Scalability recommendations
Interface count
We recommend monitoring up to 10000 interfaces in a single installation. If the count exceeds 10000, it will be efficient to increase
the monitoring interval of those interfaces. Adding more interfaces will directly impact the overall performance of the product.
Note:
1. Interfaces that have no data collection for the last 30 days will be automatically unmanaged and marked as 'Idle Interfaces'
under the interfaces Inventory page.
2. You can avoid the addition of unnecessary interfaces by choosing appropriate criteria and conditions in the interface
Discovery page.
VLAN count
To avoid any hindrance in the performance of the product, OpManager limits the count of VLANs discovered to a maximum of 3000.
New VLANs will not be allowed to be discovered in OpManager post the specified limit.
Note: Adding more monitors than the numbers suggested above will directly impact the performance of OpManager. If it is required
to add more monitor than this, then the polling interval of that monitor must be increased accordingly in order to balance the load
on the OpManager server.

If you are upgrading to OpManager Enterprise Edition for reasons concerning scalability or remote network monitoring or both, you
can migrate from OpManager Standard/Professional without having to start afresh. This means all the configuration and historical
data in the existing OpManager installation can be safely ported to the enterprise edition during the migration.
Upon migration, the existing OpManager installation (Standard/Professional Edition) will function as a Probe server. The Central
server has to be installed in a new machine.
To migrate to OpManager Enterprise Edition, follow the steps given below:(For OpManager version 124181 and above)
Step 3: Migration
Migrating to OpManager Enterprise Edition can be done in two ways:
Historical data from probe servers can be sent to the Central server based on user preferences. However, the historical data will still
be available in probe server.
The migration process is complete. Now the OpManager installation functions as a probe server and synchronizes data with the
Central server. Page 30
* Points to note:
The OpManager Central version (to be downloaded) has to match with the existing OpManager version
(Standard/Professional Edition) for successful migration.
The OpManager version can be found by clicking on the User icon on the top right hand side of the existing OpManager
installation.
The Probe Installation Key can be found under OpManagerCentral > Settings > Configuration > Probe Details.
Historical data - The past performance data collected by OpManager. Historical data is used for populating graphs, charts
and generating reports.

What should be monitored?
Active network monitoring is a must to gain accurate and real-time visibility of the health of your network. However frequent
monitoring can become a huge strain on your network resources as it generates a lot of traffic on the network, especially in large
networks.
We recommend monitoring only the critical devices on the network. This is a best practice adopted by the network administrators
worldwide.

Monitoring Interval for a Device Category
OpManager allows you to set common monitoring settings for all the devices under a specific category.
1. Under Settings > Configuration > Quick Configuration Wizard > click Monitoring Intervals.
2. To enable monitoring for a category, select the check box under Enable column for the infrastructure you want to monitor and
enter the monitoring interval in minutes. To disable monitoring a specific category, uncheck the respective check box.
For instance, if you want to monitor servers every minute, ensure that the check box corresponding to Servers is selected and then
enter '1' in the adjacent box.

Types of Credentials supported by OpManager
Monitoring Credentials (SNMPv1/v2,SNMPv3,Telnet,SSH, WMI, VMWare, Citrix, UCS, Nutanix)
OpManager accesses the remote devices using the protocols SNMP, CLI, or WMI. The credentials like the password/snmp
community, port etc., may differ for different device types. Pre-configuring a set of credentials in OpManager helps applying
them to multiple devices at a time, saving a lot of manual effort.
SNMP v1/SNMPv2: SNMPv1 /v2 are community based security models. They use access mechanisms known as 'Read community' (for
Read access) and 'Write community' ( for Write access ). The following are the parameters that are essential for a SNMP v1/v2
credential:
Provide a name for the Credential name and description. Configure the correct Read and Write community, SNMP Port, SNMP
Timeout (in seconds) and SNMP Retries.
Note: SNMP Write Community is optional and is used if you don't have read access. But it is mandatory for the OpManager
plugins.
SNMP v3: SNMPv3 is a user based security model. It provides secure access to the devices by a combination authenticating and
encrypting packets over the network. The security features provided in SNMPv3 are Message integrity, Authentication and
Encryption. If you select SNMPv3 as the credential type, then configure the following parameters.
Note:
Ensure that the snmpEngineBoots and snmpEngineTime parameters specified in the device are in-sync with those specified in
the SNMP agent. If not, the device discovery in OpManager will fail.
Make sure that the context name given in OpManager is mapped properly to the agent credential
How to check if the snmpEngineBoots and snmpEngineTime values specified in the device are in-sync with those in the SNMP
Agent ?
You can use the Wireshark tool to check if the snmpEngineBoots and snmpEngineTime parameters specified in the device and the
SNMP Agent are in-sync with one another.
Download wireshark from here and query for the SNMP OID from the MIB browser. If the SNMP response message is a report with
OID 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1.2, then it means that the boot time and boot count are not synchronized. Page 44
WMI: WMI is a windows based credential used for authentication of devices that run on Windows operating system. If you select
WMI as the protocol, configure the Domain Name, the User Name, and the Password. Example:- TestDomain\TestUser. Also enter the
credential name and description.
Note:
The amount of information that can be monitored using the WMI credential depends on the whether the credential supplied to
OpManager has full admin privilige or not.
If the credential does not have full admin privilige, certain operations like Folder monitoring ( for restricted folders ) cannot be
done. Hence it is recommended ( though not mandatory ) to use WMI credentials that has full admin priviliges for monitoring
using OpManager.
If your network has a threshold limit on the number of incorrect login attempts, supplying an incorrect WMI credential might
lock out the device in the Active Directory if the number of incorrect attempts cross the threshold limit.
Incorrect credentials will also affect the OpManager performance. Hence it is always advisable to schedule Test Credentials to
ensure that the credentials supplied are correct and up-to-date.
Telnet/SSH:
Telnet: Ensure you configure the correct login prompt, command prompt, and password prompt besides user name, password,
port number, timeout (in seconds) and click Save to access the device.
SSH: Configuring the SSH protocol is similar to Telnet. Follow the steps mentioned in Telnet to add a SSH credential.
SSH Key Authentication: This is a feature available for the SSH protocol. Choose SSH and select the SSH Key Authentication
option. Ensure you configure the user name and choose the SSH Key using the Browse button. Enter the correct command
prompt besides the port number and timeout (in seconds) to access the device. To know more, click here.
A Password prompt / Login prompt is the symbol in the CLI response which is used to decide the end of the response. The most
commonly used password / login prompts are #, $.
Ensure that the correct password prompt and Login prompt is provided while defining the Telnet / SSH credential in OpManager
since an incorrect Login / Password prompt will lead to failure of device discovery
VMware:Provide the VSphere client username and password. Enter the VMware web service port number and timeout interval for
the connection between the Host and OpManager server.
Also, ensure that the credentials provided are those of the VCenter under which the required hosts / VM's are present
Citrix: Provide the Username and Password of the Host. Enter the web service port number and timeout interval for the connection
between the Host and OpManager server.
UCS: Provide the UCS Manager Username and Password. Enter the Port, Protocol and Timeout interval for the connection between
the UCS and OpManager Server.
Nutanix: Provide the username and password of the Prism API element, the protocol being used (HTTP/HTTPS), the timeout value for
the connection and the port in which the Prism element is running.
Backup Credentials (Telnet, SSH, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3)
Page 45
These credentials are used for discovering devices into OpManager plugins like the Network Configuration Manager module.
The Network Configuration module uses these credentials for taking Router/Switch config backup, and to perform complaince
check and config change management periodically.
These credentials are used for discovering devices into the OpStore module.
This module enables storage monitoring of Disk, LUN, RAID etc. The Storage credentials helps you to monitor the storage devices
like Storage Arrays, Fabric Switches, Tape Libraries, Tape Drives, Host servers and Host Bus Adapters cards from all leading
vendors in the industry.
SNMPv1 / v2:
Credential Pre-requisites:
The following are the pre-requisites for the various types of credentials supported in OpManager
SNMPv1 / v2:
SNMP v3:
Make sure the SNMP v3 authentication details received from your vendor has been implemented properly in the device
Make sure the context name given in OpManager is mapped properly to the credential
EngineID should be unique for all the SNMP v3 devices in an environment
Ports: The default port used for SNMP v3 is 161. Make sure that this port is not blocked by your firewall
Make sure the engine boot time and engine boot count is updated properly in the SNMP agent
Page 46
WMI:
Telnet/SSH:
For Telnet/SSH, ensure you configure the correct login prompt, command prompt, and password prompt besides the user name,
password, port number and timeout (in seconds) to access the device.
The default port used for Telnet is 23 and SSH is 22. Ensure that the port is not blocked by your firewall.
For SSH Key Authentication, ensure you configure the user name and choose the SSH Key using the Browse button, and correct
command prompt besides the port number and timeout (in seconds) to access the device.
The default port used for SSH Key Authentication is 22. Ensure that the port is not blocked by your firewall.
UCS:
Make sure the UCS Manager Username and Password having remote authentication is configured.
Enter the Port, Protocol and Timeout interval for the connection between the UCS and OpManager Server
VMWare:
The default HTTPS port used for VMWare is 443. Ensure that this port is not blocked by your firewall
Provide the VSphere Username and Password of the VCenter under which the hosts and VMs which need to be discovered are
present.
Auto VM discovery feature is used to automatically update any changes in the vCenter environment ( such as addition of new
VMs to a vCenter ) to OpManager.
For monitoring VMware related devices, it is enough if a credential has 'Read only' privilege.
Certain functions like VM On & VM Off require admin privilege. Hence ensure that the credentials supplied has admin
privileges.
Nutanix:
The default HTTPS port used for Nutanix is 9440, and the default timeout is 20 seconds. If necessary, please change these values
according to your requirement.
Provide the username and password of the Prism element of the cluster under which the hosts and VMs to be discovered are
present.
Add Credentials
OpManager accesses the remote devices using the protocols SNMP, CLI, WMI or VMWare API. The credentials like the password/snmp

