I've exported DUDE settings and installed on another Server and imported the XML.

Having set it to run as a Service, on my old server when the app closed it would still be seen in the Task Manager processes, but when I close on new server it is not.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have various probes that are monitoring several servers.

Is there a way to show historical space availability?

marcopolo

Could anyone suggest a solution so we can monitor disk space for Virtual Machines, we have a mixture of Hyper-V and VS2003

Thanks

marcopolo

Is it possible to config monitoring for Windows Server event errors?

marcopolo

Yes, it seems that the notifications for each device had become disabled (unticked) so I re-enabled it for the items that have notifications.

marcopolo

No it isn't, but isn't that showing the setting from the top level in settings > polling if you wanted to set all object to use notifications by default? If it's unticked you then set at the lower level for each object you want notification for. My issue was that it was working and then stopped afte...

I'm trying to use the DHCP probe for server but continually receive timeout in the 'Problem' field

DNS, http, Netbios and Ping are fine

Any ideas?

marcopolo

This seems to have happened since rebooting the server where Dude 3.6 resides

marcopolo

Just noticed all my email notifications have stopped. First thing I did was restart DUDE 1. Checked the Polling tab on a monitored server which is set 'Use Notifications' = ticked, and the name 'Notification' is ticked, when I check this and press the 'Test' button I get the email. 2. Checked the Se...

The broken link are virtual servers but I've not setup the fixed links.

What I now want to do is monitor activity/performance between one server running an MS application but where the SQL database is located on another server. Is this possible with Dude?

Thanks

marcopolo

Dude is installed on my PDC, the external HD is connected to a Server that Dude is monitoring but the copy requirement is only once a month. I think half the problem is the lack of configuration that probes enjoy, e.g. there's no average over time, only instant interogation of a single point in time.

marcopolo

I'm not sure the polling interval will make much of a difference. I was copying 80Gb so that can take a considerable amount of time, simply changing the polling internal will only delay when it interogates, not improve the sensitivity.

marcopolo

Done all that but doesn't seem to show much at all

marcopolo

I'm hoping this is probably a setting per network object.

I was copying a large chunk of data to an external harddisk and Dude reported lots of unstable emails for said server, what's the best setting to adjust?

Thanks

marcopolo

I have a map that has the servers defined and ports they connected to on the switch. Is this a good start?

marcopolo

I've got dude already setup, then I've created seperate maps for various items such as Workstation, Servers, Switches, etc.

Should I create another map? If so how do I then show the traffic, etc

marcopolo

Yes basically, would like to see the packetflow and whether I can identify certain areas, whether switch, server, etc

marcopolo

Is there an easy process I can go through to show bottlenecks?

marcopolo

So it is, silly me.

So do I need to populate any Send/Receive area?

marcopolo

I see there is a Probe for DNS, but how would I setup one for DHCP?

Would I use a TCP and set the port and what other settings would need to be populated?

Thanks

marcopolo

Do you think it's something that is likely to be added to DUDE at some point, it would be an extremely useful facility?

marcopolo

Yes I saw that but was put off by the amount of configuration so I've tried this today and it works a treat. http://sourceforge.net/projects/switchminer/ The sample command line I use is this, which also maps all the chlid switches sm -s 10.0.0.3 -c public -r 10.0.0.21 -e public -l Where 10.0.0.3 is...

marcopolo

Ok, I'm still looking how I can track what domain PC/IP address is mapped to which switch port?

marcopolo

When I tested with some software it would show me port numbers and resolved IP/Domain name connected, so I guess it's possible but simply walking the units delivers nothing.

marcopolo

I have a map with only switches added and want to know if there is a way to interrogate them to see what devices are connected to what port by IP address.

I know there are plenty of tools out there, but I'm hoping I can acheive the same with Dude

marcopolo

Thanks, and the % is based on availability, not used

marcopolo

Cheers, I missed some calculation

[round(((oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1")*oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.1"))/1024)/1024*1024)] rounds up to 18gb now.

marcopolo

I've a quick question hopefully.

When I view a graph for a device such as a server, is the CPU % refering to the same % as refered to in the task manager performance as I need to monitor CPU/Memory over a period of time?

Thanks,

Mark

marcopolo

Anyone help with this, the first rounds up the value to two digits, but the second shows more. [round(((((oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1")-oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1"))*oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.1"))/1024)/1024)/1024)] rounds up to 11gb [round(((oid("1.3.6.1.2....

I have this setup in the appearance of my servers, simply insert into the 'label' though you will need to make sure you have the correct OID Current disk space available C:[round(((((oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.2")-oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2"))*oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4...

marcopolo

Could someone explain to me the Probe Timeout and Down Count?

I'm thinking I need to change these on a global scale since we get a lot of down/up emails within a very short time interval.

Thanks

marcopolo

I'm using these in appearence to show available diskspace but is there anyway to round up the values C:[(((((oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.2")-oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2"))*oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.2"))/1024)/1024)/1024)] GB D:[(((((oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5....

marcopolo

Yes I can pick the port but how do I know that this device is physically connected to that port?

Can I not snmp walk the switch and it tell me what device it is connected to?

marcopolo

Could someone explain the best way and what settings I should have for discovered items that I want to update and not end up with duplications on my map. When an update is run, I often get the same name computer appearing twice but with it's new IP address I appreciate the discovery checks the DNS e...

marcopolo

Cheers, but if I do that and know for a fact that a server (teamed NIC's) is connected to a switch how can I be sure which port I'm monitoring is connected to that server?

Both the NIC's on the Server and Switch are SNMP enabled

Thanks

marcopolo

If I manually add a device how do I set it to show the connection lines without discovering since I auto discover only on the first time of map creation?

Ta

marcopolo

Thanks, I'll take a look. All I really want is a map showing the hardware and what switch port it's connect to, I'll know the subnet from the IP of the device so don't really need to see Computer > subnet > switch. I've also notice the ether port it shows is only displayed between the subnet picture...

marcopolo

My Map is starting to look and feel very unworkable so I was wondering whether I could simplify the look and feel. I have probes setup to monitor Server thresholds that work fine, but... The links and the layout is a right mess, trying to see what hardware is connected to what port of a switch is al...

marcopolo

It would be useful to have some feedback from the people in the know please.

My current DNS lookup is set to 'none' for Windows PC's is this correct?

When Dude performs a Discovery update, should I change the Discovery settings?

marcopolo

Just noticed that I'm starting to see duplicate domain names on the map, but different IP addresses. I've checked the DNS forward and reverse lookup and these are fine, with the TTL set to 20mins and lease time for DHCP is 30mins. Obviously DNS names stay the same but since the lease is 30mins, the ...

My available line equates to this, which are Hard Disk 'Drive' letters refering to disk numbers. if((((((oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.2")-oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2"))*oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4.2"))/1024)/1024)/1024)>0, 1, -1) So you're saying remove the '2' Regards...

marcopolo

I've set the discovery not to use certain services but these are still being assigned.

Any ideas?

marcopolo

Initially installed on workstation, used this to create a configuration that I could export/import into the Dude when installed on server.

I've just unticked the service 'Radius' to see if this stops the event message

marcopolo

I've installed Dude on both a PC and Domain controller, but have noticed this error in the server 'system' event log and it's only appeared since installing the application. Further chaecking shows the event happening approx every hour on the hour "A RADIUS message was received from the invalid...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Dude too and I'm trying to set up the win_diskc_free_percent probe as defined by pjulian Feb.10.2009 in this thread. I have the SNMP community defined correctly and I can do an SNMP walk from The Dude to my servers. I created the function exactly as pjulian describes and...
