NetXMS Support Forum

Hi Victor,

does this option also apply to access to the Windows event log?

Maybe it's same behaviour (for Windows systems) as described here:

https://www.netxms.org/forum/installation/install-agent-2-2-1-fails/msg23469/#msg23469


For me i stopped shedule and eventlog services and starter afterwards. After that, i can install NetXMS Agent.

sc stop NetXMSAgentdW32
sc stop Schedule
sc stop eventlog
sc start eventlog
sc start Schedule

After that running the NetXMS installer.

We are trying to upgrade agents running at V2.1.2

Hello @all,

if i want to install the Agent 2.2.1 (x64) there are several error messages (please see the attachments). after i quit the installer i take a look at the process explorer (please see attachment).

Here i can see an open handle or file access from the svchost.exe at the nxagent.exe (NetXMS service was quit before).  I can't restart the windows eventlog service in cause of the dependency from scheduler. I could only install the agent after a server reboot.

My first idea: We use NetXMS to trigger an alarm from windows event log with the logwatch subagent. Could there be the problem?

At the moment i tried at 4x Servers (Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit) to install NetXMS Agent. Two via NetXMS Package Manager and two via a manual execution of the agent installer. On all system i have the same behaviour.

Is there anything i can do?

Hello @all,

if i run a configuratoin poll at a node (Windows Server 2008 R2, 64bit, NetXMS Agent 2.1.2) NetXMS can not read the Windows Performance Counters list. The configuration poll shows the follwing info:

[09.11.2017 08:12:12] **** Poll request sent to server ****

The DCI's from this node based on "Windows Performance Counters" are all functional and i can (manually) create new DCIs based on "Windows Performance Counters". But if i want to create a DCI based on "Windows Performance Counters" and use the "Select" button (DCI Properties Windows > General > Data Parameter) the following Windows ("Select Performance Counters") is empty.

We have this behaviour at 3/4 of all our Windows nodes. For the rest of our servers, the Windows Performance Counter query works without problems. All Machines are VMWare VM's, Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit, Updates/Patches are up to date.

We use NetXMS V2.1.2 (Server and Agent). We use NetXMS since V1.0.27. Unfortunately, I can't tell exactly from which version or event (NetXMS Version, Windows Update, etc.) the Windows Performance Counters are not working anymore.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Eriks,

thanks for the hint. I set the access rights at "infrastrukture services" and it works... :-)

Thanks a lot ...

Hello @all,

every time i want to do a snmp walk with the mib-explorer i get the error message " 'Walk MIB tree' has encountered a problem. Cannot do SNMP MIB tree walk: Access Denied". I get this error everytime at every node i want to do a tree walk.

Using NetXMS V2.1.2.

What can i do? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Victor,

thanks for the clarification.

Hello @all,

i use the following script as automatic apply rule in a template (NetXMS V2.1.2):


if ( (! $node->isAgent) && (! $node->platformName ~= "windows.*") ) return false;

table = AgentReadTable($node, "System.Services");
if ( table == null ) return false;

colName = table->getColumnIndex("NAME");
for (currentRow = 0; currentRow < table->rowCount; currentRow++)
{
if ( table->get(currentRow, colName) == "DNS" ) return true;
}

return false;



Everytime the script is processed automaticly at a node the following event is thrown:

   Script (Template::Server Service DNS::730) execution error: Error 4 in line 1: Bad arithmetic conversion

but the script is proccessed correctly.


If i create this script in script library and test the script with "Execute Server Script" with a node, there is no error...

Where is my fault?  Thanks for helping me...

Hello Victor,

thanks for the examples. I changed as described and it worked. Thanks.

Best regards,
Marco

Actual theses are the policies:


"Agent Master Windows" policie:

<config>
   <agent>
      <MasterServers>XX.XX.XX.XX</MasterServers>
      <ConfigIncludeDir>C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d</ConfigIncludeDir>
      <LogFile>{syslog}</LogFile>
      <FileStore>C:\NetXMS\var</FileStore>
      <SubAgent>winperf.nsm</SubAgent>
   </agent>
</config>



"Agent Config Eventlog Windows" policie:

<config>
   <agent>
      <SubAgent>logwatch.nsm</SubAgent>
   </agent>
   <logwatch>
      <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_system_parser.xml</Parser>
      <Parser>c:\netxms\var\logwatch_win_eventlog_application_parser.xml</Parser>
   </logwatch>
</config>



In the "Agent Config Eventlog Windows" i tried to change the <agent> in <core>. This results in a agent crash and the logwatch subagent are still not showing, so i reverted back to <agent>.

In which section i must change the <agent> in <core>?


Best regards,

Hello @all,

since 2.1 the groups feature in performance tab is new designed. Since that change, the order field/function of dci's performance tabs is not working.

It makes a difference in order for the performance tab if a dci is belonging to a group or not. The order no 200 is sorted between dci's with a order no <200. I made the performance tab config in multiple templates.

I fill the order no field in each dci belonging to a group with the same order no. Is this correct?

Have anyone else this problem/behaviour?

With the config in my first post (with <agent>)  nxagentd.exe -C  shows:

+- filemgr
     +- RootFolder
          value: c:\

In the subagentlist of the management console only the winnt and winperf subagents are showing (see attachment, please).

I test the eventlog with:   eventcreate /T ERROR /ID 1000 /L APPLICATION /D "TestError"
