NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,

I use NetXMS 1.2.7 both on server windows java console.
i have one map with other maps included. theses maps (custom types) have nodes inside that i've added manually.
I think it should be possible to update the status of the map depending on the status of nodes contained in the map.
Some nodes are unreachable, but map status stays at "Normal" status and green.

I looked with status calculation in object properties but don't know what to do.
Is there how-to or documentation to explain the setup to update maps status ?

Thanks.
Bertrand.

Hi!

Currently map object status is always NORMAL. I will add an option for map to calculate status based on underlying objects. Currently you can use containers if you want to see status - but that's a double work. For example, you can create container C and map object M. Then you add nodes to both of them, and set map object M as a drill-down map for container C. Then you can add container C to top-level map. You will see it's status depending of underlying nodes status, and if you double click it, map M will open.

Best regards,
Victor

thank Victor,

when option to calculate map status could be available ?

what do you call a container or how do i creat a container ?

Hi,

I didn't looked at Infrastructure service. I've found "add Container" with right-click .
It works with victor's suggestion, now, i get status of "map" in top-level map.

Thanks.
Bertrand.