Discovering Networks Using OpManager
OpManager uses ICMP/Nmap to discover the devices in a network. You can either discover a specific range of devices or the entire
network.
Discover interfaces
Interface discovery can be performed in different ways.
By default, automatic discovery of devices will be disabled in OpManager. To enable it, go to Settings -> Discovery -> Discovery
Settings and enable the Interface Discovery option. OpManager will now automatically discover the interfaces associated with the
discovered devices (when discovery is performed from 'Add Device' page). During bulk device discovery, the required interfaces can
be selected and discovered from the Discovery-Interface page.
From the Interface Discovery page (only for OpManager versions 125174 and above):
Schedule Discovery
You can schedule device discovery in OpManager at specific intervals by specifying the IP range. The created schedule can be saved
as a profile and reports can be generated. To schedule a profile,
1. Click on the 'clock' icon displayed under Actions column of the respective Discovery Profile.
2. In the Discovery Schedule page, define the frequency at which you would like to re-run the discovery schedule and save the
profile.
Page 51
Page 52
Discovery Filter in OpManager
You can choose to add or ignore any single device or a set of devices before configuring device discovery schedule in OpManager.
Open OpManager and click on Settings -> Discovery -> Discovery Profile.
Click on the Add Discovery Filter at the top right corner.
Choose either Ignore/Add Device(s).
Specify the criteria - IP Range/ IP Address/ Category/ Device Type/Device Name.
Enter the Value or IP address as per the 'Type' you selected.
Finally click on Add and proceed with scheduling discovery.
OpManager will add/ignore the devices as per the filter specifications.
Page 53
Add Device Failure Message
Is an error stopping you from adding new devices to OpManager? Here is a list of error messages and the corresponding reasons on
why a particular error is triggered and solutions on how to resolve them.
When the device you are trying to add is not pingable, this error is displayed. It is triggered when you are attempting to add a device
using its device name.
Solution
OpManager searches for the device using its device name and pings the device. If the device name is not found, this error is
displayed. This can be fixed by avoiding typos in the device name.
Note: When adding the device using its IP address, the device gets added even though it is not pingable. But its status is
classified as "Device not monitored". OpManager periodically pings this device and when it is available, it is added and
classified accordingly
Solution
When using the same display name for multiple devices with different IP address, make sure to disable Unique System Display Name
(Discovery > Discovery Settings > Unique System Display Name)
Make sure devices with the same IP does not exist in OpManager.
This error is displayed when the network IP and device IP are the same.
Solution
Network IP turns out invalid when the IP that is standard to a network (.0) is configured for a device. Check for typos and make sure
the correct value is entered.
Ensure the Device IP doesn't match the Network IP when it is fetched automatically.
Cannot add device. This edition of OpManager does not support adding more than {n} devices
Cause
Your device has run out of licenced devices that can be monitored. Here, {n} indicates the number of device that has exceeded the
licencing limit.
Solution
Page 54
Delete/Unmanage unwanted devices to make room for the new ones or purchase a licence that can accommodate a larger number of
devices.
Add Device Failed - Device Name : Problem in adding the device, please contact support with support
information file
Cause
This error is exclusive to SNMP devices. This error is triggered even though the device you are attempting to add is pingable. The
reason this is happening is because the Sysname turns up empty when trying to fetch the device details.
Solution
Sysname is a mandatory field, make sure this field is populated before attempting to add the device. To verify the status of the
Sysname, query the SNMP device to check if the SysName (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5) returns a value.
Page 55
Device Discovery Error: 'Unable to contact IP driver. General failure'
This alert message is generated when OpManager server fails to contact the monitored device during its periodic availability status
poll. This error generally appears in a VM environment where the Virtual devices are running any Windows OS and when they are
unable to reach outside the network due to any of the following causes.
Cause:
This error occurs in your VM when there is a possibility of WinSock and WinSock2 setting being corrupted.
Solution:
You could try to point to the following registry paths:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2
i. Backup the above registry.
ii. Go to another server (running the same OS configuration), go to the above registry paths, export the registry and copy them to
your current server.
iii. Double click on the reg files to register, reboot the system to see how it works.
Source
Cause:
This issue is caused by a duplicate Security Identifier (SID) in a Windows 2008 or Windows 2012 virtual machine, when the either of
them are deployed from a template or a cloned virtual machine. And the guest customization option is not selected while deploying
the virtual machine.
Solution:
To resolve the issue, you need to run the sysprep tool to generate a new security identifier for the virtual machine. To do this,
TCP/IP issues
Cause:
When you are unable to ping the loopback address/local setup, there are chances of your TCP/IP stack being corrupted.
Solution:
Turn off User Account Control (UAC) and login with the domain admin account. Follow the below steps to reset TCP/IP to its original
state:
i. On the Start screen, type CMD. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt, and then select Run as administrator.
ii. At the command prompt, enter the command given below and then press Enter.
When you run the reset command, it overwrites the following registry keys, both of which are used by TCP/IP:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP\Parameters

Adding devices using SSH Key based authentication in OpManager
A SSH key is an access credential used in SSH protocol. It provides the same functionality as the user name & password except that it
is much more reliable and cant be easily cracked.
OpManager supports SSH key based authentication. To use a SSH key, you must first generate it. Use the following steps to generate
a SSH key credential and discover devices using OpManager:
�
Paste the public key copied previously in the authorized_keys file.
Key Verification:
You can check if the SSH key has been generated and assigned correctly by opening the putty.exe, entering the machine name and
then� from the left side panel selecting SSH -> Auth -> Load the Private key and opening the connection. � This should log in with
the key file. A successful login is an indication that the device has been added correctly using the SSH key.
This step will generate two keys - a public key and a private key.
The public key can be shared with other devices while the private key must be kept confidential as it will be used for authorization
purpose.
Key Verification
The Discovery Rule Engine is condition/criteria based. During discovery, devices that satisfy the condition/criteria are associated with
the actions specified in the Discovery Rule Engine.
1. Go to Settings -> Discovery -> Discovery Rule Engine and click on Add rule on the top right.
2. Enter a Name and Description for the Discovery Rule Engine.
3. Criteria refers to the parameter of the device which must be checked for applying the rule (Such as DNS Name / Category /
Type...). Define the Criteria and select the Condition.
Eg. Select Service Name as the Criteria and equals as the Condition, and enter the POP3Svc (POP3Svc is a MSExchange service.
This is to verify whether the discovered device is an exchange server or not.)
4. If required you can define multiple criteria, but have to select either AND or OR option.
AND: Executes the action when all the defined criteria are satisfied.
OR: Executes the actions when any one of the defined criteria is satisfied.
5. Define the Actions. An Action refers to the process to be performed on a device if it satisfies the specified criteria.
The following are the list of possible actions that can be performed by a Discovery rule Engine:
Edit
Copy As
Enable/Disable
Delete
7. Click on Save.

OpManager allows you to discover Layer2 devices that are connected to your network and draws a visual representation of the
same. This includes a detailed map of all the nodes, interconnected layers and port-to-port connectivity in addition to the
interfaces.
To start discovering your layer2 devices, go to Settings > Discovery > Layer2 Discovery. This process can also be initiated from
Maps > Layer 2 Maps > Create New.
Enter a name in the Layer2 Map Name section and proceed to type the IPv4 of your seed device in the Router IPv4 Address
section.
Configure a seed device : A seed device is the core router or L3 switch in your network. The device must have SNMP-
enabled so that OpManager is able to query the device and draw the links automatically. The seed device should
have "ipForwarding" set to 1 for the OID - .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0 and must have two or more interfaces. (identified by querying
the OID - 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1)
The seed router will be connected to a vast number of devices. If you wish to restrict your Layer2 Map to a certain IP range,
enter their Start IP and End IP and press the �+� icon. You can specify multiple such entries.
Discovery Mechanism:
OpManager supports multiple discovery protocols. Choose one (or more) that is implemented in your seed router/L3 switch.
This will drastically reduce the time taken to discover the devices.
Schedule interval:
As changes happen to the networks frequently, OpManager allows you to configure an interval (in days) to re-draw the map. For
instance, if a change happens once in a week, you can configure OpManager to re-draw the map every seven days.
Note: Uplink Dependency happens only during Device Import and not during Layer2 Map discovery.
Credentials:
Choose the SNMP credentials required for the seed router to identify the devices. You can add new credentials from the Add
Credentials button.
Page 63
This stops the status polling and data collection for the device and changes the device status icon to grey.
This resumes the status polling and data collection for the device. The status icon shows the current status of the device.
Page 65
Go to Inventory.
Select the devices you wish to manage/unmanage.
Click on the menu at the top right and select manage/unmanage devices.
You can also use the Quick Configuration Wizard (Settings ? Configuration ? Quick Configuration Wizard ? Manage/Unmanage
devices) to manage or unmanage devices in bulk.
Page 66
Page 67
Configuring Custom Fields for Devices or Interfaces
Configure additional properties of a device/interface by adding Custom Fields. This makes device management easy.
You can also import custom field properties from a CSV file. To do this, go to Settings ? Configuration ? Custom Fields ? Import
Values button. Click Browse button and choose the CSV file containing the Custom Field properties for device or interface.
The properties added is applied to all the devices or interfaces. To view the Custom Fields, go to the respective Device or Interface
snapshot page and check the Custom Field section.
In Enterprise edition, the 'Add Field' action can only be performed from the Central server. You cannot add new custom
fields from the Probe servers.
Page 68
Configuring Device Dependencies
The status polling for a device can be controlled based on its dependency on some other device. This prevents the unnecessary
status checks made to the dependent nodes.
For instance, many devices will be connected to a switch. If the switch goes down, all the devices connected to it will not be
reachable. In this case, it is unnecessary to check the status of the dependent devices.
To configure the dependency for devices, follow the steps given below:
Select a category from Filter by category to list the devices managed under a specified category. Select a device from Select
parent device and click Next.
OpManager stops monitoring the devices if the dependent device is down. Configuring dependencies prevents false alarms.
Page 69
Page 70
Configuring Device Templates
During initial discovery, OpManager categorizes the network devices into servers, printers, switches, routers and firewalls. For proper
classification, install and start the SNMP agent on all the managed devices.
OpManager comes with over 9000 device templates which carry the initial configurations to classify the devices into the pre-defined
categories, and to associate monitors to them. The device templates enables you to effect a configuration once and is applied to
several devices at a time whenever there is a change.
The templates carry the information required to classify the devices and to associate relevant monitors. You can define your own
templates and modify the existing ones.
Device Identifier:
Device identifier is used to pin point an SNMP device by observing its sysOID. OpManager uses this feature to map the device to its
respective device template. If you do not have the sysOID, you can also obtain it by querying an SNMP device of your network using
Query Device. To further assist you with in \-depth device template classification, Additional SysOIDs can be employed. This is done
by editing the existing sysOID and adding special criteria. Click here to learn more.
Associating Monitors:
Choose and add Monitors to the Device Template. These Monitors will automatically be associated to the devices upon discovery. You
can choose from existing Monitors or create new ones.
Device Classification:
The classified devices are placed under different categories for easy management. For proper device classification, make sure you
have installed and started SNMP in all the network devices before starting OpManager service.
Servers
Routers
Desktops
Switches
Firewalls
DomainControllers
Load Balancer
WAN Accelerator
Wireless
UPS
PDU
Printers
Unknown
Storage
URLs
WAN RTT Monitors
VoIP Monitors
You can also add your own infrastructure views. For example, if you want to group a set of sensors, it will be absurd to classify them
under servers or desktops. In such cases, the custom infrastructure allows you to create more defined groups by adding additional
custom views.
This will fetch and sync all new device templates from the shared repository of OpManager. You can also enable auto sync option.
This enables you to discover new deivce templates at constant intervals.
You can enable auto sync by visiting Settings -> System Settings. But if the auto sync fails to for about three consecutive times due to
connection issues, it will get disabled internally. However, on the product UI it would still appear as 'enabled'. To actually re-enable it
you have to restart the service once again.
Page 74
Auto sync will also be available in the inventory page. And when you drill down to the device snapshot page, you can see the 'sync
and rediscover' option which allows you to rediscover the device which was perviously unavailable without the device template.
Page 75
Configuring Interface Templates
During initial discovery, OpManager categorizes the device interfaces into corresponding interface types with the help of predefined
templates that are bundled with the product. OpManager comes with 292 interface templates which carry the initial
configurations to classify these interfaces and associate monitors to them. Any changes made in the interface template will directly
reflect on all the corresponding interfaces of the same type across all the devices in one go.
OpManager also allows the users to define multiple severity thresholds for interface templates, thereby generating alerts when the
threshold values are violated.
Manage/UnManage: Specify whether the interfaces belonging to the template must be managed or unmanaged.
Monitoring interval: Select the interval at which this interface type must be polled to fetch monitoring data & availablity
status.
Configure Thresholds: The threshold values for Utilization, Error Rate and Discard Rate can be specified under the
corresponding tabs. OpManager also allows you to configure multiple severity thresholds for the same. Enter the threshold
values for Attention, trouble, discard and rearm. If the threshold values are violated, corresponding alarms will be raised. You
can also configure thresholds for Interface groups.
Note: To stop monitoring the Utilization / Error Rate / Discard Rate, uncheck the checkbox in the corresponding tabs.
Status poll : Poll the interface for its availability using SNMP (ifAdminStatus & ifOperStatus).
Page 76
NOTE: Selecting Apply template to all interfaces, Select interfaces to apply template or Select Groups to apply template option will
completely override the existing interface configurations.
Page 77
Categorization into Default Maps
Devices are categorized into the following default maps in OpManager: The classification is done using SNMP and NMAP.
Servers
Routers
Desktops
Switches
Firewalls
DomainControllers
Load Balancer
WAN Accelerator
Wireless
UPS
Printers
PDU
Virtual Device
UCS
Unknown
Storage
URLs
WAN RTT Monitors
VoIP Monitors
The discovered devices are classified into the above categories based on response to SNMP requests sent by OpManager to the
devices. The devices that are not SNMP enabled, and the device types which are not included in the template are incorrectly
classified under desktops. You can also add your own infrastructure maps to group your devices according to categories, or create
business views to logically group devices, for instance, based on geography.
Page 78
Adding new Infrastructure Views
You can create more defined groups by adding more custom views. For instance, you might want to group all your Environment
Sensors or IP Phones into separate infrastructure views.
After you create new infrastructure views, you can create device templates for devices of this category. This allows you to define
monitors specific to the category and automatically applies the configurations defined in the template to the devices as soon as they
are discovered.
Page 79
Different Types of Views
Heat Map View
It helps you to visualize your entire network health in real-time from a single page. It uses color codes to communicate the severity of
the monitored devices. HeatMap view can be accessed from the Inventory > All Devices, Server, Router, Server, Desktop� etc.

