    in Integrate NotePage Pro with IPmonitor Comment by Fodome August 2010
  • Hello patrickmcclory, I don't believe that ESX is part of the issue as ipMonitor will simply communicate directly with the Windows 2008 R2 system using WMI queries. Having that said, I would be interested in knowing the numbers being reported by the Monitors when the issue occured. In order to do so, here's what I need you…

  • Hi Mystic, The answer to your question depends on weither the Firewall/Router can be configured to send Syslog Messages when a specific URL has been requested.

    in HTTP / ASP Monitor question Comment by Fodome June 2009
  • Hi Jwashburn, ipMonitor cannot interpret the response as an integer for 2 reasons: 1. According to UCD-SNMP MIB, the value being returned for 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101 should be a string of text, not an integer. 2. The value contains a decimal, which means it is not an Integer. The only way around this would be to configure…
