I insert text message directly into the db/event table and be displayed by OpManger? If not directly to db/event table, is OpManger has an API? An example will be great! Thanks, Min
Busy links shows devices down
We are monitoring a couple of servers on the other side of a WAN link. When these links get busy, OpManager often reports them down and then clears the alarm at the next check. Can you set the time to wait for a response on certain devices so that we can change the ones on the other side of a link to wait longer for the response before reporting the device down. A ping can take as long as 3000 ms when the line is at 100%.

Huawei Quidway R2630E CPU and Memory Utilisation
I have a number of routers including Cisco and Huawei. For the Cisco routers, the CPU and Memory gauges work fine but I am unable to get the same information from the Huawei routers. Does anyone know how to find these values in the MIB for the Huawei.
Reports and Web Interface
Hi, just about reaching the point where I decide whether to buy OpManager or not and would just like to know if a couple things I am missing are in the works or not :) 1) From the OpManager Client I can get a nice graph of each Service, ie IMAP, SMTP etc when I click on Graphs - Response times - I can then select say, FTP, IMAP, HTTP, SMTP etc etc I can then go into detailed view and get a separate graph for each service, perfect, just what I need for reports, trouble shooting etc showing response
Is this possible?
Is there a way to run OpManager on a 2003 server but have it log to a mysql server on another machine? I tried downing the server and editing the conf file including putting in a opmanager user and defining a password, copying the mysql/data/OpManagerDB directory to the Mysql Server and firing it up. I see OpManager connect to the database but it dies shortly afterwards. Before I slam my head into the desk too many times I figured I would ask. Thanks In Advance.
Lost!
Hello, I'm a bit lost here with opmanager I have used many monitoring software but this one has me beat. It looks like the only way I can add a server is using the discovery tool which will scan all 250 machines on my network and add them to the software when I just only want to add 2 servers. Is there a place where I can just go and manually add the server name, IP address and the services I wish to monitor without going and scanning, and removing all of the extra machines. Thanks, Willy
What is the meaning of "Memory Utilization" in Opm
How opmanager define "Memory Utilization"? It seems much difference between opmanager's "Memory Utilization" and that get from "Task Manager", is there any connection between them? and how opmanager get "Memory Utilization" value? Thanks
Bug? Alarm Escalation Rules
In the Alarm Escalation Rules editor, the category have server, printer, switch, router & any. Miss matching the category provided in "Infrastructure Views" ( Servers, Routers, Firewalls, Switches,Printers, Desktops, URL) which is the default container for admin to add devices. Thus it is a bug. In general/to be consistent, the category should contain items in every view provided by OpManger. That is, it should have items listed under Infrastructure Views, Business Views, and Network Views. Especially
Bulk Changes or Rule Implementation
We are running the eval currently and I have a couple of quick questions: 1. Under Quick Configuration Wizard, I would like to catagorize more than just Desktops and Servers from that screen. I have routers and switches being added as workstations and SNMP is enabled and working for those Routers and Switches. 2. Where can I find additional icons for brands? We have Asante switches and Apple & Novell Servers. If you add a Windows server you get a neat little icon. I want a neat little icon to differentiate
snmp traps to opmanager
hello, I have a netscreen security manager product running on the same box as opmanager. I have setup for events to send an snmp alert to the local box and alerts are supposedly sent from the nsm to snmp ip. Problem is that I don't see those snmp events within opmanager - what do I have to do to receive these alerts? do I need to start snmp on the local box as well as snmp trap daemon? Naynesh

Issues with Discovery of Routers.
When I tell Opmanager to Discover a Device. In this case a Cisco router. I tell it to discover the IP address that I am wanting to be the routers IP address that opmanager uses to manage it with and the SNMP string like always. However even though the web front end says that its discovered the fact is that it does not ever get into the database because part of the discovery process tells Opmanager to query the IP networks of all interfaces of Routers to help populate the world with those networks.
Using tunnels +Cisco/Netopias and openswan for remote admin
Hi All Just sorting out whether or not this tool is able to do what i need. I have several smallish lans behind nat/firewall routers. (cisco and netopia). i wish to create tunnels to my linux server (using openswan) and then manage the systems inside the nat/firewall with snmp and discovery etc via the tunnels. i do not want to open ports on the routers - as i want to manage them with snmp... and besides there are too many devices inside. is anyone doing this. so 192.168.25.0/24 <> internet IP <>
receving phantom downtime
Hi I am running opmanager in parallel with the old monitoring system. Over the past 3 days, we have had 2 bogus alerts generated for servers being down, for 3-7 minutes at a time. One was for server not responding (icmp) and the other for a port not being available. Investigation of the old monitoring system, which is icmp based, shows that teh server was available during the time were opmanager said the device was offline, and there was no user interruption to correspond with opmanagers reported
Applications with high Response Times - Last 24 hour(s)
Hi, It is still me! The new problem is: Before, my PC with Opmanager was on a hub with very bad time. I have it to connect to a switch. My PING on the servers is spent of 500ms in 5ms. The board always shows time of 400ms while in the page device it is OK in 5ms (for 24h). It has been 1 week since I changed. Regards. Olivier
Switch Rediscovery
Hi, In the Switch category. During the rediscovery, Device loses its name. Always in the same category, when we delete monitors (Traffic Monitors) they return with the rediscovery. Some we cannot delete of them (Memory Utilization). I thought that it was caused by my Cisco Catalyst 2970G-24 that I created in new type but it also makes it with my CoreBuilder which is already in the list of the types 3COM. Regards. Olivier

Display the "Dashboard" from the homepage on a big
Hi! I would like to display the dashboard with "infrastructure snapshot" and "Alarm Graph" from the homepage on a plasmascreen or projector. This would require an URL to a page that don't need a login, and that would display only the wanted content - no hyperlinks etc. Is there such a feature, or do you have any plans to program it? BTW: OpManager is a great progam - thanks a lot! Regards Andreas Lydersen, Norway

bulk removing monitors or notification profiles
Hi It is easy to bulk add monitors and notification profiles to devices through the quick config wizard. However, removing notification profiles and monitors from a bunch of devices does not seem to be so easy - is there a faster way to remove these from devices besides editing each device? Thanks Dave
request for new functionality
Enhancement request: What I always miss looking at network management systems is the ability to rate alarms by there impact to business functionality and affected users. Let me give an Example. I receive an alarm that the server �xwz� is down, this is nice, but only a small number of people from the IT department know that this server is the print server for the warehouse and no delivery notes can be printed, witch has a large impact to the business. Or: An alarm is saying that the port 25 of one
Power Supply
Hi, We can imagine, for network materials or servers, I think of my cisco 7200 or my corebuilber, to have information about the state of the power supply (redundant). I think that it's possible with trap but i don't work it. Regards. Olivier
