<![CDATA[New operation less or greater/greater or less]]>Dear Forum,

first of all I want to pay the developers a huge compliment. This environment is really fantastic and very modular.
I think, we can replace NetXMS with our commercial nagios.
But maybe for one of the next versions it would be nice if there will be a new operation like <> less or greater / greater or less or using more operations like "<: less then" and ">: greater then".
Let me tell you how our commercial nagios is configured relating alarms. We have thresholds WARNING and CRITICAL, e.g. 10% HDD space is WARNING and 5% is CRITICAL and RECOVER > 10%. If the threshold WARNING is reached, we get a WARNING message and if on the same HDD the CRITICAL threshold is reached, we get a CRITICAL message.
So, if the HDD space now leaves the CRITICAL threshold and goes into WARNING threshold, we get a WARNING message and not a RECOVER message. And this is what I actually can't configure in NetXMS. And if it goes from CRITICAL (< 5%) to RECOVER (HDD space > 10%), we get directly a RECOVER message without getting a WARNING message like I configured it in NetXMS.
Please have a look at the attachements.

I was never happy with the different order of the parameters. I will change my configuration in the near future.
Please add this also to the documentation (Wiki and Admin Guide).

If you want to use single policy you should access them by names instead of positions, like %<dciDescription> instead of %2. You can use the following names: dciId, dciName, dciDescription, thresholdValue, currentValue, instance, isRepeatedEvent.

Best regards,
Victor

But something's strange now. If the threshold goes directly to CRITICAL, I get a CRITICAL and a WARNING message. The message body is fine so far.

Same back, if it goes from CRITICAL to RECOVER (more than 10% free space), I get a WARNING and a RECOVER message. The message body is strange
The RECOVER message shows the following:
WSUS: Filesystem 😄 has now 10.863908% remaining
The WARNING message shows the following:
WSUS: Filesystem 10.863908 is low on free space (only C:% remaining)

The variables were switched, but I don't know why.
Please see attached the event processing policy for the HDD allocation

so you didn't get WARNING message when disk space increased let's say from 4% to 7%? That's strange because your setup looks correct and you should get WARNING event when threshold "< 5" deactivates. How did you check that you got messages?

Best regards,
Victor