What is a group? Page 81
The Group feature in OpManager helps the admin group devices or interfaces together for organized network management and to
push bulk configurations easily throughout the product. Groups and subgroups can be used as a filter in Reports, Widget,
Notification Profile, URL Templates, Downtime schedule, Alarm suppression, Device template, Interface template, Test credentials and
Workflow. Groups are useful to view the average availability distribution of all the members in a group, automatically add members
to a group on discovery and to configure threshold for a group of interfaces irrespective of the interface type. Admin users will have
complete access to groups whereas, operator users will have only Read-Only access to groups.
What is Grouping?
What is a subgroup?
OpManager allows you to create subgroups within a group. Subgroups make bulk configuration and filtering of devices much more
easier. You can create multiple subgroups and associate it with a parent group.
For eg:
Consider two device groups - "Routers of model A" and "Routers of model B" in an organization. They can be collectively grouped
under a parent group called "Routers".
Similarly two device groups - "Central Servers" and "Production servers" can be created and placed under a parent group called
"Servers".
The two parent groups - "Routers" and "Servers" can be placed under a group "Network devices in India", which now becomes the
parent group.
In Reports/Widgets, when "Network devices in India" group is selected, OpManager provides a detailed report of all the devices
under the subgroups present under the parent group -� "Network devices in India".
Similarly the subgroup feature can be used in any module where grouping is supported.
Click on Settings → Configuration → Groups and click on the "Add" button or go to Inventory → Groups → Add Group.
Provide a suitable group name and description and click on Next.
Select the type of elements you want to add to this group.
Select the method to group the elements. You can group elements either 'Manually' or by 'Criteria'.
If you selected the 'Manually' option - Select the group members from the available list and click on 'Next'.
If you selected the 'By criteria' option - Select any one of the property available from the dropdown box, select a condition and
provide a suitable value resolving the property and condition and click on� '+' icon.
Add multiple criteria if needed, along with the logical operation� you need to perform based on the criteria. Click on Next.
From the available members listed, select the members you want the group's health to depend on. If no members are chosen,
then the health status of the group will depend on� all the available members by default.
Page 82
Click on Settings → Configuration → Interface Templates. Under the Interface groups tab, click on a group name and configure
the threshold settings.� Click on 'Save and Apply'.
The configured threshold values will be applied to all interfaces in a group irrespective of type.
Interface Types :
Click on Settings → Configuration → Interface Templates. Under interface types, click on a interface type name and configure
the threshold values. Click on 'Save and Apply'.
In the new tab displayed, click on "Select groups to apply" option and click on 'Save'.
The threshold will be applied only to interfaces of the selected type.
You can also view the availability data in the 'all groups' widget in the dashboard of OpManager.

AD Authentication
Identity and Access Management is an important part of network and data security for any organization. It helps you ensure
compliance with policies, password management and acts as a means to administer access control to users.
The AD Authentication feature in OpManager helps you with just this. It allows you to authenticate users from within OpManager
without using an external third party identity management tool. It allows you to grant / revoke access & security restrictions to users
and also allows you to provide role based access control for accessing OpManager within your organization.
You can make Active Directory's password policy work for you if you have a Windows domain. Users login to OpManager using their
domain login name and password. This will greatly minimize the risk of making others using your password to access the OpManager
Web interface, thereby not just improving the security but also making it easier for users to login/create accounts. You can define a
scope for users (AD groups, remote offices or all users), thereby restricting their access based on their roles.
With the increase in software applications, each with their own authentication and password complexity levels, this feature also
saves you the trouble of having to remember way too many passwords.
Add an AD Domain
You can create Domains in OpManager and users manually in OpManager with the AD Authentication and User Management
features.
To add a domain:
2. Enter the Domain Name and the Domain Controller name in the respective fields.
Page 86
3. If you are on builds 125111 and above, you can see that LDAPS authentication is mandatory when you add a new domain, to
ensure secure communication with the domain controllers. Simply click on the 'Import Certificate' button and select your domain
controller's certificate to add it to OpManager.
To know more on how to export a certificate from your domain controller, check out these articles:
Note: When you upgrade from a lower version of OpManager to 125111 or above, LDAPS is mandatory only for the domains that
you will be adding after the upgrade. For domains that are already present in OpManager, it is optional. You can just click on the
'Edit' button to import certificates for your existing domains.
6. Once the domain is added, you can manually add users in the Users tab.
Configure Auto-login
Page 87
The auto-login feature allows you to add all/individual users or selected AD groups to any domain, and assign user permissions to
them.
1. Select Add/Edit under Actions for the domain you want to configure.
All users
To enable Auto-login for all users, select All Users under Users. The auto login will be enabled to all the users logging into
that domain.
Selected AD groups
To enable Auto-login for selected AD groups, select Selected groups under Users and type the names of the AD groups. The
auto login will be enabled to the AD groups you specify.
4. Once you enable Auto-login, select the Users and User Permissions for the domain, edit the Time zone if required, and click Next.

Remove Users
In OpManager, it is possible to add and remove users using an admin account or with an account having permission to do so. Follow
the steps given below to remove users from OpManager.
Prerequisites:
Note: Pass-through authentication will work only for the active directory users already been added to OpManager. If you do not
want to manually create user account for all the users in your domain, enable auto-login for the domain (Admin ? User Manager
? Windows Domains). Once auto-login is enabled, you have to manually enter username and password of your account only
during the first login and an user account in OpManager will be created automatically. From there on, you can simply work
without manually entering.
Note: After version 124085, new computer accounts can be created from the Passthrough configuration window itself, if the
OpManager service is running under a user who has administrative privileges. Also, if the OpManager server has been started
from Command Prompt, make sure it is being run as a administrator.
Open Control Panel ? Network and Internet ? Internet Options ? Security ? Local Intranet ? Sites ? Advanced. Enter
OpManager server URL, click Add.
For Firefox:
In URL box enter about:config. Click the button "I'll be careful. I promise", if warning page is displayed. In the resulting
page, search for ntlm. Double click the option network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris. Enter OpManager server URL in
the text box and click OK. (Multiple site entries can be entered separated by comma.)
Note: If there are any issues in fetching the necessary details, or if you're in a version of OpManager earlier than 124085, you
will have to configure these settings manually.
Also, enter the Computer account and password of the Domain Controller (computer account name must be less than or equal
to 15 characters). If you provide the wrong credentials, an error message will be displayed which indicates whether the account
name or the password is wrong, or if the account doesn't exist.
After version 124085, if the OpManager service runs under a user who has administrator privileges, an account will be created
with the provided account name even if it doesn't exist already.
Also, if you want to update your password, just select the 'Override existing computer account password' checkbox, and the
existing password for the computer account will be overridden with the value that you have provided in the 'Password' field.
To verify if the provided details are right, click on 'Save & Test'. If all the details are provided correctly, a success message will be
displayed on your screen. If not, a message displaying the possible errors in the parameters passed will be displayed. Rectify
those errors and then click 'Save'.
Else if you are confident with the credentials that you provided, you can directly click 'Save'.
1. Domain Name: NETBIOS name of your domain. Example: OPMANHV (How can I find it?)
2. Bind String: DNS Name of your domain. Example: opmanhv.com (How can I find it?)
3. DNS Server IP: Primary IP Address of the DNS Server. (Separated by commas if there are multiple DNS server IPs) (How can I find
it?) Page 99
4. DNS Site: Site under which the Domain Controller is listed. (How can I find it?)
5. Computer Account: Account name of the computer account created.
Example: [email protected]
(For versions of OpManager before 124085, it is mandatory to append $@domain_dns_name with the account name.)
Note that the computer account name must be less than or equal to 15 characters.
6. Password: Password of the computer account
To reset the password for an existing computer account, run the script SetComputerPass.vbs present under
OpManager_Home\conf\OpManager\application\scripts to create a new computer account.
Ensure that the password you give is compliant to the password policy for that domain. Do not use the New Computer Account
option present in AD native client which will not allow you to choose password. If you face problem running this script from
OpManager server, copy the script to the domain controller machine itself and try running it.
Note: The length of the computer account name must be less than or equal to 15 characters.
Design Limitation:
Pass-through authentication can be enabled for only one domain, preferably the domain in which OpManager server resides. If
pass-through has been configured for a domain other than the one in which OpManager server resides, ensure the other
domain will provide logged in user information to a website from different domain.
Log File:
If you face any issue with Pass-through Authentication, contact support with a ZIP file of the logs present under
OpManager_Home\logs folder.
Page 102
Monitoring Resources Using CLI
OpManager monitors the system resources using SNMP by default. But if needed, you can also add monitors based on CLI, and both
these types of monitors will work in tandem. All the Unix Servers templates have the resource monitors preconfigured. All you need
to do is to select the CLI monitors and associate them to the required devices.
Prerequisites
For monitoring the Unix servers, make sure either Telnet or SSH is enabled on them.
Note: Changes in the global setting apply only for devices that will be discovered in the future. The polling method of devices
already discovered will not be affected in any way.
2. Device-specific configuration
You can also configure this setting individually for any device. To configure it:
Go to Inventory and click on the device you want to change this setting for.
Click on the three-line menu and click 'Edit device details'. You can also click on the Edit button in the device summary.
Under 'Poll using', select the mode that you wish to use to poll that device and click 'Save'.
Page 104
Note: The device-specific value always overrides the global value provided in Settings ? Monitoring ? Monitor settings.
Example: Consider you have 50 devices added into OpManager. If you have selected IP address as the global setting, but
you've chosen DNS name for only 5 devices by changing it from the respective device snapshot pages, only these 5 devices will
be polled using DNS and the rest of the devices will be polled using IP address.
Page 105
Adding More Monitors
Following are the monitors associated by default for the different device categories:
Similarly, other categories also have few resources monitoring triggered by default. Besides the ones automatically associated, you
can monitor more parameters. Here are the steps to configure more monitors:
To add a custom monitor for a resource of a particular device type, the device template must be modified. The new monitor should
be defined in the device template so that the monitor is associated for all devices of that type. Here are the steps.
i. OID Browser
i. Instances
i. Monitor Thresholds
Go to Settings ? Monitoring ? Performance Monitors ? Add (or) Inventory ? Device Snapshot Page ? Monitors ? Performance
Monitors ? Actions ? Add monitor.
You can either enter the OID for which you want to add a monitor/ select an OID from the OID browser.
OID Browser
In the drop-down menu provided on the top-left corner of the OID browser, you can select the MIB file from which you want to select
the SNMP OID. You can find a list of default/ supported MIBs included in this drop-down.
If you do not find a suitable MIB, you can also upload a MIB provided by your vendor using the UploadMIB option.
Note: Please upload MIBs with RFC2578 MIB Standard to avoid parsing errors.
Search OID/Name: The OID browser in OpManager allows you to search the MIB for OIDs using the object identifier/name
(.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3/ sysUpTime). You can also browse and select the required OID directly from the MIB tree.
Once you have selected an OID from the MIB tree, you will be able to view the OID, its Syntax and its Description. You can now test
the OID to check if the output is desirable by clicking TestOID. This option allows you to review an OID's output, even before adding it
to the expression. Page 109
Step 4: Now, click Choose OID. This will insert the selected OID into the Choose SNMP OID field.
The Choose SNMP OID field is not limited to just containing the OID. It also provides options for the user to construct OID
expressions that perform simple mathematical operations on the output values of the OID. You can also construct expressions by
combining OIDs.
Example: (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0)/8640000
1. If more than one Multiple Instance OID is present in the expression, then it should be of the same parent node.
2. Monitor involving both Scalar and Multiple OIDs are not supported.
3. Monitor involving both String and Numeric OIDs are not supported.
3. Functional Expression
Functional Expressions allow you to set a predefined format on the display parameters of an output value.
E.g. In the case of adding an SNMP monitor to fetch the CPU temperature value, you can use a functional expression to
convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.
It also supports aggregate methods that allow you to perform operations which combine multiple values to give a single output. E.g.
AverageOfColumnValues, SumOfColumnValues, etc.
Page 110
4. Device Name
This option helps you test the OID against a device. The template will not get associated to the selected device.
5. Vendor Name
Use the drop-down menu to select a vendor to which you want to associate the template (or) Enter a new vendor name (Click New ->
Enter a new Vendor Name -> Click Add).
Graph Details
i) Scalar Objects:
1. Scalar objects with a numerical output will display a table containing the instance and the value along with a graph.
2. Scalar objects with a string output will only display the instance and the value.
Page 111
1. Tabular objects with a numerical output will display a table containing the instance and the value along with a graph.
2. Tabular objects with a string output will only display the instance and the value.
Page 112
Monitor Instances
OpManager provides the option of selecting specific instances that you want to monitor from a tabular object.
All Instances: A single SNMP monitor that monitors multiple instances will be created.
Selected Instances: You can select desired instances from the available list and add it as separate templates/ monitors. The Series
Index and Series Display OID columns are mandatory.
If you choose to select this option, it is mandatory that you provide inputs to the Series Index and the Series Display Name fields.
Page 113
Series Index: An index is used to refer to a particular instance of a tabular object. A tabular object can have one or more instances
and is identified by its index value. To identify a specific columnar variable, the index of the row has to be appended to its OID.
Series Display Name: This corresponds to the description/ name/ label that should be associated to an instance.
Page 114
Note: The Series Index and the Series Display Name drop-down menu will automatically list all the OIDs under the same parent. If
the index or description OIDs are not listed, you can type in the required OID.
Click Next.
2. Interval (Mins): This value specifies the time interval in which you want to re-run the monitor to fetch the corresponding values.
4. Data Type: Select between 'Integer' and 'Decimal' depending on the data type required.
You can check this option to set thresholds on the alerts that will be generated based on this monitor.
Select the condition [>,=, <, or !=] for attention, trouble & critical alert thresholds, and enter the value. An alert is raised if the
monitored value is greater than, equal to, not equal to, or lesser than (which ever is selected) the specified threshold value.Page 115
Rearm Value
Enter the Rearm Value. A rearm value helps determine if the condition of a monitor has returned to normal after a threshold
violation alert.
Example: Let us assume that the attention alert threshold for a memory monitor is configured as, "Raise Attention alert when the
monitored data is > 75" and the monitored memory value of that device exceeds this value, say 80. An alert will be raised.
In the next poll, if the monitored memory value is 72. Another alert will be generated, stating that the device is in a normal
condition.
Now, if in the next poll, the monitored value climbs to 80. A threshold violation alert will again be generated which becomes
troublesome to manage.
A rearm value helps avoid this hassle by confirming that a device has returned to normal, only if the monitored value matches the
rearm value.
Note: The rearm value must be lesser/ greater than the threshold value, based on monitor requirements and the configured
threshold condition.
In the Consecutive Times field, enter the value of how many consecutive times the thresholds (Attention, Trouble and Critical) can be
violated for an alert to be generated.
Note: If the custom SNMP monitor is created from the Settings page, it will be created as a template. Whereas, if the monitor is
created from the Device Snapshot page, it will automatically be associated to that device.
If you select Counter type OIDs, you can store data based on the delta value or the absolute value. By default, OpManager stores
data using the delta value. However, you can use the Store Data drop-down to select your preference.

