Hello,
On my "day job" we use Orion to watch our data infrastructure, so I'm recommending IPMonitor for one of my small business clients. It's a Novell shop, so I'm trying to set up monitors specific to NetWare and GroupWise, but it seems the best I can do is to set up custom SNMP monitors, which is not only tedious, but since IPMonitor doesn't recognize the monitor as (for example) a disk space monitor, it doesn't add it to the dashboard under file system space, etc.
Is it possible to compile the NetWare and GroupWise MIBs into IPMonitor? I found this page:http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs/NETWARE-SERVER-MIB/tree.aspx which seems to indicate that it can be done, but I can't for the life of me figure out how. I'll admit, I haven't scoured the manual front to back, so "RTFM" would be a valid response :-)
Thanks,
--Greg
Hi Greg,
Most of the resource-based Monitors (CPU, Drive Space, Memory) use the Host-Resources MIB, which is likely supported by the Novell SNMP Agent. In order to test this, I recommend going through the steps found at the bottom of the following post:

Let me know what comes back.

Thanks for the reply. I found that posting, but I still can't get the disk space to show up. I can get everything but the disk, it seems. If I dig out the OID for the NetWare disk space, it gathers the information properly.
Yes, you would need to log into the support portal and visit the ipMonitor MIB builder. This is only available to licensed customers. If you run into any issues, please feel free to reach out to support.
