Alarm broswer delay
- Thread starter astin
- Start date
The problem is probably due to either DNS lookup problems, or a trap storm. How many messages are you attempting to load into the browser? Also run an C:\>ovstatus -v netmon and see how far behind the netmon queue is for DNS lookups, and what the longest lookup time is.
If you are getting a trap storm (1000s of messaged attempting to load) find the source of the storm and stop the devices from sending the traps or add an access list to your border router to deny port 163 from the offending devices until you can fix them.
If the delay is from long DNS lookups, solve your DNS problem. This could be due to many factors. Post again when you get the info.

thanks, well it says
object manager name: netmon
state: RUNNING
PID 2044
last message; Initialization complete.
having said that, the sys admin has said that there may be dns issues. But I can resolve everything I want to (webnames, machines external to the lan) with no problems.
The DNS server setting is correct.
Out of interest - is there a way to DISABLE DNS resolution in HPOV - will this make the alarm browser start up faster ?

I guess you can if you ensure that all your managed nodes are in you hosts file, but not recommended. What "DNS issues" may there be? You need to be able to do a forward and reverse lookup on all nodes, especially your management server. I guess only on UNIX does the netmon -v work for giving netmon queue status.
One thing you might try is to check in the "contrib" directory under the OV tree for a script called checkDNS.ovpl. Again, I am on UNIX so I am not sure where it might be on NT. Check the "support" directory as well if it exists.
