I think I may have found my own answer.  Should have done a search on the topic before posting.  My bad. https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/transformation/msg5758/#msg5758 Tony M.

Hi! "agent not responding" means that NetXMS server cannot communicate with agent (but node may still be alive and reachable), and "node down" means that node cannot be reached by NetXMS server with any allowed protocol - agent, SNMP, and ICMP. Usually you get "agent not responding" event before "node down", but it will be correlated to "node down" and will not be passed to event processing policy. Best regards, Victor

Great response.  Many thanks, Lindeamon. It does help greatly.   Tony.

I don't have access to my mac right now to check, but looks like nxmc-1.1.10.tar.gz is packaged incorrectly. You can try do following: * open Terminal.app * cd to directory, where you unpacked nxmc (you can type "cd " and then drag folder from Finder to Terminal.app) * run "chmod +x nxmc.app/Contents/MacOS/nxmc" Invalid server version message means that we did some incompatible changes in communication protocol, for example you can't connect with management console from 1.1x.x branch to 1.0.x server.

It would be of interest that when you delete a node / agent from the monitoring list that the associated graphs are updated as well.  All nodes deleted are still listed (as if they are still being monitored) within each graph that it was associated with.  A manual intervention is required to keep the graphs up-to-date.  May be I am not doing something correctly.  To delete a node from the list I selected the node - Select delete.

Noted.  I do see what you and speaking of. Thanks again. Tony.

Hi! This could be caused by database writer's queue growing to extremely large size - see my post here: https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/data-collection-delay/msg5745/?topicseen#msg5745. Best regards, Victor

Thanks Victor.  I will give it a try. Tony.

Victor using nxcon.exe.  Should we be using nxmc.exe?  Are there additional options? If I may add another suggestion for ease of operation.  That is giving the predefined generated graphs their own tab.  To go to a predefined graph you have to tab to tools, then, graphs then select the graph you want.  It would be easier to just select the graph tab and then select the graph.  Just a thought. Tony M.

Victor you are the person of the hour.  The key that opened the firewall door was adding a local port (4701) for netxmsd.exe .  Thank you so much. Tony M.
