i understand what esx server is. we have them ourselves. your question was about a particular vm if i read it correctly. not the esx host itself.

forget it. i removed the credential in the gui for the monitor and now it works.

ok so i logged into our ipmonitor server with the ipmonitor service account and i can run the script from command line successfully but it get 'access rights are insufficient' error when running via ipmonitor GUI. i am using the same account in gui with the run external process option checked. any suggestions? seems the…

also i am able to enum the clasess remotely via wbemtest

perfect. worked great. thanks!

i think it is starting to work now. if it is then it was as simple as running a ipconfig /flushdns on the ipmonitor server (i think. i have tried so many things at this point it is hard to tell exactly).

i get OBJECT_NOT_INITIALIZED what does this mean?

will take a look. any suggestions within ipmonitor though. what within ipmonitor itself might cause this issue?

also how would i mass remove the old one. if i am cloning it leaves the old one which is showing down on all of the devices...

any idea on this? i need the same . I would like to be abel to mass edit a change on drive space from percentage to a fix disk space value.

if i clone i have to pick 1000 individual devices to clone to or can i pick a folder and it will clone to each device in the folder. individually picking 1000 devices to clone a monitor to would be insane

uses devcon to disable a nic when a monitored web page goes down in order to facilitate initialization of failover to another box. not sure i can do this remotely without something like pstools. is there a way to call the .cmd remotely on the box i want to disable the nic on? i.e. devcon disable PCI\VEN_1022

we don't allow junk email in the environment via outlook. also nothing change in my outlook. and it happens to everyone in the different alert lists (about 30 people). and it wouldn't be from solarwinds. it is an email account on our exchange servers internally just like everyone else. we just have an email account for the…

ok i am stuck in the same boat. i have a large number of monitors which i basically want to copy because i need different thresholds based on size not timer (i.e. 1 alert for drive at X space and another at Y space). so to do this i need to i guess clone all of the existing monitors, move them to orphan group, and finally…

great. thanks!

i know this is very old but i am getting access permission errors in ipmonitor and when i run it from command line i get object not initialized errors for remote computers. if i run the script on local pc it works fine. any ideas? tried all kind of wmi and dcom permissions options. the account being used is an admin…

solved: for the next person.... just create a smartgroup based on monitors instead of devices. then use that group as the main view.

how about a real calendar option for alerts. i am sure a huge % of your customers have oncall rotations and the current calendar is woefully inadequate. better yet allow import/export via outlook or sharepoint calendars. would make things so much easier. no way to do an oncall rotational alert right now that changes…

not sure on sms alerts but i assume it is the same for any kind of alert. we have an alert with 3 actions. each action is assigned based on the calendar option of day/time. 1st shift gets alert mon-friday 8am-5pm, etc. works great for us. we use it for email based alerts but it should be the same no matter which function…

been having the same issue for years with no resolution. just FYI. i have found that if you mix up the connection types it helps. i find the majority of these errors are when using RPC method. try switching to WMI and SNMP when possible also to help alleviate it.

i haven't used this in awhile and for reasons other than ipmonitor but it may work for you who knows. there is a command line smtp relay program called 'blat'. here is the link http://www.blat.net and the faq here http://www.blat.net/?faq/index.html if you can get an external email server to allow 'blat' to work with it…

could you create an 'alert' for when this goes down but use the 'external process' option? put your script into a format that the 'external process' monitor will understand or use it to kick off your script somehow.

maybe start here for SNMP side setup http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/1315/Enabling+SNMP+on+VMware+ESXi%2C+ESX+3.5+Server%2C+or+ESX+4.0+Server also if you look at their Orion support for it only the host info is via SNMP (see video link below especially xls file around 1:19). the actual guest info is via…

where can i find built 1242? the website release notes show up to 1236...are you talking about the 8.5 1236 to 1242 or for v9?

solved at least for me i believe. this is a bit of work but here goes: 1. this guy was kind enough to do a php script to suspend a monitor remotely. 2. i just put xampp (which has a webserver and php built in) on a windows box and enabled curl to use it. 3. the script uses the numeric id to suspend a monitor. you can pull…
