SNMPv3 Does not work

≫ Next: Adding "Parent Device" field to NOC view/details view

Hello All,

IpMonitor Server: 10.8.2 Build 1500

I have created SNMPv3 credentials on few hardware devices like APC ATS and PDU with below configurations:

Authentication Protocol: Available options are SHA and MD5. Treid both

Privacy Protocol: Available options are AES and DES. Tried both.

Now i created a SNMPv3 credential in IPMonitor as below configurations with exact same username and password set in the device :

Usage Restrictions: May be authorized for use by any account

Disaply Categories: Only selected SNMPv3 Authentication.

Everytime i scan the device with SNMPv3 monitor it crashes IPMonitor service. The service goes into stopping state and i have to start the service. Can somebody please help me setup SNMPv3 monitor?

Thanks,

Dhyanesh Mehta

Adding "Parent Device" field to NOC view/details view

≪ Previous: SNMPv3 Does not work

A bit of research showed me how to add the "parent device" field to the devices view:

- Right-click to the right of the column headers in devices view

- Add it from device properties

- Go to configuration -> my settings and save it

But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add it to the NOC view. As far as I can tell, adding the fields to NOC view is the only way to get them to show up in the "Edit monitor" view (which we also use as a "details" view.)

Compare and contrast the two screenshots attached. One has the device settings and one does not. I'm not even sure HOW I have that on one of the systems in question, since I didn't add it - some default setting that I messed up on the other system?

Any insight from anyone who might be hanging around?

≪ Previous: Adding "Parent Device" field to NOC view/details view

I am setting up some new Smart Groups which will contain servers for a common system but for different environments. So, for example, SmartGroup 1 will be called "Development" and smart group rules configured to only include those servers with tag matching "BusinessApplication" and "Development".

My problem is that I have 20+ servers used for "BusinessApplication" across 4 different environments and they all appear in the same smart group because they all contain the tag "BusinessApplication".

Does smart group include the facility to use logical operators? So I can create Smartgroup called "Development" and the rules set to only include servers with tags matching "BusinessApplication" AND "Development".

Thank you

Also, the release notes do not say anything about adding support for Windows 2012 or R2.

≪ Previous: IPmonitor show blue icon when interface down

Hello All,

We are using IPMonitor v10.8.2. My scenario is as below:

We have 5 different networks. IPMonitor server resides in 1 of the network. Now what i have done is i have configured Private IP of other network's Firewall (You can conside router in general) as a depenecy of each device in a network. So for Example for each device resiging in A network has depency as private IP of firewall of network B and so on all devices of all netowkrs are configured.

So my question here is, is it right way of configuring dependency or have i made any mistake here?

Because whenever Internet goes down in 1 particular network, the depency should be active as the other network connectivity is still there and as i have set other networks Firewall as dependency, it should detect it as active and suppress email of current network right? But it is not happening. We still get all the alerts of all devices from this particular network.

So please help me understand and configure group dependency in a correct way.

Thanks.

Hello there 8-)

I've brought a GSM modem and config everything I could find from the Doc.and once I trigger the SMS alert, the IPmonitor sent a SMS to my mobile properly .but after that, the SMS alert never worked again. 8-(

I've checked other post on the forum, and also change the bit rate to 115200.

my GSM MODEM is using the chipset WAVECOM Q2403A which compatible with GSM Phase2 / 2+
I could use AT command to sent message from the GSM MODEM.so seems the GSM modem should not have any problem.

BTW: coud you give me a more detailed configuration guide for how to connect a GSM MODEM ? or where I could got more debug message ?

thanks in advance.

Event Log Monitor - Want to trigger alert if it finds 5 entries in the log

April 9, 2009, 1:32 pm

≫ Next: OID for "Memory\Free System Page Table Entries"

≪ Previous: WAVECOM GSM Modem not work .

In ipMonitor version 8 and earlier, I was able to configure event log monitors to send an alert only if it saw x number of entries that matched the search criteria. Essentially, if our web app threw one error, we'll review it in the morning. If it throws 5,10 or continuous errors in the event log, I want to send an email to the on-call phone.

I'm at a new position now and have installed a trial copy of ipMonitor 9 and am trying to configure the event log monitor to do the same thing. I works in finding the pattern but sends an email after only 1 event even though I have "Accumulated Failures per Alert" set to 5. In addition, while it sends an email, the monitor is never "down". I recall in earlier versions, the monitor would be down until the next test, say 5 minutes later.

Can the new version do what I'm asking?
Is there a setting I'm missing?

thx,

Is there a better way to do Process monitoring via SNMP

August 20, 2010, 10:47 am

≫ Next: Event Log Monitor - Help

≪ Previous: The network path was not found; oserror: 0x35

We monitor processes via SNMP using a two line powershell script which does a snmpwalk of the current running processes on the target machines host_resource mib, returning a 0 or 1, depending it it finds the process or not. This simple script works for both Unix and Windows successfully however we have hit two problems.

The first, is that it cannot differentiate multiple processes by the same name.

The second problem is that the overhead of using powershell for these 20 external process monitors can be greater than ipmonitor itself which has over 3000 active standard monitors. I think this is because powershell is using CPU to actively check if the snmpwalk has come back yet, which can take a second or two.

Below is the simple but effective generic script which we pass the target server, community string and process name as parameters. It runs on the IPMONITOR host machine, requiring nothing installed on the target servers.

if (invoke-expression "d:\net-snmp\usr\bin\snmpwalk -v 1 -c $($args[0]) $($args[1]) 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2" | select-string "$($args[2])") { Write-Host "FOUND"; exit 1 } else { Write-Host "NOT FOUND";exit 0 }

Does anyone have a better/faster/more effecive/alternate way of being able to solve or improve either of these issues?

Does anyone know if process monitoring, including monitoring multiple processes of the same name, will be added as a monitor type at any point in IPMONITOR's future?
