Hi guys, ding

 

Could you please confirm whether IPAM supports monitoring DHCP on Windows Server 2016?

If so, what are the requirements?

 

TIA,

Deltona

IP Address Query

$

Im looking to query a next available IP address in a range.

 

I have gotten this far  Get-SwisData $swis 'SELECT TOP 1 I.IpAddress FROM IPAM.IPNode I WHERE Where IpAddress >30 AND Status=2 AND I.Subnet.DisplayName = ''10.8.63.0/24'''

 

But I need the first available between a range like between 10.8.63.30 - 10.8.63.230

 

Havent been able to figure this out. I tried to filter results but all of their methods are string values and Im not sure how to filter those.  Additionally if you change the 'SELECT TOP' value from 1 to say
5 or 10 or 20, its duplicates the values it returns, which im not sure why it does that.  There must be another 'WHERE' clause I use to filter the results on the initial query.

Any ideas?

Is there a way to view Netflow Endpoints IP Addresses as Domain Names?

$
0

It seems that everywhere else in the platform IP addresses are resolved to Domain Names, other than those displayed within Netflow Endpoints. I'm not sure if there's a setting involved, or configuration done incorrectly.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Any help is appreciated!

Set hostname using REST API

Hi,

 

I really need to set the hostname parameter on an ip record in the IPAM database.

 

I am using the set node ip status in the orchestrator plugin to set a IP address as being used, but I really ned to add the hostname of the VM I am deploying on the ip node record.

 

How can this be done using REST?

 

This is the code being used for setting the status:

requestURL = "/Solarwinds/InformationService/v3/json/Invoke/IPAM.SubnetManagement/ChangeIpStatus";

payload = "[\"" + IP + "\",\"" + Status + "\"]";

 

Best Regards

I would like to have control on the IPAM scan schedule.  Is there any way to tell IPAM when to start the scanning.  I've already change the scan frenquency to 24 hours instead of the default 4 hours but now I wish to start the scan when the network in not to busy.

Is there any way to do this?

IPAM Bulk Import Subnets with IP Ranges via Spreadsheet?

$

Hi,

 

Is there a way to Import subnets and ranges/IP addresses using the Spreadsheet option. Currently when I import subnets it only creates subnets and doesn't create IP Ranges as per the CIDR. We have around 3000+ subnets and creating IP Ranges or adding IPs manually will be a big challenge.

 

TIA

IPAM thoughts and wishlist...

$
0
0

So, both Thwackcamp and TinyElvis got me thinking about IPAM again and how much I want to use it but don't because it just doesn't do what I want.

 

This product IMHO needs a TON of work.   Some parts of it are really nice, but I find it difficult to manage, and maybe that could partially be due to our server team not wanting to integrate it into their DHCP/DNS servers fully.   We can read data from it, but not write to them.   They tend to be a bit messy for me to, shown by the fact that we have over 1000 empty DHCP scopes.

Of course I would love for IPAM to not be dependent on how the DHCP or DNS servers are managed.  I would LOVE for it to replace my IP spreadsheets, but it’s not flexible enough to do that.  Why?   I think a lot of that has to do with how it handles subnets and supernets and such, it tends to do so with little or no intelligence about the subnets.

 

Different Views

My first thing on my wish list is to have different “Views”.  Why? Because different people or group of people might want to view this data differently, so maybe a network engineer wants things broken down in a way that makes sense to them, maybe by supernets, while a manager might want to view things by business unit.    So, at the top of the “tree” you might have a number of different views each of which can display data in a different fashion. Right now there is “IP Networks” at the top of the tree and if you add a new group, it gets put under “IP Networks”. Instead I’d like these to be different views, and I’d like the ability to restrict people to see specific views just like we can restrict them to see certain nodes and such.   I think this relates to exactly what TinyElvis said the other day in his post.

 

Dynamic Grouping

I’d like the ability to be able to add subnets to a group based on criteria that I specify.   Maybe it would be based on the name of the subnet, the description, or some custom field.  But if I say that I want all the subnets that have the custom field “Site_Type” set to “Datacenter” to belong to this group, it should do that.   Thinking some sort of compound statement where you can have multiple criteria would be good.

