Application

Hi -
We recently added 2 VMware servers for OS monitoring by Longitude. I noticed that reports are only selecting the VMWare environment that was defined to Longitude for reports in the WEB 2.0 interface. I can select either VMWare environment for Application reports under the Advanced interface. Both computers are generating VMware events. Reports for Window and UNIX OS applications select all the defined computers then allow drill down capabilities.
Am I missing something?

Thanks

Has anyone configured VMWARE VCenter servers to send SNMP Traps to Longitude -

The VMWare instructions are as follows:

Configure SNMP Settings
You can configure up to four receivers to receive SNMP traps from vCenter Server. For each receiver, specify a host name, port, and community.
Prerequisites
To configure SNMP settings, the vSphere Client must be connected to a vCenter Server system.
Required privilege: Global.Settings
Procedure
1 If necessary, select Administration > vCenter Server Settings to display the vCenter Server Settings dialog box.

When trying to configure an Event for Unix Network there are only four options available:
• HighNetworkInputErrors
• HighNetworkInputPackets
• HighNetworkOutputErrors
• NetworkCollisions

The HighNetworkOutputPackets is missing. To correct this issue follow the steps below:

1. Download the index-all.js file
2. Navigate to \Longitude\tomcat\webapps\webui\web2.0\javascripts and rename the current index-all.js file to index-all.old and save the new file to this location

When trying to create an action for a Unix Filesystem event with a time restriction in the Web 2.0 interface, an error message stating “Error retrieving action:”appears. To correct this issue follow the steps listed below:

1. Download the firenze-web2.jar file
2. Stop the webui service.
3. Navigate to \Longitude\tomcat\webapps\webui\WEB-INF\lib and rename the current firenze-web2.jar file to firenze-web2.old and save the new file to this location

If you try to create a SLA and add a computer for a Transaction other than Ping it does not give you the list of computers to select:

Please follow the steps below, this will then give you the option to select the appropiate computers and instances.

1. Download the index-all.js file
2. Go to Longitude\tomcat\webapps\webui\web2.0\javascripts and rename the existing file to index-all.js to index-all.orig and save the new file to this location
   

If I am viewing a detailed report for SQL2008, such as the Buffer Cache Detail for SERVERXYZ and on the left hand bar click on another server and then click run, it switches to that server. However, if that server has a named instance, that named instance is not carried over to the report parameters and I receive a "There is no data currently available for some of your charts or tables." In the header, I see the instance is still default.

Well,

we have it up and running. But how get I useful info from this (please see attached file)? Guess I have to use SNMP studio (great video, Susan!), but where can I find it? No link on the Desktop, no link in Longitude... and I've found it.

Unfortunately SNMP studio can't make a connection to the longitude DB, which ist located on the very same server and a test connection to the SNMP device failed:
