[IM-Talk] Wish list - back to basics
I propose that InterMapper gain a new setting on the Acknowledge option... Ack - Indefinite - without Digest Ack - Indefinite - with Digest: Hourly Daily Weekly Acks are needed to quiet the noise, but there are times they allow matters to really get ignored... no warning, no problem. This would allow me to create a email list of those with *budget authority* who would receive the ack digests. : -) _ Mike Lieberman NET WRIGHT LLC Tel: +1-307-857-4898 Fax: +1-307-857-4872 List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: intermapper-talk-...@list.dartware.com
[IM-Talk] Wish list item for IM Flows
It would be nice to be able to name types of traffic. For example, https traffic going to/from 194.192.199.252 would be labeled Skype and would appear in the top ports list as Skype instead of HTTPS. HTTPS traffic NOT Skype would appear as HTTPS. Taking it further, our internal HTTPS application servers could have their own Service Names. This way, port 443 traffic could be broken down and identified by application. This would allow us to run a single top port report such as all hosts, port 443, both directions, and see the breakdown of applications such as HR, Student Records, Skype, etc. Any chance of that happening in a future release?

[IM-Talk] Wish list
One thing I would like to see added to Intermapper is the SNMP Version within the Devices on Intermapper report. Currently the report identifies one of my probe types as SNMP - Basic OID. It would be nice to know for example, to confirm that I did not miss any changes to SNMP V2c probes to SNMP V3. The probe type could possibly be reported as SNMP1 - Basic OID, SNMP2c - Basic OID and SNMP3 - Basic OID.

[IM-Talk] wish list request (event list)
The event log is extremely useful. Generally we use SpeedSearch on Mac OS X to look at the event logs. With SpeedSearch it is easy to search by date and using regular expressions. What would be very cool is to be able to do this through the web interface. That is, provide a way to display lines from the event logs by date and with regular expression matching.

[IM-Talk] Wish list request - larger device icons
Hi, I'm currently attempting to make maps for large switches with lots of ports, and I'm having some trouble dealing with all the links and network ovals. The best solution I've found so far is to choose the wire shape for the switch, which allows an arbitrary number of ports to be linked by making the wire line longer. This works pretty well, but isn't really what I want. I'd rather have the ability to draw a rectangle of arbitrary size and have it be the device icon. Each side of the rectangle would work like the wire shape and force all links coming off of it to come out at right angles. This is the first part of the ability to draw orthogonal maps, by the way :) Thanks, Doug -- Doug Weathers Information Technology Network Administrator Cascade Healthcare Community 2500 NE Neff Road Bend, OR 97701 http://www.scmc.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desk: 541-383-6846 Cell:541-480-0919 List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[IM-Talk] Wish List Request: Map Device as a Layer-3 Switch
Hello- On device properties in InterMapper Traditional, there is a box in the upper-right hand corner that allows one to map a device as a Hub, Switch, Router, or End System. In InterMapper Console/Remote, this appears when one right-clicks on a device in Map Edit mode and selects Set Behavior. The difference between these, as I understand it, is how the device's links are mapped: in Router mode, the links correspond to IP/AppleTalk subnets; in Switch mode, the links correspond to switch ports. If it's read as a Hub or an End System, only one link shows up. In switch mode, it appears that, if nothing is connected to port 1, the device is in orange, even if the port might be unused. I can't hide port 1 without making it appear on the map that the switch is disconnected from the network. Could this be changed? Please add an option to Map Device as a Layer-3 switch. What I envision in this option is a way to present both the IP subnets present on a device and the switch ports available on a device. Right now there is some confusion as to whether a link represents an IP subnet or a switch port: on the map they both appear as ovals by default. With a Layer 3 switch, maybe the switch ports can appear as small rectangles and the subnets can appear as ovals. An example of what happens is when I monitor my HP ProCurve 5308XL Layer 3 routing switch. If I select Map device as switch, I get ovals numbered by ifIndex. If I select Map device as router, I get ports corresponding to each individual subnet. What's more, if I then select Map device as router, all the subnets revert to one oval! Does the Interfaces dialog box take care of some of this functionality? Thanks, Mark - Mark C.

