on 10/15/2009 12:13:14 PM I have installed this MP i have created the registy.. all worked ok. I wanted to add new servers to be monitored... nothing happens.. no new servers.. appear...?? what do I do wrong?

on 10/16/2009 3:45:28 AM Am I assuming correctly that you have changed the registry keys on already discovered watcher nodes? If so the updates should start appearing in OpsMgr within some hours. The discovery process is deliberatly set to use resources very moderatly. So most of the time it helps being patient. Should you have added the key on new watcher nodes, just remember to enable proxying for them. Otherwise no objects will be discovered.

on 10/22/2009 5:52:49 PM Hi- I've installed the MP, modified the registry and installed it on some different nodes. I verified that the agents are set to act as a proxy, but nothing is coming through the console (in the Multi-Host Ping 3.0 group, everything is blank) Is there a step I may be missing? Its been active for approx 2 hours. We are running R2 on Windows 2003/32bit. Thanks for this!!

on 10/31/2009 4:44:24 PM Hello, We are currently using the Ping management pack from Opslogix shown here http://www.opslogix.com/#ping. Does anyone know how the Opslogix management pack compares to the Mulit-Host Ping MP 3.0? Thanks

on 11/2/2009 12:46:30 AM Different modules underneath. Multi-host Ping MP uses a native WMI module that does not use scripts, so Multi-host Ping MP scales really well. They are using something different, but have a GUI setup wizard where we use a registry key on the watcher nodes. Multi-host Ping has quite a lot of performance views and reports as well.

on 2/9/2010 8:41:53 PM I have added the management pack and following through the document have been able to get the product working for about 90 hosts. That said I think I am coming two limitations in the current management pack:



Number of hosts that can be added via registry seems to be around Ninety Five (95) because of registry characters for hostnames that can be added. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Are other users able to add more hosts? Is there a way to point to a file containing hostnames instead?



Also as we add more hosts if the ping to each host is sequential then depending on number of pings and RTT, one may hit limitation of never completing ping to all hosts say every two to three minutes and new ping sequence begins. Does that make sense?



Thanks for help/feeback in advance.

on 3/9/2010 1:57:47 AM Hi Everyone,



First, i'd like to thank you guys for creating this MP :).



My question is, can i configure to have all the monitored IPs into a Group? How? I tried to create a group for these monitors but it seems that it cant be considered (as this is an IP and not device). I want to consolidate all monitored IPs into a single group then assign a specific email subscription for this so that other recipients will not be disturbed incase an IP of such will go down.



Is this possible to do?



Thanks,

Pabs
