Network Management System (NMS)

Platform Clustering (S1NPM-109893 / S1NPM-110145) — Request: Configurable SelfMon Cluster Member Auto‑Discovery (Enable/Disable Toggle)

IBM introduced an enhancement where SelfMon automatically discovers all members of the cluster. In the current implementation, this behavior appears to be always enabled and there is no supported way to disable it. This is impacting/breaking our o...

Clear message on SNMP Traps

When an SNMP trap arrives we can get emails based on the Trap getting triggered but we cannot get email notifications when the corresponding clear trap arrives. This makes parsing events difficult when looking for the "up" linked to a "down" event...

Add STARTTLS Support for SMTP Security Configuration

At present, the SMTP security dropdown provides only SSL and TLS options. Many modern email servers and enterprise security standards require or prefer STARTTLS for SMTP communication, as it allows encryption to be negotiated after an initial unen...

Configuration option to preserve ifOperStatus data polled during ifLastChange updates

In the current implementation, SevOne discards all polled data for a given polling interval whenever it detects an update to ifLastChange. Although this behaviour is designed to maintain data consistency, it introduces a significant limitation for...

Device Groups and Object Groups, currently set to a static amount of 50 per page. It would be nice to change that to 1000 like you can on the Device Manager page.

We have thousands of devices and millions of objects, and we need to be able to scroll down quickly through the list instead of waiting and waiting for each page to load.

In the Cluster Master, on the Peers tab, it would be nice to be able to save the column configuration you choose.

I have to move the columns around to see the object volume next to the peer names. I'll make device move changes and have to refresh to see the new amounts, but the columns always jump back to the way they were initially. It would be nice to save ...

There should be a v3 API endpoint to run a ping command from any peer to a device

The ability to specify a specific peer to ping an arbitrary device by id, name or management address would be helpful for process automation, particularly for very large scale SevOne clusters. It's not clear what part of the API schema it should b...

Improvements to alert generation and storage tracking would help prevent high alert count based performance impacts.

A significant factor in SevOne cluster performance is the size of the alerts table.SevOne identifies 2 million alerts as the benchmark point for when negative impacts to performance may be seen.However, there is no warning or alerting mechanism fo...
