The NerveCenter node list contains two nodes with the same address but different names

Problem: The node name was changed. When a resynchronization occurred between NerveCenter and the network management platform, the platform added the node.

Solution: Change the name of the node in your platform, not in NerveCenter's node list.

See Synchronization with your network management platform.

NerveCenter deletes a node I added manually

Problem: At a resynchronization between NerveCenter and a network management platform, NerveCenter deletes any nodes marked autodelete that are not found in the platform's node database.

Solution: When you add the node disable the autodelete feature.

See Adding and Deleting Nodes Manually.

NerveCenter adds a node I deleted manually

Problem: At a resynchronization between NerveCenter and a network management platform or when NerveCenter runs the Discovery behavior model, NerveCenter adds any new nodes that fall within its filters.

Solution: Exclude the node in the IP filters before deleting it.

See Filtering nodes using a Node's IP Address.

I'm seeing several errors recorded in the application event log window stating that ipsweep.exe is not running

Problem:Your system is looking for ipsweep.exe in the wrong directory.

Solution:Update the correct path to ipsweep.exe in the alarm action Command in the Discovery behavior model.

Problem:Ipsweep.exe is already currently running.

Solution: Kill the first process and restart the Discovery behavior model.

See Designing and Managing Behavior Models for more details.
