Zenoos Monitoring Tool vs. Ops Manager...some help

Good Morning Guys, (Dont know if this is the right forum for this)
I am a network consulant at a firm where they are using Zenoos Monitoring software. I personally think the tool is not that great and at best it is not condusive to affective monitoring and alerting without being highly skilled in understanding the interface. In addition, the software has to be installed and configured on Linux which I am not against anything Linux however the environment is Windows based and the current skill set outside the Sr. Network Admin is not Linux admins.Can anyone let me know what you think about Zenoos and if anyone has used Op Manage Engine (which I am currently comparing Zenoos too). I would like to replace the product (Zenoos) with Ops Manage Engine but I have to build a strong case to do so.your help is appreciated..Thank you

The first part of your mcelog (the bit about " failed to prefill DIMM database from DMI data") strongly suggest one of the new RAM chips is defective. Start by simply putting the old one back in place and seeing if that helps. If it does, exchange the new faulty one with the seller for one that works. However, since you say yourself you aren't very tech savvy, it may be the case that you've simply purchased a RAM chip that is not compatible with your motherboard (although if both of the new chips are identical and the first one works, that may not be so).
When deciding to upgrade all the most vital hardware components of a machine, it's best to do it one piece at a time, and reconfigure the operating system to account for the new hardware. Uninstall old drivers, install new ones, change any personal settings related to the old hardware, reboot, make sure everything's fine and then repeat the process for every other new piece of hardware. Replacing everything at once without ensuring it will all work together increases the chances problems like this immensely---the problem itself may be very simple, but you've undertaken so many changes in such a short time that finding out what the problem is in the first place can be very complicated.

Managed Server Monitoring tools for WLS 8.1 on linux

Our organization uses a set of locally written shell scripts to monitor the status of the managed servers in a WLS 8.1 domain installed on RedHat Linux 4, update4.
The main monitoring script uses the output of the "ps" and "netstat" commands to determine the process-id, server name, and tcp ports used by each managed server.
It is able to determine the name of the managed server by parsing the value of the "-Dweblogic.Name" parameter from the command line of the java command that launches the jvm that represents the managed server.
When a managed server is started, the command line resembles the following:
java \
-DLotsofVariables \
-classpath LotsofCpElements \
-Djava.security.policy==PolicyFile \
-Dweblogic.Name=NameOfMgdServer
The maximum number of characters displayed by the "ps" command with the wide (-w) option is 4096.
A recent addition to the class path has increased the length of the command line, resulting in the "NameOfMgdServer" being truncated.
It now appears similar to the following:
java \
-DLotsofVariables \
-classpath LotsofCpElements \
-Djava.security.policy==PolicyFile \
-Dweblogic.Name=NameO
This breaks our monitoring script because it is looking for a managed server named "NameOfMgdServer", not "NameO".
Each managed server is monitored by the WLS administration server and the local node manager.
Is there a way to restructure or rewrite the command line used to launch the managed server java jvm such that the "-Dweblogic.Name=NameOfMgdServer" appears before the specification of the classpath?
I can find no mention of the "-Dweblogic.Name" parameter on the "Remote Start" tab corresponding to each managed server, so it appears that WLS is building the java command line internally based on the contents of the config.xml file, before launching the managed server process.
I've considered adding an additional parameter to the java command line preceding the specification of the classpath, simply to identify the identity of the managed server, but I don't like this type of hack.
Perhaps someone else has developed a similar monitoring tool, and could provide some advice?
Any feedback is appreciated

