Hi All, I've spotted a few thwack posts that can help from some of the new changes in v1.5. I thought I'd fire up a thread about it.
IPAM v1.5 includes a preliminary tool that can tweak some default UI settings. The tool allows you to change defaults for all users. You will find it here: c:\program files\SolarWinds\Orion\IPAM\SolarWinds.IPAM.InternalSettings.exe.
UI Settings, Configuration Defaults
Some users have found that initial settings in the Add Subnet page always require changing. The tool will change it so the initial values in the page don't need (as much?) changing. The following initial values can be changed.
Some of us want to tweak the behavior of the main page. These settings should help.
For my installation, I've changed the max items in the tree from 150 to 300. I've also changed the page size for subnets from 100 to 1024. My machine does well at with these settings, you may find differently.
Note: There is a known issue where the tool will “throw an exception” if the account & password aren’t properly validated. If it happens, just load it again and try again with your account and password.
Here's a screenshot of the tool along with the default values IPAM operates with. If the values are blank when running it for the first time, I suggest filling in the remaining details from this image.
Let us know what you think, or if you need assistance leveraging the tool.
Peter.
Thanks Peter - very helpful - can finally fix the first column to the correct size to view everything and no more hacking files to make my IP subnet list display more entries!
I guess the only thing that would be nicer would be if this could be integrated into the IPAM settings on the webpage rather than on a server based app.
Now I'm just looking for a way to change subnet scan times on all the subnets already added en masse instead of one by one :)
Thanks!
Sean
Hi Sean
While the tool doesn't do a change en masse, I do have a non-production solution to change the scan times. I have provided our support staff with this resource, and If you open a support ticket and cite this thwack post, that should be enough to get what you're after.
Agree on the integrating into webpage, however, we wanted to get something to ya'll in this release to help with these items. Based on time and effort, this was a good first step.
What username and password should be entered in this form?
Database admin, Site admin, Machine admin?
