New Post: Several counters on the same graph

Andreone — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 22:36:24 GMT

It would be cool if we could configure several counters to be drawn on the same graph (trace graph).

For example, CPU and memory usage (not original I know, but this must be the most used counters ever).

This would allow to have more monitors on the same screen.

Anyway, cool tool. I hope you'll continue to improve it and continue to add more features.

Bye

New Post: How to load dashboards

When I load a dashboard, I need to open the PolyMonRT application first, then open the dashboard.

Is there a way to open a dashboard with the application?

New Post: Alerts via TAP messaging?

codell — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:42:13 GMT

Hello - I'd like to replace our nagios system monitor with PolyMon but it appears to lack one feature I need- the ability to send alerts via TAP messaging. Emailed alerts are fine and dandy unless it's your router or WAN link that has failed; we have our nagios box hooked up to a modem and configured to send text messages to our cell phones in the event of failure. Is there any way to replicate this functionality with PolyMon? Thanks!

New Post: Access PolyMonRT monitor settings from powershell

mam4983 — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:16:20 GMT

So I know I can set the monitor value using $PolyMonRt.counter, but is it possible to access some properties of the monitor to use in the script?

Like maybe accessing the threshold from $PolyMonRT.threshold1?

New Post: PerfMon Counter

Actually this is working as designed. The cylinder gauge will only report percentages.
Poor design I know, but I will fix this in a future release to accommodate data transformation prior to reporting back on a visual display (such as scaling and translating values), but this is how the cylinder gauge behaves for now.

For now, you should simply set the maximum value for the gauge as your total drive space (in Megabytes) in the properties dialog. The counter display will show the actual free megabytes and the gauge display will show this as a % of free space.
Hope this helps.
Thx,
Fred.

New Post: Perfmon Category Error

A number in the host name should not be a problem - many of my servers have such appended numerics and seem to work fine.
I'm just not sure what the issue could be. Have you made sure that the credentials you are using for PolyMonRT has admin access to the server you are trying to monitor? Usually an Access Denied error is reported but this could be related.

I was indeed able to duplicate the problem. This is definitely a bug in PolyMonRT and I will create an Issue Tracker item for this.
Thanks for finding this and my apologies.
Thx,

New Post: PerfMon Counter

swirvin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:09:02 GMT

Hi,
I added a "Cylinder Gauge" monitor for:
Monitor Type: PerfMon
Category: LogicalDisk
Counter: Free Megabytes
Instance: C:

After starting the monitor the number in the bottom left of the gauge is correct but the % next to the cylinder reads 100%.
Shouldn't this be reading in MB instead of % and the number next to the cylinder should reflect the MB?

FYI:
My drive total capacity is 36GB, it's using 16GB and has 20GB free.

Thanks,
-= Irv =-

New Post: Perfmon Category Error

zacaldot — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:39:25 GMT

Hello,

I was trying to setup monitoring on a server that I have called "exchange001", which is a valid name and it can be pinged through the network. When I put it in the Host field and try to select a Category I get the error "Cannot Refresh category list: Input string was not in correct format". I just wanted to see if anyone could help me out with this or if this is because there are numbers in the name of my server. Any help is appreciated.

Thank You,
Zach Crawford

fbaptiste,
Were you able to duplicate this issue? I'm thinking this may be a problem with the way I have it setup.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. First off let me tell you that this is a killer app and I appreciate you making it available. Keep up the good work.

I'll try to better explain what I'm doing and the results I'm having and see if they make better since.
I created a Ping monitor using the default settings and the "Status Light (Single)" gauge. I started the monitor and the gauge turned green as expected. I then saved the dashboard. Now, without turning off the ping monitor I closed the dashboard then reopened it. When it opened, the ping monitor gauge is already in the Start mode, there is a -1.00 in the bottom left window of the gauge and the gauge is black. When I click on Monitor Options button and look at the Monitor Stats at the bottom of that menu the "Elapsed" and the "# Samples" have values that are changing but the Min, Max and Avg readings are all -1.00.
From here the first thing I do to try and start the gauge is to toggle the Start/Stop button at the top left of the monitor but nothing happens, gauge is still black and reading
-1.00, then I click on the Monitor Options, select Properties and click Ok. The gauge then turns green and starts working.
So far this is the only monitor that does not start automatically when I reopen the dashboard. Do I have something setup wrong?

A -1 value indicates that the monitor does not have any valid value currently. When you open up a previously saved dashboard, none of the monitors have run yet and hence should not have any valid values. When you start running the monitors then these values will change (unless there was an error retrieving data in which case the value will remain at -1).
So, after loading up a previously saved dashboard, simply start the monitors and the correct values will show up.
I am curious why you want the "undefined" value to be zero instead of -1. If I can understand that there may be a different approach I could take in the code.
