Laszlo,

The experience forces me to agree with Dietmar.
When you add manually a resource Netview by-passes some internal tests (e.g.
looking for into database to the IP address or Selection Name), but athough
this by-pass, the resource isn´t properly modeled.

I would add some lines to the Dietmar ones:
- make sure you can resolv the resource name in both direct and reverse
mode;
- try to configure and test all the SNMP parameters on the resource (e.g.
sysName, communities, sysContact, etc.);
- configure the time-out and retry based on the caracteristics of the
network segment within belongs the resource.

Good luck

Marcos Pezzutti

hard to say , but in general i do not recommend adding objects by hand(via
gui) at all.
Also i always delete nodes and interfaces which have a unknown status (i
create a "smartset" for those to find them).

For you i would recommend to:

- delete unknown objects via the GUI
- add the device you are missing to the netmon-seedfile
- run serversetup-maintain-resolv database incons.
- wait 5 minutes
- check with "/usr/OV/bin/ovtopodump -r 'ip-of-router'" - if it is in the
database now.
