Hi! There was a bug with keepalive messages not being sent. It is fixed in upcoming 1.2.13 release, so hopefully your problem will go away. Best regards, Victor

thanks Victor. So you name the events after the source of the event. Has anybody a good system for naming the DCI descriptions? At the moment I handle it as good as possible hirachical from left to right like this: Windows DNS Queries Total/sec Windows DNS Queries PTR/sec Synology Disk Volume5 Size Used Cisco WAN Interface In Windows Service State: Task Scheduler

now the penny has dropped thanks!

Thank you Victor for a detailed explanation, it's very helpful.

Good day everyone. I would just like to ask if report-generator is still working when creating reports. I kept getting 'Load Reports' has encountered a problem. Failed to reports from the server: Communication failure. Can you please help me with this one? Any help will be much appreciated. By the way, I am trying to create these reports in Windows. Thank you 

Thanks missed that one somehow, works perfectly.

Hi:     I  found the data collected by system.cpu.usage parameter of HPUX subagents  inconsistent with the other performance tools like glance,top,vmstat and so on.     I tried to trace the CpuUsageCollector function in src/agent/subagent/HPUX/system.cpp and found the reason:     The HPUX subagent counts the cpu wait  statment as cpu usage:     m_cpuUsage[m_currentSlot++] = 100 - ((float)((psd.psd_cpu_time[CP_IDLE] - m_idle) * 100) / delta);     but other performace tools counts the cpu wait statment as cpu idle.     I modified the souce code like this:     m_cpuUsage[m_currentSlot++] =  ((float)(((psd.psd_cpu_time[CP_USER] - m_user) + (psd.psd_cpu_time[CP_SYS] - m_sys) ) * 100) / delta)  (mybe adds the CPU nice statment is better);     As a result this metric  was consistent  with other performance tools.      I wonder which way calculates the CPU usage is more helpful.

Hi Borgso, thanks for the response. The issue is our WAN link is very limited (32kbs), but there are many nodes on the other side we would like status on. So inducing more traffic with multiple pings is not an option for us. I will look into use of ProxyAgent as you suggest. Thanks, Brent

@andrey-k said in Changing Mangament Console port: I have just made test on windows 7: console successfuly connect via ip:port defenition Thanks for the confirmation. The server is alive and kicking, and everything works on the inside of the firewall. The Android app also works from the outside so its something on the PC, or in the network I was connected to when testing. Thanks -Opie

@lindeamon said in "Get DCI" Errors: Victor - is it possible to have a difference, code wise, between linux and windows ? maybe a dumb question, but i am trying to figure out whether my problem is related only to linux based netxms server. I have the same problem on Windows, NetXMS server running on Windows 8.1. I get the "write socket error" when using Managment Console and/or WebUI locally on the server and when using Management Console or WebUI from another machine. But, it comes and goes, not sure what triggers it. (Maybe idle time as mentioned). Cheers Opie.

Certificate authentication is included in java console since 1.2.11. Still not included in Web-UI. Certificate can be added through the web, but login is still only with password. Information about certificate configuration can be found there: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/user-management.html#certificate-authentication

hi victor , this works fine for new added nodes...how to set custom attribute for those which were previously added nodes. and not getting the Custom attribute for the Interfaces. how to apply the script to the interfaces. thank you Percy

I suspect that when there is two adapters in same subnet ESXi choose one to reply from, and so response packet comes from different IP address and ignored by request sender. Capturing SNMP packets with tcpdump can prove or deny this assumption. Best regards, Victor

I'm managing application servers with a bunch of Java based web applications running on each of them. I'm new to NetXMS and so far a bit overwhelmed by all the possibilities... What would be the best way to monitor that my web apps are alive? I have experimented with DCIs (mainly ServiceCheck.HTTP) and network services created under server nodes but I'm yet to find a good way to create a handy dashboard based on the collected information. I can for example add a Status Indicator widget to show the status of a network service but what would be the easiest way to display a similar indicator for DCIs?

Shweet, I'll take a look tomorrow at work.

Hello, First off. I am sorry for hijaking the post. This now looks like different problem. I suspect it came with the new release of version 1.2.12. I have managed to solve the problem with the dashboards not showing up at all by clearing the tomcat cache. Unfortunatelly, the general bug remains. Please find attached some more screen shots. As you can see the menu disappears at when you navigate to some menu tabs like dashboards, object details and IP neighbours. [image: ss3.png] [image: ss4.png]

Parameter list always show local parameters - even if proxy node is set. I've registered a bug for that and will fix it eventually. Currently you either have to enter parameter name manually, or create DCIs on management server, then move them to fritzbox node and set proxy node. Best regards, Victor

As workaround try to add users/admin permission to write on c:\netxms
