RE: [SA-list] snmp bandwith monitoring
Dirk, Thanks, appreciate it. We had a slow build up of DDos requests over one of our internet lines. We didn't monitor the usage of the internet lines, just trying to implement it now in SA so we can be warned if a line is going to be flooded. I think it would be a great feature if it's possible to store it also in RRD, so you could watch the trend of bandwidth over time in RRD.

RE: [SA-list] Failing Service Check
Bob, I’m using the 11 version, service is using lmgrd.exe – 11.4.100.0 It’s visible when I make a new check – nt service - list: FLEXlm Service 1 Did you try to do the same SA-check from another computer? Also use the check on its listener port (8020) I’ve had some situations that the service was running but no connection possible. So no user could start the Cad software. I think it’s better to check also the real entry point for the software (eg the port) then rely only on a service check.

Nico, Had the same problem, solved it by letting the check depend on a check to a batch file. The batch file checks time and a run once flag and gives an errorlevel to SA. It is not exactly on time (depends on how long your checks are running) but it will only run once within a decent time window.

RE: [SA-list] HTML-based (RRD) templates
@Barry, Your right about the remark on response. Most colleague’s don’t have the or don’t want to put more effort in this. I know how I was struggling with some things and was glad that somebody did share something.