Re: [IM-Talk] Wish List Request: Map Device as a Layer-3 Switch
Not sure if Cisco handles stuff differently (since I notice some vendors don't automatically show the ports with intermapper). But if I add a Cisco 3550 (a layer 3 switch (aka a router)), it has behavior as router as in, showing the subnets on each port. If I then right click, and set behavior, and show un-numbered ports, I get the port numbers. If I then go to one of the subnet bubbles, right click, Display-Label... and select Port Number (Subnet list is already there), it now shows the port number. Be sure to add a linefeed between Subnet list and Port Number. Mind you, this is kind of a pain, but is this the information you are after? To make things even more fun, you can drag a link out of one bubble and attach it to another, just in case you are dealing with vlans. Then you can use the Port List label as well. As far as the port 1 madness, its just a matter of connecting the proper uplink port to the subnet bubble, then your switch wont be orange. Heres one of my maps, before I fixed all but 5 of the uplink port problems: http://136.224.238.9/im/dorms.jpg I'm a little new to intermapper, so please excuse any mis-interpretations, or the messy map layout. - - - Jon Myers Alfred State College At 11:58 AM 6/27/2005, you wrote: Hello- On device properties in InterMapper Traditional, there is a box in the upper-right hand corner that allows one to map a device as a Hub, Switch, Router, or End System.

RE: [IM-Talk] Wish List
OK some more wish list items :) 1) Several of the InterMapper Remote users here at RIT have asked why they are prompted to Save when they have not made any changes. I am also curious about this, but assumed it had something to do with status changes of devices perhaps. Also some of the users being asked to save, do not even have edit priv's for the maps. I would think that it should only prompt for saving when edit changes are made, but for all other items (resizing maps, map position, ack message, or device status changes), you should not need to respond to a save. These should always be saved? Or have a user preference for prompting or always saving. 2) This may be a repeated request or something you already have on your list. To support an system/external authentication method such as radius, ldap... 3) Ability to log SNMP TRAPS to it's own log file. 4) You already provide the ability to rotate log files and keep x number of days, how about an option to auto-compress the log files after rotation. Perhaps also selecting the preferred compression type (because of the different platforms you support, not sure if all platforms support the same compress methods). We are about to create a cron job to compress the log files but would prefer to see the InterMapper server do it. 4) How about once you get a list of feature requests set up, maybe asking customers to respond to each feature with a number of how important the feature is. Like 0 to 10, with 0 being do not need the feature, 9 can't live with out it, 10 the users of InterMapper Remote will kill me if they don't get it :) The other nice thing about sending out a list of all the feature requests, is we can see if one of our requested missed getting on the list (perhaps we forgot to send it in).

You can do this with a notifier. Add Command Line notifier and use
something like trap-receiver.pl '${MESSAGE}' as the Command.
then put a script like the following in your Tools folder within
Intermapper Settings.
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(LOGFILE,
/usr/local/share/intermapper/InterMapper_Settings/Tools/trap-log);
print LOGFILE @ARGV[0]\n;

This will put all your Traps into a file called trap-log.

RE: [IM-Talk] Wish List
Matt,
That will not work, because we don't have all our devices on maps, but
yet everything still sends the traps to the system IM is running on.
So we need to log traps that for devices not on maps.
Currently these go into the events log. We also would like the events
log to be less messy, by not having the snmp traps in them.

[IM-Talk] Wish List
I have two minor requests that I would find handy: First, I'd like to be able to mark devices as down into SNMP custom probes. It appears right now you can only alarm and/or warn from a custom problem. The only time its down is when the device responding to SNMP has hung it up. The reason for this is we SNMP monitor devices that do health checks on even other devices. So the device we monitor reports status on the other devices that may actually be down. And when a device is down, putting it in alarm or warning state doesn't quite get the NOC's attention. I would like to be able to look at charts and have it tell me the value that it is graphing. Right now I have to take a good guess from the legend as to what the value was at that time. I don't necessarily need to do it in a graphical way, perhaps just a dump of the record values would be enough. That's all I have - thanks, Tony List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This, in my opinion, wrongly brings up the Set Linkspeed dialog, even though you're NOT allowed to change anything before setting the complete map in Edit mode! I think it would be better to do this: User clicks Set Linkspeed 'link' - If current user is allwed to Edit the map, ask the user if the map should be set in Edit mode. - - If YES - Enable Editmode, and display dialog. - - If NO - Dismiss request silently...

