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
