User times (logon / logoff) + EMail Notification

[KlausX-M-S]

Hello,
I am new to netXMS (great software!) and got two questions:
a) I try to log the times when our users did log on and log off.
Does anybody know how to do that exactly? netXMS runs under Windows 7, the Domain Controller is Win2008, 32bit,
I already installed the netXMS agent on the DC and do get values e.g. for the available disk space. Now I would love
to see when our users log on to our Terminalserver (RDP). Any tipps on this?
b) I would like get informed about alarms by netXMS, but I cannot find how to send SMTP mails with authentication
(there are some old threads, but no solution to this) or does anybody know how to send SMS within Germany?

Best regards and thanks for you help
Klaus

Hi,

1. You can do this by monitoring the logs on the DC.
   The agent can monitor the Windows logs, so when in the logs you find a user logging on, generate an event and do whatever you want to do then.

2. Regarding SMTP auth, see this thread:

Klaus,

The fastest way for you to send e-mails is to ask your e-mail administrator to trust your internal IP so you can send unauthenticated e-mails. This isn't the best scenario but often used.
Regarding send SMS, you can use several 3G modems attached to the USB interface of your server. It the modem supports AT commands, the SMS will be sent. You can test it using any terminal program like Hyperterminal in windows, putty, Screen, etc.
Regarding SMS Agent windows log monitoring, just search around for "logwatch parser"

Att,

Luiz

Was hoping to see how I can setup the windows logs to show me specifically users logged in and logged off.
