Network Device Discovery and Monitoring through Proxy Agent

Hi,
In our SCOM 2012 SP1 environment, I want to monitor an InfiniBand switch that is only connected to a physical server with a SCOM agent and a SQL PDW appliance, but not to the VLAN which the SCOM gateway server is on.
According to SCOM documentation, it seems that if a SCOM mgmt or gateway server cannot connect directly to the switch using ICMP or SNMP-related ports, then it cannot be discovered and ultimately monitored. Is this correct? Or can the discovery
occur "through" the physical server that has a SCOM agent installed with proxy enabled, which reports to the gateway server?
I guess I don't fully appreciate the purpose of allowing monitoring of network devices through proxy if the discovery cannot also be performed through proxy, if this is indeed the case.
Much thanks for any help!

Hi,
you can create new rules/monitors targeted that specific server which check necessary params of your network device.

My Firewall is not letting me change permissions, and documents with .501 and .503 extensions are getting created related to Device Discovery and Image Capture!

I have good reason to believe my system has been compromised. Just a few minutes ago I went into the "System & Security" from the "Preferences" and I just happened to click on my firewall settings and in the window in which users can "allow" or "block" certain actions I saw a permission for screen sharing green and allowed, [shown in the picture below] and I tried many times to click on it and press the minus sign or change the permission from green to yellow or red and simply block it, but it appears to be frozen or locked and I cannot even select it. I'm on the administrator account so it's not a matter of user account. Clicking on it doesn't do anything. Having said that I can check and select the "Stealth Mode" and "Block All incoming Connections"... but why am I not able to select that Screen Sharing and what is it? [Image below]
I also spotted 2 strange looking docs created in my Library/Caches folder, file name: com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501 and com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.503 [Image below]
In Finder, on the sidebar, next to the "Computer" icon under the devices, the title "Computer" itself has disappeared, and it's basicly blank and empty in front of the "Computer" Icon, it works and takes me to "Macintosh HD" when I click on it, but the writings have disappeared... [Image below]
Would anyone please tell me what this is all about? I'd really appreciate your help. Mac OS X 10.7.5 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

How to remove network devices through powershell? (scom 2012)

Hi
Could anyone says how to delete network device in SCOM 2012 through powershell?
In 2007 we have Get-RemotelyManagedDevice.
I have a big number network device in monitoring and now need delete some of them with specific filter, all switches.
How to do it?
Thanks
Alex

The devices were discovered by an old Management Server that was reinstalled.
I finally got those devices out of my SCOM environment using this SQL query (just replace networkdevicename):
UPDATE
BaseManagedEntity
SET
isdeleted=1
from
BaseManagedEntity where
BaseManagedEntityId in
(select
BaseManagedEntityId from
BaseManagedEntity where
displayname like
'%networkdevicename%')

Adding Pix device public interface through Proxy server into CSM Fails

Hi
I am trying to add a device into CSM. The device is only reachable through proxy server. If i try to add the device, the connectivity test fails" unable to communicate with device". If i debug on the PIX i see no connection attemps. If imake a https connection from the Explorer from the windows server running CSM i get connected. I have set the proxy settings under Server Administration. I can update packages from CCO through the proxy. Is there somewhere else to tell CSM to run through proxy ?

Hello,
maybe your problem has to do something with loading SLPDA.NLM. If you
cannot get to open Autoexec.ncf then go back to DOS-Mode, rename this
file in C:\nwserver-directory and start again. i have seenthis behaviour
on servers loading SLPDA with no network-communication and they stop
loading at WPSD.NLM. Try to load SLPD.NLM manually when the server is
up. After that shift the line in Autoexec.ncf where you want to load
Slpda.NLM to the end of the file and boot the server again to see what
happens.
Good luck

What is the best product for network mapping and monitoring? I am an inexperienced user). Mac 10.9.2 laptop