Lab Manager 3 reports - SQL Queries - looking for some help

Hi Everyone
Our management has asked for metrics on the use of Lab Manager so I started looking around and noticed that none of the 3rd party tools support Lab Manager. I started to poke around the SQL database and managed to extract some info however my SQL knowledge is very limited. I am wondering if anyone out there has written their own queries or can help me sort some things out.
I thought I would start a community thread as i'm sure I am not the only one out there looking to do this.
This first query gives you the usernames and deploys in order
SELECT *
FROM Jobs
WHERE (starttime > '02/01/2007') AND (object NOT LIKE 'VirtualRouter%') AND (operation LIKE 'JOB_Deploy') AND (object_type_full = 'Virtual Machine') and (status <> 3)
This query gives you the daily deployments per organization
SELECT convert(char(10), starttime, 101) as MonthYear, count(operation) as Deployments, bucket_name AS Organization
FROM Jobs
WHERE (operation LIKE 'JOB_Deploy')AND starttime BETWEEN '12/01/2006' AND '12/01/2009' AND (status <>3)
GROUP BY convert(char(10), starttime, 101),bucket_name
ORDER BY MonthYear
This last query shows total deployments listed by username (someone helped me with this)
SELECT U.username, COUNT(J.job_id) AS Deploys
FROM Jobs J INNER JOIN
Usr U ON J.user_id = U.user_id
WHERE (J.object_type_full = 'Virtual Machine') AND (J.operation = 'JOB_Deploy') AND (starttime BETWEEN '12/01/2006' AND '12/01/2009')
GROUP BY U.username
I would like to know how to get some of the following:
Top 10 Users (Query 3 lists the total deployments per user but i don't know how to have it display this)
number of images created monthly (VM Templates / Workspace Configurations)
number of images captured to the library monthly
Biggest VMs
Number of logins daily (to Lab Manager)
Top 10 images checked out
Images not used in x days
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unix Application monitor tool : Help needed

Hi All,
I am planning to develop an Application monitor tool for internal use.
In a Nutshell this tool will monitor set of services (user applications), which or running on HP UNIX box from a windows terminal. Just to know whether they are running OK or not (red green amber!). In other words executing small command on unix and sending the result back to client.
I am wondering is there any open source tools for this type purpose from which I can take some help.
Thanks in advance

A few simple Google searches will probably pull up what you are looking for on HP Unix. For starters

I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling. I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working. I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem.
My network consists of 4 base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords. I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn. The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up. Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address. When the AEBS is set to bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding.
I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS. I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS. In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding. However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope. What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have. I've hit the wall with what I know.
Thanks.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Need some help from the management : A deeply dissatisfied customer

Hi,
I hope I am one of the very dissatisfied customers of you company. I bought a new T715 and it has already gone for a repair twice. I gave it for repair for the first time in october (ETA was 20 days and told by the service centre) and I got the phone after some 30days only after an intervention of a manager. Prior to that the customer care was saying that they do not have the parts and they have no idea about how much time the repair is gonna take. Surprisingly it took only 2day once the manager intervened.
When I was submitting the phone on jan 14th 2011(work order number SE311MM110015), they again said that I'll get my phone back in 20 days. This time I expected that the service center guys will learn some thing from the past incidents and provide me a better service. But this time it was even worse. I did not hear from them for 35 days. So I called the customer care and had a long conversation with them on the service that is being provided but no-one including the floor supervisor(nishant) had a clue about what happening with my phone. I was startled by thier reply that they will start working on it as I have registered the complaint. Then I asked them what were they doing till now for which they had no idea. I asked for an escalation of this case to a manager which they refused. They said that I'll get an update after 48 working hours(5days).
The episode continues. I called the help desk after 5days. Now their reply is that I will get my phone back on march 10 2011. So, it is some 57 days since the day i submitted the phone which is 3 times the ETA they promosed. Now when I ask them why is it taking so long I get the same reply as I got for the first time that they do not have parts. The I told them I cannot accept this kind of service from a company like sony erricsson for the second time. For this the floor supervisor harish said that If I want my phone back earlier they'll return the piece back to me without repairing and they are not responsible for this. This time I again asked for a managerial escalation which they again refused and asked me to call after 2 days. Can I atleast hope for a positive reply this time??
I am perfectly okay with one device out of a lakh being defective. I understand this is the reason that you provide the customers a warranty. But I have some issues with the support which you are providing:
1) Managerial escalations : I think I am entitled to talk to some one who can actually solve my issue when the lower level doesn't solve it in time. I do not understand why I am being denied the escalation which I did not find in any other support. They do not even provide me an email ID of a manager.
2) Support process : What is the use of those processes in place where the people I am talking have no idea of what the next step should be. They do not have the database or knowledge of the previous cases. Even the floor supervisor have no aswers to the legitamate questions that the customer poses, they talk as if they are not responsible for these issues.
3) Time taken: Taking some days to provide the customer a mere update is not how a 21st century support should work.
I hope you people agree with my ideas. And please I request all the managers who stumble upon this thread to reply and guide me about my next action.
Thanks and Regards

@management : Please help me... I did not get my phone back yet... this time they were saying that they will investigate into this case and this process can take 10 more days... When I asked for a manager escalation they dropped the call... And surprisingly they started dropping my calls which is not at all acceptable...
Please managers... I need to talk to you... I need my phone back repaired....
@others... Please lemme know a contact of a person in managerial cadre if you are ware of one...

