NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,
I use great NetXMS to monitor lot of Windows Server nodes, but only on one I have constantly a new alert generated (few times a day) :

Node capabilities changed (Old: 0x090C0002; New: 0x09040002)

Can somebody explain in more detail what were old and what are new capabilities, so I will try to figure out what is causing it, and stop necessary alerting.
(I do not want to turn of this alerting, just to solve problem causing it)

Thank you

I found something in NetXMS source, nxclapi.h

and it seems in my case, that regular Pool configuration sometimes pick-ups that ICMP should not be monitored for this Windows Server node.

Can somebody confirm me that I am on correct track to solve the issue ?

Thank you

Hi!

That means that flag NF_HAS_WINPDH (Node supports Windows PDH parameters) set and cleared periodically. Node considered to support PDH if it has NetXMS agent and agent responds correctly to PDH requests (PDH.Objects list and others). You can check server debug log (running with debug level 5 or higher) for error messages started with WinPerfObject::getWinPerfObjectsFromNode prefix.

Best regards,
Victor

Great, thank you for correcting me !

I Windows Event Log , from NetXMS Agent I have:

H_PdhCounterValue: PDH Error 00000102 in call to PdhOpenQuery (The wait operation timed out.)


Please explain what to check futher ?
I understand that it has something with disk / RAID ?

Server is operating normally.
