NetXMS Support Forum

since this wouldnt be recommend then is it almost better to create a dedicated server for these device that need to be polled more frequently and only forward the up down events to the main server as to get as much of a realtime status as possible ?  Or would i still be limited to the polling frequency of the main server ? for instance if i create a server and have it poll icmp every 10 seconds and send that back to the main server will i only find out about that after the 60 second poll  on the main server kicks in  or would it be more of an instant status update from the slave server ..

What is the difference betweem nxapush and nxpush

I figured it out but i dont think this will work for me because once i remove icmp polling the node shows down ... is there any way to tell the server to prefer my script and not send its own icmp and only rely on the script to provide up down status ?

Ok so i know i can send a nxevent  but when i send nxevent -d  -u admin -P pass 192.168.0.180 '100035'   i get invalid object id

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
