NetXMS Support Forum

Thanks tolimanjo. That limited it, but it seems that I can't call the variable interface.name for the display name.

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a template that collects port negotiation rates on Mikrotik devices. I get the info that I want on physical ports, but I get 0 results on virtual interfaces. I would like to filter out virtual interfaces so DCIs are not being created.

transport = CreateSNMPTransport($node);
if (transport == null)
 return false;
// get the interface name to return as instance-name
vb = SNMPGet(transport, ".1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1." .. $1);
if (vb == null) or (vb == 0)
 return false;
// filter out loopback
if (vb.value == "lo")
 return false;
return %(true, $1, vb.value);

I've tried using contains(vb.value, "vlan") on the bottom statement, but that just breaks the script.

Quite a few of these cameras were added to NetXMS when they were already offline. They then all polled down as they were checking for SNMP. I terminated the first alarms as I knew they didn't have SNMP functionality, but I have been unable to get them to change status based on ICMP either. They have also been offline since addition so I figure that would be why their status is not changing. 

It is indeed.

So it looks like ICMP status check updates for cameras that were added when they were online.

I suspect that this is due to certain cameras being down when they were first added, but I would like for them to show down even if they never polled up when first added.

Hello,

I am trying to monitor network security cameras that have no SNMP functionality. I set the objects to use ICMP to determine node status, but the objects don't generate alarms even though they are offline. I tried resetting the alarms using the link below:


https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Reseting_state_of_all_alarms_and_node_statuses

Cameras showing 100% ICMP packet loss show as normal and don't have any alarms even after alarm status reset. Any suggestions?

It works beautifully now. Thank you so much, Filipp!

Thanks, Filipp. That got me farther.

  Hey Filipp,

I didn't notice your response to this nearly 2 years ago. I don't know if this table structure is still useful, but it is what is exported from the Dude device list.

Notes

I was revisiting this thread as I was trying to bulk import older devices we weren't previously monitoring into our NetXMS deployment. I figured that I could re-use this script, but I am running into errors now when I try to use it.

SyntaxError: no viable alternative at input 'admin'

Thanks Victor - that did it!

Thanks, Amay. I tried using the Script Library method, but the message is not displaying anything before the node macro.

%[GetContainerName]%n is unresponsive - %a

UVC G3Ext 2 is unresponsive - 10.1.110.166

Hello all,

I would like to add the container name of a node to an alarm message, but I am not quite sure how to go about it. Any suggestions?

Thanks Amay!

My problem was that I didn't realize that the last digit was the index for the interface that I wanted to monitor. I can pull proper results for the individual DCI. I just need to figure out how to setup a template to automatically pull these values.

Hello,

I am trying to setup DCIs to collect SFP transmit and receive power values for Mikrotik switches and routers and am running into some trouble. I used the SNMP Walk tool to search for the right OID, but didn't see the right OID listed. I then googled the correct OID and tried creating a DCI with that OID, but my DCI isn't collecting proper values - just zeroes.

I would really appreciate any direction anyone could provide. Thanks!