 

Dynamic Supernet Grouping

Right now you can add a supernet and what happens?   Nothing. Let’s say you have 100 /24 subnets in the 10.35 range, if you add the supernet 10.35.0.0/16, none of those 100 subnets will automatically be added in to this group, you have to go and manually add them to that supernet.   I’d like for them to be “auto-added”.  AND, I’d like the ability to “stack” them, which by that I mean if I go and put in a “10.0.0.0/8” supernet and I also have a “10.35.0.0/16” supernet, that it would be smart enough to put the 10.35/16 subnet into the 10.0/8 subnet and then automatically add the 10.35.X subnets into the 10.35/16 subnet.    And, in thinking about it, it might be nice for these supernets either be “local” to a view, or global for all views.   So if it was local it would only apply to that one view, but if it was global it would be in every view.

 

Subnets

When looking at a given subnet, you should be able to see the different group(s) and view(s) that it belongs to.   I don’t think a subnet should be restrained to being a member of a single group or view.

I think this will go a LONG way to making things more useful.   One thing I HATE HATE HATE about IPAM is when you’re looking through subnets in “Manage Subnets and IP Addresses” and it says “XXX items reached”.  I know you can change this in System Settings under Tree Max Items, but setting this really high can make things run slower.   Making it easier on us to group things in a way that we want to view them should make things easier on us!!

 

Subnet Scanning

First off, there should be a max amount of time that it can spend on scanning any subnet.  Not sure if you want a hard limit like 5 minutes, or base it off the size of the subnet, like maybe 3 seconds per IP or something, but I am always finding a bunch of subnets stuck in here that have started hundreds or thousands of minutes ago.  Which will result in having thousands of subnets waiting to be scanned too!

The “Scan Job Status” needs some better controls too.   Ie: if there are hundreds of devices in the queue, you should be able to find one and promote it to be one of the next ones scanned, so there needs to be a “search” function.   Also, instead of being able to “Cancel” or “Edit” one at a time, you should be able to select any number of them, like all on the page or all of the jobs…   ie: Better job control!!   Similar interface to “Configuration Management” or “Transfer Status” page in NCM maybe?

Would also be nice to have some sort of dynamic subnet scanning.   Let’s say a scope is pretty static, if from scan to scan there aren’t any changes, maybe throttle back the scans to 1 or 2x the scan interval, and throttle it back and forth based on whether changes are seen or not.   And in the case of the empty DHCP scopes, if the DHCP scope is empty and the subnet scan is pretty empty too, maybe throttle it back even further?   Even better yet, if the subnet is not in any routing tables and you don’t get a response, throttle it back quite a bit?

Does the scan pay attention to the ICMP responses at all, or how the subnet is configured in the routing tables?   What I’m getting at is if a ping request is sent to a host on a given subnet and a ICMP unreachable comes back for instance, does it keep scanning that subnet?   What if the subnet isn’t in any routing tables?  Some intelligence might be good here.

 

Manage Subnets & IP Addresses page

I’d love to be able to control what fields I see in the “IP Address View” and what order I see them in. I hate having to scroll over all the time to see stuff that I want to see.  This page in general gets confusing to work with.  The search is great to have, but you can't control it.  You should be able to use regular expressions for one.  I'd like to be able to search for ^10.35 and have it show IP addresses that start with 10.35.   Instead I get stuff like 10.2.10.35 showing up!

 

Active IP’s

Maybe if another module (like NTA) sees an IP being active that wasn’t before, maybe IPAM can do a mini scan of that IP alone?   Or maybe figure out a way to just mark it as “active” on maybe an hourly schedule or something?   I’d probably envision a huge bitmap of sorts where each IP address that is seen just flips a bit, which IPAM could then use to compare against what IP’s it considers to be active and produce a list of IP’s to be scanned?  Just a thought, could allow us to cut back on scanning for some subnets and such.

 

Anyone else have thoughts?  

 

I'm curious how many people have IPAM and don't use it (much) also because it doesn't work the way you want it to?

IPAM MAC Addresses

$
0
0

I searched and from what I am gathering so far,  IPAM uses SNMP to gather MAC addresses?  Is this correct?

 

I noticed i only  have mac addresses for devices that are also nodes in Orion.   I found this when looking to see why IPAM did not detect a duplicate IP between two devices.

 

  Is this something that neighbor scanning would most likely resolve?  Reading the documentation, it indicates that neighbor scanning is only used when icmp fails.  These are devices that do respond to ICMP, but not SNMP.

