P.S. I'm also told by internal resources that spoke with Dev that Active communication is more accurate. Also that the agent installs like a micro poller for that node. SDF file, plugin files, and all. Does the agent actually do more than just provide a tunnel for communications?

We have deployed the agents as all active but we feel it'd be better to turn most of these into passive to have the polling engine control the communications instead of forcing the polling engine to juggle all the agent communication attempts. Unless I'm totally off base on this. We are also seeing massive status…

That was what I was looking for. Thank you!

I tried changing the files per your recommendations but now I can't get my test laptop to see the update. Before it would run but now it says it's all up to date no matter how I push the update from Patch Manager.

Thank you for this information. We are currently pulling debug logs to match up the actions with the time the connection was established and left open. Hoping to find some answers. I've opened a ticket prior to your response as case #490069 .

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.

Haha! Figured out my issue! the first prop must not be an int or it's getting converted somewhere. By adding [int] in front of it I'm now adding all my volumes like a champ. Thank you very much for your assistance!

Hello! Thank you for your help. I've added the NextRediscovery as the current time from the poller and also the VolumeSpaceAvailable stat but set it to 0 in hopes that it'll update the entry to the real space available after polling. I'm still getting the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error. Any…

Thanks Peter! I didn't even know WHD offered that raw data option. Looking into google Chart API I'm not seeing anything that will easily take in the data produced by WHD as row/column data. Do you know of any tutorails for a someone that's very new to this? Looking to automate this so we can include this on our Orion…

Alright thanks.

Here is the SQL conversion of our SWQL that is working in SSMS: Select Q.Caption, Q.City, Q.Country, Q.[OU_Code], Q.[Trigger Time Stamp], Q.Name, Q.[Acknowledged by], Q.Notes, Q.OrionServer from ( SELECT n.Caption AS Caption, cp.City AS City, cp.Country AS Country, cp.[OU_Code] AS [OU_Code], a.TriggerTimeStamp AS 'Trigger…

We did test it in SSMS and it worked great. Translating it to SWQL and it breaks only in that way. I'll post the whole report tomorrow. Might be something we simply missed.

That's great information, thank you. How would I be able to send notification of new updates for the third party apps provided by Patch Manager? I'd like to keep on top of all of these and right now I'm only doing so by browsing the forums or going to the console to check if the latest version is available. Generating a…

Thanks David, yes it's coming from the MMC. So integration of SCCM is limited to the commands you can issue against client machines only in the 2012 version but fully configurable is using SCCM version prior to 2012?

Turns out that we didn't have the visual C nor the .Net framework 4.0 packages that it needed. Once those were downloaded and installed we went through just fine.

I've added the credential to default since it would not let me add the user to the new credential ring at this point. Now I'm getting a " no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." Error. Does our credential need admin right to do this? I have confirmed we have admin rights on both boxes.

I didn't try that specifically but I did try to use Package boot. It looks like it has what I want to do in one very convient place. The only problem is that it didn't run my pre-requisit program and it ran the main program but not using the switches I provided in the package boot parameters. I used the /verysilent switch…

Thank you, that is what I was looking for. I can modify it to suit my needs later. Looks like I really need to brush up on my SQL.

Unsure when it stopped working but variable names I can provide. At ${DateTime} : APT user logged into ${HOST} Severity: ${SEVERITY} Alert: login ${DateTime} : ${MESSAGETYPE} ${MESSAGE}

Hello Jan Pelousek! I'm running a discovery and adding any wmi pollers detected. This includes the ones you mentioned above. This used to work prior to my changing the discovery creation section and I've not changed the poller assignment portion of my script from 1.9 to 1.10. Any other thoughts or suggestions are very much…

How did you accomplish this fix? I'm sorry but I'm not following what you are describing and we are having this exact issue. Could you post some more screenshots to show what you are talking about?

We are seeing this for script monitors error messages in an application set to monitor windows and linux servers. Weird part is running a poll now on a few worked and on a few it didn't. Same with unmanage/remanage. I have pull diagnostics to pour through as I don't have readily available access to this environment.

Can you show an example? I'm doing something similar for services like Pandora, Spotify, and Netflix but the resources only show top xx and not all end points going to these sites or receiving data from these sites. I have generated a report to do something similar to what I'm looking for but I'm finding anomalies of…

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Thank you for confirming this.

I saw this every time I searched for the example I'm remembering but I'm not able to understand what you're doing since I don't program in C#. Thank you for the help though, I do appreciate it!

Would it still be prohibitive if we were to just parse log files using this method you mentioned? Is there a way we can grab the file and pull it to the poller for parsing and remove afterwards without sharing it via SMB?

My installation of Patch Manager hasn't been getting the catalogs since at least February. It looks like my manual catalog link creation worked but I would rather find out why this mechanism is broken in my installation. It's been non-functional before the upgrade so that didn't break anything. It's not a huge concern for…

We have two licenses on this server. One we have updated the key and the other needs to be removed. This machine does not have Internet access. Is there a way to remove it?

The error was healthcheck failed so we ran the wbemtest.exe and it came back with invalid namespace for \root\cvim2. We recompiled the .MOF files and ran out of time to test if that worked. This was only done for the root\CIMV2 connector though.
