NetXMS Support Forum

We are currently using Situations to control our Node Down and Up statuses which is working well.  The problem we run into is when we do a weekly backup of NetXMS we shut down the NetXMS service which clears our Situation instances.  When we start the service back up a node may not realize it is down and for how long.

Is there a way to backup the Situation instances or prevent them from being deleted on a service restart?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

situations are not persistent - this is actually a bug. We plan to simplify situation usage a bit in 2.1 and will fix persistence issue as well. The only workaround currently is to use node's custom attributes instead of situations - they are persistent.

Best regards,
Victor

Thanks.  That's kind of what I thought.
