OpUtils problems (bugs?) and suggestions
I'm having a couple of problems with OpUtils.
1) In the Network Monitor, the "Alias Name" of several switches I am monitoring keeps reverting back to "Not Defined." I have clicked on the name and set it many times and it stays set for an undetermined amount of time, but always eventually (within a day? an hour?) goes back to "Not Defined." I currently have 45 devices I'm monitoring, and I have set Alias Names for all of them, but only those same 4 or 5 devices keep reverting back to "Not Defined." So, if an alert is generated, I get "Not Defined is down" for example.
2) The Switchport Mapper is not ignoring a port I have told it to ignore. We use APC Symmetra battery backup devices and when the Switchport Mapper performs a scan it generates a flood of alerts from the Symmetras. I have maked the port that the Symmetra is on as "Excluded" but it still scans that port. I have even turned off SNMP scanning and have set the scan to be a PING scan only, but we are still getting SNMP alerts from the Symmetra.
3) In IP Address Manager, on the Audit tab, actions that I have performed under MY login account are being attributed to another user. That user did NOT perform those actions. I did, and there is no way I could have used that user's account as it is tied to Active Directory and I do not know the password and we do not share a computer.
Now I have a couple suggestions.
In the IP Address Manager, I have set up several nodes for organizing the IP addresses and named them according to how they are used on our campus. But they are not listed in alphabetical order which makes finding the group/node I'm looking for difficult. This list should be in alphabetical order.
Actually, that's the only suggestion I can think of right now. I had more, but can't remember them now.
