I've tried several times to install this and each time it fails with this java error:

I reinstalled Java (1.6.7) and restarted, still it fails the same way.

Sam, Greg

Thanks for feeding back the install errors.

The problem was with the installer and java 1.6.0.4 and later which I did not detect in my testing. I managed to duplicate the issue on my 1.6.0.5 install. I've applied the fix to the installer software and tested and this should now work. However, I'm having issue uploading the file to the Cool Solutions website. I've reported the issue and will post a comment as soon as it is available.

In the meantime, if you still have the original download you should be able to get it installed using java v1.6 (1.6.0.3 or earlier)

Thanks
Craig

I have no idea how to install this tbz file. When I open it there is a bin_ file - huh.

The install worked fine, but it appears to require libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 to run, which seems odd since it is a web application. Any way around this?

Where do we go to download it?

I have searched download.novell.com for "dsDash" and found nothing.

I'm running on SUSE 10 sp2 64-bit. Everything installed fine and seems to be working, except that for both of my trees the only thing that seems to read is obituaries. Everything else shows up as unkown. I'm using eDir 8.8 Sp3 and iMonitor 2.4. Any suggestions?

Which "preference.properties" file mentioned above? Can you please explain where i could include my LDAP setting?
Nice tool!

Installation was successful. But when i run dsDash.exe, I get a Java error. " JRE or JDK must be available in order to run dsDash. No JVM was found after searching the following location: C:\Sketchworks\dsdash\jre\bin\javaw.exe ; javaw.exe in your current path " There is no such folder.

OS is XP SP2, Java is intalled on my PC.

Hello:
The discussions re this utility do not explicitly state that it can be installed on a Windows desktop and used to monitor eDir hosted on Netware 6.5 Servers.
I have been able to install the utility on XP SP3 with JRE 1.6.07 w/o errors and I can connect via the web interface.
I see the servers in my tree as blue objects but the pie chart status screen keeps showing status unknown. i.e. PInk is the only color I see

Am I missing something or is this utility not intended to monitor eDir 8.8SP2 when hosted on OES Netware 6.5 ??

Submitted by cgrogan11 on 17 September 2008 - 10:13am.

I have downloaded dsDash and logged in using local, but cannot figure out how to login using eDirectory. I followed the steps outlined

"eDirectory (LDAP) authentication enabled/disabled in preferences.properties file
## LDAP authentication settings
LDAP.Host=127.0.0.1
LDAP.Port=389
LDAP.AdminGroup = cn=dsDashAdminGroup.ou=groups.o=novell", modified the preferences.properties still can't select edir. Am I missing something?

Hello,
We are seeing the same problem as the post from Anonymous on 16 September. After everything has been installed and configured all of servers status icons on the left of the screen have blue question marks. Also the graphs are displayed as unknown and all in pink. Looking over the log there are no error to speak of. We are running edir 8.8 sp2 on windows 2k3 with iMon 2.4.
One point you made above is make sure you iMon settings are correct, is there any documentation on how iMon should be set up?

first of all thanks for dsDash - it like this stuff! My dsDask installation works very well on XP with java 1.6.0_6.

I would like to monitor the tree health, so I have also configured to monitor the partition/replication option during the inital setup of the tree configuration.

Each server which havn't a replica have a blue question mark as status icon (all agent information of these servers shows green status icons accept the Partition/Replication entries which have a red cross) and the overall tree status is also marked with a blue question mark.

Is there an option to avoid this problem?

Greetings,
Dirk

installation was uneventful and all seems to be working fine except for one strange "feature".... the very first poll after installation showed my servers just fine. second and subsequent polls show blue question marks and i'm an unable to get a successful poll again. very odd.

I have Blue question marks and no errors.

Have you checked the ERROR log....to see it, open the Logs window, single click on the System Log header and select Error Log. Does it contain any entries?

Submitted by anonymous (not verified) on 9 October 2008 - 3:32am.

I have one tree that doesn't enforce secure connections and monitoring seems to work for it
The normal case is to have to make secure connections and my attempts to do that give LDAP Client failure error messages. Are there some unstated additional requirements to make successful connections to a NetWare server from an XP workstation under these circumstances? If I configure non-secure connections I get Confidentiality Required error messages, which is what I'd expect.

I may be in the wrong forum for this so let me know if so. I receive an error when the MTA starts up that reads File or directory is missing (DF10)
d:\...\wphost.db

Also, when I click Console One to open I receive the blue screen indicating a fatal error

I just inherited this server from a new client. It is running Novell 6.5.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"I may be in the wrong forum for this so let me know if so" .....Indeed it is! You may have better success posting this on GroupWise forums

Hi,
a MTA always looks for a wpdomain.db whereas a postoffice looks for a wphost.db.
So you must have swapped your paths here.
C1 always wants to connect to the wpdomain, which is in the domain directory.

I have dsDash running and everything appears to be configured right but I only see a blue question mark beside my tree name. The Error log has the following error message.

"YxpYc3co"

This is not a very detailed error message.

I have tested the LDAP credentials and they are working. (No LDAP errors in the dsDash log).
I have confirmed that I selected the correct version of iMonitor (2.3.1)
and I have been able to connect directly to iMonitor on the servers and it works fine.

Any help?
Thanks,
Dwayne

we have installed dsdash but when monitoring our dirxml drivers we need to change the font size on the web page to display all the drivers (over 25). This means we cannot determine which driver may have an issue as the font is too small to read.

Is it possible to change the dsdash layout so that we move the display of the drivers to a more suitable location.

Thanks
John

Maybe you messed up the DN format?`

The manuel describes a dot-format, not a (LDAP) comma-format.
Try that.

I have all my servers configured for LDAPS connections as well as iMonitoring requiring SSL. Is there some procedure for installing the SSL cert in a keystore somewhere?? I'm guessing my errors are related to the inability to connect due to SSL. Any help is appreciated!!

I went fine for some days, today I got following error message:

HTTP ERROR: 500
An entry point named 'default' does not exist.
RequestURI=/dsDash

Btw: in my Testenvironment (with OES2 and Win Servers) everthing is fine. In productive environment, some servers are fine, some are blue-questionsmarks and some are not even listed in the overview. And I do not see any common criteria. Strange.

I've been trying to install on Windows and Linux with limited success. I'd really like to run this for monitoring of my eDirectory. Would anyone have some tips?

Windows - I'm receiving the blur question marks on my tree and server objects. The LDAP appears to be set up but I'm guessing it's not logging into the iMonitor like it should? Error log says - DataCollector: null
server config - NWCONFIG is showing the iMontior as 2.3.0, Netware 6.5sp6, default ports

Linux - using openSUSE 11.1, NC for linux is installed, aplied various patches. I can install a different version if that helps. I'm more curious about dependencies than anything else for Linux. I'm a beginnner Linux person so it's taking longer to try the app on this OS.

Thanks

I would love to use this tool, but I have no success getting it to work in my environment. I tried to run it from OES2SP1 Linux, SLED10SP2, and from my local Windows XP. Installation etc works fine, I can login to the web page, configure my trees no problem. Unfortunately on none of my trees I get any results. There are no errors in the error.log, and the system.log only shows me the message: "Treejob: OESTREE skipping job". If I double click on any of my configured trees it says "Last Update: null". I tried ports 389 and 636 for ldap, otherwise followed instructions. Tried both NetWare 6.5SP8 and OES2SP1 servers as target with edir 8.8.4 and iManager 2.4. Tried ip addresses and dns names. I'm using full distinguished names in edir format (dot delimited). What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.
