Title: ICMP monitoring in Windows server
Post by: lowtek on July 24, 2008, 10:12:36 AM

Hi All,

I'm evaluating NetXMS to monitor our IP based devices using ICMP only. My current settings is to send an email when the node goes DOWN and when it goes UP with default polling interval of 60 seconds. What I want to accomplish is to poll for the node first then if the node is DOWN it will wait for another 5 minutes and poll again, if it is still DOWN after the 2nd poll then that will only be the time that it will send out an email.

Is this possible in NetXMS and how?

thanks!

I found PollCountForStatusChange in Server Configuration and will try to change it but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to set.

Hi!

Yes, its the right parameter to set. If you wish to have an email if node is down for 5 minutes or more, you should set it to 5 (it means that 5 status polls should fail, and status polls by default goes every 60 seconds).

Best regards,
Victor
