Title: Node status
Post by: tamal_g on November 25, 2013, 01:59:35 PM
Hi Victor,

I am using NetXMS 1.2.9 where I have a node which sends SNMP traps periodically with different events. For example when this node is powered down it sends a specific SNMP trap and when powered up it sends another trap indicating that the device is in Service.

I want to show the status of the node as "RED" when it is down and "GREEN' when in service.

Can you help me how do I configure this feature?

P.S: I do not want to do that by normal status polling...I want it by SNMP traps only.

Thanks

Regards

Hi!

The easiest way is to generate critical alarm from "down" trap and terminate it (or replace with normal) on "up" trap. Node status will change accordingly.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

As you suggested I have configured both "InService" and "OutOfService" trap of the node and associated with specific events. Also made 2 different event policies where one will show the critical Alarm when the device is "OutOfService" and terminate the Alarm with Normal when the device is "InService".

By doing so, still the result is same and the node status always shows RED with critical.

FYI, I had to disable the option "Status Polling" from the properties page of the node because whenever I enable it my device immediately starts rebooting. Is this the reason why I am not able to configure the status and it always shows RED?

Please advice.

Thanks