Deleting performance monitors
1. Deleting a monitor from Device Template page:
Deleting a monitor from this page is reflected instantly and the devices that will be associated with that template in the future, but it
still remains in all the devices that have been already associated with that template. To apply the changes to all these devices, click
on 'Save and Associate' button in the Edit device template page.
2. Deleting a monitor from Performance monitors page:
Page 117
Only custom monitors created by the users can be deleted from this page.
Go to Settings ? Monitoring ? Performance monitors and switch to 'Custom monitors' section from the dropdown menu.
Scroll to the custom monitor you wish to delete, & click on the bin icon next to it.
Deleting a custom monitor from here removes it permanently from OpManager, and from any device/device template that has this
monitor configured already.
Navigate to the device you want to delete the monitor for in the Inventory page, and click on it to view the snapshot page.
Click on the 'Monitors' tab.
Click the bin icon next to any monitor to delete it.
Removing it from the device snapshot page will only de-associate that monitor from the particular device and will not affect other
devices or the device template in any way. You can also bulk delete multiple monitors by selecting them and clicking the bin icon
(Delete selected row) below the monitors list.

Device-specific Monitors
The monitoring configuration may need alteration for specific devices. Doing a bulk-configuration using the device templates, applies
the same set of configurations for the devices of the same type. In order to change the configuration for specific devices, here are
the steps:
The changes to the monitor are effected only for that device.
Page 163
Configuring thresholds for performance monitors
Configuring thresholds enable OpManager to proactively monitor the resources and the services running on the servers and network
devices, and raise alerts before they go down or reach the critical condition. OpManager offers multiple threshold levels namely:
You can configure multiple thresholds for the monitors that are associated to a single device, and even configure them from a device
template in order to apply across multiple devices.
Also, for = operator, you can provide multiple values using pipe '|' as the separator. Note that this is applicable only for thresholds
configured from Device Snapshot ? Monitors.
6. Enter the Rearm Value. Rearm is the value that determines when the monitor is reverted back to 'Normal' status.
Example: The Warning threshold condition for a memory monitor is selected as greater than [>] and the threshold value is
configured as 75. If the value of the monitor oscillates between 72, 80 and 73 for three successive polls, an alert is not raised
for the poll with value '80' but the admin might still wish to receive an alert for it.
To avoid this, you can set the Rearm value at a considerably wide interval (say 70 in this situation) to make sure the status
returns to 'Normal' only when the value goes below this threshold.
Note that if you set the thresholds' conditions using '>' criteria, then the rearm value can only be set using '<=' and vice versa.
7. In the Consecutive Times field enter the value of how many consecutive times the thresholds (Attention, Trouble and Critical) can
be violated to generate the alert.
8. Click on Save.
Configure threshold limits for multiple devices of same type using Device Template
1. Go to Settings ? Configuration ? Device Templates and select the template in which you want to configure the threshold.
2. Under Monitors column, all the monitors that are currently associated with the devices are listed. If you want add or remove
required monitors. Click on Edit Thresholds button. Edit Thresholds page opens.
3. Configure the Attention, Trouble, Critical Threshold and the Rearm Value and click on OK
4. Click on OK.
1. Go to Settings ? Performance monitors and click the 'Edit' icon next to the monitor of your choice.
2. Change the threshold values as required and click 'Save'.
3. Once it's done, click the 'Associate' button next to the monitor to associate it to the necessary devices. Page 164
Monitoring TCP Services Page 165
OpManager provides out-of-the-box support for the following services: Web, HTTPS, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, Telnet , MySQL, MS-Exchange, SMTP, POP3, WebLogic,
Finger, Echo, DNS, and NTTP. By default, during discovery, OpManager scans the devices for the services: DNS, MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SMTP, Web. You can also
select other services in the list. When they are found running on their default ports, OpManager starts monitoring the services.
By default, OpManager scans each device on the network for the services that are chosen during discovery.
Go to Settings > Monitoring > Service Monitors > Select the service and check "Scan during discovery"
OpManager allows you to change the settings for monitoring these services as per your network needs. You can configure new services that are not available
in the list. OpManager can manage services running on standard TCP ports.
Note:
The list contains the service names and the corresponding port numbers. To edit the settings of any of the available services, click on the service name.
If you do not find the service you want to manage in the list, you can add the service by clicking Add Service. (Adding a New Service).
Go to the Device Snapshot page > Monitors > Service Monitors > you will see the list of services managed in the device, if any, with their status and current
response time.
Click the service name to view the historical report on the response time and the availability chart of the service.
Configuring Alerts
By default OpManager raises an alarm if a service is down. If required you can configure OpManager to raise an alarm if the service is unavailable for an N
number of times consecutively.
Go to the Device Snapshot page > Monitors > Service Monitors > Click the edit icon against the service on which you wish to cofigure the threshold or to
modify the consecutive time.
Note: Threshold alert will be raised based on the response time of the service.

