401 Access Denied using the WSDL API
I am running ipMonitor 10.6 and cannot for the LIFE of me connect to the WSDL via code.
I can see the URL in my browser just fine, but, on the same machine, via code, I immediately get a 401 Access Denied error whether I use SOAP or CURL.
Documentation is dry at best and there aren't many examples out there.
$context = stream_context_create(array('ssl' => array('verify_peer' => FALSE)));
$soapURL = 'https://domain.com/soap/status.asmx?wsdl';
$soapParameters = array (
'login' => 'user',
'password' => 'password',
'WSDL' => TRUE,
'stream_context' => $context
);
$soapClient = new SoapClient($soapURL,$soapParameters);
And that yields:
HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 401 Access Denied

ADO User Experience Error
i am trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL 2005 Express server with a domain account to verify the account can connect, and get this error:
Native Error Unique Error Number Description Source

Is this an issue because it is SQL Express?

Problem getting external process action to run...
I'm having some trouble getting an external process action to run. I have a space alert monitor and when it goes off I have a powershell script that goes out to delete some spaceholder files to clear the alert. When testing I get the error "Access rights are insufficient. The test failed". I've tried running under multiple credentials. I've logged into the ipMonitor server using those credentials and run the command line from the alert with no issues. As a test, I even tried putting a bad path to the powershell.exe executable and I still get the same error so I'm not sure what it's testing to tell me access rights are insufficient?
I'm sure something is wrong, but without any more detailed errors or logs I'm having some problems troubleshooting. Anyone else run into a similar issue or have any troubleshooting suggestions?

Multiple NIC and SNMP issues?
We are using ipMonitor 10 to monitor about 400 servers right now. We are moving forward with a new backup system that runs on a separate network. To make this work we are installing a secondary NIC in all of our systems. On my ipMonitor box after I installed the secondary NIC I started getting SNMP failures on most systems. So my question is, is this normal?
Setup:
NIC Team: internal network (default gateway set)
Secondary NIC: backup network (no default gateway)
We are registering DNS for both as well. I'm trying to determine if the second NIC/network caused the issue or if it was something else. Using a SNMP test utility it would fail as well. I have since disabled the secondary NIC and things seem ok, but I did have to restart a great many systems' SNMP service before they came back online.
If it did cause the problem, is there a way to make ipMonitor only work via one of the connections? We aren't using Traps at all, just simple SNMP for things like drive space, CPU, etc.
Thanks!

email alert not working
email alerts have been working for years with no problem. all of a sudden a couple of days ago email alerts stopped working. need assistance to troubleshoot and fix. here are some points regarding the issue for us.
1. the monitors are going red and are set to alert.
2. there are group alerts setup.
3. if i go into a group alert via
- Configuration
- Alert List
- go to that alert
- Force Test
the alert works fine and i receive the email
4. if a monitor goes red i do not receive email. no changes on monitor alert setup. has been working for years.
5. we recently had an exchange upgrade but that was about 6 months ago and it was working after the upgrade.
6. we recently had a mail domain name change so we edited all of the To/From email addresses in the alerts and in Configuration, System Settings, Identification
7. this started happening after the ipmonitor server was rebooted a couple of days ago.
8. i noticed at first that the tests in #3 above were giving cannot connect errors. i wound up having to go to
- Configuration
- System Settings
- Email Delivery
- i had to add SMTP relay server option with exchange server domain name and port 25. after doing this i was successful on manual test in #3. however automatic alerts are not working.
oh and also i can talk to the exchange server via telnet from ipmonitor server and send mail that way no problem (like this example http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153119. also email server pings from ipmonitor server.
can you explain how i can force test and alert and get the email however when the monitor goes red and is supposed to alert it is not doing it?
or better yet can you help me resolve this issue. it doesn't make sense to me.

Can IPMonitor monitor a ColdFusion WSDL to make sure it is responding?
We've had a CF WSDL crashing on us, and we'd like to know when/if it stops responding to requests. I tried a HTTPS monitor but the only response I got was "The server redirected to an unsupported protocol".

ipMonitor - Auto Login as Guest
I had submitted a ticket to support and they had said this isn't possible but I got it figured out and wanted to pass it along. We run a central digital signage in our IT dept that displays ipMonitor dashboard. On reboots I wanted it to auto start the page and login. Since the addition of the guest account and button in ipMonitor, you can now call this URL to accomplish this (you must enable guest l: https://servername/login_form.htm?guestlogin

Historical Data
Hello,
I was recently asked to pull performance data on one of our systems, much to my horror I have no historical data on any of my nodes. I went to run a report and when I finish filling in the info, server name, the monitors I want data on, the date etc. I get nothing for my results. Could I have missed something on setup? I'm working in a Windows environment monitoring around 45 systems.

How to monitor a Windows process
Is there a way to monitor an .exe that's running on a Windows server? For example, say I have a process that shows up in the Windows Task Manager as application.exe, can I monitor it with ipMonitor 9.0?
It's not a Windows service, but rather a process that's running on the server.
Thanks!

Printer monitoring via OIDs
I am curious if there is way to monitor things like toner low and paper out/ jam using OIDs. The current OID im using is straight from the SNMP search(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.2.1) and according to the decsription it should funtion properly. However, the values returned are not accurate and I am not informed when the toner is low or if paper is out. I have tested this by manually removing the paper and the toner low warning is already active. I have an HP 2840 colorjet that's Jetdirect compatible
