hey all,

can anyone assist?

still cant get this working.

kindest regards

hi there!        still struggling to get this working!!!!!!

ok -

got the subagent loaded.

followed wicki and instead of doing it on individual nodes (i have over 200)  i have created a template following the guides you sent.

question.  if this is a high packet loss alarm then what instance should i add?   icmp.packetloss(*)    should * be the end point ip address of the CPE?
if so then i guess the template wont work as ill have to add the ip address of each router individually.
on another note on my experimental router i have changed the 8 to the b end cpe ip address..  no luck it dosnt work.  it just tells me first the node is down....
then tells me the interface is down....
but no packet loss alarm! 
ive even set the poll times so that packet loss is every like 5 seconds.  but no it fails to work...... 

help?  what on earth am i doing wrong??

Good morning victor, thanks for the hep so far.

Ok so i have tried following your settings:

I have created an unsigned integer but its just not firing at all.

so when i reboot the router i just get the node down alarm and interface down alarms associated with it.

not sure what i am doing wrong!

(see attached doc with pictures)

hi there, thanks for your help so far.
we definitely now have a better understanding... however we are struggling to find the parameter "Icmp.PacketLoss(*)"

we have no parameters under netxms agent.
all the config file looks fine and auto agent is on etc.... so where do we find the icmp packet loss agent from?

kindest regards

hi, thanks for this but how do you apply the subagent to the event configuration so it will alarm and send a mail?  there is nothing to tell us how to actually do this.

thanks

HI all.
ok i must be thick. i simply do not get this program.    i am trying to create an alarm that shows a cisco router has re-booted.

now this should be quite simple as all i need to do is specify a smaller value of what the normal snmp is monitoring and then the alarm will mail me that a router has been rebooted.
however.  i have absolutely no idea how or where to set this value specific to this alarm situation.

So i have created an event in event configuration  called SNMP_REBOOT with message of snmp reboot as i have no idea what else is needed.
then  i have created a snmp trap configuration with name SNMP_UPTIME with the correct trap OID of 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3
then selected the SNMP_REBOOT i created earlier.

finally i have built an event process policy :

if event code is SNMP_REBOOT then generate an alarm and e mail.

but so far it dosnt work and i have no idea what values or where i should be setting these to make this work.

this is the same issue i am having for a great deal more alarms but this is the main example.

can anyone please help?!  i would be most grateful for any info on this as to what i am doing wrong or what i should be doing.

kindest regards

Hi there can anyone assist me?
bit of a newbee at netxms - just moving from solarwinds to this and i am finding creating my own alarms a bit difficult.

i got about 250 nodes that i need to monitor high packet loss on (IE something that says if packet loss is greater than 30% then send an email and alarm)

but i am struggling on how to do this.
Looking at some of the other posts i found this from Victor:

"2. Load PING subagent on any managed node, and use any of ICMP.xxx parameters to send ICMP pings. In this case, you can monitor not only reachable/unreachable status, but also ping response times. You can find additional information about PING subagent here: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/ping_subagent.shtml."

Best regards,
Victor"

but how do i load PING subagent onto the managed node?

I have checked the documentation but i dont get how to create this ping subagent.
then once i have done this how do i create an event in the event config and event process that will trigger an alarm when this happens and send me the mail?

any help anyone can give me on this i would be eternally grateful!

thanks all