Page 168
Monitoring Windows Services
Certain applications in Windows machine run in the background as services. OpManager discovers and monitors the status of such
services using WMI monitoring. OpManager generates alarms whenever they fail.
Prerequisites
To monitor Windows services, OpManager should be installed in a Windows machine. OpManager uses WMI to monitor the Windows
services and hence you need to provide the log on details of a user with administrative privilege to connect to the device. So, make
sure you configure a WMI credential so that you can apply this to the windows devices.
To monitor a Windows service with OpManager's Windows service monitoring feature, follow the steps given below:
1. Go to the Inventory and click on the device to which you want to add a Windows Service monitor.
2. Confirm if the correct WMI credential is associated to the device. Else, configure the credential details in the device.
3. Click Monitors ? Windows Service Monitors. This option will be available only for devices being monitored using WMI.
4. Click Actions on the top-right corner and the click 'Add Monitor'.
5. Select the necessary Windows services and click on 'Add' to add those monitors to the device.
Note: The polling interval cannot be set at single monitor level. This value is same as the polling interval of the device.
Configuring Alerts
By default OpManager raises an alarm if a Windows service is down. If required you can configure OpManager to raise an alarm if
the service unavailable for a N number of times consecutively.
To add a new Windows service monitor, follow the steps given below:
Dissociate Devices
You can also associate/dissociate service monitors to devices from the Quick Configuration Wizard. Go to Settings ? Configuration ?
Quick Configuration Wizard ? Service Monitors and associate/dissociate services to devices as mentioned above.
Page 170
Monitoring Processes on Windows/Unix Servers & Desktops
OpManager provides out-of-the-box support for monitoring the availability of all the processes running on a Windows or Unix
system. Windows systems use WMI and Unix systems use CLI to monitor the processes that are running on a system. We also
support SNMP in the Server/ Desktop and Domain Controller categories.
Note: The polling interval cannot be set at single monitor level. This value is same as the polling interval of the device.
You can set resource thresholds for the Process Monitor. Once a resource (CPU/memory) utilization by a process exceeds the
configured threshold, an alert is triggered.
You can also view active processes on a device and process diagnostics against a system resource. We currently support active
processes for SNMP/WMI/CLI protocols.
Page 171
Viewing Active Processes
OpManager provides you the information on the processes that are currently running on the managed device. For this, OpManager
uses the protocol of the default credential of that device (SNMP / WMI / CLI).
To view the details, navigate to the Snapshot page of the device from the Inventory, and you can view all the processes that are
currently running on the device from the Active Processes tab.
Note:
When multiple types of credential profiles are associated, OpManager follows this priority to fetch the active processes: WMI
> CLI > SNMP
Example 1: If a device has both SNMP and WMI credentials associated to it, OpManager will first try to fetch the active
processes via WMI. If that fails, then the processes will be fetched via SNMP.
Example 2: If a device has bot SNMP and CLI credentials associated, OpManager will first try to fetch the processes via CLI
and then via SNMP.
Also, if you have enabled Custom Dials for your devices, you can view the top 10 processes of a device by clicking on the Process
Diagnostics icon on the top-right corner of the dial. From there, you can choose to end processes that are consuming a lot of
resources by simply clicking on the Kill Process (bin) icon. (Top 10 processes available only for CPU utilization and memory utilization
dials)
Adding New Process Template Page 172
Process templates helps you to select the processes that are running on a device, convert each of them into individual templates and apply all of them across
multiple devices. To add a new process template,
The selected processes are now added and available as templates under Settings ? Monitors ? Processes.
Associating Process Template to Multiple Devices Page 173
To associate a process template across multiple devices, follow the steps given below:
The log file monitoring agent installed in the end machine, monitors the log files continuously for the required string (It may even be
a regex). Once that string is printed, it immediately notifies the OpManager server, which in-turn raises an alarm based on the
polling interval specified for that file monitor.
Prerequisites:
Ensure that device in which you are about to install the agent has already been added in OpManager.
Download and install the log file monitoring agent in the device(s). You can do it in two ways:
From the OpManager UI: You can go to Settings ? Monitoring ? Agents and click on 'Download agent' to download the
file monitoring agent.
In case of multiple devices, you can remotely push the downloaded agent through your AD service, and OpManager
agent will get automatically installed on all selected devices.
You can also add a log file monitor from a particular device's snapshot page.
1. Go to the Device's Snapshot Page ? Monitors ? File Monitor ? Add New Monitor.
2. Follow the same steps as provided above to add the file monitor.
3. There is an additional option available here which allows you to test the file path to ensure that the file is available.
For example:
In the above case, the agent will ignore the search string which appeared at 10.02 AM. It starts monitoring the log file afresh from
10.03 AM based on the new monitoring interval (10 mins).
2. Once a log file monitor is added and the agent is mapped to a device, a pointer will be set at the very end of that log file.
OpManager will only monitor strings that are input after this point, and ignores all instances of the same string that were present
before the monitor was mapped to the device.
Adding File Monitoring Template Page 177
You can now track changes on critical system and user files and be notified if a specific change occurs.
E.g. If you want to get notified about an increase in a file's size, you can configure an appropriate file monitoring template with a file
size monitor and apply the same to devices in which you want the files monitored.
Using file monitoring, you can monitor the following parameters on Windows/ WMI based devices:
1. File Contains: To monitor if a word/string is being printed in a log file, you have to install OpManager's log file monitoring agent in
the end server/device where the application is running. Once you install the agent, it looks for the specified string in the said log
file. If the word/string is printed in the log file, OpManager raises an alert. If required, you can configure the agent to match the
case when searching for the word/string, and also to notify the admin if the alert is raised for a certain number of times.
Click here to know more on this type of monitor and the prerequisites to be satisfied for log file monitoring.
2. File Existence: OpManager looks for the file in the specified path and alerts based on the conditions specified. You can configure
to be notified if the file does not exist in the path specified, or be notified if the file exists, or you can choose not to monitor. Also,
you can choose the severity that you would like to assign to this alert. The notification can be triggered if the alert condition is met
for a predefined number of times. That is, OpManager alerts you if a particular file exists/ is unavailable in a path during two
consecutive polls.
3. File Size: Configure OpManager to alert you if the file size goes over, or comes below a specified size. Select the relevant threshold
for alerting. You can configure the size in terms of bytes, KB, MB, or GB, and you can also choose the severity that you would like to
assign to this alert. The alert can be triggered if the threshold is violated a specified number of times.
4. File Age: Similarly, you can configure OpManager to alert you based on the age of the file. For instance, you can be notified if a file
is over 20 days old.
5. File Modification: When a file is modified, the date on which the file is modified is updated. You can configure OpManager to
notify you whenever there is a change in the date modified. This option helps you keep track of any changes done in critical files.
Configuring alarms - available variables for alarm messages
Page 178
You can customise your alarm message generated when a provided criteria is violated, by using these alarm variables in the Alarm
Message Format field:
1. $MONITOR - Displays the name of the monitor. Can be used with all criteria types.
2. $CURRENTVALUE - Displays the latest polled value of the provided trigger criteria (File Contains/Age/Size). Can be used with all
criteria types EXCEPT File Existence and File Modification.
Note: The variable $CURRENTVALUE works differently for File Contains and File Age/Size. For File Contains criteria type the
provided search string is returned, whereas it returns the latest polled value for File Age/File Size criteria types.
3. $THRESHOLDVALUE - Displays the threshold value of the provided trigger criteria. Can be used with File Size and File Age criteria
types.
4. $UNITS - Displays the units of the trigger criteria. Can be used for File size and File Age criteria types.

The monitor is now added to the device and OpManager raises alerts based on the alert conditions provided by the user.
Page 180
Adding Folder Monitoring Template
Besides monitoring files on the systems, you can also monitor the folders.You can track changes in folders based on the folder size,
the number of files in a folder etc. Again, like file monitors, you can be notified if a specific change occurs. For instance, you might
want to be notified if the folder size increases beyond a defined limit, if some files in a folder are missing etc. Configure meaningful
templates in OpManager and apply them to devices on which you want the folders monitored. Monitor the following parameters on
folders:
1. Folder Existence: OpManager looks for the folder in the specified path and alerts based on the conditions specified. You can
configure to be notified if the folder does not exist in the path specified, or be notified if the folder exists , or you can choose not
to monitor.
2. Folder Size: Configure OpManager to alert you if the folder size goes over, or comes below a specified size. Select the relevant
threshold for alerting. You can configure the size in terms of bytes, KB, MB, or GB. Configure the rearm accordingly to reset the
alarm.
3. Folder Modification: Select Alert if modified check box to receive alerts when files/sub-folders are added/deleted/renamed in the
specified folder.
4. File Filter: By default all the files in the specified folder are monitored. Deselect All files check box and enter the file name or
extension (*.pdf,*.txt) of the files alone you want to monitor. You can enter multiple values separated by comma, but no blank
space is allowed. You can enter the filename in the following formats:
1. Severity: Choose the severity that you would like to assign to this alert.
2. Consecutive Times: Specify how many time the threshold can be violated to generate the alert
3. Alarm Message Format: Configure the alarm message. You can include the alarm variables by appending $ to the variable name.
The monitor is added to the device and OpManager alerts based on the alert conditions configured.
Page 182
Active Directory Monitoring
Active directory monitoring feature takes OpManager a step further in proactive monitoring of Windows environment. The system
resources of the Domain Controllers where the Active Directory (AD) database resides, and few critical Active Directory Services are
monitored in OpManager.
To make AD monitoring more simple and easily accessible, The Domain Controllers are classified under a separate category under
Infrastructure Views. The categorization of the device as a Domain Controller is done automatically if SNMP is enabled. The system
resources of the device and the AD services are monitored using WMI.
The snapshot page of the Domain Controller shows the dial graphs for Availability, Packet Loss and Response Time. In addition to
this, there are also provisions to monitor CPU, Disc and Memory utilization.
The other utilization data displayed in the snapshot page for the Domain Controller are:
Windows Time service : The service synchronizes the time between domain controllers, which prevents time skews from
occurring.
DNS Client Service : This service resolves and caches (Domain Name Server) DNS names.
File Replication Service : This service maintains file synchronization of file directory contents among multiple servers.
Intersite Messaging Service : This service is used for mail-based replication between sites. Active Directory includes support for
replication between sites by using SMTP over IP transport.
Kerberos Key Distribution Center Service : This service enables users to log on to the network using the Kerberos version 5
authentication protocol.
Page
Security Accounts Manager Service : This service signals other services that the Security Accounts Manager subsystem 183
is ready
to accept requests.
Server Service : This service enables the computer to connect to other computers on the network based on the SMB protocol.
Workstation Service : This service provides network connections and communications.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service : This service provides the name services for RPC clients.
Net Logon Service : This service supports pass-through authentication of account logon events for computers in a domain.
You can add more AD Monitors to be monitored by clicking the Add Monitor button.
Page 184
Exchange Server Monitoring
You can monitor critical MSExchange (2000/2003/2010/2013/2016/2019) Services and parameters using OpManager's exchange
monitoring feature. Monitoring is done using WMI. Thresholds are pre-configured for critical services. You can also modify or enable
thresholds for other services and parameters.

The Exchange parameters that are monitored can be classified under the following categories:
These monitors are associated to the device. Ensure to associate the correct WMI credential to the device. OpManager uses these
credentials to connect to the device using WMI.
Page 185
Monitoring MSSQL Parameters
MSSQL Services and Parameters can be monitored using WMI. OpManager detects the SQL servers by itself and MSSQL related
resource metrics are added automatically.
Here are the steps to manually associate the MSSQL monitors to a device :
4. From this list, select the required MSSQL Monitors and click Add to associate it to the Server.
These monitors are associated to the device. Ensure to associate the correct WMI credential to the device. OpManager uses these
credentials to connect to the device using WMI.
Monitoring Windows Event Logs Page 186
The Event Log is a Windows service that logs about program, security, and system events occurring in Windows devices. The events can be related to
some application, system or security. You can monitor these events using OpManager and configure to generate alarms when critical events are
logged. OpManager uses WMI to fetch the details of these logs and hence you need to provide the log on details of a user with administrative
privilege to connect to the Windows machine.
You can view the list of all events monitored by OpManager, Go to Settings > Monitoring > Event Log Rules
Note: The Monitoring Interval checkbox must be enabled. If disabled, all the event log monitors associated with the device will be disabled and
they will not work although they are associated to the device.
2. Click Add New Rule under any one of the categories to add a rule.
Entries to all the fields except Rule Name are optional. Event ID is a required field to identify the event but can be left empty in few exceptional
cases, such as you want to monitor all events that are of the Event Types, say, error or information. Here the filter will be based on the Event Type.
3. Enter the Event ID to be monitored. This is the unique identifier for the event logs.
4. Enter the event Source. This is the name of the software that logs the event.
5. Enter the event Category. Each event source defines its own categories such as data write error, date read error and so on and will fall under
one of these categories.
6. Type the User name to filter the event log based on the user who has logged on when the event occurred.
7. Choose the Event Types to filter the event logs based on its type. This will typically be one among Error, Warning, Information, Security audit
success and Security audit failure.
8. Description Match Text : Enter the string to be compared with the log message. This will filter the events that contains this string in the log
message.
9. Generate Alarm if event is raised : By default OpManager raises an alarm if the event occurs. However, you can configure the no. of
consecutive times the event can occur within the specified no. of seconds, to raise an alarm.
10. Choose a severity for the alarm generated in OpManager for this event.
3. Click OK to save the event log rule.
You can now associate the rules (default or custom event logs) to the required devices.
Page 188
Associating URL Monitors to Desktop, Servers and Domain Controllers
You can add URL monitors to Desktop/Servers/Domain Controllers to check the availability of local URLs.
The configured URL is monitored for availability. You can configure to receive an e-mail or SMS when the URL monitored in a device
goes down. For this, you can create a notification profile for the 'URL is down' criteria and associate it to the devices.
Page 189
Adding Syslog Rules
Syslog is a client/server protocol that sends event notification messages to the syslog receiver. These event notification messages
(usually called as syslog messages) help in identifying the authorized and unauthorized activities like installing software, accessing
files, illegal logins etc. that take place in the network. In OpManager Syslog rules helps in notifying you if some particular syslog
messages such as kernel messages, system daemons, user level messages etc. are sent by the devices.
Apart from the pre-defined syslog rules you can also add any number of syslog rules. Here are the steps to add a syslog rule:
10. Click the Advanced button to configure advanced (threshold) rules. This is optional.
1. Number of Occurrences: Enter the count of the number of consecutive times OpManager can receive syslog message from a
device before raising an alert.
2. Time Interval (seconds): Enter the time interval that should be considered for calculating the number of occurrences.
The syslog packets sent by the devices to OpManager are listed. You can also filter the syslog packets by device and port.
To enable hardware monitoring, go to Settings ? Monitoring ? Monitor Settings ? Hardware. Select 'Enable' next to the
Hardware Monitoring field and click 'Save'.
You can also enable hardware monitoring for individual devices from their Device Snapshot page by clicking on the Enable
option for Hardware Monitoring under the Summary tab.

