Network Monitor - how to

[ThisIsTheWay]

Please excuse how new I am to NodeLink.

I've installed Network Monitor.  The reason is, I want to see that ISY is able to ping another machine on the network.  Am I misunderstanding the use of this Device?

I've set the "Ping Addresses:" to the desired machine to test.

I check the log and I see lots of entries where Device = Network Monitor and  Status is alternating "1" and "-1"

The -1 to 1 is just the heartbeat of NodeLink pinging (it tells you NodeLink is working).  Each IP you add should show a separate node that gives a Status of its network.

AHHH! ok got it.  This was my first NodeServer attempt.  So this make lots of sense now.

Hi @io_guy

I can't seem to get this module in NodeLink to work.

When I add an IP (192.168.0.54) in the user interface then click Install ISY nodes, I get this in the log:

2020-01-02 15:30:18 - ISY Error: Web Error (FAILED) - NotFound (ns/1/nodes/n001_net1/report/status/ST/-1/25)
2020-01-02 15:30:25 - NetMon Add Error: Index was outside the bounds of the array. [net1]

It does add two devices in the admin console - Network Monitor and Device 0. The network monitor heatbeat works but the Device 0 device does not. Its address is "n001_net1_ - Network Device"

When I add additional IPs (separated by commas) NodeLink does not add additional devices to the admin console.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!
