NPM Engine Status

chris.schear

Within Orion's backend, if I click on FILE / POLLING STATUS, and pull up the NPM Engine Status information, it tells me my Packet Queues, ICMP Outstanding is "-94".  It fluctuates, of course...but a negative number?  Is this correct?  My SNMP Outstanding hovers around the 600-700 range.

Please advise...

Chris,
Without looking into it more, I think that it's same to assume that this is some sort of bug within the application - probably just in how it's displaying this number, which should never be negative.

I will say that you have a tremendous amount of outstanding SNMP requests for the number of managed objects displayed above. How often are you doing polling and rediscovery?
