Hey there. I am using NetXMS Managment console 3.5.90

Scenario

I create a host  in the infrastructure section. After a period of time this host has a critical condition. I checked Its alarm. I resolved all of them. However, the host still appear with a critical condition. I attach an image to try to clarify this scenario.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks in Advance

Hopefully one day this issue will be implemented and life will become easier: https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-1961

Can you show output of status and configuration poll for this host?

So overall there are three things can affect node status:

- Alarms
- Status of node interfaces
- DCIs that have "Use this DCI for node status calculation" option set.

A node can nave alarm that belong to some alarm category that is not visible to given user. There is user right "View all alarm categories" that should be set for administrative users. Could be that this right did not get set after one of the upgrades.

How status of interfaces is transferred to node depends on status propagation settings for interfaces and status calculation settings for a node. If these are not default then node status could be different from status of underlying interfaces.

Check DCIs if "Use this DCI for node status calculation" is not set.

Hey, Filipp, first thanks for your time to reply my post.

My comments:

Alarm. Ok

Status of node interface. I verified the status of C2 node. It is in the default mode. I attach a screenshot of it.

DCIs. I check them out all the NetXMS manager console. However, I didn't find the DCI node status.  Can you help me where to set it up, please.

Thanks in Advance

"Use this DCI for node status calculation" is in properties of DCI, see attached screenshot.

Try logging into NetXMS management console by administrative user and check that that user has "View all alarm categories" right (or belongs to a group that has this right set). It's in Configuration -> User manager.
