NetXMS Support Forum

 Is there any way to set a threshold for received traps or alarms ? We have a few switches where the connected devices sometimes will have a faulty power supply and will randomly cause the device to constantly reboot causing the port to go up and down generating  SNMP_LINK_UP  SNMP_LINK_DOWN  traps.  I would like to generate an alarm/notification if there are say 10 or more back to back up down events received within 5min to notify me that the port is flapping. I think this would be useful to be able to do the same for certain alarms due to some alarms can trigger then rearm on the next check and can sometimes be easily missed.

Thanks.. 

the following worked for me  all published messages did go to the recipient as a topic 
Hostname = x.x.x.x
Port = 1883
Login = ""
Password = ""

Looked in the docs and did not see any information on setting up the driver. Is there any other documentation on setting this up ?  I am assuming we can now publish to a mqtt topic which is somthing I have been waiting for. 

What os are you using ?  Looks like the database is postgres.  Are you able to login via psql 

It it possible to get  access to Netxms raw data for Grafana queries ? I am currently using timescale and I would like to show metrics on total number of devices total number of critical alarms and so forth.  This more of a dummy board for the higher ups so at  a glance they can gauge an over all health status. It does not look like custom queries can be performed.  But it would be a nice addition if we can query data we are interested in assuming we know the schema of the netxms database 


Thanks 

I have had the issue with several different versions of Netxms.  Its frustrating after spending larges amounts to time creating a map layout then to save and when you open it back up at a later time about half of the items are clumped up and all pushed to the up left corner 

Yes,  That's correct I was trying to get the hierarchy from a single core switch interface.  I was trying to see if that was possible but it looks like I would have to do  some sort of recursive function and step through each peer and its interfaces.  Any pointers would be much apperciated.


Thanks

Is it possible to filter by interface on topology map ?  We have 48 Port core switch that has around 20 devices connected to each port so a topology map is pretty much a big blob of devices that span out from the core.  I would like to be able just include say interface Gi1/0/1 and whatever devices that span out from that particular interface.



Thanks

Got it makes sense... Thank you so much   I have been using netxms for over 4 years and I am still amazed how flexible this software is.

Is it possible to show critical status only when the node is actually down and not responding to ICMP or SNMP  ?  I have several switches that I have listed on maps and status maps that show critical only because a single port is down I would much rather show Minor or Major when a port goes down since for me  a port down is really not critical  if the switch still has connectivity. I have tried setting the status calculation on all ports to fixed major thinking that  would help but when the switch does go down it now will only show major and not critical


Thanks

Is it possible to graph the ICMP packet loss and Response times shown in Object Details -> Overview      I have tried adding the internal ICMP ping to{instance}:packet loss  and last response time to my Data Collection Configuration but they both just error out.



Thanks

current version is 4.1.377   We have a layer2 redundant loop in our network and needed to break the loop by shutting down one of the switch interfaces temporarily. However netxms never updates the topology to reflect the broken loop even after two days its still shows the link connected between the two switches when interface details on both switches shows the interface as down.  I would expect the link to be removed after a topology poll was completed showing the loop broken in the middle where the interfaces are down. Is this normal or do I have to do something to force an update.


Thanks

Does netxms now support netflow ?   looking at the build options for  4.1.377 i see   --with-flow-collector  is this just experimental ?


Thanks

Trying to build from source fails with the following

OS: Debian Buster
here is my config     ./configure --with-server --with-client --with-snmp --with-pgsql --with-agent --with-client-proxy --with-vmgr

Can you connect to the instance remotely via SQL Management Studio.  I believe you have to allow  remote access and make sure its able to listen on the default 1433 port
