Add a period, (.) to the end of the IP address when making any query. This forces WMI to go through DNS resolution.
Example: winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\192.168.1.123.\root\cimv2
In the SolarWinds.APM.Probes.dll.config file:
[WmiSettings Retries=”3″
WaitToRetry=”0:00:10″
ConnectOptions=”BothAutoCorrectedFirst”
DoReverseLookupWhenFailed=”true”/]
Retries – number of retries when trying to connect using WMI.
Replaces old [add key=”WMI.Monitor.Retries” value=”3″/]
WaitToRetry – interval between retry attemps.
Replaces old
ConnectOptions
Default – use IP address
OnlyAutoCorrected – use only IP address + “.” (if IP address is IPv4 address)
BothAutoCorrectedFirst – try to use AutoCorrected version first and then Default version
BothDefaultFirst – try to use Default version first and then AutoCorrected version
DoReverseLookupWhenFailed
If “true, ” then the Reverse DNS Lookup is executed and the log file contains IP address list of target machine to check if we are connecting to correct machine. You can find following message in the log file:
2012-02-23 12:36:43, 766 [STP Pool:4 Thread #0] [C0] DEBUG SolarWinds.APM.Probes.WMI.WMIHelper – List of all IP addresses for ‘10.140.126.27’: 2001:10:140:126:d083:e915:7c6d:48db;10.140.126.27
