Remote network monitoring & Create parent nodes

[fdavidcn]

Hi guys, i have two little cuestions about NetXMS

We have running 2 NetXMS servers in two different locations and everything works fine. My question is... is possible to use only one server to monitor the two entire networks?

In case the answer is yes, how can i do it?

The other question is how can i create parent nodes? For example, if we have the following diagram

AP-------(wireless)------ST---[switch]--Node 1
                                                |---- Node 2
                                                |---- Node n

If node called "ST" goes down, i dont want to receive one email for every node behind the node "ST". I want only receive one email that says "Node ST is down" and i know that the child nodes are down also. Its posible make this with NetXMS?

Thank for support!

Both of these are possible.

1. You have to enable zoning in NetXMS.
   Then create a separate zone for each network.

For the remote zone, you can proxy all communication to the zone through a proxying Agent (just normal NetXMS Agent with proxying enabled).

2. This actually happens completly automatically when NetXMS has enough information about the network.
   NetXMS internally builds topology, and uses that for outage correlation.

So if all devices properly expose topology information to NetXMS, it will just work.
You can check by creating an L2 map with the AP as the root node.

If the map properly shows the entire topology, then network correlation will work.

Thanks tomaskir, i will read documentation about zoning and proxy to try this.

Thanks again!
