NetXMS Support Forum

Is it possible to cause a node to show as down from an external nxpush event ?   My reasoning for this is that we have lots of critical nodes that i would like to monitor less than the 60 sec interval for instance ping every 10 seconds or liess and I dont want to do this on the server because im sure decreasing the status interval to 10 seconds would cause the server to burst into flames  ... but i would like to create a script that could do that and then send the results back to netxms say 0=ok  and 1=down     and have it create and alarm and just like it would if netxms was doing the ICMP requests..  I have experimented with nxpush and it seems i can only provide 0 - 4   from Warning to Critical but never a sys_node_down event

Thanks

ok so i took your mibs folder created a seperate folder inside and moved each troubled mib in untill it compiled without errors so basically for what ever reason these mibs are causeing issues not sure if you need these but BRCD_REG looks like a duplicate...

BRCD_NOS_PRODUCTS.txt  BRCD_REG.txt  FOUNDRY-SN-NOTIFICATION.txt

Base = 120 
previous max = 240 restarted server
previous max =1200 restarted server
current Max  = 2500  restarted server

my starting max was 240 so i gradually increased it to its current 2500 witch is  well over 1/10 the amount of nodes. And its seems to always give that same error no matter how much i increase its but the usage did go from 99 down to 43

Server thread pool POLLERS: usage = 42
Server thread pool POLLERS: load average (1 minute) = 32.141113
Server thread pool POLLERS: current size = 1066
Server thread pool POLLERS: current load = 6

Can someone elaborate on the following error ?  Looking at the server load itself its consistently at about 0.22

Compiled fine for me.. Try the attached mibs..  Also one thing ive noticed is the mibs wont get picked up if they dont have the .txt extension I doubt that was your issue though

Some MIBS have dependencies so Im guessing you will also need to add Brocade-REG-MIB into the mibs folder as well and recompile

ok so far so good I pretty much wiped the original server which had Ubuntu 12.04 and installed to latest version and installled  percona server again and after doing a little tuning it seems to be doing great Im currently at 900 nodes and it hasnt skipped a beat I will slowly add more nodes at a time and see when I start to see issues but I think it was just a lot of bad mojo that needed to be wiped out .. Ive used this as a test server for a lot of things so I think it was time..  Im just curious as to what is the max number of nodes anyone has used netxms for in a production environment and what type of server etc... was used

Is it possible to add a feature where each device type is at its own layer on the world map and topology map so that when viewing you can select which devices you want to view.. Its gets pretty crowded when you have lots of devices which have lots of connected devices and you only want to see one type of device.. It would also be nice if you could right click on a node and select to either show in map or show in topology and it would take you to and pinpoint that device in either of those layouts

Still nothing... at this point I cant really trust what netxms is telling me every time a node shows down I can still ping can communicate with

OK I'll give that a shot how many nodes do you monitor... and howe often do you poll for status

got it ... Thank you for taking the time to explain

but if a node has multiple methods which methods generate a node down alarm ? so say icmp works fine but for some reason the snmp agent does not repond   does netxms still consider the node up

I have read and watch serveral videos and Im trying to wrap my head around netxms polling methods and how it determines if a node is up or down.  In 1.27 I noticed a status DCI which to my understanding was a basic ICMP check now in 2.0 I dont see that created so what is the process ?  does it depend on if the capabilites of the device ?   If it finds a device that doesnt have an agent or doesnt have snmp  does it continually try these methods when running checks in the future ?  and if a device does have snmp what method does it use to determin status both icmp and snmp or just snmp  .......sorry for long post   

netxms 2.0   ubuntu 12.10

forgot to mention it takes about two minutes or so for the server to even start and after that I get a hole bunch of events complaining about nodes being down in the gui
