NetXMS Support Forum

Running 1.2.0 Console and agents.

First question, I have a WMI Query WMI.Query(root\cimv2,"select * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_PhysicalDisk Where Name = '_total'",DiskWriteBytesPersec) and it yields results but yet when I try to graph this DCI I get a flat line of 0.

Second question, is it possible to monitor all windows services that are set to "automatic" and if any are not started to get an alert.  I believe Nagios does something like this.

Third question, I would really like to try out the reporting, is there an example somewhere?

Using NetXMS 1.0.12 Server with a mix of 1.0.12 and 1.1.4 agents.

When a rearm email is sent is it possible to include the threshold value and the actual value?  If so, how?

sorry forgot that info.

Agents are 1.1.4
Server is 1.0.12

I have two actions that are set to email me, one upon failure and one on success.

The email subject for the failure works correct.  The subject line is as follows:
LOW MEMORY:  On %t, total ram being used is %4%% on %n.

This returns LOW MEMORY: On today'sdate, total ram being used is 99% on mynode.


The email subject for the success doesnt work so well.  The subject line is as follows:
MEMORY GOOD:  On %t, total ram being used is %4%% on %n.

This returns MEMORY GOOD: On today'sdate, total ram being used is % on mynode.


why does %4 not work on success?  On success I would like to know what the current value is.

I had only one address in my config file.  Adding the second worked like a charm, thanks!

Installed 1.1.5 on a win7 box with sql 2008 r2.  The only box I am trying to monitor is the one running Netxms Core.  I try to edit the agent config and get "The chosen operation is not enabled."  I try to make a DCI with Origin being NetXMS Agent and then I hit the Select button under Parameter and nothing populates under available parameters.  Doing a configuration poll does not return the agent version but yet yields no errors.  What do I need to configure to see the parameters under the agent?

I figured this out.  I placed the externalparameter line below the *PING line in the config.  Moving it above this line and it works perfectly.

Love this app btw, great work.

I did that.  Checked via the same method posted above and still nothing new shows up.  It should show up under Supported agent parameters as MyAVCheck correct?  If so, then nothing is showing up.  Even allowing some time to pass by.  Do I need to add a subagent or anything along those lines?  Also, the vbs file and the config file was edited on the machine I am monitoring.  Nothing needs to be added to the machine that acts as the server correct?

I have created a folder on one of my nodes c:\myscripts.  On the node that i want to run this script on I right-clicked and hit edit agent's config.  I added the following line:

ExternalParameter = MyAVCheck:c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //Nologo "C:\myscripts\avscript.vbs"

I hit save and apply.  Also restarted service on the node I was working with.


I have ran

c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //Nologo "C:\myscripts\avscript.vbs"

from a command prompt and it returns the correct value.


I then right-click my node and select Data Collection.  Right-click again and select New.  Hit the select button under the Data/Parameter section with NetXMS agent selected in the dropdown box.  I do not see the MyAVCheck.  How do i start collecting the value from this script?

I am using 1.0.10 console and 1.0.10 agent for windows.

I looked at the documentation and apparently I can't seem to follow along to correctly set up a Windows Event Log monitoring process.  I was wondering if someone could walk me thru setting up a monitor for Event ID 538 in the Security log. I don't know if it makes a difference but it is for Windows 2008 R2 and 2003 servers.  I am using 1.0.10 console and clients.

Thanks in advance.

I have a slight problem with using ServiceCheck.HTTP.  I am using 1.0.9 Console and 1.0.9 agent which is installed on a WinXP machine.  When I use the following string it works fine

someIP,80,/index.html,someURL,"^HTTP/1\.[01] 200.*"

where someIP is the IP of the someURL.  This will actually work correctly and if I change index.html to index2.html I get the correct response.  If I use the following string the agent ends unexpectedly.

someIP,80,/index.html,someURL,"^HTTP/1\.[01] 200.*randomWord.*"

where randomWord is located on index.html.  I just want to check for a random word located on the webpage.  Is the above the wrong syntax?

I am monitoring about 10 machines so far.  For the most part I am not having a problem.  I just rebooted each of the 10 machines.  I have a problem with two of them.  80% of the machines have dual nics.  Each nic is on a different subnet.  Let's say 10.1.1.x for one nic and 10.1.2.x for the other nic.  I had just two machines, upon a reboot, not give me a node down status.  Instead, I got a Minor warning and the message was Interface "Local Area Connection 2" changed state to DOWN (IP Addr: 10.1.2.x/255.255.255.0, IfIndex:12)  This nic is not set as the primary (dont know if that makes a difference or not).  I would like a node down instead of this warning.  How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Under the server config I changed DiscoveryPollingInterval to 3600 and it now fires an email after being down for a minute (default was for 4 minutes).  Hopefully this was correct.

Have a node that is a VM on a Hyper-V box.  When I shut the node down, it takes a good five minutes or so for NetXMS to actually diagnose that the node is down.  Is there a way to fix this?  Also, when a node is down should not all the DCIs show as down?  This is a new Windows install.

Seems the Up email works now.  I guess I didnt save it.  Now my only question is about having the alarms show up under the alarms tab for the node, instead of the master event log.

Another question, if a node goes offline and I am monitoring 20 services, will i get an email on each one?  Or is there a way to make the 20 monitored services dependant on the node being up?

Thanks