 

Thanks

IPAM Scan job Status question

$
0
0

In IPAM in the scan job status in IPAM settings, the status is "queued" and never changes. Scan trigger is automated. Last discovery shows the date probably when it was first set up.

 

 

When you chose a subnet and click on the Scan feature, it doesnt scan, it appears as if it just Qued up the scan job but wont ever run. Looks like there is multiple jobs in there as well. 

 

 

Is that normal? Is that because they were queued up run automatically and never ran? How do you kick them off and/or remove them if needed?

IPAM 4.6 is broken

$

TL;DRI've had big issues with my IPAM install since installing IPAM 4.6 and it has caused the following issues that have been unresolved since November 17th:

-Case #1361094 - "IPAM Polling getting stuck"

-Case # - 00019818 DHCP server addition

-Case # - 00027114 - Manage credentials on IPAM settings is blank.

 

Let me preface this rant by saying that this isn't typical for SolarWinds Support or with my past experiences with other product's development teams when it comes to using release candidate products.

 

My company acquired a large project that due to technical requirements is not able to be routed to the subnet our primary polling engine is on therefore necessitating the installation of a additional polling engine (APE) on a subnet at the location with access to the location's subnets. This APE accesses devices at the site with NPM, SAM, NCM, NTA, and IPAM.

 

With the introduction of 4.6RC1, support for APEs was introduced:

Additional Polling Engine (APE) support

You can now install Additional Polling Engines to IPAM. If you have a large number of subnets, adding polling engines can reduce the time it takes to scan your network. Use the Orion Web Console to assign a polling engine to scan individual subnets. The DHCP server properties dialog now shows the name of the polling engine assigned to that server, and a status indicator shows if the polling engine is online and available. 

I updated my instance of IPAM to 4.6 RC1 on Sunday, November 12th. I upgraded to 4.6 RC2 on Thursday, November 16th. Over the next couple days, I noticed a number of issues in 4.6 and contacted support on Friday, November 17th to report these issues.

 

The first issue I encountered was that my IPAM polling jobs are queuing up but, not finishing regardless whether they're running from the primary or additional polling engine. These jobs don't seem to be completing regardless if they were automated or manually started.  The "Last Discovery" field isn't incrementing and the "Status" field for most subnets has a started time of 5000+ minutes ago.

I contacted support on Friday, November 17th and spoke to Alejandro Jay Realo.  In this call he was not familiar with the additional polling engine feature introduced with IPAM 4.6.  He warned me against installing release candidate versions in production environments as in his words "they're basically beta software". I responded that RC versions are fully supported by SolarWinds support and that I required the APE feature introduced in this RC for the new location my employer acquired.  The tech connected to my primary polling engine via Webex and ran the configuration wizard, changed the logging level to debug on most services, deleted a number of file caches, and running and saving a copy of diagnostics. "Jay" created  Case #1361094 - "IPAM Polling getting stuck" for this issue, requested I upload diagnostics for this issue, and let me know they would be investigated and I would be contacted when more information was available.

 

On Wednesday, November 22nd I requested an update on this case as I had not heard back on it.

 

Jay responded with the following:

Update for Case #1361094 - "IPAM Polling getting stuck"

 

Hello Josh,

 

 

I apologize, I was out for 2 days due to influenza.  I have consulted this to my internal team and they do not think this is a bug.

They told me that this could be caused by DHCP and DNS Failures.

 

Kindly go to DHCP and DNS management.  Edit the servers one by one and then test the credentials.  Make note of the failing servers.

 

 

Sincerely,

I did not understand how this issue would contribute to my problem as we don't manage our DNS within IPAM and that DHCP server polling worked without issue in IPAM 4.5.2.

 

I did notice that the "Polling Engine" field under the "Automatic Scanning" option in "Edit Subnet Properties" was blank for all our subnets.

 

I replied back to Jay with the following on Wednesday, November 22nd:

I disagree.

 

 

Per the following THWACK posting there are other individuals experiencing this same issue: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/116013

 

 

I queried all my subnets in the "IPAM.GroupNode" table and I see that 8,247 of the subnets have auto scanning enabled but, no EngineID is assigned. These subnets were successfully being scanned on IPAM 4.5.2 (before multiple IPAM polling engines existed) and now fail to scan on IPAM 4.6RC2.

 

Jay did not reply until Monday, November 27th.  He replied with the following:

Hello Josh,

 

 

OK, however, you did not specify that you are encountering the same error message.  I had a customer that has that message and what I did was to have him install rc3.

