Monitor for password change or expiration

May 6, 2009, 9:12 am

We had a situation recently that has raised some questions.  We have a spam filter that uses ldap to query for real accounts before allowing email in.  A service account is used for the ldap query. 

That password got changed/expired/something happened to it last night so all email was being blocked.  When I looked at the account in AD the account was not locked out and the password was set not to expire.  I re entered the password and tested LDAP with no issues.

 

Now here is my question, can you think of any way to setup monitoring using IP monitor to test if a certain account and password is working.

Resource monitors using WMI in v8.5

February 7, 2008, 3:53 am

I'm trying to add some resource monitors using the WMI method in v8.5 without success.

For example, I select to add a memory monitor and go into the wizard. I set the parameters to point to the server by its IP address, de-select SNMP, leave Use WMI selected, and select the credential which in this instance is the local administrator account for the target server. When I click next I get the following error :

---
No memory pools were found at "192.168.xxx.xxx". To resolve this issue, ensure that:

The IP Address / Domain Name, UDP Port and Community Name are entered correctly.
A firewall is not blocking access to the remote device.
---

I've checked that from the server that we've installed ipMonitor on I can connect to the target server. I've also used the WMI command-line program (wmic) from the ipMonitor server to login to the target server using the exact same login details as used above, and that works fine, and I can access all the servers details correctly.

On the target server the event log only shows entries for the successful connection attempt using WMIC, and nothing shows at all for the failed attempts made by ipMonitor.

Presumably ipMonitor using WMI should be the same as WMIC, but there is obviously a difference there somewhere which is allowing me to connect with one method but not the other. Does anyone have any idea what difference that might be?

Both servers are running Win2k3 SP2.

Account permissions

Another one I missed during beta:

v8 had allowed the suspension of monitors without requiring the "Write" permission.  This was extremely useful, as we do not like our NOC disabling monitors, but do want them to be able to suspend.  Any way to get this back to the way it was?

Adjusting Physical Memory Thresholds

I would like to adjust the Last value and Short Term Physical Memory thresholds globally for all monitors currently in use.

Current alerts received show as follows -

        

status: Both thresholds, last value and short term, have been exceeded; rtt: 145ms; avail: 114.59 MB; avail: 11.20%; avail-avg: 13.64%

I would like to adjust the rtt, avail, and avail-avg trigger points.

I have read several posts in the knowledge base and the closest post to what I need was as follows -

Yes, you can go to the "Devices" tab the select down arrow on the  "Edit" button then "Mass Edit" then select "monitor properties".
Here you will be able to make filter rules that will bring up which  monitors you want to edit and replace existing rules with the new rules  you would like.
Example: All my MEMORY monitors have the word MEMORY in the Display  Name line so for the rule i would - Add monitors where property DIsplay  Name matches regular expression: MEMORY. This would bring up all the  Memory monitors for all devices in my senario and then i could change  the Rules that i want to that apply to those monitors.

Can someone give me step by step procedure to adjust  the Last value and Short Term Physical Memory thresholds globally please?

Thanks - Wayne

Is there a better way to do Process monitoring via SNMP

August 20, 2010, 10:47 am
$

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?

ipMonitor 10 - updating HTTP: User Experience Monitor using API

November 15, 2017, 8:44 am

ipMonitor Info:

  Version: 10.0

  Build: 1371

 

Hoping someone might be able to provide some insight on an issue i'm having...

I work for a small-midsize ASP/Hosting company. We develop and host our application on our equipment and host it to our customers over HTTP/HTTPS. Occasionally our app crashes or becomes unresponsive so i have created a monitor in ipMonitor called HTTP: User Experience which sends an HTTP request to a specific .jsp of the app to see if it responds. The monitor grabs the file size and checksum of the specified URL and matches it to the values that were saved in the monitor when it was initially created.

 

My issue is that we make regular changes and updates to our app which means we need to recompile the code. When we do this, the .jsp that we query gets changed (every single jsp gets touched) so the checksum of the file comes back different than what was originally set in the monitor which causes it to go red and send alerts regardless of whether or not the page is responsive. The only way to rectify the issue is to manually login to ipMonitor, navigate to the monitor, select update under the Analysis of test results section, and then select apply once the new checksum is generated. We make changes so often that this can be a pain and a lot of times people either forget to do it or just don't bother since they know someone else will.

 

I have been working with the API (via PowerShell) for quite awhile to disable/enable monitors or make changes to drive space thresholds so i'm pretty familiar with it but i can't figure out how to initiate the update to get the new checksum. I can manually change the values but i don't know what ipMonitor is using to get the checksum. It's definitely not MD5 or SHA... it looks like it may be some sort of CRC but i haven't been able to reproduce a checksum using any of my tools.

 

Does anyone know what ipMonitor uses to get the checksum for HTTP requests??

Or better yet, does anyone know if there is a way to initiate an update through the actual API?

 

Here is a picture of the monitor for clarification:

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Support for RFC2982 MIB

Whenever I attempt to monitor the value of an expression that is set to Integer32 in ipMonitor I get "The device returned the query in an incompatible format; value: 0.0000"

An snmpwalk gives me: "INTEGER=222222"

Does ipMonitor not support the use of RFC2982? I've set the expExpressionValueType as integer32 and the snmp walk seems to verify this. Why does ipMonitor think it's invalid?

Thanks for the help!

A couple of Problems

IPMonitor has been running fine for the past 3 weeks without any problems but since yesterday I've been experiencing problem with the credentials account being locked out every hour or so and also error messages coming up from monitors themselves.


What I don't understand is why the credentials account that is used by the monitors has suddenly started playing up, its a domain admin account that is only used for IPMonitor and it keeps locking the account every hour or so. I'll inlock the account and it will work and then becom locked again. Anyone got any ideas?


Also I've started getting these messages from some of the monitors see below


The ipMonitor 8 service context does not have the necessary privileges to impersonate


 


Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password; oserror: 0x52e - presume this one is because the ad account is locked out


 


The remote device rejected the request due to an internal error this is on an Exchange internal monitor


 


Any help would be much appreciated.


 


Thanks

Hello All,

 

Good Afternoon!!

 

Dhyanesh here from IT company working as Sr. System Admin and handling IPMonitor all by myself. I have configured SSL monitors for our several production websites and monitors are all working fine on 443 port except for now we have decided to stop using TLS 1.0 and use TLS 1.1 or higher. Now the trouble has started because all my HTTPS monitors have stopped working with error: The server redirected to an unsupported protocol in IP Monitor.

 

So please help me how can i allow TLS 1.1 and higher support in IPMonitor.

 

Please let me know in case more information is needed from my end.

 

Thanks,

Dhyanesh Mehta

 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.

 below is the log I've got when I force a test.
