Seeking clarification for something:
Can you not have snmp and wmi based resource monitors for the same server? For example, I prefer to use wmi for memory and cpu usage since the cpu monitor is better for multiprocessors and the wmi memory usage monitor reflects more accurate memory usage than does snmp. But I like to use snmp for custome graphs such as mbps or some such. But it seems if I configure a box this way, one will work while the other doesnt. One server I had monitored for some time and the snmp graphs were working fine.

Howto discover network devices
Hi all, i would like to auto-discover our network. We have an IP-Adressrange starting with 148.192.xxx.xxx, but the unusual Subnet of 255.255.255.0. How must I configure the discovery range ? I've tried 148.192.0.0 with subnet 255.255.0.0, also 148.192.xxx.0 with subnet 255.255.255.0, but OpManager isn't discovering all of our devices. Any ideas ? thanks in advance.

How to install 5.5 over an existing installation?
Is this possible without losing existing historical data or custome graphs? Cheers
disk storage via snmp
Hi, Two questions, 1) I use net-snmp via freebsd (5.2 version (recent)) I receive cpu/memory but no disk storage (four partitions) is it possible something breaks with multiple partitions via net-snmp (It thinks it is a Linux Host) 2) Is it possible to get graphs via each individual partition? I saw the previous thread but it did not mention how to say "/var" or "/" Awesome product - I've used many others for Windows and currently use Nagios but this is quite a setup - 10 devices for free is also
Opmanager 5.5 - not naming routers corectly + Bandwidth iss
Testing 5.5 before I upgrade our licensed 5 version of Opmanager. Have run a discovery and it has found my Cisco routers, however, the name of the routers tends to be the broadcast address of one of the links and the links are not reporting the correct bandwidth even though I have bandwidth settings on the routers. 5.0 discovered them ok! Doesn't Opmanager get the hostname from SNMP and use this? Some of the routers come up as unknown too (all cisco 2600 series) whereas some are correctly marked

Service Pack 5010 available for downloading.. problems
I just downloaded the service pack 5010 from your website, but I'm finding some problems so far. I've installed and uninstalled a couple times. The first install, the cmd window seemed to be stuck at refreshing a full screen of OKOKOKOK. Uninstalling - Reinstalling Service Pack: I uninstalled OpManager and ran a new install of just OpManager5. Then I went to install the service pack, but the installation informed me that the service pack was already installed. I deleted the folder inside the bin\backup

High CPU-load all the time
Hi all, after the sucessfull installation of OPManager on a Windows XP-Host (768 MB RAM, 1,8 GHz) i've recognized that the CPU-load is permanently above 80 percent. I'm monitoring about 150 servers (Windows 2000, Solaris, HP-UX), 200 Switches/Routers and a few printers. I've reduced the monitoring interval to 10 Minutes for each item (except printers, set to 60 Minutes.) The javaw.exe process is consuming about 40-50 percent, also the MySQL-service. Should I switch to a monitoring machine with more

Change Catagory
We just completed the upgrade to service Pack 3. I was looking forward to being able to change the category of items into the printer and firewall selections. Where did they move that option too? It used to be on the right hand side of the screen towards the bottom when you had a device open. Now I can not locate it.
5.5 Java Client - URL snapshot not available from URL Map
Something came up today and I wanted to share tracked response times of a URL I started monitoring yesterday with OpManager 5.5. As these custom graphs and response time lists are printed more easily from the java client, I launched the client, and found the URL map has no right clicking options at all, neither is there a capability to see any detailed view of any of the URL monitors I have listed, from the java client. Is this as intended? ...As far as everything else I'm seeing with this new version,

New Feature(s) - Wish List
I'm very impress by all the software you create. Congratulation ! But Would it be possible in the future that you think about a way to run multiple of your softwares on the same machine ! There is so many ports opened that it is almost impossible to run simultenaously even a few of them...and not only software created by other companies on your Web nms systems (ie. ACS Airespace...) I would be interested to buy other softwares, but I only have one monitoring system... Many Thanks,
SNMP version
I am evaluating the software on my network and it is all working almost fine. The problem I am having at the moment is to manage my servers on my DMZ. My firewall logs a drop package with the following description : "SNMP version earlier than version 3". My questions are : 1 - How should I proceed to use SNMP version 3 on OP MANAGER ? 2 - How should I proceed to configure passwords an authentication using SNMP version 3 ? Yours sincerely. Elton Pimentel.
Mail setting & Disk space usage
Hi, I am currenty evaluating the software and once satisfied planning to buy the unlimited edition. I have following queries 1) Does the Freeware has the facility to the monitor the space usage drivewise in addition to the disk usage( e.g. c: d: e:). I just went through the reply to a similar query wherein it was specified to goto admin-> tool->, but I could not locate tools under the admin TAB. Please let me know 2) Eventhough I have set email settings properly, it does not work. Thanks.
Monitoring Servers
Hello, We are evaluating OpManager to use it to monitor servers that are behind a firewall across a WAN. The monitoring server in on thepublic Internet. Questions: 1. What ports do we need to open at the remote firewall to monitor the server behind it? We have already opened 161 for SNMP but the WEB and SMTP services remain down even though they are up and accessible from the outside. 2. How can we monitor an Exchange 2003 server on these servers? Are you using WMI? If so what ports do we need to
Actions to problems
Does OpManager support a way of responding to certain problems? For example if a windows service is acting up, could you have OpManager automatically (depending on criteria) restart that service ? If not this would be a great feature. I've seen this feature in other monitoring products.. however they don't come close to the level of wide monitoring-support your products seems to have. regards, Halldor Hrafn

New Feature(s) - Wish List
Additional Criteria for monitoring - I would like the capability to monitor services, based on a condition. In otherwords for our clustered servers it would be useful to only monitor services on ServerB, if ServerA is not available. For our clustered Exchange servers, it's only useful to monitor exchange services on the active clustered server. If the primary fails, the exchange services which were inactive to this point on CluserteredServerB, should now be monitored. I would create a notification

Feature Request: Per device url(s)
It would be really cool to be able to define a per device url. For example pix, catalyst etc can use a http server for monitoring Hp Servers provide html pages for snmp agents etc So on the device page, It would be cool to have one or many customizable urls. If you do it, it would be cool to have no restrictions ie: Even if the device ip is 10.10.10.10 we could add an url like telnet://www.com:5858 https://10.10.10.10 http://thisisvalid ...
Adding a non-snmp device
Hi, I tried to add a device manually and when I try to do it, it prompts me for ip/mask/snmp port/community How can I MANUALLY add a device which is not snmp enabled ? Using network discovery adds it no problem but I want to do it manually so I don't get a huge amount of craps in the interface :)
Feature Request: Disabled Port Status
Hi, We are currently using IPSwitch WhatsUp Gold and there is a feature in there I would suggest. When whatsup Gold Probe a net device, it can make the difference between Port in Up and connected Port is Up but disconnected Port is Shutdown It would be cool if you could make the difference between "the port is working but nothing is pluggued in" and "the port is not working -> shutdown" It's fairly easy to do while querying the snmp agent, all you would need to do is have 3 png instead of 2... Just