[IM-Talk] Wish List: Device unreachable or Down?
Hi,I would like to suggest that the 'Down' list on a devices info-window could be changed a bit.As it is right now, the list shows the device as DOWN when IM can't communicate with it.This might be right in most situations, but sometime it's just 'unreachable' from the IM point of view - especially if the device is on the internet somewhere.Now, it would be great if it was possible modify this a bit, so 'down' events where the Uptime of the device does not drop under the value it had before the device became unreachable.It could look like this:Recent Outages: 20/06 02:32:19: UNRE for 27 seconds 19/06 14:53:11: UNRE for 27 seconds 19/06 00:04:09: DOWN for 1 minute, 27 seconds 16/06 22:41:14: UNRE for 27 seconds 16/06 04:00:00: UNRE for 27 seconds 16/06 03:36:11: UNRE for 57 seconds 16/06 01:20:26: UNRE for 27 seconds 15/06 00:11:05: UNRE for 58 seconds 14/06 23:53:11: UNRE for 57 seconds 14/06 23:36:56: UNRE for 27 secondsLast updated 20 Jun, 13:04:20; interval: 30 secondsAlso, it would be cool if it was possible to log here if the service monitored was down, or the complete machine...Like:Recent Outages: 20/06 02:32:19: UNRE for 27 seconds 19/06 14:53:11: SERV for 27 seconds 19/06 00:04:09: DOWN for 1 minute, 27 secondsMakes sense?

Hi,I think this has been mentioned before, but just in case...I would love to see table/array support for probes and 'probe-lingo' (Do you even have a name for the script language in those probes? :-)The cool thing would be if you ask one OID and then can determine how much you need to query for the rest of the probe.Say we have a devices that supports 1-n clients/access points/interfaces.Lets us AP's in thisexample.Then we send the first query containing basic OID's including an OID that ask how many AP's is currently connected. ccAPCount,1.3.6.1.4.1.388.6.1.1.23.0,DEFAULT,"AP count" - 12Knowing that we won't see more than 12 AP's, there is no need to query (and display) data for all possible 30 AP's on the system.So, it would be grat if we could do something like: ${array:name, valueName1, valueName2, valueName, valueName,..., valueNameN}Ex:${array:ccAPStatus, ccRadioName,ccRadioChannel,ccRadioMUs,ccRadioOnlineStatus}And then do:SNMP-ARRAY-DEFINE-OIDs -- Like normal OID's, we define OID's that IM should query in the table.

"\B1\Offline: $ccAPStatus.ccRadioName.$i\P0\" : "n/a"}that would loop through all entries of the array and make a line for each.A probe I just made would go from 254 lines to 67 lines of code, and query thedevice more gentle.Ithink it wouldtotally rock...

Oh let's make one more wish (sort of feels like my birthday). For the export feature, it would be nice to export the notifier information attached to devices. The reason for this is we have a notifier with a 10 minute repeate for infinity that we need to make sure is on every device (since that calls a script that ends up paging people...) So I need some what to verify we have that notifier active on all devices. This gets me to a second wish - defaults... We noticed that when adding a device to a map, even though it picks up the one default notifier, it does not adopt changes like the repeat and infinity values. It would be very very nice, if we could set defaults for the repeat and count values...

Thanks! Just what I was looking for. Since user/password authentication for remote NT servers is now possible, could this be expanded to check the System/Application/Security logs for certain strings?

How about adding another time/value when using the Edit Message in the notifications. What I am looking for is a value that will indicate how long a device has been down in minutes. That way, when you have notifications that call a script every x number of minutes until the device is up or acked, the script called will know now long the device is down, and perhaps it can perform different functions based on the length of the outage (like escalations for on call pagers/text message...).

RE: [IM-Talk] Wish list (multiple services per device)
I create a Host probe for the server, then create probes for each service on the server. Then I link the service probes to the server with manual links, such that the services depend on the server.