 

https://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/OnlineInstallers/RC/IPAM/Solarwinds-Orion-IPAM-4.6-RC3.exe

 

However, I’m not sure if your issue falls under that.  Kindly check each and every DHCP and DNS and check the credentials and note any failures.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Alejandro Jay Realo

I confirmed that my credentials work on all of my managed DHCP servers in IPAM and replied to Jay within an hour with the following:

I have successfully checked all my DHCP (I don't have an DNS polling) credentials and they were successful.

 

 

What would be the next step?

Jay replied with the following:

Hello Josh,

 

 

Go to IPAM Settings  >> SNMP Credentials.


Take a screenshot.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Alejandro Jay Realo

I did so and following up with another finding the same day:

I have updated my environment with IPAM 4.6.0HF3 and the issue remains.

 

 

If I run a manual scan on any of the "stuck" subnets, they complete successfully (however the "Last Discovery" date doesn't change).

 

 

 

 

The fact that the manual scan works and that the auto scan jobs worked prior to installing 4.6RC I would think that there isn't any issues with my DHCP/DNS credentials.

 

 

Please advise what else can be done or if you'd like to schedule another webmeeting to look into this.

 

 

Thanks,

**NOTE: When I said "IPAM 4.6.0HF3" I was actually referring to IPAM 4.6RC3

 

Jay conducted another Webex session on the main polling engine and APE on Wednesday, November 29th where he repaired the installation of Orion without any progress being made.

 

Jay followed up on Wednesday, November 29th with the following:

Hello Joshua,

 

 

I got a hold of our Application Engineer, he wanted to do a remote session on Friday, 10 AM US Central Time.  Would that be ok?

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Alejandro Jay Realo

I accepted this:

Yes, that works for me.

On Friday, December 1st I had a multi-hour Webex session with an application engineer, Matthew Lamb.

 

No progress was made on the issue and Matt requested I submit diagnostics from the session.

 

On Wednesday, December 6th I updated to IPAM 4.6 GA and the issues persisted.

 

I requested an update on the case:

Alejandro, Can this case be escalated? This has been going on for over a week and the issue persists even now that IPAM 4.6 is a GA version.

I received the following response:

Hello Josh,

 

 

This has been escalated.  The Application Engineer is the Highest support and your case was undoubtedly consulted to the development team.  They are in the process of investigating this issue.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Alejandro Jay Realo

On Thursday, December 7th I noticed I was unable to poll DHCP servers from my APE.

 

I called support for this new issue and Jay created Case # - 00019818 DHCP server addition for this issue.

 

He created this case without performing any troubleshooting with the issue. He also questioned whether this feature exists in IPAM 4.6 and asked that I submit screenshot proof of where this feature is documented.

 

Here's the information I submitted for this case:

Node # 4954 is being monitored in NPM by the additional polling engine *removed* It is a Cisco Catalyst 4500 that is also setup in NCM with credentials that have full "enable" access.

When I attempt to test it using the same credentials that NCM uses in IPAM, I receive an error that states "Test Failed. Node 4954 is not on the Main poller. Please move node to the Main poller and try again."

Per the IPAM 4.6 release notes here: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/IP_Address_Manager_(IPAM)/release_notes

"The DHCP server properties dialog now shows the name of the polling engine assigned to that server, and a status indicator shows if the polling engine is online and available."

I have also uploaded the diagnostics as requested.

 

 

Please let me know when we can work to resolve this asap as adding DHCP server from the APE is a critical feature for us.

 

 

Thanks,

Matthew Lamb replied to case #1361094 with the following:

Hello Josh,

 

 

I wasn't aware that you had upgraded IPAM to the fully released version of 4.6. That changes some things that development need to look at. If you have upgraded IPAM to 4.6 GA, can you do the following for me? It will assist development with their investigation:

 

 

- On Each poller, go to Start > Run and Type in LogAdjuster

- Scroll down to IP Address Manager and set the Control for each of the 3 options in there to DEBUG

- Click on apply

- Wait 1 hour

- Create a set of diags on each poller by going to Start > Run and type in Orion Diag

- Leave the default options selected for the diags and just continue through for creation.