For Juniper devices, performing a walk on the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6 gives us a list of all hardware components or
'Field-Replaceable Units' (FRUs) present in the Juniper device(s). OpManager primarily monitors Power, Temperature and
Fan speed, and these are the responses for the corresponding FRU types:
The instances that respond with these values are noted, and the suffix for the instance can be used to obtain data for that
FRU.
For example, consider an SNMP walk being performed on a Juniper device, on the FruType OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6)
and it returns the following response:
1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6.A ? 13
1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6.B ? 6
1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6.C ? 7
1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6.D ? 2
1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.15.1.6.E ? 6
Note: The values of A, B, C, D, E can be anywhere from one to four octets, i.e, they can have the value of 'z', 'z.y', 'z.y.x'
or 'z.y.x.w'.
Now we take the instances that returned 6 (or) 7 (or) 13 as the response, and we note down their instance IDs. Here, A, B, C
and E are the instances that provided the required responses. Therefore, these are the instances that OpManager should
be able to query to perform hardware monitoring on that device.
Now that we know the instance IDs, we can use them to check if we can query the required parameters from that instance.
OpManager queries the name, status and value of each instance. So, if you want to perform hardware monitoring on the
gives Juniper device, the following OIDs must respond when queried:

Monitoring CIS-enabled devices require special permissions to be provided to the network monitoring software. Please follow the
steps below to enable monitoring of CIS-hardened devices in OpManager:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="OPM_ICMP_RULE" dir=in action=allow enable=yes protocol=ICMPv4
remoteip=<OpManager_IP>
3.1 To enable WMI traffic, DCOM, WMI, callback sink and outgoing connections in Firewall.
To monitor hardened devices using WMI, a few connections/protocols have to be enabled for OpManager to be able to reach the
device, the foremost of which would be to allow OpManager's traffic (both inward and outward) through your firewall. By default,
WMI settings in Windows Firewall settings are configured to enable only WMI connections, rather than allowing other DCOM
applications too. We must add an exception in the firewall for WMI, that allows the remote device to receive remote connection
requests and asynchronous callbacks to Unsecapp.exe. To enable the necessary connections in your firewall, execute the below
commands one by one in the monitored device, depending on your requirements.
1. To establish a firewall exception for DCOM port 135, use the following command:
3. To establish a firewall exception for the sink that receives callbacks from a remote computer, use the following command:
4. To establish a firewall exception for outgoing connections to a remote computer that the local computer is communicating
with asynchronously, use the following command:
Note: These configurations are required to be performed in the User profiles of the client devices that are to be monitored.
To begin with, we are adding the DCOM user group in our local user settings.
Configuring the DCOM Security Settings to allow the groups to access the system remotely:
Next, we're providing basic access permissions to the user groups (Distributed COM Users and Performance Monitor Users) to
be able to gain control of the device remotely.
Finally, access is provided for all classes under all namespaces for both the user groups, in order to enable OpManager to fetch
those data using WMI.
3.3 Set permissions to Service Control Manager Security for Windows Service Monitoring:
If you wish to monitor whether Windows Service monitors are up/down, you need to grant permission to SCManager. The access
to the Windows services is controlled by the Security Descriptor of Service Control Manager, which by default is restricted for
hardened OS. The below mentioned steps will grant remote access to Service Control Manager in user level, to get the list of
services on a server.
Example:
Run the below command which will save the current SDDL for the SC Manager to the CurrentSDDL.txt.
sc sdshow scmanager > CurrentSDDL.txt

Apart from monitoring the Hosts, VMs & DataStores, OpManager's VMware monitoring functionalities also encompass monitoring the
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of guest OSs. Similar to that of any Windows or Linux server, OpManager monitors the applications,
Windows & TCP services, processes running on the VMs using WMI/SNMP/CLI.
VCenter's vSphere / ESX client User Name and Password: As OpManager uses native APIs to monitor the VMware servers, it
requires the username and password of the VCenter / Host server to poll the performance data. Provide the correct username
and password when discovering the Host / VCenter.
VMware Tools (optional): We recommend that you install VMware tools on the VMs. In general, VMware tools improve the
performance of the Virtual Machine. Moreover, they offer IP address of the VMs, which helps OpManager to automatically
discover them. Click here to know the procedures for installing VMware tools.
If VMware Tools are not installed, OpManager discovers it using the VM's name. You can assign the IP address manually for such
VMs in the host's snapshot page and monitor the VMs.
Page 210
Discovering VMware ESX / ESXi servers in OpManager
To discover the host and the VMs, you just need to provide the IP Address/DNS Name and the vSphere credentials of the vCenter/
Host.
Note that the vSphere user must have access to all hosts and VMs (at least Read access) in order to monitor the devices without any
issues. In case a user wants to execute actions like powering on/off VMs, please make sure that user has sufficient privileges for
those actions (providing Administrator privileges works in most situations).
Discover vCenter: Use discover vCenter with the vCenter's VMware credentials, to discover all the hosts, VMs and datastores
managed by that particular vCenter.
Discover ESX: Use discover ESX with the ESX's VMware credentials, to discover the host along with its datastore and VMs.
1. Go to Settings ? Discovery ? Credentials ? Add Credentials (or) Settings ? Discovery ? Virtualization Discovery ? Add Credential.
2. Select VMware as the Credential type and enter the vCenter/ Host's vSphere login Username and Password.
3. Enter the HTTPS (VMware web service's) port number and timeout interval for the connection between the vCenter/ Host and the
OpManager server.
4. Select the Auto VM Discovery option to automatically discover any new VMs that are henceforth created in the vCenter.
5. Click Save to add the credential.
Similarly, add the vCenter's SNMP/WMI/CLI credentials to monitor additional performance metrics such as disk partition, process
count details, etc., in vCenter servers. Select the Credential Type as WMI for Windows, CLI for Linux and SNMP for other non-Windows
OS.
Discovering vCenter/Host
Page 211
6. By default, all hosts will be added to OpManager. However, you can select the VMs that you want to discover.
7. Click Next to select the VM's SNMP/WMI/CLI credentials for in-depth monitoring. You can also select multiple credentials.
Page 212
8. You can choose the time interval in which want any changes in the vCenter environment should be automatically updated in
OpManager by choosing a value for Scan vCenter/ ESX Interval (hrs). This will automatically rediscover any changes in the vCenter
environment.
9. Also, you can choose whether to sync the display name of the virtual device (the name that will be displayed in OpManager) with
the entity name by enabling the "Sync entity name with display name" button. Once you're done, click 'Discover' to start the
discovery process.
If any of the VMs are already discovered or added, OpManager automatically maps them as virtual devices.
Configuring VM IP Address
OpManager, with the help of the installed VMware Tools, identifies the IP address of the VM and maps it to the host. If VMware Tools
are not installed, OpManager discovers it using the VM's entity name. You can assign the IP address manually for such VMs in the
host's snapshot page.
If VM's are not discovered/ mapped to its vCenter/Host because of an unassigned IP address, you can assign an IP address in the
vSphere environment. OpManager will automatically map that VM to its vCenter/Host. (or) You can manually assign an IP address to a
VM by following the simple steps below.
Click the start monitoring button in the Monitoring column for devices that are not monitored.
This will open IP Mapping. Enter the VM's IP address/ DNS name and the corresponding credentials to rediscover and map the
VM to its vCenter/Host.
You can now choose to monitor only the required VMs on a Host. If you wish to stop monitoring a VM, you can do so by clicking on
Page
the Stop monitor button of the corresponding VM under Virtual Details tab in the vCenter/Hosts snapshot page. Select the 213
relevant
icon to stop monitoring the required VMs on the host. OpManager maintains this configuration when a HA, VMotion, or rediscovery
happens.
OpManager's VMware monitoring feature shows the top hosts and VMs by resource utilization and the recent alarms raised. Click on
the host / VM / Datastore name to see its snapshot page. The Virtualization Dashboard page refreshes automatically every 5 minutes
to reflect the latest collected statistics.
Listed below are a few of the various types of top resource utilization widgets that can help you to quickly identify any over utilized
resource. These widgets give a quick glance on systems which are the top consumers of CPU, Memory, Network, Disk I/O and Disk
Space and much more.
Snapshot page of a host provides a summary of the current statistics, recent alarms, configuration details such as hardware status,
VMs inventory, resource allocation for each VM, Network Adapters, HBA list and Datastores.
In this section you can find the Host details like IP Address, Vendor of Host, CPU Cores etc. on the left side. The right side gives a quick
glance on performance data like CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Disk I/O Usage etc., collected during the last poll. These values
are collected periodically at a pre-defined interval ( in minutes ). These data help you determine the current performance of the Host.
Hardware details
You can view a host device's hardware stats such as sensor information, battery, memory , power, processor etc under the
hardware tab in the device snapshot page.
The hardware tab also shows the basic hardware and software information of the host such as manufacturer, OS version, model,
alarms etc.
Click on the VM name to see its snapshot page. The snapshot page of the VM is similar to that of any Windows or Linux Server's
snapshot page. It also displays the VMs virtual details.
Page 217
Configuring Thresholds for VMware ESX and VMs
OpManager out-of-the-box offers monitoring templates for ESX hosts and VMs. The templates help you configure thresholds for
multiple ESX hosts and VMs at one shot. For each performance metric you can configure Warning Threshold as well as Error
Threshold, and receive proactive alerts if they are violated.
3. Click on the monitor name to enable or disable the threshold, and to modify Warning Threshold, Error Threshold and Rearm
Values.
4. Click OK.
5. Click on Save to save the device template. Click on Save & Associate to save the device template and apply the changes to the
devices associated to the template. Page 218
6. Click Associate for the devices to inherit the configurations in the template. Or, click Associate & Overwrite for the devices to
remove the old and add the new configurations in the template.
Note: To edit the threshold values of a single ESX host, go its snapshot page and click the Monitors tab under Inventory Details. Click
on the Edit icon of a monitor to edit its threshold values.
Page 219
Managing VMware Alerts
OpManager fetches events from each VCenter / ESX Host, similar to SNMP traps. Currently we support important events, and this list
is updated every release. Apart from these events, OpManager also monitors threshold for critical performance indicators and raises
alerts.
To change the pre-set threshold values for each performance monitor, go to the monitors section under the snapshot page of the
host / VM / Datastore.
Table 1: List of few Threshold Monitors for critical performance indicators related to host, datastore & VM's supported by
OpManager
You can view the complete list of ESX host / VCenter Events that are supported by OpManager, under Settings -> Monitors ->
VMware Events.
Note: OpManager only triggers alarms based on VMware events, and they have to be manually cleared once the issue/notification
has been taken care of.
Page 221
Notifying VMware Alerts
Notification profiles help you to notify when any alert is raised for virtual devices. The notification can be a sound alert/ email alert/
running a script etc. You can associate any of the notification profiles that is already created for the VCenter / ESX host. To associate
a notification profile to a virtual device,
You can create a notification profile specifically for receiving alerts on events related to Virtual devices using the following steps :
Monitors effective utilization of critical resources like CPU, Memory, Network and Disk
Out-of-the-box offers 50 reports on Host and VMs
Automatically maps the migrated VMs to the corresponding Hosts
Apart from monitoring the Hosts and VMs, OpManager also monitors the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of guest OSs. Similar to
that of any Windows or Linux server, OpManager monitors the applications, Windows & TCP services, processes running on the VMs
using WMI/SNMP.
Page 223
Discovering Hyper-V Servers in OpManager
To discover the Hyper-V host and VMs, you just need to provide the IP address and WMI credentials of Hyper-V host. The VMs are
automatically discovered along with the host.
Before proceeding to discover the host and VMs, ensure that you have configured the credentials for both the host and VMs in the
credential library. To discover the host and VMs:
If any of the VMs are already discovered or added, OpManager automatically maps them as Virtual Device.
Note: If the device has been added successfully, but not displayed under the 'Virtualization' tab. Search for that device. Upon
finding the particular device, Go to its snapshot page and look for the device type. If it is mentioned as 'unknown', wrong
credentials might have been provided or it is not reachable during discovery. Provide the correct credentials and click on
'Rediscover Now' present under three-line menu at the top right corner in the snapshot page, to discover it as an Hyper-V host.
Note: To edit the threshold values of a single host, go its snapshot page and click the Monitors tab under Inventory Details. Click on
the Edit icon of a monitor to edit its threshold values.
Page 225
Managing Hyper-V Alerts
OpManager monitors Hyper-V host and VM similar to that of any Windows server. Upon clicking the monitors tab in the host
snapshot page, the monitors listed for a Windows server is listed here. You can add the required monitors and configure thresholds.
If the threshold is violated, OpManager raises an alarm.
Page 226
Notifying Hyper-V Alerts
Notification profiles help you to notify when any alert is raised for virtual devices. The notification can be a sound alert/ email alert/
running a script etc. You can associate any of the notification profiles that is already created for the Hyper-V host.
OpManager makes use of the Prism API framework to fetch performance metrics from the devices in the Nutanix environment.

