Hi Victor, Thanks for your support, is greatly appreciated for me. Kind regards,

you kick my problem after registering node it is working like charm. Thanks !

Linux snmptrap, snmpinform commands sends an SNMP notification to a manager. Other devices can be configured to send traps to NetXMS server. In adition, You can use this topic as a reference: https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/how-to-configure-snmp-traps-from-my-emc-box/. Best regards.

Yes, or any value less than that - you can set it to 1 second for example. On each DCI poll if repeat event is set, server checks if time passed from previous event is longer than given interval, and if yes, generates new event. So, setting this to any value less than poll interval will cause new event to be generated at each poll. Best regards, Victor

Sounds great Thanks! Best regards, Dan

Hi! It all comes down to the amount of DCI's you wish to poll and the polling intervals. We are using the following CPU and RAM for around 800 nodes with, at the moment, about 25 - 30 DCI's per node, 1x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3520 12GB RAM And we are not close to maximizing the resources. Hope this helps! Edit: We would probably be able to handle the current load with half the memory, but as you never know what the future hold, and as hardware is relative cheap, it is better to oversize, than to not be able to monitor what you need to Best regards, Dan

Hi! Question about debian packages to experts: currently, my postrm script looks like following: #!/bin/sh if test "x$1" = "xpurge"; then rm -f /etc/nxagentd.conf rm -f /etc/nxagentd.conf.backup rm -f /etc/nxagentd.conf.sample fi It supposed to remove configuration files only when package uninstalled completely. However, during upgrade configuration files also got removed. What I am doing wrong? Best regards, Victor

Hi! That's very strange, because German characters should be supported even by latin1 (ISO 8859-1) encoding. On what platform you are running NetXMS server and what database you are using? Best regards, Victor

Thanks! The problem was writing to the given directory JSB

Hi! The problem is following: you generate event SYS_THRESHOLD_REACHED when you cross threshold. This event has sverity WARNING. Then, you have the rule in event processing policy, which has two filtering conditions: if event is either SYS_THRESHOLD_REACHED or DC_HIGH_CPU_UTIL AND event's severity is CRITICAL, then generate alarm. Your event will never pass through this filter, because it has severity WARNING. Also, your custom event - CPU_USAGE - is not used at all. You should do consistent config, for example as following: In threshold, set event to DC_HIGH_CPU_UTIL In event processing policy, leave "severity" column as "any", and leave only DC_HIGH_CPU_UTIL in "event" column Optionally, change alarm text to %m, if you wish to have alarm text to be the same as event's message Best regards, Victor

Dear all, Does anyone know if it's possible to pass metadata from windows event logs to netxms events. In particular, it would be nice to pass some specific metadata like event id, event source to events of netxms, so we are able to identify the events even better in our email system (see attached file as an example of metadata). Furthermore, an other problem we have is, that logwatch events which use the same event parameter are unique to netxms and count the logs no matter if it's the same windows event or not. --> I know, we could have a parser definition for each different event, but it's hard to manage and we won't know specific windows event id in the future... I hope, I made my point clear and it's not confusing  :-[ thank you Best, Joël [image: windows_event_metadata.png]

Thanks, was one of the issues.

Actions where executing but running in background. Applications was waiting to someone to click on the OK button, but it was not visible. Solved it on an other way. topic may be closed.

Good morning! Hm ok, not sure what the best way is, but there are some positive things that come out of having an extra instance that can be separated from the live environment. I think that will be the way to go for me Thanks! Best regards, Dan

Hi! Personally I never try to monitor Windows servers via SNMP, but as far as I know, Windows SNMP agent does not provide performance data out of the box. You have to prepare it using Performance Monitor MIB Builder Tool (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723464.aspx#XSLTsection130121120120). I don't know if this still applies to Windows Server 2003. Best regards, Victor

Hi! Server considers node as down if all it's interfaces is not reachable and node cannot be contacted by SNMP or via agent. How long a reboot was taken? If it was relatively fast, then it is possible that moment when node was completely unreachable fall between two status polls (each 60 seconds by default), and server never seen these two nodes as completely down. If this is the case, solution depends on your goal - for example, if you wish to detect that node was rebooted, you can add monitoring of system uptime, and if it below some small value, like 100 seconds, that means that node was just rebooted and you can generate appropriate event. Best regards, Victor

Hi! Did you turn off automatic layout (menu Map -> Enable automatic layout)? Best regards, Victor

Sorry, it is 32 bits, it is apparently not R2, it has Service Pack 2 though! From description: "Windows SCHED 6.0.6002 Windows Server 2008 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Intel IA-32" Yes it is the 1.0.4 agent, 32-bits. The server has also been restarted now, just to ensure that it is nothing trivial like that, but it displays the same errors, so I changed the user who runs the nxagent to the administrator, and now it works Not optimal, but something is not as it should with the local system account I think I will let some windows admin look at it. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Dan

Under the server config I changed DiscoveryPollingInterval to 3600 and it now fires an email after being down for a minute (default was for 4 minutes).  Hopefully this was correct.

Hi Victor, Sorry I missed the bit in the post you referred to about situation attributes. Thanks for your help. Steve...
