NetXMS Support Forum

Question ... is there any way to get external events into netxms ? i already use graylog2 for syslog so iwould rather not set up another sysylog server ...for instance i use arpalert to monitor any unauthorized mac address or ip on the network and can execute a script based on those alerts so i would like to genrate an alert and send it to netxms for further processing ... is this possible

Hi,

you can use nxevent command line tool to send events into NetXMS.

Victor,

is there a way to pass variables through the nxevent tool ?  as a test I basically set up an unmanaged node in order for me to be able to send an event to that specific id but I want to be able to dynamically change the event notification for instance  when arpalert detects a new macaddress I want to be able to pass the macaddress to netxms which will show up as a pop saying New Mac address of %mac  detected   then based off that create an action that will trigger a mac find to show me what port that mac address is attached to ...Sorry for all the posts but im at a loss here ....Do you guys have a donation page ? I really need to at least buy you a beer for all this hard work and time put into this software and assistance you provide


Thanks again ...
