WindowsFirewall.State

[Spheron]

Hello @all,

i want to monitor the windows firewall of our servers with the WindowsFirewall.State.

If i create a DCI with WindowsFirewall.State(public) (for the public firewall) so i get the value "0" (Firewall is off). If i activate the windows public firewall the DCI value doesn't change, it remains at "0".

How does the WindowsFirewall.State() work? Is "0" not the value if firewall profile is off?

Thanks for any help...

Greetings

I have searched in the Admin Guide (https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/index.html) but i don't find anything for WindowsFirewall.State.

Am i blind, or is there no entry for this function?

I figured out, that only the domain firewall profile is processed from WindowsFirewall.State.

If Windows Domain Firewall Profile is active, all WindowsFirewall.State(domain/private/public) in NetXMS are "1"
If Windows Domain Firewall Profile is deactivated, all WindowsFirewall.State(domain/private/public) in NetXMS are "0"

It seems that the state of private+public firewall profiles is not read...

Can take a Dev here a closer look at?

I did a quick look at the code for reading firewall state, and it is indeed strange. Will dig deeper into it in next few days, as time permits.

Hi,

just fix it. Fix will be included into next release. You can also try this agent build with a patch: https://cloud.radensolutions.com/s/DWBNYGnGbSBMD59

Hello Victor,

testet the Agent V3.8.425... and it worked like a charm... 

Many thanks for the fast fix...