SCOM 2007 R2 Root Management server showing Not Monitored State in Ops Mgr Console

Hello Experts,
In my Prod SCOM 2007 R2 environment RMS server state is "Not Monitored", But we are receiving alerts with limitation. By mistakenly I put Maintenance Mode while rebooting RMS server due to slow performance of the server.
Can anybody help me to revert back to the RMS Health state ?

We can identify the Performance Signature Data Collection Rules in this example by executing the following SQL Query. This query should be executed in SQL Management Studio against the Operations Manager database.
-- Return all Performance Signature Collection Rules
Use OperationsManager
select
managementpack.mpname,
rules.rulename
from performancesignature with (nolock)
inner join rules with (nolock)
on rules.ruleid = performancesignature.learningruleid
inner join managementpack with(nolock)
on rules.managementpackid = managementpack.managementpackid
group by managementpack.mpname, rules.rulename
order by managementpack.mpname, rules.rulename
This query will return all Performance Signature Collection Rules and their respective Management Pack name. A column is returned for Management Pack name and Rule name.
The following Performance Monitor Counters on a Management Server will provide information concerning Database and Data Warehouse write action insertion batch size and time. If the batch size is growing larger, for example the default batch size is 5000 items,
this indicates either the Management Server is slow inserting the data to the Database or Data Warehouse, or is receiving a burst of Data Items from the Agents or Gateway Servers.
· OpsMgr DB Write Action Modules(*)\Avg. Batch Size
· OpsMgr DB Write Action Modules(*)\Avg. Processing Time
· OpsMgr DW Writer Module(*)\Avg. Batch Processing Time, ms
· OpsMgr DW Writer Module(*)\Avg. Batch Size
From the Database and Data Warehouse write action account Average Processing Time counter, we can understand how long it takes on average to write a batch of data to the Database and Data Warehouse. Depending upon the amount of time it takes to write a batch
of data to the Database, this may present an opportunity for tuning.

AVR TOOL CHAIN packages almost ready, need some help

Hello
I've made packages for AVR programming: the following
binutils-2.17 -> avr-binutils
gcc-4.1.1 -> avr-gcc
avr-libc-1.4.4 -> avr-libc
avrdude-5.1 -> avrdude
uisp-20050207 -> uisp
whith prefix (installed) at /opt/avr
I would like some help with the following:
[1]
In both `avr-binutils' and `avr-gcc' exists a file with the same name, this is libiberty.a.
if I execute
pacman -A avr-binutils-2.17-1.pkg.tar.gz
and
pacman -A avr-gcc-4.1.1.pkg.tar.gz
i get an error from pacman about the existence of the libiberty.a on the filesystem.
If i force the installation of avr-gcc everything works ok (i mean there is no problem with the installed software, it should work that way if you install it with the ../configure && make && make install way).
what should I do with that? I can't upload conflicting packages.
[2]
PATH and MANPATH must be updated to new ones after installation of packages, how can i do that?
[3] If i leave commented the line
# NOSTRIP="1"
in the /etc/makepkg.conf, the gcc compiles with warnings , which actually are errors for the final installed software. Actually the avr compiler executable is `avr-gcc' and
If I permit makepkg to strip the executables produced, there is a problem.
If I uncomment NOSTRIP but execute later through a `install' script (the usual pre_install , post_install) the strip command everything works fine.
The strip issue is because the binutils and gcc packages are configured with --target=avr (output are executables for avr programming).
Should I do something with that or leave it that way with manual stripping?
my stripping is:
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
find /opt/avr -type d -name bin -exec find {} -type f ; | xargs strip > /dev/null 2>&1
Any ideas why that is happening?
PS. I deleted the --march=i686 from /etc/makepkg.conf , because the packages are configured with --target=avr

[1] Delete the conflicting file from avr-gcc. The dependency relationship with avr-binutils will ensure that the file is in place.
[2] This is done with a script in /etc/profile.d. Have a look at the mozille, gnome, kde, or other current examples to see how it works.
