I will bet that these objects you are adding wind up with a shadow box
behind them after you add them, right?
That is because they are in the user plane and not the application plane.
The box for ipmap goes away because ipmap does not manage things in the
user plane, only in the application plane. You are basically adding your
own objects to map and so ipmap does not know how to manage them, so he
doesn't. You can add whatever you want, but then you have to provide
your own program to alter the map status. If you need further
clarification, read up on adding objects to the map and the user plane in
the Admin Guide.
Basically, you should not be adding things to the map if they represent
real objects in your network that you expect netmon to report status on.
Instead, such things should be discovered, not added. If you are having
trouble with that, then I recommend you tell the user community here about
it and get their suggestions on that.

Subject: [NV-L] IP Map object attribute on Add Object Window dissapears
from GUI
Can anyone help with this problem?
We have a new NetView implementation and are getting problems with the GUI.
We have successfully added some objects to our RootMap, but now some of
the object attributes disappear from the object attributes field of the Add
Objects window (particularly we do not see the IP Map application name
when we try to add a gateway connector or interface card object). Closing
down NetView and restarting does Not cure the problem, neither does a
reboot of the Sun Solaris system supporting NetView.
We have checked resources and there seems to be sufficient memory, file
system space and inodes free on the Sun Solaris8 platform supporting
NetView so we do not think it is a resource issue.
