NetXMS Support Forum

Hi!

Because your application written in Java, in process list you will see only a bunch of Java VM processes. If you don't have some API to determine if your application is still running, I see the only way is to determine full command line for each of your applications, and if they are differs, then you are lucky and can monitor if each application is running by using Process.CountEx parameters.

Hello!

You should configure nxagent.sms as your SMS driver on server, and as SMSDrvConfig, set IP address of NetXMS agent where phone is attached.
On agent, you should load sms.nsm subagent, and set port for phone communication via Device parameter in SMS section. For example, for phone connected on COM1:


# main section here
SubAgent = sms.nsm

*SMS
Device = COM1:

Yes, but only on Windows. To add USB UPS, use the following syntax:

Device = 1:ANY:USB

if you have only one USB UPS attached, and

Device = 1:<UPS serial number here>:USB

if you have multiple USB devices.

You have to edit conf files if you wish to execute commands remotely via NetXMS agent. In that case you should add appropriate Action entries in agent configuration files.

Hello!

To run command on management server itself, you don't need to change server's configuration file. You just need to specify your executable under "Command". If you wish to run .bat or .cmd file, you may need to use form of

cmd.exe /C <your_cmd>

Executable can be located anywhere, but if it is not in system PATH, you should add full path to it when defining action.

Hi!

Your setup is very impressive It was a pleasure to read your post

The idea of pushing events between the servers is very good and helpful. Is there a other way to transfer values?

Not yet (except action + push mechanism you already using). I plan to add support for full-scale distributed monitoring, event forwarding is a first step in this direction.

Is the Event processing the only way of setting the Situation attributes?

Yes.

Quote from: borislavl on January 29, 2010, 08:38:35 PM
Can we for example do something like: s->status = "updated" (s - situation)?

Not yet. But it's very easy to implement, so I'll add it until next release.

Can we see the current Situation attribute state in NetXMS console?

Yes, via View -> Situation. You should see situations - instances - attributes tree.

Is there a way to change Custom Atributes?

Only manually via console, or by writing your own tool via C or Java API.

Can we send parameters to the actions?

Yes (I suppose you mean actions on agents). In action definition you can use placeholders $1, $2, etc. - they will be replaced by appropriate parameter. Parameters should be separated by space - like for calling external command. For example, you can define on agent:

Action = Test:echo $1

and on server define remote action like

Test "%n"

Of course, if security is not a concern, you can define "universal" action like this:

Action = Execute:$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

and then just use any command you want without defining additional actions, like

Execute /my_script "%n" "%m"

Can we write DCI value to a file (using actions)?

Yes. You can call action with a parameter with macro expansion using NXSL, and access DCI data for current node as usual.

Hello!

Unfortunatelly, answers to all questions is "no". However, they all looks useful, so I will add them to feature request list.

Hi!

For example, we want to send email for every critical event in Windows "Application" event log. To achieve that, we should:

1. Create new event in NetXMS (via Control Panel -> Events). Remember ID assigned to new event. For example, let's call our new event EVENTLOG_ERROR and assume that ID 100001 was assigned to it. Set message template to

ERROR: %1

2. Create parser configuration file. To generate event with code 100001 on each error message it will looks like following:

<parser>
  <file>*Application</file>
  <rules>
    <rule>
      <severity>1</severity>
      <match>(.*)</match>
      <event params="1">100001</event>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</parser>

3. Configure LogWatch subagent:

in main section of nxagentd.conf:
SubAgent = logwatch.nsm

in LogWatch section:
*LogWatch
Parser = our_parser_file.xml

4. Restart agent

5. Add appropriate rule to event processing policy (send e-mail for each EVENTLOG_ERROR event)

That's all - now server should send e-mails for every error message written to application event log.

Hello!

You have to configure UPS subagent. Add to agent's configuration file the following:

in main section:

SubAgent = ups.nsm


at the end of file:

*UPS
Device = 1:"COM1:":APC

Replace COM1 with actual port name. If your have UPS other than APC, change communication protocol to BCMXCP or MICRODOWELL, depending on what your UPS supports. Restart agent.

After that, you'll be able to collect information about UPS. All parameters require device id, which is set to 1 in our example.

Hi!

First, you have to specify your requirement in more details. How status of your application can be monitored? Do you have a script or command line tool which returns current status of your application?

Victor

Hello!

I've fixed this problem in next release. For building 0.2.31, replace line 339 in file net.cpp (it should looks like


if (rti_info[RTAX_DST] != NULL && !(rtm->rtm_flags & RTF_WASCLONED))


) with


if (rti_info[RTAX_DST] != NULL)

You can download it at https://www.netxms.org/download/dev/scilexer.lib.

I check my setup - i have two different scilexer.lib for some reasons. One of them contains these functions (and looks like static library), other are not (and looks like import library for scilexer.dll). Check what scilexer.lib you are linking.

Hi!

Snapshots does not contain configure script - it is created as part of distribution preparation. In the root of NetXMS source tree there are script called reconf which will create configure - but you must have autoconf, automake, and libtool installed.