I have lots of questions, but the gist is that I want to know the best product, preferably from the app store, that I can use for network mapping mapping and monitoring.
I want to get their mac address or other police trackable etc info so I can use my computer safely.
I am also being cyberbullied.
I try just using ethernet but still get intruded on, for instance, messages that "other devices are using my ip address". The only other device I own is an iPod that I keep sahut off plus wifi turned off then.
(NOTE: You can skip the rest of this message if you want. It regards hacking attempts etc, a little out of the scope of discussion, perhaps).
Also a home intrusion where computer was thoroughly hacked with router(s) set up "very very close to me," according to Apple.
Also, hackers get into my Facebook and gmail and yahoo mail, really, no matter what I try to do on my computer and how many times I change passwords it does no good.
Also, The ip addresses for google and the one in syste preferences and the one looking up my ip address on ip chicken always gets three different results.
More worrisome it that hackers got into my Wells Fargo account a week after the intrusion even though I changed all account #'s and pw plus notified bank. They also broke into paypal using my new account numbers.
Also, stuff like Facetime pops up on my computer without my clicking on it even though I'm using ethernet to connect. I've given up on Time Capsule because I'm told that's how the hackers hacked my computer so thoroughly duriung the intrusion.
Thanks.

SCOM Monitoring Multiple interface of a same network device

hi
I have deployed SCOM 2012 R2. I have discovered around 200 network device by using device's loopback IP adress with SNMP v3.
100 dvices are in the branch offices those are connected with 3 links in three interfaces respectively. Even if two link is down, i can see that my network device is healthy since network device is discovered with the loopback address. How can i configure
my network monitoring so that even if one link goes down i can see some kind of warning or error in the particular network device in my monitoring pane. Please say if my infrastructure is unclear.

Hi,
You can create built-in network ICMP only network monitoring for the three interfaces respectively.

LMS 3.1 Device Discovery

Hi, Having had a fully operational version of Ciscoworks on a very old server we were advised to move it to a virtual server, with a new IP address. Unfortunately since then the device discovery is not collecting data on all devices on our network, and showing them as unreachable. Even though I have replaced the IP address in the configs on the network switches.
The odd thing is that it is finding 6 devices but not all of them. Just wondered if this is something anyone out there has seen before that may be able to shed some light for me.
Thanks
Jo

Hi,
Kindly make sure all the device are snmp reachable with the new IP from the CiscoWorks Server. However more information will be found by enabling the debugging for Device Discovery and then try to run the Device Discovery again.
To enable the debug for Device Discovery , kindly to Common Services > Device & Credentials > Device Discovery > Discovery Logging Configuration > select the modules you are using for device discovery along with Data Collector, Discovery DeviceInfo , Discovery Framework, Discovery util and run the device discovery again and then send the ngdiscovery.log from CSCOpx\log location.
Also kindly make sure you have make the required changes on the Schedule discovery settings as well since Schedule discovery have its own settings for Device Discovery as compared with Ad hoc Discovery settings.
Here is the good doc link created by Sir Joseph Clarke to understand the Device Discovery and for troubleshooting purposes.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9005
Note :- ngdiscovery.log contain information about the IP address of your device in the network.
Thanks,

Same network device gets discovered multiple times in scom

Hi All,
In SCOM 2012 , Same network device gets discovered multiple times.
For example, if we have an ip address 10.91.180.43 added to Network discovery rule.
When Discovery is run few times.
its gets discovered multiple times and shows 3 or 4 times under Network Devices.
Please help me to fix this issue.
Thank you
Siva

Hi dktoa,
Thank you for the quick reply. i would like to explain my issue in clear.
For example, if we have an ip address 10.91.180.43 added to Network discovery rule.
When Discovery is run few times. its gets discovered multiple times and shows 3 or 4 times under Network Devices. And it gets listed multiple times with same ipaddress not with different ip.
it will look like this
10.91.180.43
10.91.180.43
10.91.180.43
---- I read both articles, they are were interesting.
Do you mean to say that my issue will get fixed , if i change the AccessAddressFormat = "AUTOADDRESS" as
AccessAddressFormat = "LOOPBACKADDRESS"
Please guide me if i am wrong.
Thank you once again.
Regards
Siva