 

 

Once the diags are completed on each poller, please upload them to the link below:

In frustration on Thursday, December 7th I sent the following to Connie Dowdle (ding IPAM Project Manager), Jay, and "technicalsupportfeedback@solarwinds.com":

Hi Connie,

I hate to contact you directly however, I have had 2 critical issues since IPAM 4.6 RC that still persist with the GA version. I have been in contact with support over the past 4 weeks and they said they've been trying to arrange a remote session with the IPAM dev team to get this resolved.  This step of the troubleshooting process seems to be delayed and the support rep assigned to my cases (Alejandro "Jay" Realo) has said the delay is with the IPAM dev team.

 

 

 

Case # 1361064 has to do with IPAM scan jobs getting "stuck" and first occurred on November 17th with IPAM 4.6 RC2. Initially, Jay chastised me for installing an RC version in a production environment as in his words "it's like a beta version and may be broken". I let him know I was fully aware of this and that RC versions are still fully supported by SolarWinds support and that the features introduced in IPAM 4.6 are critical to my company's environment.

 

 

 

I completed 3 remote sessions to troubleshoot this issue with Jay with the latest one including an IPAM application engineer lasting for a few hours with no progress on the issue.

 

 

 

Case # 00019818 was just opened today. This issue concerns trying to add a DHCP server to IPAM that is being polled from an additional polling engine(APE). When I attempt to add the node that is already being polled by the APE in NPM as a DHCP server in IPAM 4.6 GA, I receive an error that says "Test Failed Node 4956 is not on the Main poller. Please move the node to the Main poller and try again."

I recevied Jay again when calling support. He immediately instructed me to submit diagnostics and to email a screenshot of the error without doing any troubleshooting or a Webex session.  He said that this issue will be sent directly to the dev team for resolution once I submitted the requested items.

 

 

The process for getting these issues resolved has been very frustrating and I'm not accustomed to SolarWinds support, which has always been very responsive and helpful in the past, taking so long to get such major issues resolved.  When I recommended SolarWinds products in our company's current use case as a solution I was confident I could get it to do what we need it to do and vouched for that in meetings to request purchase of the licenses needed for this deployment.

 

 

I don't want to have to go into my update meeting next week and present that I'm not able to proceed due to unresolved technical issues that have existed for almost a month now.

 

 

Thanks,

On Thursday, December 7th I responded to Matt's request:

Matt,

Changed the logging on both my polling engines as requested. I'll wait until 12:15 PM CST and create/send the diag files.

 

Thanks,

 

Then Matt:

Josh,

 

 

Excellent, thank you. I would also ask that when you send the diags in, to provide me all the times that you can meet Monday through Friday next week during the morning hours (preferably between 8-11am CST).

 

 

I've already asked development to look at this directly, but I won't hear back from them until tomorrow morning on availability, which would be too late. Gathering diags like you are doing so now is to prep them before the meeting. They really need to see this themselves, same as I needed, so I'm pushing for that to happen asap.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 

Matthew Lamb

Then Me:

Diags are uploading now.  Monday at 8am would work for me.

Then Matt:

Josh,

 

I have received them, thank you. I'll go ahead and schedule the meeting for Monday, 12/11 @ 8am CST:

On Monday, December 11th I had a multi-hour Webex session with Matt and 2 members of the IPAM development team. During this Webex, most Orion components were uninstalled and reinstalled. The (server name)\"private$\solarwinds/collector/processingqueue/ipam.dhcp.subnet.polling" message queue was cleared as it was getting queued with over 20,000 messages and not being processed.

Logs were generated and uploaded.  The devs weren't sure how to resolve the issue and said they would follow up after reviewing the logs.

 

On Monday, December 11th Jay replied to Case # - 00019818 DHCP server addition with the following:

Hello Josh,

 

 

 

 

Upon checking, it seems that is the expected behavior.

 

 

To verify, can you create custom whitelist for Hostname, IP and MAC and then put asterisk.

 

 

Just check if you would still get rogue alerting.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Alejandro Jay Realo

I wasn't sure what Jay was talking about as his instructions didn't seem to apply to my issue.

 

I spoke to Matt about this and he said this is a known issue in IPAM 4.6 GA and he would be sure I would be alerted when it's resolved.

