NetXMS Support Forum

Got it, thank you very much for explaining!

Ok, that makes sense. I'm probably going about this the wrong way then?
I've seen screenshots where people have a connector between 2 devices on a map where the connector color changes based on bandwidth usage.
I assumed I had to apply the status to the interface and set the color of the connector to the status of the interface.
What's the proper way to do this where a DCI threshold changes the color of a connector and doesn't affect the status of one of the switches it connects?

I've been playing with netxms this week for the first time and have been loving it!
I have created a DCI for an interface to measure the current bits/s by right clicking it and using the built-in 'create data collection items'.
I've also successfully created the thresholds and the events are firing in the event monitor when they're met.
However, if I configure event processing to generate an alarm, the alarm is put on the switch and not the interface itself.
Is there a way to make the alarm generate on the interface? I've looked through the admin guide and searched around, but maybe I'm missing something simple.

Thanks!