LMS 3.1 Device Discovery issue

Hello,
I have been getting myself familiar with LMS, but can't figure out why I am having issues seeing some devices. I can't find any solution to my problem on other posts.
I have a server farm connected to my core switch, both can see each other via CDP, and the SF can ping the LMS server. However, I have 'device unreachable' on device discovery and CiscoView. SNMP community strings are the same on each device, and are configured on LMS.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
LMS tries to contact each device directly via SNMP. If it can talk directly to the device, the device is added into DCR as Reachable. If it cannot talk directly to the device, the device is deemed as Unreachable and it is not added into DCR to be managed by LMS.
If LMS is unable to communicate it could be due to any number of things including timeout, incorrect community string, snmp-server view, firewall or access list.
A definitive way to determine the issue would be to perform a packet capture during discovery to see the SNMP transaction between LMS and an 'unreachable' device.
You can also try increasing the timeout value.
Thanks.

Intermitent connection to network devices

Hi, until recently I had been having no problems connecting to other devices on my network from my iMac, I have a couple of windows PCs with shared folders, a NAS and one of the windows PCs also runs a VNC server. All of these were working fine until I went away for the weekend, I don't know if my girlfriend has accidentally changed any of the network settings but when I came back the iMac was connecting to the wrong wireless network (a nearby unsecured network), I tried to get it to connect to my own network which uses WPA but I kept getting "invalid password" or "connection timeout" messages even after double checking the password. I gave up and decided to leave it till the morning but when I tried to connect again the next day it just worked however now I am getting intermittent connections to my local network devices. The connection to the router and the internet is constant but the are frequent periods of several minutes where I cannot access network shares or the VNC server. All the windows PCs on my network are constantly able to access these shares and the VNC server. What could have changed on the iMac to cause this?

I just attempted to measure the period that the network devices are available/not available for by pinging one of the network devices continuously and it seems that the devices are available for exactly 10min then not available for exactly 10min which seems very unusual. any ideas?

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

How do I install Agents on systems after I did the discovery and said agentless?

I did a discovery and set everything to agentless. pretty much all this seems to tell me is if the comptuer is online or offline when I go into monitoring? (I haven't added any mangement packs yet)
how do I now change a system to having an agent installed?
Thanks!

Hi,
To change an agentless-managed computer to an agent-managed computer, do the following:
Delete the agentless-managed computer from the management group by right-clicking the computer in
Agentless Managed in the Administration workspace and then clicking
Delete.
Deploy the agent to the computer. For more information, see
Managing Discovery and Agents.

Monitoring and playback through Built-in Output

I've always used Nuendo on a separate PC for all my recording, editing, mixing tasks etc. but I wanted to migrate it all to MAC and Logic Pro.
If been fiddling around for a couple of days now and I have some problems setting up. I use a MOTU 8pre as an input-device connected through firewire to my MacBook Pro. I've been able to successfully record tracks but somehow I can't listen the recordings back. Which I want to do by using my MacBook Pro's Built-in Output (speakers or headphones plugged into the thing).
In my Audio MIDI Setup my default input is the MOTU 8pre and for my default- and system Output are both selected the Built-in Output. In Logic Pro I've made sure the Software monitoring box is checked and the mixer shows activity both in the Input 1 and Output 1-2 sections, but no sound out of my laptop.
It's probably something simple (or just plain stupid hehe) but I don't know where to look anymore. Anyone?

If you are on LP8 (which I assume) you have to set up an *Aggregate Device*, as LP8 can use only one device *at a time*. You have to make one virtual device of your two real devices (MOTU and Built-in). Here is how to do that:

Create TCP port monitor to ping windows server or network device

Dears
I'm trying to create TCP port monitor which tests the ping of a remote network device or windows computer from the watcher node, but I don't know which port to use, is there a specific port number?
Thanks
Mohammad, IT NOC Team

I also would like to share the following article with you. It is a sample script that will use netstat –an to check the TCP ports currently in a listening state on the local system
and parse the output to determine that the defined TCP port is in a listening state.
