<![CDATA[too much alarm]]>hi,

i'm a new user of netxms and a french speaker; i'll try my best to explain my problem in english. since a few day, when i restart my server, afer a few minute or functioning ,i get too much netxms alarm for the same node. in a minute, node's status change many time (minor to normal, normal to minor); when it happens, you can't work on netxms application, and the the heap size increases to 500M or more of 990M. How can i do to solve this please

It seems that rule named "Show alarm when node is down" has any event as a source (probably SYS_NODE_DOWN that was there originally was accidentally deleted) - that way it generates alarm on every event (including node status change events), thus triggering infinite loop of alarm creation. Add SYS_NODE_DOWN back and everything should be fine.

Best regards,
Victor

To avoid making lot of screenshots you can export all rules and attach xml file. Go to Tools -> Export configuration, and add all rules to the export. Then press "Save" icon to save it into XML file.

Best regards,
Victor

Usually you should not generate alarms from those events.
