Has this been addressed in version 10?

I'm guessing you meant this link: https://support.ipmonitor.com/scripts/b958b9a8f41942c7beec0c477fb4ce7c.aspx I don't understand how determining if a process is running on a remote machine can tell me if a SQL server has a blocking lock? Are you saying I could create a VBscript to query SQL via WMI and if a blocking lock…

I believe the answer is in the PDF manual, but it has something to do with creating a username/password on the ipMonitor server the same as a username/password with admin rights on the server you are trying to access that is not on the same domain. Then you can use those same credentials within ipMonitor.

One more thing to note on the FILE PROPERTY monitor, even though "size" isn't checked, you cannot continue, OK or APPLY, until you enter any value into the field.

Would you be willing to show example vbs scripts for storing the data in SQL and asp code on how you are achieving this? Creating a page to mark faults as in progress is a great idea. -Charles S

I am under maintenance. I haven't attempted this yet. Really wanted to hear from someone else who successfully completed this migration.

But what happens if the interface I have the link watching isn't the one that goes down, then the link still shows it's up. Also, if the node itself goes down, then the interfaces show up as 'unknwon' and the link still shows its up. -Charles

Can you provide some examples of Traps you are alerting on and the settings you configured in your ipMonitor TRAP Monitor?

So how can I mass edit Device Names? All the monitors within the devices have been corrected.

The last post is what I did (Custom SNMP monitor) a few weeks ago. It works fine, just takes time getting it all setup if you have a lot of routers with a lot of interfaces.

I already had License Manager installed and the log shows no errors and all entries are for when I just opened it. I can upload the log to you if you would like to check it. That would be strange if the license manager is the only component that relies on .NET when the .NET error shows that the faulting application is…

I'm trying to execute a powershell script and I always get a return value of 1. I used your example [Environment]::Exit(2) and 7 but still the same always a 1. My executable name, directory and startup directory are the same as yours. Any ideas?

Normally on a Cisco PIX and ASA SNMP queries are locked down based on IP address. So within the ASA and PIX config, you need to add your IP address of your ipMonitor server. Something like: snmp-server host inside xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx community public (or whatever your readonly string is).

yes, a gadget would be nice. Just a view of down monitors with how long they've been down. -Charles S

I would like this too. I have different standards I follow for each time of monitor - CPU, PING, MEMORY, etc. Some I have it check every 60 seconds, other I have it check every 300 seconds. It would be nice to set defaults for each time of monitor.

1. Open "<install dir>:\SolarWinds\ipMonitor\internal\js\si_webr.js" in Wordpad 2. Find the following line (search for 300): var height = _minictx.height ? IPM.ui.topx(_minictx.height)[0] : 300 3. Change from 300 to your desired value and save file. 4. Refresh Dashboard and you should see Map resource update with new size.…

Can someone also explain the rules on this? I normally just use the "File count must be" < [#]. Select the AND next to this gets the monitor working again. However, if I also select AND next to "Directory existence" "Directory Must Exist" the monitor will fail. Select "Sample" shows the directory does exists and the file…

I got the same exact issue. I haven't tried any of the work arounds. I pay for support, so I opened a ticket seeing that others are having the same issue.

I have created Case # 67621 on 11/11/08. Waiting for resolution.

I'm now trying to do the same thing, monitor the last modified date of a file. However it doesn't matter if the option is checked or unchecked, the box is greyed out with n/a. Is this a bug??

Also, I went into the properties on the old device and set the "Property Refresh Policy" to Keep Old Values on Rescan then updated with the new System Name and IP then applied this. Then I changed it back to Refresh values on rescan. Then I rescanned the device. The values are now back to the original old values. If I can…

I'd love to see the database in SQL. The price difference for Orion for 1000 monitors is just too much to justify...although it is a great product.

Search these forums, you'll find discussions about using the following lines. These is the easiest way to get rid of everything. This what I did. Now for each Java release, I modify the new package to perform a MSI uninstall of the previous release. Keeps it clean. Target 32 bit install: wmic product where "name like 'Java…

I got this fixed. I found that my test server had WSUS installed once before and was uninstalled. That left the shares WsusContent and UpdateServicesPackages pointed to the wrong folders. I pointed these shares to the correct directories and everything is working fine now.

I've never seen a document, but I can tell you what I do. All my devices are grouped by location - State, City, Facility, Floor, Room (Each group being a folder). Each folder that relies on another folder has that folder added as a dependency. This helps in suppressing alerts. Each device has the PING monitor set to fail…

I ended up resolving this issue by rebooting the Windows 2003 server ipMonitor was running on.

I am in need of this as well.

I notice now that it did work for all the monitors, but it did not update the Device Name.

This is great...thanks for passing it on. Keeping posting more ideas like this. Question though, is it possible to only show monitors that had a "down" state in the past hour? -Charles S