Re: [IM-Talk] Wish List - Second invitation
1) I would like to reiterate my request for automatic layer 2 discovery. I have written a primitive Perl script that does this - can't this be added to IM? (I can send this script to you if desired.) 2) I also think it would be great if items on maps could be locked down, so they can't be moved. The layout tools tend to move things around in annoying ways. 3) Some more auto-layout tools would also be appreciated. Take a look at the spring embedder algorithm for laying out graphs. Here's a demo (warning - fun to play with): http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/algo/lehre/ss04/gd/demo.html There are in fact a whole raft of ways to automatically draw graphs. Here are some more examples from graph-drawing libraries: http://www.algorithmic-solutions.info/leda_guide/graph_algorithms/graph_draw.html http://www.tomsawyer.com/gallery/gallery.php I tend to like hierarchical schemes when laying things out by hand, but that's just because it's easier. 4) Other drawing-package features would be cool, like zoom in/out, snap to grid, group/ungroup. Just have a look at the draw module in AppleWorks to see the sorts of things I'm referring to.

RE: [IM-Talk] Wish List
Title: [IM-Talk] Wish List Hi Rich, Here is my wish list (in addition to what you already have from me on file). We just completed training of the Help Desk and Operations staff on how to use InterMapper, along with the Systems and Communications groups that will actually be maintaining the maps. FYI: We have 87 Maps with over 1900 devices, and 1891 actively being monitored for status. I maintain about 80 of those maps, and the other 7 are maintained by our systems group. The 80 maps are mostly building maps and a few backbone network equipment, the other 7 are system server maps. OK Now for the wish list --- 1) Acknowledge with out the remote Always a favorite, everyone I trained wanted to be able to acknowledge with out using the remote - I would be willing to pay extra for this feature, just so that everyone would stop dinging me on that. 2) Web page default reload Web interface, please, we need to have the option of changing the default "reload" from "never" to some other value. In our case we would like the web page reload to default to 1 minute. I sort of have a work around, for the first time someone loads the map, by book marking the URL that has the "error" page with a 1 minute reload active. But once they start navigating to other maps or pages in the InterMapper Web interface, they have to keep remembering to reset the reload to 1 minute, if they forget, they may not notice a down condition. (see next item was to why we are using the web interface to watch for active errors and outages). 3) Attention Graber when using InterMapper Remote Since the server is always at the top of the list (if you are only using one server), perhaps a large color bar just below the server that reflects the highest alarm state from any map. So if all the maps are green, the indicator bar would be green (or blue if you want to include acked state), if any of the maps had a down that was not acked, then the indicator bar cold flash red... and so on for the other states between green and red. Bottom line is they need a visual attention grabber that is always at the top of the map list, no matter how long that list is, and or a way to set up a audible repeating alarm that only operators would get. The other thing is this needs to be easy, since I have 87 maps to maintain, I need a global setting, so that I do not need to open each map to make changes. I am already tired of editing each map several times because during our design phase of the project, people changed the way they want to see things on the maps, how we are polling, and how often we poll. I will list another request for a better export import later... Problem is we have so many maps, they do not all show up on the screen at one time in the map list, so if one is red at the bottom of the list, the operator or help desk would not see it. For that reason I had trained them to also use the web interface to watch the "errors" or "outages", but that introduces another problem if the page is not reloading (because they may forget to reset the reload value). Also several of the operators desired to justuse the remote instead of having to navigate back and forth between the web and remote application. I would like them to use the remote only also, because the reflects the status change immediately with out the need for a refresh time. First, I changed the default notification from the sounds (because everyone by the operators did not want the sounds, and I did not see a way of setting up sounds for one user only), so I trained everyone to use the web interface to view the "errors" or "outages" Sorry about the length of that last comment (better to give too much information than not enough) 4) Please, a way to export and import server settings Please, please when we make changes (like adding a group or user) that requires us to change map access for each of the 87 maps,... need I say more 5) Preserving stats when restarting or going to a new version of InterMapper I have noticed that when we stop and restart the InterMapper server, such as when upgrading to a new version, that the device status windows reset or lose their history of stats and outages. Would be nice to keep these, and have an option to clear them some other way. 6) Extracting stats When InterMapper was shown to the managers, several of them asked about extracting outage data for reporting. This is being considered as a future item for us, and I am not trying to implement this with our initial role out using InterMapper, but this brings up theneed to have data that is preserved between restarts and upgrades, also the option of setting a time window sort of like that used for notifications, where outages would not be included in the stats. That way any scheduled maintenance windows would not affec

