Hello Everyone,
I am new at NetXms, but it seems to be the solution for checking some network services around me. My first pilot is checking a web server. I am successful to create a node and a service object under it. The service check seems to be working, it answers "0" as the result.
But, my problem is: this is a Windows server with its firewall is on, and I do not want use ping to check the host, just the HTTP service which is alive.
I excluded the ICMP check at the host, but when I initiated a poll for this host, the service check is okay (status
  • ), but  th host status is CRITICAL.

    Could you help me about that how to avoid this CRITICAL status when the HTTP service is on?

    Thanks in advance

Hi!

Check where critical status comes from - it could be either interface object below host or outstanding alarm. Terminate alarm(s) if they are not relevant. For interface object, set expected state to IGNORE. Also you may want to disable configuration polls for that node.

Best regards,
Victor