OpManager monitors HP EVA based on the Command View EVA(CV EVA) version installed in the your environment.
OpManager uses SSSU (Storage System Scripting Utility) available as part of HP StorageWorks Windows Kit for Enterprise Virtual
Array installation.
This needs to be installed in the server where OpManager is installed and running Page 241
Ensure that "SSSU.exe" is included in the� PATH environment variable in the server in which OpManager is installed. (You can
check this by executing SSSU.exe in a command prompt which will print the version) .
Note: In case your current SSSU version is higher (say 5.0) , you need to download SSSU.exe (Version 4.0) and include it in the
%PATH%. For this you may follow the steps below,
After including SSSU utility in the %PATH% environment variable, restart OpManager (shutdown & start). This is required for
the Environment PATH settings to take effect.
In the OpManager browser client go to� Admin tab -->� Manage Storage Devices option.
In the "IP Address" field enter the Management_Appliance_IP_address (The IP address of the HP Management Appliance
that is managing the HP EVA array)
Choose Vendor as HP
OpManager uses the HP SMI-S EVA Provider (SNIA standard) to monitor the HP EVA (Command View EVA version 6.0.2 and above)
The HP SMI-S EVA Provider is integrated with Command View EVA.
Install the necessary software from the OEM website.
Ensure that EVA firmware version is compatible with the installed SMI-S provider
Check the SMI service say like, HP StorageWorks SMI-S CIMOM or HP StorageWorks CIM Object Manager is listed in Windows
Services of the Command View EVA Host.
Now start the service
Ensure that SMI provider is properly started and is listed in Windows Services Panel
Restart OpManager (shutdown & start). This is required for the Environment PATH settings to take effect.
In the OpManager client go to Admin Tab -->Manage Storage Devices Page 242

For Performance monitoring, evaperf utility needs to be installed in the server running OpManager.
Ensure that, the evaperf utility installed host and the CommandView EVA running host are connected via Fibre Channel.
If it prints "evapdcs is currently installed" , you may check its startup status in the Windows "Services" menu . This service is
registered with the name "HP EVA Performance Data Collector". (If the status is "disabled", it indicates that it is in an improper
state and you will need to restart the host server once and then check the above again)
In case the above command prints "evapdcs not installed" , install evapdcs via the following command evapdcs -i -m
4. The server running OpManager needs to be registered to the Command View EVA server via , "evaperf fnh [hostname]
[username] [password]"
hostname - CVE host name , username - CVE username , password - CVE password
5. OpManager uses EVA name (known as friendly name in EVA terminology ) to issue evaperf commands. For this the EVA name -
WWN mapping needs to be registered via "evaperf fn" command
6. If the EVA is password protected, the EVA password needs to be registered for the respective EVA WWN via "evaperf spw
array_WWN array_Password" command
7. You can check if evaperf is able to fetch valid data by entering the following command in the OpManager/ directory ,
evaperf all -sz <EVA Name> -csv -nots (This will automatically start evapdcs service, if it is not started already) . This should
print all the EVA performance statistics (for Array, VDisk , Disk etc).�
The sample output should look similar to the one given below : CPU %,Data %,Ctlr,Serial,Node
82,81,A,V8398ADVBP2003,5065-1FD1-5021-8781

Discovering storage devices
The topics covered under this section are:
Adding a device�
After the initial discovery, you can use 'Add Storage Device' option under Settings → Discovery� to add a new device.
�
Note: If you want to add a new credential, click the 'Add Storage Credential' button on the top right corner and provide the
necessary details.
You can test the device right away from the same window by clicking the 'Test Connection' button.
Click 'Add Device' button to add it.
1. Go to the Inventory tab, click on ‘Storage’ and then click on the device whose details you want to edit.
2. In the device snapshot page that is opened, click on the three-line menu button on the top-right corner of the screen and
select ‘Edit Device Details’.
3. Here, you can change the details of the device namely IP Address, Display name and the monitoring interval.
Note: Only Admin users can add and edit device details.
Page 268
Fault Monitoring And Escalation
�
The traps and other notifications from the devices are received by the software and are converted into events and alarms.
Depending of the criticality of the fault condition, each event and alarm is assigned a severity ranging from critical to clear. Each
severity is given a specific color for easy visual identification.
OpManager actively monitors the faulty events and reports or escalates the faults to the user, administrator, or any other person via
email or SMS.
Alarms are widely classified into two types : Device status-based alarms and threshold-based alarms.
Viewing Alarms

Alarm Operations
Escalate Unattended Alarms
Viewing alarms
You can view all the alarms in a single console under ‘Alarms’ tab. Here, the alarms related to storage can be found by clicking 'Filter
→ Storage Alarms' from the 'Sort by category' pane.
This tab displays all the alarms with their source, status, date & time, and message. It displays a maximum of 500 alarms in a page,
and you can use the navigation buttons on the bottom of the page to view the other alarms. Each column heading is a link, which
when clicked, sorts the alarms based on that column.
You can go to the alarm details page with a single click. To see the details of the device that caused an alarm, click on the source link
of the alarm. To see the details of the alarm, click the message of the alarm.
Just above the table on the top right corner there are options to acknowledge, clear, or delete alarms. To do any of these operations,
select the specific alarms, and clicking on the corresponding link.
You can even view the alarms depending on the criteria like Severity, Category or alarms generated between a specific time
period.� For this, you can just click on the relevant heading on the alarms pane, and the alarms will be sorted based on that criteria.
Page 269
If needed, you can export the same to HTML, PDF, Excel sheet and CSV formats.
Just above the table there are options to acknowledge, clear, delete, and annotate alarms.
To take ownership of the alarm, click 'Acknowledge'. You can also revert the acknowledgement by using the 'Unacknowledge'
button.
To add comments to the alarm, click 'Add note' (The plus icon).
To ping and test the concerned device manually, click 'Ping' (The sync icon).
To perform a traceroute on the device, click 'Trace Route'.
To clear the alarm, click on 'Clear' (The tick icon).
To delete the icon, click on 'Delete' (The trashcan icon).
Alarm Operations
Acknowledging Alarms :
OpManager provides an option for the users to pick and own alarms that they work on. This helps in avoiding multiple users working
on a single alarm.
Alarms can be acknowledged in two ways.
Page 270
1. In the 'Alarms' tab, select the checkbox before the specific alarm and click ‘Acknowledge’. This option is available only for Admin
users.
By doing one of the two actions above, the user becomes the owner of the particular alarm.
To unacknowledge an alarm, click ‘Unacknowledge’ in the specific alarm details page. The alarm ownership gets removed.
Annotating Alarms :
In case of a user wants to add more details on a particular alarm, he can annotate the same in the alarm. This will be useful for later
reference.
To annotate an alarm, click ‘Add note’ link in the specific alarm details page and add the content in the text-box. The annotation will
get added in the alarm notes table.
Clearing alarms :
After fixing the fault condition in the device, the particular alarm can be cleared by the user, so that its status becomes clear.
To clear an alarm, click ‘Clear’ link in the specific alarm details page. The severity of the alarm will change to clear.
Deleting alarms :
After fixing the fault condition in the device, the particular alarm can be deleted by the user, if he feels that the record need not be
maintained.
To delete an alarm, click ‘Delete’ link in the specific alarm details page. The alarm and its related events will get deleted permanently.
The rule gets added in the table in the page. You can disable the rule by clicking on the green icon inside the modify rule window.
Click the trash-can icon against the particular rule, in the escalation rules table.

Workflow Execution Logs
Workflow Logs provide the ouput of the executed workflows. It provides the result as well the data of each task that had been
included in the workflow.
Click on Workflows from the left pane and select Workflow Logs. Workflow output for each of the associated device is listed
along with the executed date & time and numnber of tasks.
Severity
Each task once executed is logged with its severity for understanding its execution status. Following are the severities in Workflow:
Checks:
Checks are if-else condition based. If the condition is passed/satisfied, the workflow executes the set of actions associated on the
success part, executes the other set of actions associated on the failure part. Example: Consider that you have created a workflow
with Test a Service, Send Mail, and Start a Service tasks. Send Mail is associated on the success part of Test a Service, and Start a
Service is associated on the part. If the service is running, workflow executes Send Mail task to notify the admin that the service is
running, else executes Start a Service task to start the service.
Actions:
An action just performs the said activity. Tasks such as start a service, delete file, reboot system are action tasks. If an action task is
executed successfully, workflow executes the next successive task. If an action task fails, action task associated on the failure part is
executed. Example: Consider that you have created a workflow with 2 action tasks� - Start Process and List All Process. List All
Process is associated to the success part of the Start Process task. When the workflow is executed, in case if the Start Process task
fails, workflow looks for the task associated on the failure section. If no task is found, the workflow executes the task in the success
section i.e., List All Process.

Triggers in Workflow
A Trigger initiates an action in a workflow based on the pre-configured criteria. There are two types of triggers
1. Alarm Trigger
2. Scheduled Trigger
Alarm Trigger
An alarm trigger performs a workflow action when an alarm is generated based on the specified criteria. This alarm will trigger a
workflow action. Eg. Let us assume that a General Trigger has been configured to perform a workflow action when a device misses 3
polls. A workflow action will be triggered, when an alarm is generated because the selected remote device missed 3 polls.
Scheduled Trigger
A scheduled trigger will perform a workflow action at the specified time irrespective of any other criteria.
Apply this profile all the time- This activates a workflow action for the selected trigger at any time.
Apply the profile for the selected time window- You can specify a time-window during which period, the workflow will be
executed based on the configured trigger. For instance, if you set the values as From 09:30 To 18:30, and select the days
from Monday through Friday, the workflow will only be activated during the specified interval i.e. Within the mentioned
timeframe.
Delayed Trigger: If you want to perform a delayed workflow action, after an alarm is triggered, enter the delay time in Trigger after
(in minutes). If you don't want to trigger a workflow action if the alarm has been acknowledged in the meantime, you can select
the 'Do not trigger if alarm is acknowledged' checkbox.
Page 316
Recurring Trigger: This option helps you re-trigger the workflow action at regular intervals, till the alarm is cleared. Enter the Trigger
interval and Restrict the number of triggers, if you want to restrict the number of times the trigger recurs.
For instance, if you set the trigger interval as 10 mins and restrict the number of triggers to 5 times, the workflow action will be
triggered every 10 mins, for 5 times or till the alarm is cleared (whichever is the earliest).
If the number of times to trigger the workflow action is not specified, then the workflow action will be re-triggered indefinitely, till the
alarm is cleared. If you do not want to trigger a workflow action in case an alarm has been acknowledged, you can select the 'Do not
trigger if alarm is acknowledged' checkbox.
Page 317
Alert Actions
You can perform the following alert actions:
Acknowledge: This option is useful for the operators to pick up the problem and work on it. When you select an alarm and click on
Acknowledge button on top the alarms list, the administrator/operator's name is populated in the technician's field.
Note: Alarms that are acknowledged can be excluded from being escalated by configuring accordingly the alarm escalation rule.
Unacknowledge: The assigned technician is removed and the alarm is back in the unassigned list.
Clear: You can click this to clear an alarm manually.
Delete: You can delete an alarm.
View History: Click on the alarm message to view the alarm details and event history.
Add Notes:You can add notes to the alarms to explain the steps you have followed to correct the fault or to give tips to the
operator who is working on the fault. In the Alarm history page, click the Add Notes option.
Execute Workflow: You can execute a workflow to troubleshoot an alarm. Click on Execute Workflow in the Alarm Details page,
and select the workflow. The workflow will be executed and the output will be added in the notes.
Test Actions: You can notify this alarm via any of the notification profiles created by you. Click on Test Actions in the Alarm
Details page, and select the desired notification profile.
View Availability: You can view the availability history of the faulty device. Click on More link in Alarm Details page and select
Availability.