Here's my wish list from big to little: (1) Rollup old strip chart data like MRTG does, then I wouldn't have to worry about deleting old strip chart data. (2) CDP discovery of layer 2 networks. (3) Be able to turn off the auto rediscovery that happens every 6 hours, and to have the rediscovery happen when I want it to happen. I don't want my carefully crafted maps getting messed up when I am not around to tend them whenever someone adds new VLANs or modules to our routers. (4) Availability is an important number. Please consider making the Availability and Packet Loss stats for devices endure across restarts of Intermapper. (5) Remove ignore AppleTalk port information. (6) Make default for new interfaces Full-Duplex. (7) When you paste an object onto a map it should go where you last clicked, not in the center of the map.

Hi, From the top of my head... 1: CDP Discovery/Updating - Auto-connect interfaces the right way. - 'New Discovered Devices' list. Native Web? - Auto-move devices that change port/interface - Auto-add devices of type XX YY to map? Ie, if device type contain 'cisco AIR' or 'cisco WS-' then add with probe A or B - Trap/Notify event of new discoveries. - Do CDP Discovery (via SNMP) every n minuts/hours/days - Context Menu item: Check this connection [between two devices' interfaces] via CDP and report if CDP disagree. 2: Hide/enclose VLAN's on physical interfaces. - Sub-Interfacing. 3: LOCK interface connections to 'parent' interface. - To prevent auto-moving on connections if a subnet is [also] discovered on another interface. VLAN sub-interfaces should help here I think. 4: 'Joint' option on links. - It would totally rock if it was possible to add 'joints' to a link, so it could graphically run around other objects or follow a background image. Right now it's only possible via the hack I have posted on my site, and the in-between links then loose the nice ants.. not nice.. ;-) As I'm working on probes right now, a lot will spawn here as well..

Well, the CDP system does not contain .net or .com info, it contains a very basic information about any CDP-enabled neibour on an active interface. Cisco documentation has this to say: CDP messages contain specific information about the CSS, such as: Device ID (CSS base MAC address) IP address (CSS management port IP address) Ethernet port ID name CSS functional capability flag (Router, Transparent Bridge, or Switch) CSS software version CSS platform Holdtime is default set to 180 sec. so at any given time you will be able to do a 'show cdp nei' to get a list of devices the host has seen broadcasts from during the last 3 minutes. You will also see double enties for neibours that have changed name during this periode. Default CDP broadcast is done every 60 sec. Also, if cdp could only pickup active neighbors and not display all the interfaces of a switch device that are cdp capable. Or at least the ability to easily hide these interfaces. This will happen automatic, as CDP does not broadcast an interface list, it broadcasts something like 'Hi, I'm device ABC and you're connected to my interface called FastEthernet0/1. My management IP is 1.1.1.1 on VLAN 901'. It's then up to the device in the receiving end to make a list of devices it has discovered on each interface. Normally you will only see One pr. interface, unless you swapped cables during the last 180 sec. or changed name on the remote device. Add the the Wish List: Preference to Initially Hide LINK DOWN interfaces discovered. Preference to Initially Hide ADMIN DOWN interfaces discovered. Finally, if the interface info could be displayed cleanly on the map. So for discovery on A.net you could possibly see on the map: B - Gi0/1 Gi1/2 - A - Gi1/1 Gi0/1 - C | Gi1/3 | | | Gi0/1 | D This is what it should all be used for, I think. This is spot-on what CDP is ALL about - but you have to ask each device what iy 'sees' around it, and then use that info. Like, ask device A B above an you will get two lists where each contain an entry that should be like this: Device_A#show cdp nei Device IDLocal Intrfce HoldtmeCapability Platform Port ID Device_B Gig 1/2179 S I WS- C2950-2Gig 0/1 Device_B#show cdp nei Device IDLocal Intrfce HoldtmeCapability Platform Port ID Device_A Gig 0/1179 S I WS- C2950-2Gig 1/2 Matching these two lists received from each device will then tell us to inter-connect Device_A Gi1/2 with Device_B Gi0/1 Hope it makes sense.. ;-) Jakob Peterhänsel Tell me why, don't we try, not to break our hearts and make it so hard for our selfs P.S.B. 1987 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: Marook Phone: +45 22684961 smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
