    Hi, you can install agent and then use Process.Count(exe_name) parameter to monitor how many instances of given process are running, and setup threshold to raise an alarm when it is 0 (or below any other required number). There are video tutorials available on setting up basic stuff like installing agent, configuring thresholds, event processing rules, etc. Best regards, Victor

    Here is a CSV export of the FDB entry for the workstation: "MAC Address","Port","Interface","VLAN","Node","Type" "00:23:24:6C:89:04","95","[0]","500","Test Workstation","static" The workstation is actually on Gi2/0/39.  My workstation is plugged into a Polycom IP phone, so Gi2/0/39 has both MAC addresses in the mac address table.  The port is an access port (we don't currently separate voice into a dedicated VLAN). Here's the entry for the phone: "MAC Address","Port","Interface","VLAN","Node","Type" "00:04:F2:9D:B0:F2","95","[0]","500","","static"

    hi tomaskir, your guess was correct. The memory was unset. After a search on the web,  i made the change on CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms2048M -Xmx2048M". this change should be in setenv.sh file (create it if doesn't exist) as [export CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms2048M -Xmx2048M"] in the same directory as catalina.sh wich will load it at the start. After  a tomcat restart i was able to open MIB Explorer on Web interface. thanks again and have a nice day

    OK, I don't know if that maybe helps, but I can definitely say that in version 2.0-M4 it was working.
  • WMI Query to get disk error count

    Just in case it would be helpful to someone else, I'm posting the WMI Query I use to get the total number of disk errors for my hard drive.  I have a system that I stumbled on that had a disk that was failing.  I found the SMART Data was fairly useless, but Windows has a special class that gave me the data I was interested in - MSFT_StorageReliabilityCounter.  If you google it, you'll see that it has a bunch of useful info.  I decided that ReadErrorsTotal would be a good indicator of a problem drive. Unfortunately, the query tended to return two entries for a given DeviceID that were almost identical, so I arbitrarily chose the one that ended with the text "reliabilitycounter".  The other one on my system had some sort of SCSI Id that I wasn't sure would be consistent.  On my system without any "where" clause, the query returns 4 entries - two for DeviceId 0 and two for DeviceId 1.  I'm assuming those correspond to physical drives 0 and 1.  If you want to monitor another drive instead of 0, just change the "0" in the "Where" statement to the other drive number.  You could have multiple queries, one for each drive on your system. WMI.Query(root\microsoft\windows\storage,SELECT * FROM MSFT_StorageReliabilityCounter where '(DeviceId=0) AND (ObjectID like "%reliabilitycounter")',ReadErrorsTotal) This query returns an unsigned 64 bit integer.  I have the frequency set to 3600 seconds and 90 days of history in NetXMS. I hope this helps someone so that they don't have to go through hours of research to get this data, and they don't waste too much time trying to use the SMART data which declared my drive that has 4248 total read errors as perfectly fine - even though it is barely functioning.

    Hi, I suppose you mean NetXMS client (GUI application), not agent? Best regards, Victor

    Hello gmonk63, are you polling all your nodes directly from the NetXMS Server or are you also using proxy agents? I advise you to use nodes proxy agents according to the subnets you are monitoring. There is a parameter in nxagentd.conf called MaxSessions. The default value is: MaxSessions = 32 The highest value of max. sessions can be set till 1024. So try to set: MaxSessions = 1024 But after that. As I already wrote. It's better to set up nodes as proxy agents. Greets, Andreas

    since this wouldnt be recommend then is it almost better to create a dedicated server for these device that need to be polled more frequently and only forward the up down events to the main server as to get as much of a realtime status as possible ?  Or would i still be limited to the polling frequency of the main server ? for instance if i create a server and have it poll icmp every 10 seconds and send that back to the main server will i only find out about that after the 60 second poll  on the main server kicks in  or would it be more of an instant status update from the slave server ..

    Thanx for the speedy reply. I actually found what my issue was. i was using the gmtime function and just changed to localtime and it works 100% now I used basics here but nonetheless it works  day = localtime($1)->mday; mon = localtime($1)->mon+1; year = localtime($1)->year; hour = localtime($1)->hour; min = localtime($1)->min; return day."-".mon."-".year."/".hour.":".min; I could have just added a variable t = ($1) to make it even easier. Thanx for the advice and putting me in the right direction.

    That was it. BRCD-REG was a different version of the same MIB. Found another one as well, SW.txt and SW-MIB.txt. Same thing, different versions. I shall look for duplicates next time I run into one of these. Thanks!

    Hi Victor Thanx so much for your help.  It put me in the right direction. My script i compiled was: t = ($1); day = gmtime(t)->mday; mon = gmtime(t)->mon+1; year = gmtime(t)->year; hour = gmtime(t)->hour; min = gmtime(t)->min; return day."-".mon."-".year."/".hour.":".min; This gave me an output in the following date format: 14-1-2016/14:29 DD-M-YYY/HH:MM I also struggled a bit but remembered to capture string data and not int. I find this helpful for monitoring last modified date and time (which is highly important in my company for some files). Just wanted to say thanx to Victor.  Really appreciate your help. Regards Duane
