  • Hello Paul, There is currently no supported way to monitor SFTP servers using ipMonitor. The only possibility I can see is using PSFTP within a script and then trigger that script using the External Process Monitor.

  • Hello Debbi, To my knowledge, the display name associated with an email address is set within the properties of an email account on the recipient's mail server. This cannot be controlled by the sending party. Using a mail program, one can modify the display name of a contact, however, that reference only exists within the…

  • Hello xiaobao68, The first thing that needs to be clarified is that the Bandwidth Monitor will not normally fail if the interface is disabled. This is due to the fact that the Bandwidth Monitor does not monitor the status of the port, it simply monitors the amount of octets (a.k.a bytes) that have gone through the port…

  • Hello wdmail, There are a few ways to accomplish this: 1. Install and configure SAMBA on the AIX system in order to allow you to share the directory which contains the file you wish to monitor. You can then use the File Property Monitor with a UNC path. 2. If Apache or any web server application is installed on the AIX…

  • Hello alarainc, The first thing you need to do is move your expression within the double-quotes. Example: "src=10.1.1.[2]" The second thing you need to do is escape the periods. Example: "src=10\.1\.1\.[2]" To look for 10.1.1.0 to 10.1.1.149, I believe the following should work:…
    in Kiwi Syslog - Filtering "Message" Using RegEx Not Responding Comment by Fodome March 2012
  • Jrink, As an adendum to Brandon's reply, in order to Filter for a single IP address, you need to use an IP Address Filter. Set the "Filter Type" to "Simple" and use the following format: -"IP address""another IP address if needed". Example: "192.168.1.157""192.168.1.173" Hope this helps. Sincerely, Chris Foley | Support…

  • Hello Sonic, At this time ipMonitor can do GET and HEAD requests. The ability to do POST requests is something that has been requested in the past and has been added to our Feature Request list for possible implementation within a future version.

  • Hi Dlglsupport, The fact that ipMonitor is not getting anything for 1.3.6.1.4.1.232 tells me that you don't have the required SNMP agents installed on the remote system. Having that said, try installing HP's Insight Manager on that system. At that point, rescan the system using the Add New Device wizard and it should…

  • Hi theguru, With Exchange 2000/2003, you would simply query the 'Exchange_Mailbox' WMI class using a VBScript and trigger it with the External Process Monitor. As WMI is no longer supported in Exchange 2007, you would need to write a Powershell script do pretty much the same thing. The following article has a good example…
