    Hi.

    NetXMS is monitoring nodes over a VPN.Every so often, the VPN will die. When this happens, NetXMS (rightfully) marks the nodes as down but when the VPN comes back, the nodes never get marked as up.

    If I manually run the status it says the following

    [10.02.2021 09:00:09] **** Poll request sent to server ****

    Why would the poll status remain CRITICAL and what can I do to reset it?

      What's currently in alarms for this node (right click on node -> alarms)?

          In NetXMS alarms that are present on a node affect node status.

          Looks like your EPP does not have a rule to automatically terminate node down alarm when node comes back up (see screenshot of default EPP configuration on that).

            Thanks for your reply. I would say that it seems to be something there causing the issue (though i've not touched EPP AFAIK)  but as soon as I remove one of these alarms it does show as up

              Try checking alarm log (View -> Alarm log) to see what was happening - what was the event that triggered the alarm and what is the alarm key.

                I have the same problem with nodes remaining down (no VPN involved though).
                Node down/up works fine for all hosts monitored on the internal IP subnet, but for the ones that use public IPs (still with the agent), they remain down.
                I have this node for example, that is reachable, polling its status looks ok:

                  For this node:

                  • does it has any alarms?
                  • does it has any interfaces in critical state?

                    Thank you for the quick reply!

                    It only has the node down alarm, as in the attached screenshot.
                    It has 2 interfaces down, but those were down all the time. I tried to pus them on Ignore, but no luck.

                      So I believe the interfaces are keeping the node in critical. What happened when you tried to set them to "Ignore"? Some error message? SQL error messages in server log? What if you delete these interfaces and do configuration poll - is it possible to edit them then?

                        They were already on Ignore. I tried to delete them, and do a Configuration poll. I set them again on Ignore, but no change.
                        There are no errors in the server log.

                          I have termianted manually the alarm, and things look ok. I did this to make sure I get alarms in case something happens with that box, but the issue is still there 😞
                          status poll shows the node Normal now:
                          [09.12.2021 17:11:14] Node is connected

                          [09.12.2021 17:11:15] Node status after poll is NORMAL
                          [09.12.2021 17:11:15] **** Poll completed successfully ****
