Hi all, Back with more LMS questions.  We have 4.2 running (two separate instances - we have more than one network) and I have a config collection job set up.  Upon initial discovery, configs were pulled from all devices into the Shadow director as expected.    However, since initial discovery, the Shadow directory has not been updated despite the fact that it is set up to pull config backups daily from all devices. Under the Archival Summary, it does show that all devices were successful or partially successful (the partials are where VLAN collection failed...I'm unsure why it is even trying given I disabled VLAN collection).  So it appears to be working, yet the configurations have not changed in the Shadow directory. Any ideas why this may be happening?  Does it only update the Shadow dir if the device config actually changed since last scheduled job?  None of the configs HAVE changed since I discovered them.  We use SNMPv3 and SSH as access methods for LMS. Thanks in advance for any thoughts! Jen                 ... View more

Hi all, We have a requirement for SNMPv3.  I have implemented it on a test switch, and added a device credential set for it.  This switch, which was previously discoverable (and it's traps viewable) via SNMPv2 is no longer visible to LMS.  I'm had thought my configs were correct, but perhaps not, so I'm not sure if I am missing something in LMS.  Any thoughts appreciated! Here are the configs on the switch: snmp-server view LMS iso included snmp-server view LMS at excluded snmp-server view LMS snmpUsmMIB excluded snmp-server view LMS snmpVacmMIB excluded snmp-server view LMS snmpCommunityMIB excluded snmp-server group LMS v3 priv read v3read write v3write notify LMS snmp-user LMS LMS v3 auth md5 authPW priv aes 128 privPW snmp-server host x.x.x.x traps version 3 priv LMS Thanks for any assistance!                  ...

Hi all, I've just installed LMS 4.2, like it a lot so far.  But I'm running into a few problems, and I'm hoping someone out here has a suggestion.  In the Fault Monitor, the Device Name column shows the device's IP address rather than the host name.  We need for it to show the host name, for ease of troubleshooting; most folks don't have the IP addresses memorized.    Likewise, when an email is sent out for an event, the managed device field also shows up as the device's IP address. The devices were all discovered with their IP addresses rather than a host name...should LMS have automatically found their host names?  Regardless, I manually updated all of the device's host names, yet they still display as an IP address in the fault monitor.  Also, it appears I need to figure out some way to throttle alerts.  One particular device will report an event (ie a temperature out of range) dozens of times in a polling period...several per second, even though it's the same alert.  Any suggestions on where I can throttle this?  My inbox is exploding.                   If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it!
