How do I permanently attach objects to nodes

[goldiec74]

I have a node that is discovered correctly by HPOV. I also have an application that resides on that node that I want to monitor. The software application on the node sends traps if its critical components are "in jeopardy". These critical components are not services or devices. Even though the machine is physically up and running and responds to polling, if these "in jeopardy" events occur, the node's functional capability is down and the node should be reported as down and the icon needs to turn red.

I can do all of the above. However, when the node goes away (say a catastrophic failure) and then returns online, all of the maps that I created are gone. I don't want to have to recreate them.

My question is how can I make them stay?

Thanks!

The problem is that you have the Status Polling set for to short of a time limit. Open the Network Polling Conf and change your Status Polling time to some thing higher (ie 10 days). Or you can uncheck the "Delete nodes if down for:" radio button.

You most likely have it set for a few hours if it dies late Fri. then the node will be deleted before you know there is a problem.
