<![CDATA[Upgrade Win Agent 2.0.8 > 2.1: Logwatch Subagent not loading]]>Hello @all,

wie use policys to deploy the agent configs. One "Master" policy:

<config>
    <agent>
        <MasterServers>XX.XX.XX.XX</MasterServers>
        <ConfigIncludeDir>C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d</ConfigIncludeDir>
        <LogFile>{syslog}</LogFile>
        <FileStore>C:\NetXMS\var</FileStore>
        <SubAgent>winperf.nsm</SubAgent>
    </agent>
</config>

An one policy to get alarms from windows eventlog:

<config>
    <agent>
        <SubAgent>logwatch.nsm</SubAgent>
    </agent>
    <logwatch>
        <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_system_parser.xml</Parser>
        <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_application_parser.xml</Parser>
    </logwatch>
</config>

Until Agent 2.0.8 this works without problems. Since i upgraded the agents to 2.1 (64bit), the 2.1 agent is not loading the logwatch subagent.

All 2.0.8 agents have loaded the logwatch subagent and sending windows event is working.

We using NetXMS Server V2.1 64bit on Win7 64bit Host with MySQL 5.6.35 64bit.

Greetings
Marco

<config>
  <core>
      <MasterServers>XX.XX.XX.XX</MasterServers>
      <ConfigIncludeDir>C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d</ConfigIncludeDir>
      <LogFile>{syslog}</LogFile>
      <FileStore>C:\NetXMS\var</FileStore>
      <SubAgent>winperf.nsm</SubAgent>
  </core>
</config>

<config>
  <core>
      <SubAgent>logwatch.nsm</SubAgent>
  </core>
  <logwatch>
      <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_system_parser.xml</Parser>
      <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_application_parser.xml</Parser>
  </logwatch>
</config>

Also, it is not necessary to use XML format - you can use key-value format as well.

Best regards,
Victor

"Agent Master Windows" policie:

<config>
  <agent>
      <MasterServers>XX.XX.XX.XX</MasterServers>
      <ConfigIncludeDir>C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d</ConfigIncludeDir>
      <LogFile>{syslog}</LogFile>
      <FileStore>C:\NetXMS\var</FileStore>
      <SubAgent>winperf.nsm</SubAgent>
  </agent>
</config>

"Agent Config Eventlog Windows" policie:

<config>
  <agent>
      <SubAgent>logwatch.nsm</SubAgent>
  </agent>
  <logwatch>
      <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_system_parser.xml</Parser>
      <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_application_parser.xml</Parser>
  </logwatch>
</config>

In the "Agent Config Eventlog Windows" i tried to change the <agent> in <core>. This results in a agent crash and the logwatch subagent are still not showing, so i reverted back to <agent>.

In which section i must change the <agent> in <core>?

Best regards,
Marco

as seen from output SubAgent entry for logwatch still in "agent" section, but should be in "CORE". Could you show me how your policy looks like now?

Best regards,
Victor

config
 +- CORE
 |  +- MasterServers
 |  |    value: XX.XX.XX.XX
 |  +- ConfigIncludeDir
 |  |    value: C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d
 |  +- LogFile
 |  |    value: {syslog}
 |  +- FileStore
 |  |    value: C:\NetXMS\var
 |  +- SubAgent
 |        value: winperf.nsm
 +- agent
 |  +- MasterServers
 |  |    value: XX.XX.XX.XX
 |  +- ConfigIncludeDir
 |  |    value: C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d
 |  +- LogFile
 |  |    value: {syslog}
 |  +- FileStore
 |  |    value: C:\NetXMS\var
 |  +- SubAgent
 |        value: logwatch.nsm
 |        value: winperf.nsm
 |        value: logwatch.nsm
 |        value: filemgr.nsm
 +- logwatch
 |  +- Parser
 |        value: c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_system_parser.xml
 |        value: c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_application_parser.xml
 |        value: c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_system_parser.xml
 |        value: c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_application_parser.xml
 +- filemgr
    +- RootFolder
          value: c:\

In the subagentlist of the management console only the winnt and winperf subagents are showing (see attachment, please).

I test the eventlog with:  eventcreate /T ERROR /ID 1000 /L APPLICATION /D "TestError"