Notification Profile
When a fault is detected in your network, an event occurs and multiple events correlate to trigger an alarm. You can configure
OpManager to notify the network administrator or perform automatic actions based on the alarm raised for a device using the
notification profiles.
Profile Types
The different types of notification profiles available are:
Email
Email based SMS
SMS
Run a System Command
Run a Program
Log a Ticket
Web Alarm
SysLog Profile
Trap Profile
These notification profiles can be associated to different devices for different fault criteria.
Apply this profile all the time- This notifies alerts occurring for the selected criteria at any time.
Apply the profile for the selected time window- You can specify the required time- window here. For instance, if you set the
values as From 09:30 To 18:30, and select the days from Monday through Friday, alerts triggered during the specified interval
and selected days only will be notified.
Delayed Trigger: If you want the notification profile to be triggered by a delay, enter the delay time in Trigger after (in minutes). If you
don't want to trigger the notification profile if the alarm has been acknowledged in the meantime, you can select the 'Do not trigger if
alarm is acknowledged' checkbox.
Recurring Trigger: This option helps you re-trigger the notification profile at regular intervals, till the alarm is cleared. Enter the
Trigger interval and Restrict the number of triggers to. For instance, if you set trigger interval as 10 mins and restrict the number of
triggers as 5 times, an alert will be notified every 10 mins, for 5 times or till alarm is cleared(Whichever is earliest). If the number of
triggers is set as empty, then alert will be notified for given interval, till the alarm is cleared. If you don't want to trigger the
notification profile repeatedly if the alarm has been acknowledged, you can select the 'Do not trigger if alarm is acknowledged'
checkbox.
In case you want to temporarily disable a notification profile, you can follow the simple steps listed below.
1. Go to Settings -> Notifications -> Notification Profiles. Here, you will find a list of all the notification profiles available.
2. Find the profile that you wish to disable and click on under 'Status'. This will prompt a confirmation message.
3. If you still wish to proceed, click 'OK'.
Now, you have successfully disabled a notification profile. If you wish to re-enable a notification profile, you simply enable it by
clicking on the slider again.

Escalating Alarms
The alarms of critical devices should not be left unnoticed for a long time. For instance, the mail-servers, web-servers, backup-
servers, switches, and routers are so critical that if their faults are not solved within a specified time, the networking functionality will
be brought down. You can configure OpManager to escalate such unnoticed alarms by sending an e-mail to the person concerned.
However, you have an option to exclude the alarms that are acknowledged from being escalated.
To configure a new alarm escalation rule, follow the steps given below:
If you configure a new alarm escalation rule, by default it will be enabled. To disable an alarm escalation rule click on Edit icon,
deselect the Enable this rule option and click on Ok.
Alarm escalation rule can be deleted by clicking the Delete icon in the Actions column of the particular rule.

Managing Faults in Network
�
There can various types of faults in a network. With the network health depending on various resources like the system resources,
services, network connectivity etc, getting to the root of the problem is simplified when the monitoring solution raises meaningful
alarms. OpManager helps you identify the fault quickly with its detailed alarms indicating the resource that is poorly performing in
the device . The different types of OpManager alarms include:
OpManager monitors the resources for availability and performance and triggers alarms for all the criteria mentioned above. These
alarms can also be sent as email or sms alerts from OpManager.

Ignoring traps in OpManager
Traps are cryptic messages of a fault that occurs in an SNMP device. SNMP traps are alerts generated by agents on a managed
device. These traps generate 5 types of data:
When a trap is received from a managed device, the match criteria in the parser determines whether a specific trap matches the
conditions specified in the Trap Processor. Once a matching trap is found, an alert is generated.
Configure OpManager to process the traps that are not processed out-of-the-box and convert them into alarms.
The traps that are not processed are listed under 'Unsolicited Traps'.

Adding a new VoIP monitor
Prerequisites
The source and the destination devices should always be a IP SLA responder enabled Cisco device.
OpManager performs the UDP jitter operation to proactively monitor the VoIP quality between Cisco devices. The UDP jitter operation
simulates continuous VoIP traffic to consistently monitor the voice quality scores between the source and the destination devices.
Using OpManager, you can now monitor the voice and video quality of a 'call path'. Call path is the WAN link between the router in
your main office and the one in the branch office that you want to monitor.
Step 1: Enable Add (/discover) the router in your LAN to OpManager. And make sure the SNMP read and write community are
configured properly, for that router.
Step 2: Enable SLA responder on the destination device you wish to monitor. The steps are detailed below.
1. Open a CLI session on the destination router and enable the EXEC mode as follows:
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
4. Repeat the above steps for all the destination routers on which you want to monitor VoIP performance.
1. Go to Network ? IPSLA ? VoIP monitor ? Click on Add VoIP monitor at the top right corner
2. Enter a name for the monitor.
3. Select the source router from the list of routers discovered in OpManager, and select the relevant interface.
4. Specify the destination router either by using the 'Search' option to pick from the discovered routers, or use the 'Add' option to
specify the IP address of the destination router and submit the details.
5. You will see the summary of the monitor you are about to configure. Now click 'Save' to submit the details to the device. This will
take few seconds to configure.
Page 350
1. Click on Settings. Under the Monitoring section, click on IPSLA. Click on the VoIP Call Settings tab.
2. Configure the following parameters:
Source Port - Specify the VoIP UDP port to which VoIP Monitor sends simulated traffic to generate performance metrics. The default
port number is set as 16384. You can specify a port in the range of 16384 - 32766.
Simulated VoIP Codec - The VoIP jitter codec decides the type of traffic that VoIP Monitor simulates over your network.
Operation Frequency - The operation frequency is the frequency with which QoS metrics are collected by the IP SLA agent on your
network to determine performance.
Operation Timeout - The operation timeout is time to wait for the response from the responder / destination device in msecs.
Type of service - The Type of Service octet allows you to set precedence levels for VoIP traffic of the IP SLA operations.
MOS Advantage Factor - The advantage factor is a measure, on a scale of 0 to 20, of the willingness of your VoIP network users to
trade call quality for convenience
You can define a threshold template so that the VoIP performance parameters can be better suit your company SLA's (Service Level
Agreements). Alerts are triggered based on the thresholds configured so that you can take corrective actions in time. Here are the
steps to define a threshold template:
MOS Threshold : Configure the MOS threshold by specifying the upper and lower MOS range values in the range of 1 to 5.
Jitter Threshold : Configure the jitter threshold in msecs with upper and lower threshold limits. The range is from 0 to 6000 msecs.
Latency Threshold : Specify the delay allowed in msecs again in the range of 0 to 6000.
Packet Loss : Specify the number of packets that can be lost in transit.
Notification Profile : Select the required notification profile(s) in order to notify when the any threshold rule is violated.
Page 352
Viewing Top 10 Call Paths

Configuring WAN Monitor
Prerequisites
OpManager primarily relies on Cisco's IP-SLA for monitoring the WAN and the prerequisite therefore is that the device should be a
Cisco router and must have IPSLA agent enabled on it. Almost all the routers from Cisco are enabled with IP SLA agent and
OpManager supports IOS version 12.3 and above. OpManager uses SNMP to query the Cisco routers for the links' performance data.
IPSLA familiarity is not a prerequisite. You just need to tell OpManager which links you want to monitor. OpManager provides an
intuitive configuration wizard to help you configure all the IPSLA parameters for monitoring the WAN health.
Using OpManager, you can now monitor the availability and latency of a WAN link / path. A WAN link mentioned here is the path
between the router in your main office and the one in the branch office that you wish to monitor.
Step 1 : Add (discover) the router in your LAN to OpManager. And make sure the snmp read and write community are configured
properly, for that router.
Configure the cisco router to send traps to OpManager. Alerts are shown based on the traps received in OpManager. To configure
OpManager server as the SNMP Server receiving traps for the routers, telnet the router and type the following command:
snmp-server host <opmanager server IP> traps <host community string> rtr
For instance, if the OpManager host IP Address is 192.168.18.128, and the community string is private, the command would be:
snmp-server host 192.168.18.128 traps private rtr
a. Go to Network ? IPSLA ? VoIP Monitor and click on the Add new Device option on the top right corner.
b. Enter a name for the monitor.
c. Select the source router from the list of routers discovered in OpManager and then select the relevant interface of the source
router.
d. Specify the destination IP Address either by using the 'Search' option to pick from the discovered routers, or directly enter the IP
Address and click 'Add' and submit the details.
e. You will see the summary of the monitor you are about to configure. Now click 'Apply to device' to submit the details to the device.
This will take few seconds to configure.
Refresh the page after few seconds to see the new monitor. The data is collected every hour, from the time you have configured.
Page 354
To edit any of the configuration details, go to the respective template, make the changes and save the details. When you create a new
monitor, the updated values take effect. When the configuration is complete, the router starts collecting the data at the specified
frequency i.e. 60 seconds (default value). OpManager updates this statistics (collected data) every hour and the reports are
generated after one hour of configuration.
Page 355
Configuring Test Parameters and Threshold Template for WAN Monitor
Define a template with the required WAN monitoring settings to be used for monitoring performance. The RTT template comes with
pre-populated default values. OpManager uses the configured values to simulate traffic. Incase you would like to effect some
changes to the values before initiating monitoring, make the changes as follows
Payload: The default value is 24 kb. Specify an echo payload value in the range of 0 to 16384.
Type of Service: Specify the Echo TOS in the range of 0 to 255, the default being 30.
Operation Frequency: Specify the interval in the range of 0 to 604800 msecs. The default interval is 60. The operation frequency
is the frequency with which QoS metrics are collected by the IP SLA agent on your network to determine performance.
Operation Timeout: Specify the timeout in the range of 0 to 604800000, the default being 60 msecs. Make sure that the timeout
interval is lesser than the configured operation frequency so that if the operation is not successful, that is, if there is no
response from the device, or in the event of a delay, the request is timed out and the subsequent operation is launched at the
configured frequency correctly.
You can define a threshold template so that you are alerted with the WAN monitor violates a specified value. Here are the steps to
define a threshold template:
1. Click on Settings. Click on to IPSLA under Monitoring section. Click on WAN Threshold Template tab.
2. Configure the upper and lower threshold limits for Round Trip time in msecs, the range being 0 to 60000 msecs. You can also
choose various notification profiles configured in OpManager to alert you.
Page 356
Viewing WAN Monitor Alerts
Go to Inventory ? Select IPSLA from three line menu ? Select VoIP (Select any monitor) ? Alarms (present at the end of the page) to view
the alerts raised by WAN Monitor.
All the alarms are listed with the Source name, Alarm Message, Status of the Device, Technician, Device category, date and time. Click
the alarm message to view the alarm history.
