i'm trying to do the exact same thing to make the dci creation process for services marked as 'auto start up' a less manual undertaking.  did you get anywhere with this?  if so some screenshots would be lovely to make my life easier!  thanks

Hi, I have just carried out the migration again from scratch, on the new server I ran the command

nxdbmgr migrate netxmsd004.conf -s -Z alarm -Z audit -Z event -Z snmptrap -Z syslog -Z winevent

It then connected to my old netxms server and imported everything into the new db - great.

however, I still have the same issues where alarms are not automatically clearing on the new server, for example within the attached image netxms detected that a dci was in an alarm state, but when the situation was resolved the alert did not automatically clear - on the old server alarms clear just fine.

Is this due to the db migration - is there an additional step I need to carry out?

Thanks.

there does seem to be a problem following the migration in that alerts are not clearing on the new azure instance of netxms, I have to clear everything out manually, any ideas what the root cause of this could be?  Thanks.

That worked well, thanks

I also found this which is basically the same as you stated:  https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/How_to_migrate_to_another_database which worked well, thanks

Hi,

I am decommissioning the Windows 2012 server that netxms currently resides on.

I have installed netxms on a Windows server 2019 server with MySQL DB.

I do not wish to carry out a DB backup and restore as I want to start with a blank canvas as the 'legacy' netxms DB is rather large.

Is there an easy way for me to restore just the nodes and the associated DCI's to the new Netxms rather than having to recreate them all manually?

Thanks

Hi, we are using Windows server 2019 with a failover cluster configured containing three nodes.  Does NetXMS have any capability to monitor a windows fail over cluster such as the status of the cluster i.e. running or stopped and the status of the nodes i.e. up \ down?

Many thanks

Hi,

I would like to set up an alert for monitoring inbound and outbound NIC traffic on Centos7 to detect unusual traffic patterns eg inbound DDOS or outbound someone transferring a large amount of data off a server, both will cause spikes in NIC traffic.

For my windows servers I have setup a monitor using windows performance counters: \Network Interface(vmxnet3 Ethernet Adapter _2)\Bytes Received/sec and \Network Interface(vmxnet3 Ethernet Adapter _2)\Bytes Sent/sec which seems fit for purpose and both alert when my set threshold is reached, of course the Linux server will not allow me to use a DCI with the windows performance counter option.

I have the Netxms agent running on the Linux servers and I have the option of adding netxms counters such as Net.Interface.BytesIn64(*), but this shows a cumulative total not a real-time figure, any ideas how I can achieve my goal ?  Are there any netxms counters the equivalent of the windows performance monitor counters to monitor bytes/sec ?

Many thanks, Damien

Did you ever find a solution to this?  I want to monitor outbound network card bandwidth utilisation and if over the normal baseline by say 20% generate an alarm.

Thanks, Damien

Hi Victor thank you for your reply.  Process.CPUTime appears you have to specify the application instance that you wish to monitor "Total execution time for process", so you have to specific the process, in our scenario we have hundreds of processes.

The issue we have relates mostly to out of hours alerts for server high cpu usage, we cannot see which application has taken 99% of the CPU unless we login to the server and review windows task manager.

If we could on an alarm event occurring generate a list of all the running processes on the windows server detailing their CPU and memory usage I can then identify the application causing the alarm.

I note that one of the actions can be 'execute command on remote node via agent' - do these commands support powershell?  If so I could call a powershell script using this feature to dump process information to a text file for review the next day?

Thanks, Damien

Hi, I am trying to achieve the same as the first poster, basically when an alarm occurs  for cpu \ memory of a certain percentage (95%) , I want the alarm action to also generate a list of the running processes detailing their cpu and memory usage so I can identify the faulty application, I know how to do this in powershell and cmd, but I cannot workout how to trigger this via netxms, any help will be appreciated, thanks

Hi, just to let you know, I have this working if I point the parser directly at a file:

<parser>
  <file>C:\FX_CHUB\LOGS\test.txt</file>
  <rules>
      <rule>
        <match>TCP Command Socket Failed Error</match>
        <event>LOGWATCH_PLXCENTRALHUB_176.74.191.177</event>
      </rule>
  </rules>
</parser>

I have created the event in the main Netxms console and an email is sent when the match string is inserted into the txt file, so that's great. 

The problem I now have is the logs within this folder are all variable names, is it possible to point the parser at a folder opposed to a direct file?  This way any log file in this file will be parsed looking for the string to match.

I have tried <file>C:\FX_CHUB\LOGS\*</file>  and <file>C:\FX_CHUB\LOGS\</file>

But this does not seem to work.  Many thanks for your help

Hi, just picking this up again.  I need to setup dci's based off windows performance counters for each of our application pools, we have a lot of pools!  At the moment I am adding the DCI's manually which is very painstaking.  I have attached a screen shot where you can see our app pools on the right hand side and available counters on the left hand side.  As an example for app pool 'prepaid' I want to monitor every counter from the left hand side.  Is there a way for me to automate this opposed to adding each DCI separately?  Many thanks.

Hi, I have carried out some further testing and I receive these emails whenever the netxms core service is restarted.

Am I safe to delete unsupported thread pools from the thread pool template?

hi, every night I receive email alerts stating: 

Status of DCI 436 (Internal: Server.ThreadPool.LoadAverage(POLLERS,1)) changed to UNSUPPORTED for node VMSVFXLON004.uk.voltrex.com_192.168.11.207.

Status of DCI 428 (Internal: Server.ThreadPool.CurrSize(POLLERS)) changed to UNSUPPORTED for node VMSVFXLON004.uk.voltrex.com_192.168.11.207.

Status of DCI 425 (Internal: Server.ThreadPool.Load(POLLERS)) changed to UNSUPPORTED for node VMSVFXLON004.uk.voltrex.com_192.168.11.207.

Status of DCI 427 (Internal: Server.ThreadPool.Usage(POLLERS)) changed to UNSUPPORTED for node VMSVFXLON004.uk.voltrex.com_192.168.11.207.

It happens every night at 0320.  Any ideas what is happening here?

Thanks, Damien
