Tsommoore, At this time there is no way to do this because the Device Name is not stored within the XML of the Monitors. The best you could do is add a column to the Data Table that would pull the Parent ID, however, this will only give you the internal ID of the Device the Monitor belongs to. Sincerely, Chris Foley -…

Hello BTSpaul, Turns out these time zones come from the Windows registry and the one for Greenwich Standard Time does not have a setting for DST. Having that said, in order to set it to use UTC, simply use the Greenwich Standard Time entry. Sincerely, Chris Foley - SolarWinds - Support Specialist Support: 866.530.8040 |…

Hi BTSpaul, Can you kindly open a case for this using the following form: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket From what I can see, there appears to be 2 different items within the timezone list: * Greenwich Standard Time * GMT Standard Time Unfortunately I am not sure what the difference is between the two and I will…

Hello Teecee, In order to add you to the Feature Request and notify you if and when it becomes available, we will need you to submit a case at http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket. You can also open a case, like Chaldz did, by calling the Solarwinds Support Department at 866.530.8040. Thanks in advance. Chris Foley

Hello Chaldz, As per our phone conversation, it appears the current time selection is being cached for the session. Having that said, in order to get around this you would need to do one of two things: - Log out and log back into ipMonitor. The report will then be for the last 15 minutes, instead of the 15 minute block…

JMelia, If the scripts fails to complete, it will error out and return and error level other than 0. My guess is that the Credential you are using is not able to run the WMI query within the script. Try this: 1. On the ipMonitor host, open a CMD Window. 2. Type "Runas /user:[Account] cmd.exe" ***where [Account] is the…

Hello Udsaxman and co, The problem is due to the fact that the number of allocation units exceeds the maximum number supported by the Host-Resources MIB, which is 2147483648 (2^31). In order to get around this limitation, you would need to switch to SNMP Informant which supports integers as high as 4294967296 (2^32). First…

multivendortesting, You need to wrap the IP within single double-quotes like so: "172.16.0.254" The test will fail because the filter does not match the contents of the test message, which is fine. To test this, add a Display Action to your "New Rule" Rule and set it to Display 01. Then, click OK and set the Display to…

Simon, May I ask what make and model of GSM modem you are using with ipMonitor? Thanks in advance. Chris Foley

Alternatively, you can also simply set the send time via the registry to 11:55 PM. More on this is found here: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/syslog/adv_reg_stats_delivery_time.htm Sincerely, Chris Foley • SolarWinds • Technical Support Office Hours: Mon-Fri 8AM-5PM EST 866.530.8040…

The next thing would be to enable the following option within Modifiers: Replace non-printable characters with <ASCII value> This will replace all CRLFs with their ASCIC values of <13> and <10>. If the codes bother you, you can remove them using a "search and replace" with your favorte text editor. Sincerely, Chris Foley |…

Good day, Here's how you can remove the CRLFs from the syslog messages: 1. Open the Kiwi Syslog Server Manager. 2. Click "File -> Setup" 3. Click "Modifiers" 4. Check the following boxes: -Remove CR/LF from end of messages 5. Click OK. That should do it. Sincerely, Chris Foley | Support Specialist SolarWinds | IT…

Hi chaldz, Sure thing. To that same SmartGroup, add the following filters: -Remove Monitors where status is up -Remove Monitors where status is warn -Remove Monitors where status is lost -Remove Monitors where status is offline As a result, your list of Monitors will be Monitors that have changed to a Down state within the…

Hi All, * The first thing I recommend is make sure you are running the latest version. At this time, the latest version is ipMonitor 9.06. * The second thing is to try adding a Device. You can do this by going to the Devices tab and clicking "Add -> Add New Device". * If this does not find anything for you, you are likely…

Softy783, Keep in mind that if your Kiwi Syslog Server is installed on a 64-bit OS, the registry key will be: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Solarwinds\Syslogd\ and not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Solarwinds\Syslogd\ Hope this helps.

Hi Brachus, Looking at the log, it seems that most of the file is composed of spaces. Despite the fact that I have supported ipMonitor since it's early beginnings, I have never seen this behavior. Having that said, I think dev is a good place for your case. However, I do have 2 questions: 1. What do you see if you run…

Hello Wdmail, Essentially you want to organize your Monitors and Devices based on the trip taken to get to these. For example, let us say you are monitoring the Bandwidth and the Drive Space on a Mail server in a specific office and these tests depend on a few appliances such as a Gateway and a Switch. In order to…

rfranks, you need to edit the Credential you are using and ensure that the following box is checked: -May be used with Windows Impersonation to start an external process brocku, the script uses a WMI query. You will need to look through the following article: -msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa389286(VS.85).aspx

Hello brock.c, This is something that is on our feature request list and is being considered for implementation within a future release. In order to be notified if and when such a feature is implemented, please open a case online at http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket. Sincerely, Chris Foley - SolarWinds - Support…

Hello Ekrengel, There is a way to schedule a backup, however, there is no way to schedule an export. Having that said, do you simply wish to backup your ipMonitor configurations or you require the XML for importing into a 3rd party application? Let me know. Sincerely, Chris Foley - SolarWinds - Support Specialist Support:…

Hi Freemen, The test duration is the amount of time ipMonitor is willing to wait for a response to come back from the resource it is testing. It is a time window between the beginning of a test and the countdown until the next test. For example, let's say we were pinging a device every 30 seconds and for some reason the…

Hello RhodanNZ, Your best bet is to use the Network Scan. This will scan your network for systems it can detect using: * Ping * SNMP Connection All systems found will be scanned for: * CPU * Drive Space * Memory * Humidity * Temperature * Fans * Bandwidth * Battery * Etc. For a full list, simply open the "Smart Monitor…

Hello theguru, The HTTPS Monitor can connect to a specified web site, request a specified relative URL and check for a string of text on the page. Would this be sufficient or do you have to monitor the checksum of the page? Chris Foley - SolarWinds - Support Specialist Support:866.530.8040 |Direct:512.682.9385…

Hi Tim, This is indeed possible. You would simply use the Restart Service Action to restart the Service in question and use the External Process Action to run the batch file or script of your choice. A few notes regarding these Actions: 1. The Restart Action uses the values within the Monitor's "Recovery Parameters"…

For your Free Drive Space question, you would use a similar method. The only problem is that the Host-MIB does not provide free space. It provides Total Space and used Space. On the other hand, the Informant MIB provides Free Megabytes (see…

Hello Seigniory, For your Service question, in theory, this should be possible using a Custom SNMP Monitor. Here's what you would do: * Click Device * Go to All Managed Devices. * Select the Device that has the Service Monitors * Click "Add -> Add New Monitor" * On the left-hand side, click "SNMP" * On the right-hand side,…

Hello dmagnavill, To my knowledge it is not possible to pass an environment variable from the script through the SSH client and into ipMonitor. Having that said, in this scenario ipMonitor can only monitor if the entire process failed or succeeded. The script is therefore written to "fail" if its thresholds are not met by…

Last time I checked, I was still around. :-)

Hello duanew, As ipMonitor is considered an entry-level application, all of its data is written to a proprietary and binary database. The advantage of this is that the database remains relatively small and fast while containing years worth of statistics. The disadvantage of this is that the database is not open, therefore…

Hello Pozzwali, At this time there is no way to export settings out of ipMonitor and directly into Orion. On the flip side, adding custom pollers to Orion on a mass scale is much easier than in ipMonitor. For example, if you are Monitoring a specific OID against 500 systems using ipMonitor, you would need to create 500…
