NetXMS Support Forum

Hi!

I know that this is such a newbie question but I've tried to accomplish this for many days.
My colleagues have looked into it as well without result.

Let's say I want to monitor www.netxms.org and make sure it responds to TCP on port 80
As I understand there are some options:

1. Create a node and a network service
This is a straight forward thing but:
- According to a post in the forum this is the deprecated way and DCIs should be used instead.
- Templates cannot be used, as with DCIs
- The status calculation doesn't seem to work properly; When the service is down and comes back again the node still shows down.
   After terminating the error it goes away but after that never goes into alarm mode again even though the network service is down.

2. DCIs
This is perfect when you can use templates but since the new 'www.netxms.org'-node get SYS_DCI_UNSUPPORTED I guess it can't handle netxmsagent-DCIs.
I mean, www.netxms.org does not have the Netxms agent installed.

3. According to a forum post this should maybe be handled by adding DCIs under the netxms-server.
It feels wrong but maybe this is the way to do it?


I like number 1 best because you can see in the tree what's being monitored, the network services are added below the node and the whole supportteam can see it all clear.


So... what do you pros think the best way is?

Thanks in advance

Hi!

We had a node with an active critical alert and the alert was listed in the table alarm_events and also shown in the "alarms entire network" tab in the Console.
When I removed the node from the inventory the alert in "alarms entire network" was removed and all was fine.

However, the entry in the alarm_events table still holds the record as if it would be active.
My impression was that alarm_events used to contain only active alerts.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance

Hi!

I'm fairly new to netxms so I might miss something very obvious here.

I have compiled mibs through nxmibc on the Windows machine that we have netxms installed on.
Compilation went fine.

With the management console I selected [MIB Browser], for the device I want to work with, but I can't see the named OIDs that I expect.
If I do an SNMP walk the the OIDs are sure found by the MIB browser but only the numbers.
The browser tree is not poplulated with the new information from the compiled MIBs.

I have hit the refresh button several times, restarted console, run the import twice etc but I'm out of ideas now.


What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
