I have to agree with Brenner on this. It's not really feasible to monitor every single interface in a large environment. Not only from a licensing stand point, but also from a hardware stand point. The more interfaces you monitor, the larger the DB will grow and more processing power your poller(s) will need. I'm pretty…

You're right sotherls... it works fine from the web now or from Management Studio... just not in report writer. Looks like scott hit the nail on the head... report writer has some kind of bug in it with some SQL. Anyway thanks for all your help sotherls! I hope this helps out txnogas since it was really his request :} I…

Yes, please clarify where you made the changes. I am having a similar problem.

To test on a few nodes, add a where statement to the end of the script similar to what you see below. As for the domain names, here is a good start. It will have to be customized a little to match your domain name(s). Simply add or delete the WHEN/THEN statements as needed. You will need a WHEN/THEN for each domain name…

Any solution to this problem with emailing reports to Lotus notes?

I subcribe to emails from the whole NPM forum. I recieved about 100 emails from thwack post. They are doing maintenance on thwack right now, so thats probably why.

PROBLEM RESOLVED!!! SW Tech Support just sent me an updated cirrusSNMPv7.dll file. I replaced the old file with the new that they sent me. My snmp v3 devices now work with 30 char md5 and 30 char des 56 passwords. thanks dev guys

In my case, when the NPM web page stops working it Does effects the NCM page as well.

I have opened a case. ticket #: 115134

Thanks for the update Chris. I have a case open. case #: 111226 I have droped the chars in my snmp v3 passwords to 15 for now. But I would still be interested in getting a work around for this.

Here is sql script that will change the Nodes.caption field to match the Nodes.sysName field. The Nodes.caption is the node name that you see on the node list, maps, node details etc. The Nodes.sysName is the system name extracted from snmp. It is the "System Name" displayed under the node details sections. This script can…

I am on SP4. I will open a ticket shortly. I am still not able to kill the process. My user account is in the local administrators group.

Any further word on when the new release that contains dependancies will be out?

How can I kill the database-Maint.exe process. It is ran with the "system" user, and therefore will not let me kill it. The only way I am able to is to reboot the server, and I dont want to do that on a regular basis.

I'll give that a try. I dont really want to change the scan times, as I like that it scan every 4 hours, but if keeps it from stopping the scans all together, its worth a shot. At lest until SW resolves this in the next release. Jeremy

I would like to see this feature as well. As it stands, I have to copy results into Excel in order to get a count on the report results.

thanks for the clarification Andy.

I will look forward to your future post on the win2008 with NPM. I have already worked with Chris LaPoint about the issues with NCM, and I have come to the conclusions that I can work around the task scheduler issue. Thanks again Brandon.

I have done some further investigation into the SNMP v3 with NCM. It seems that I can only use up to 15 characters in the MD5 or the DES password. Any patch or other change I can make to get around this?

I did a wireshark capture to see what the snmp packets look like. Here is a snippet from a WORKING NPM PACKET: Here is a snippet from a NON-WORKING NCM PACKET: Notice that the Authentication password and the encryption password is missing. I'm guessing that NCM doesn't like the special characters in the passwords.…

I have also been experiencing this same issue with the web site hanging. I do a iisreset at the cmd prompt. I ussually have to do this twice before it will actually restart IIS. I get a permissions error the first time, then I issue the command again, and it is successful. Support recommended that I reinstall IIS, but the…

Which ports do you alert on? When I do a List Resources on one of my switches there are three different interfaces for each stacking port. StackPort1, StackSub-St1-1, StackSub-St1-2 I have selected all three on my stacks, but I have not had a failure since then to see how each interface acts when there is a failure of some…

I just realized that I am having this problem too. By database maint hangs at "Summarizing detailed data from NPM_WIRELESS". I have noticed that I have gaps in my stats collections. Then I noticed that the gaps seem to start at 2:15 AM, which is the time that the database maintenance runs. I then noticed that the…

I second the motion.

thank you very much Chris, That's exactly the info I was looking for. I think those issues are easy enough to get around. I'm glad it will prompt for the user/pass in NCM scheduler, that way I dont have to think about it on my own. :-)

I'm going to bump this. We are doing a WAAS proff of concept and CA brough in NetQoS at the same time. It looks like they can pull the stats directly into their product and that the WAE's can send the flow data to their collectors. It might be something for SW to look into. I second this motion. My boss and co-workers…

Ok, heres the zip file. There is a readme doc that explains how to use it. Good luck. Let me know if you have problems, and I'll try to help. Jeremy

Make sense. Anybody else looking for this? Tracking this internally as #4729 Please add me to this feature request as well.

lastest version. NCM v5.5.1

Thanks again brandon. one last question. I am thinking of going back to the idea of just switching everything over to the new box, without doing the test/eval. I know that you are not a fortune teller, so you cant say for sure, but what is the likelyhood of having major issues with the new install on the win2008 box if I…
