Hi wondering if anyone else is already monitoring BGP on cisco devices. Wondering how others are doing this SNMP trap or Syslog ? How are you trigging alerts?

Thanks in advanced

Looking to audit our windows machines for NIC card speed - IE check what speed they are connected as 1Gb etc.

Is this possible as the interface tab shows blank under speed. Using agent.

Want to be able to view this in a dci summary table. Any help appreciated.

Hi looking for a bit of assistance of where i'm going wrong trying to calulated used % on logical qnap drives via snmp.

the qnap snmp has used and total snmp but not %.

Have the following

parameter

.1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.4.1.1.1.2.3.2.1.4.{instance}

Transformation

sub main()
{
diskfree = GetDCIValueByName($node,SNMPGetValue(transport,".1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.4.1.1.1.2.3.2.1.4.".$1));
disksize = GetDCIValueByName($node,SNMPGetValue(transport,".1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.4.1.1.1.2.3.2.1.3.".$1));
return (100*(diskfree/disksize));
}

instance discovery
snmp walk
.1.3.6.1.4.1.24681.1.4.1.1.1.2.3.2.1.1

Let me know where i'm going wrong or if something is missed happy to build this in to the qnap template once working and share.

Thanks

Netxms Version 3.6.264

SNMP version 2

Interfaces are showing fine however no ports are showing on the ports tab.

Screen shot of device details included let me know if more information is required.

Hi,

Currently, we use the follow message text in the Threshold Recovery text field for emails:-

Threshold recovery %n \n%a \n%m  \n %t \n

We would also like to include the last value for the DCI which has recovered but unable to work out what the code will be to do this.

Anyone able to point us in the right direction.

John

Afternoon

I'm been searching High and now and can't find anywhere mentioned. What code do we need to use so can we can see either the data collection comment when threshold mail is sent out or node comment when node down email is sent out.

Currently using the following code for action message text - Threshold warning %n \n%a \n%m  \n %t \n

Regards

John

Hi

we have multiple sites which we monitor as well as hosts at each of the sites. These sites are connected via VPN or point to point link. What is the recommended way to set this up so if either VPN or Point to point link goes down then alerts are not sent out for each host but an alert sent out for the site. We are currently running - 2.1-M2.

And secondly I notice in the change logs for 2.1-M3  the following is mentioned -  Improved event correlation based on network topology
Could you provide more details on what this means.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi

The expected link Up / Down / Ignore feature is great. It would also be helpful to have expected link speed also configurable for switch ports i.e 10 Gbps / 1 Gbps / 100 Mbps / 10 Mbps and Ignore. This would help when devices incorrectly negotiate there desired speeds.

Thanks

Good Evening,

I'm using the following SNMP  -  .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.10101 to pull down the link speed of a port on as Cisco switch. as we want to be alerted if any device is not running at 1 Gigabit. Unfortunately Cisco send this in different format.  Meaning if you have a Gigabit port and it is connected at 100 Mbps, you will get 100,000,000.  If it is connected at 10 Mbps, you will get 10,000,000, and if it is connected at Gigabit, you get 1,000,000,000.

So I've tried to create a transformation script to convert :-

if ($1 = 1000000000)
return "1 Gbps";
if ($1 = 100000000)
return "100 Mbps";
if ($1 = 10000000)
return "10 Mbps";


This does not seem to be working it always returns 1 Gbps regardless of what the value is. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I'm missing something in the config but I'm unable to show the full name of some of our nodes seems only 20 characters are shown on network maps. If I hover over they show fine. Please see attached screen grab.

Hi looking for a bit of assistance. I'm trying to setup the report server on a Linux server. So we can send out weekly reports of up time for our servers / network devices.

I've gone though the report server setup https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Reporting_server_setup running version reporting-server-2.1-M2.jar

But failing to be able to connect from the NetXMS management console to reports  - Failed to load reports from the server: Communication failure

Any ideas on troubleshooting steps we can take to get this working?

I've not managed to find an option so far but is there an option to view several Racks in one view (ie 3) with the status bars? Is this possible in a dashboard? We are currently running NetXMS version 2.1-M1.

Could this be added as feature request if not already available.

Regards

JD

Is it possible to scheduled downtime for a period of time for particular nodes?

Also is it possible to build a relationship between devices and switches so that if a switch or router goes down then the there are no alerts sent for the connected devices?

Thanks

I'm trying a fresh install of Netxms using netxms-2.0-M3.tar.gz to to CentOS.

When running the configure script I'm getting the following error

configure: error: Cannot find mysql.h - check your PostgreSQL client installation.

I've checked the MySQL version  :-

mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.37, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1


Any help welcome. Thanks

I'm trying to setup a data collection threshold so that if the ping subagent does not get a response it activates a SYS_THRESHOLD_REACHED. I'm using netXMS version 1.1.9. I'm a bit confused as when I try and set the Data collection error I'm not sure what I should be putting on the Function / value fields. Any guideance would be brill.

In the 1.0.8 version which i'm running in a different location it blanks out the last 2 fields (will be / than). So it does not force anything to be put in there.

Also is there a way to look at the log for the say a time period in version 1.1.9 of the results ie show data like in 1.0.8 but able to look at more spefic time other than look at the last 1000 results?

Cheers

John

OS is windows XP Pro - Test bed machine

Database is running on SQL Express 2005

I had 1.0.11 running and fully working. I did a nxdbmgr check before the upgrade. During the upgrade I got the following error nxconfig.exe - Unable to Locate Component
The application has failed to start because MFC800U.DLL was not found re-installing the application may fix the problem.

I've done a search for this DLL to find it in this location - C:\NetXMS\bin\Microsoft.VC80.MFC I've tried to register this but it failed.

How is the best way to roll back or get this fixed?

Cheers

I'm running 1.0.8 is it possible to be able to export some of the data from this. Even if it is only to copy and paste or to export to csv?

Cheers

I have two Netxms Servers one In our main office monitoring severs in this location running on Windows 2003 server and sql 2000 . In our remote office we have another Netxms Server setup to monitor servers in this location. Windows XP pro / Sql Express 2005.

The remote server is set to forward on alerts to the server in the main office. This function seem to work. I have run wireshark on the main sever it is receiving the data on port 4702.

But I'm not seeing these alerts come though on the main server.

I've set the following settings - EnableISCListener and ReceiveForwardedEvents to 1 and restarted the core

Any ideas is there something I've missed?
Cheers

Happens some times with I look at a months worth of data on a chart -

Server side error- Reporting queued error: faulting application netxmsd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module libnetxms.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00008

I am creating a graph from the following data -  2 second polling on a cisco switch port inbound / outbound traffic. (switch port is connected to a router I don't have control over.) I'm only storing the data for 30 days.

There is a transformation pattern for the data but I don't think this will make much difference as this is done when the data is stored. ( I think)

Let me know if you need any more info.

A quick questions for you does the agent have to be on the same lan / VLAN to be able to communicate with the netxms server. The reason I ask is I have nodes that are are different Lans/ VLANS but I'm unable to get the server to poll the agent. The server has full access to all the VLAN's on our network.


Any ideas?

Cheers

John
