    I forgot to mention that when nxshell is able to connect, if I monitor the process I see it go into a CMD_GET_OBJECTS state with AES-256 and a CLTYPE of DESKTOP    [nxjclient/1.2.9 Linux 3.13.5-1-ARCH; libnxcl 1.2.9)] When it is failing, I've tried it with and without encryption and don't see any difference in the error message. At the moment, nxshell is behaving again.  I don't know how long it will last.

    Thanks Victor. I know this in templates. I just thought there could be a similar possibility directly in DCIs of a node.

    Hi! Just test it and got object details for map itself (which is also wrong but in a different way). Will check it later. Best regards, Victor

    First, let me thank you for adding the service list and table support.  I do have a few questions regarding this feature.  First, how can I ignore a specific service.  For instance, I want to alert when a service that has a startup of auto does not equal the state of running.  But I also need to be able to ignore specific services, example the service Software Protection has a startup of auto but doesn't always have the state of running. The last question is when sending an alert email what is the proper Message text to get the actual service name that stopped running and to list the state of that service?

    Another option is to change server configuration parameter DefaultEncryptionPolicy. Possible values are: 0 - never use encryption 1 - use encryption only if agent requests it 2 - always use encryption, fallback to unencrypted channel if agent does not support encryption 3 - always use encryption, close connection if agent does not support encryption Best regards, Victor

    Hi! Parser XML element names are case-sensitive. You should use <level> instead of <Level>. Best regards, Victor

    Thanks for the reply. It seems that tooltips for web UI were not implemented in zest yet.  They have an open issue for that: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351288. Regards, Lukas

    Hi I have been having problem with my Management Console. Running Windows 8 in a virtual envirement. When trying to apply nodes to a Container, nothing happens after clicking "Manage" on container-rightclick. Same problem in "Alarm Log" when trying to manage "Condition". Using nxmc 1.2.9 and 1.2.12. Do i have a problem with eclipse? If so, is it possible to reset this? On Windows 7 there is no problem with my nx user, so must be a local problem.

    Don't know if this is the right forum, but here is a couple of the tools I use when testing monitoring. (Mind that I 99.9% of the time use different flavors of Windows, so this is tools for Windows). I often find it useful to test monitoring without touching the settings/tresholds in NetXMS, but rather putting load on the monitored systems. CPU: CPUSTRES.EXE This is an old as sin (from 1999) test tool from Sysinternals. While it hardly is able stress my main PC with its i7-3930K 6-core CPU its perfect for an anemic Acer Revo 70 with an AMD E-450 or virtual machines. Hyper PI This is a Super PI front-end well suited for multi-core systems. Memory: TestLimit Also a tool from Sysinternals, 32- and 64-bit. I call it "the RAM eater", perfect for my use, ranging from VM's with 512MB to my main PC with 32GB RAM. f.ex testlimit64 -d -c nbrInMB, ie testlimit64 -d -c 4096  "eats" the RAM amount specified. More here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vijaysk/archive/2012/10/27/tools-to-simulate-cpu-memory-disk-load.aspx http://www.virgilioborges.com.br/hyperpi/ This is what I use, but I have still to find simple, easy to use tools for simulating disk load and network load. Any recommendations anyone? TIA Cheers Opie