 

On Thursday, December 14th I requested an update on this:

Hi, Are there any updates on this request? Thanks

Matt responded with:

Josh,

 

 

Not at this time. The core devs are currently working with the IPAM devs to reproduce the issue. Once they can reproduce it, then they can root cause it and determine fix. I'll update you as soon as I receive word.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 

Matthew Lamb

On Friday, December 15th Matt sent the following:

Josh,

Best regards,

 

 

Matthew Lamb

I uploaded the files as requested and let Matt know.

 

On Monday, December 18th I sent the following to Matt, Connie Dowdle, and technicalsupportfeedback@solarwinds.com:

Hi Matt,

 

 

 

Would it be possible to schedule a session this week to get this resolved?  Should I escalate this with a member of the Core team to get this resolved?

 

 

 

Please let me know what can be done to get this taken care of, regardless of which product is responsible.  This issue started when IPAM 4.6RC1 was installed on Sunday, November 12th.  I contacted SolarWinds support to open this case on Friday, November 18th.  This case has now been open for over a month, I've worked with support over the course of 4 Webex meeting with over 6 hours on those meetings, and IPAM 4.6 GA is out and no progress has been made on this.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Matt responded with:

Hello Josh,

 

 

 

Unfortunately a meeting would not be productive until development has a possible fix or needs specific information directly. At this time, they have determined WHAT is happening, but now are trying to determine WHY.

 

 

 

I have already let our management know of the request for escalation, as well as Connie with the product management group and will update you with what I hear back from them and development asap.

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

 

 

Matthew Lamb

On Thursday, December 21st I noticed that the "Credentials for scope scans" under "Manage Credentials" is blank and shows "No credentials have been added." I currently have a number of credentials that are assigned to numerous scope scans and have even tried to add new credentials without them showing up.  I contacted support and Case # - 00027114 - Manage credentials on IPAM settings is blank. was created for this.

 

On Friday, December 22nd I conducted a Webex with Dave Roallos for this issue and he had me export and upload diagnostics for this.

 

On Tuesday, December 26th I received the following up for Case # - 00027114 - Manage credentials on IPAM settings is blank.:

Hi Joshua,

 

 

 

Good day.

 

 

 

Thank you for uploading your Diagnostics for IPAM and UDT, I already consult this case and mention with our Application Engineer that you also have a case that's already with our DevTeam.

I am hoping someone can help me out here please.

 

I'm interested in the Solarwinds IPAM but wonder how it measures up against the IPAM that Microsoft offer as part of Windows Server 2012 R2 (as a Role).

Anyone used the Microsoft one? or both?

 

Much appreciated

Hi,

 

Following an upgrade to 12.3 i now have users reporting they don't see all the subnets in IPAM (4.7), this only seems to be a problem is the Edge browser as Chrome/IE work fine.

 

In Edge you only see the first subnet in the supernet in the first group......

 

 

In Chrome you see everything:

 

 

Its not user permissions so i'm assuming it's a browser issue, has anyone else seen this or can try it for me to see if they see the same behaviour?

 

Thanks

vRealize Automation Integration

We recently deployed VMware vRA/vRO and are beginning work on automating our server provisioning process.  With the recent update of Solarwinds IPAM, we have installed the vRO package according to the Solarwinds documentation.  So far, testing of the vRO workflows against our Solarwinds IPAM platform has worked well.  The next stage of implementation is to add the IPAM integration into vRA.  I see a vRO workflow for this, but so far it has not worked and I have not been able to find any documentation on this portion of the setup.  Based upon the Solarwinds webcast at the end of February, it looks like this integration should be possible.  Does anyone have any experience in integrating Solarwinds IPAM with vRA?

Transient IPs?

Whats the deal with transient IPs?

I have daily scanning of several subents enabled.  Sometimes, IPAM will populate the list fairly accurately (we may some some devices with ICMP and SNMP disabled).

But other times, the scan will come back and list every IP as transient.

A google search of "transient IPs" gives thousands of varied results.

So what gives?  There have been no changes on these networks, but at scan at 10am will poplutae accuratly, and one a 3pm will result in 100% transient, and my scope utilization drops to 0%

User error?

IP Request Form and Alerts

Anyone using this feature?

 

When someone has made a request and the alert comes what's the correct process of getting that alert to go away again?

How do you cancel a request?

 

When opening the trigger request you have no actions available, only possible to view the details as seen here:

Changing the IP in question to reserved in the subnet doesnt seem to do anything either?

 

Is the Request feature just broken or? Anyway to disable it completely if that's the case?

 

Running 4.7 of the IPAM module.
