flow de-duplication within DI

Flow duplication is a big issue when reporting and the same flow records are sent from different flow exporters (routers that the traffic transits). It's not easy to define groups or select specific devices for reporting, particularly when there a...

IBM SevOne NMS upgrades should allow for limit or throttling of ssh connections

During a production upgrade for IBM SevOne NMS, a Palo Alto Networks firewall adaptive security policy automatically blocked traffic between IBM SevOne NPM peers due to excessive network traffic on TCP port 22. SevOne NPM uses Ansible to perform c...

SNMP Polling inside unique contexts should be fixed. Never worked despite having some functionality already built in. Very important to us to monitor BGP Peers in unique contexts.

Routing tables are segregated based on VRF. Sevone NMS only able to see BGP Peering in Default VRF/ Default CONTEXT. This means we are unable to see bgp peers drop to remote networks. This has vast consequences for us. This is no good! Please refe...

Manually setting sampling rate to SevOne NMS.

When monitoring Sampled NetFlow, It needs to configure the sampling rate on the network device to send it to SevOne.Without this configuration, SevOne will not recognize the sampling rate, and the traffic volume displayed on the Flow widget will b...

I want the SNMP Working Yes/No filter to be real-time - not based on the last successful discovery

When I set the SNMP Yes / Working No filter, I expect the result to be accurate - not based on the result of the last successful discovery. I should not have to manually check the results of the filter to see if they accurate.

Support Negative Filter Values For TopN Views

Some Indicators report values primarily in negative numbers; an example would be power expresssed in dBm. Currently, SevOne can only support positive values for TopN Filters, so creating a Filter like "Power dBm < -20 Decibel-milliwats" is not ...

Flow Rules and ability to block unknown

I would like a way to block all "unknown" flows from all flow collectors such that I do not process flows I do not want to have in my system. These unknown sources eat resources on collectors and I would rather an a "deny ip any any unknown" type ...
