NetXMS Support Forum

First, let me thank you for adding the service list and table support.  I do have a few questions regarding this feature.  First, how can I ignore a specific service.  For instance, I want to alert when a service that has a startup of auto does not equal the state of running.  But I also need to be able to ignore specific services, example the service Software Protection has a startup of auto but doesn't always have the state of running.

The last question is when sending an alert email what is the proper Message text to get the actual service name that stopped running and to list the state of that service?

Is it possible to alert on a string difference?  For example, I have created a script that gives an output of all windows services set to automatic not running.  If all services are running it will output "OK."  If there are services not running it outputs the displaynames of those services.

Unless there is a better way to monitor all services short of manually putting them in.

Is it possible to require no authentication for the webui?  The goal is to just show a few dashboards to the public.  OR if it is possible to tie into AD and use SSO.

I am trying to get a powershell script to run but I am receiving a communication error.  I have a folder on my test host called c:\scripts with two .ps1 files.  I have the following on the test host's config:

ExternalParameter = Testing:"C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "C:\Scripts\testing.ps1"
ExternalParameter = Testing2:"C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "C:\Scripts\testing2.ps1"


Testing returns a value but Testing2 produces a communication error.  I have ran testing2.ps1 on the local machine and it returns a value.  I have also ran the testing2.ps1 off of the machine hosting the netxms console.



testing2.ps1

$a = Get-Counter -Computername valandil -Counter "\Network Interface(my adapter goes here)\Bytes Total/sec" -sampleinterval 1 | ForEach-Object{$_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue}
$b = Get-Counter -Computername valandil -Counter "\Network Interface(my second adapter goes here)\Bytes Total/sec" -sampleinterval 1 | ForEach-Object{$_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue}

$ab = $a+$b
$ab = "{0:F0}" -f $ab
$ab



I have a need to take two perfmon counters and add them for a single value.  How can I fix the communication issue OR is there a way two add two counters together a different way?

Windows 2012 server with netxms netxms-1.2.6-x64.exe installed to C:\NetXMS and netxms-webui-1.2.6-x64.exe installed to C:\NetXMSInterwebs on port 80.  When I navigate to http:\\netxmsserver I get redirected to http://netxmsserver/nxmc with a gray gradient background but nothing else.  no login page.  I have tried IE10 and FF and both have the same result.  what am I missing?

I have one instance of NetXMS version 1.2.4 running a servicecheck.http of ServiceCheck.HTTP(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,80,"^HTTP/1\.[01]") and it returns a value of 0.

On a different server I have an instance of NetXMS version 1.2.5 running a servicecheck.http of ServiceCheck.HTTP(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,80,"^HTTP/1\.[01]") and it returns a value of 3.

What exactly am I missing?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a note I am checking the same site on both servers and the site is up and running.

Is it possible to do the following when a node goes down?

ServerA nodes goes down, send an email to userA.

ServerB nodes goes down, send an email to userA and userB.

Running 1.2.0 Console and agents.

First question, I have a WMI Query WMI.Query(root\cimv2,"select * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_PhysicalDisk Where Name = '_total'",DiskWriteBytesPersec) and it yields results but yet when I try to graph this DCI I get a flat line of 0.

Second question, is it possible to monitor all windows services that are set to "automatic" and if any are not started to get an alert.  I believe Nagios does something like this.

Third question, I would really like to try out the reporting, is there an example somewhere?

Using NetXMS 1.0.12 Server with a mix of 1.0.12 and 1.1.4 agents.

When a rearm email is sent is it possible to include the threshold value and the actual value?  If so, how?

I have two actions that are set to email me, one upon failure and one on success.

The email subject for the failure works correct.  The subject line is as follows:
LOW MEMORY:  On %t, total ram being used is %4%% on %n.

This returns LOW MEMORY: On today'sdate, total ram being used is 99% on mynode.


The email subject for the success doesnt work so well.  The subject line is as follows:
MEMORY GOOD:  On %t, total ram being used is %4%% on %n.

This returns MEMORY GOOD: On today'sdate, total ram being used is % on mynode.


why does %4 not work on success?  On success I would like to know what the current value is.

Installed 1.1.5 on a win7 box with sql 2008 r2.  The only box I am trying to monitor is the one running Netxms Core.  I try to edit the agent config and get "The chosen operation is not enabled."  I try to make a DCI with Origin being NetXMS Agent and then I hit the Select button under Parameter and nothing populates under available parameters.  Doing a configuration poll does not return the agent version but yet yields no errors.  What do I need to configure to see the parameters under the agent?

I looked at the documentation and apparently I can't seem to follow along to correctly set up a Windows Event Log monitoring process.  I was wondering if someone could walk me thru setting up a monitor for Event ID 538 in the Security log. I don't know if it makes a difference but it is for Windows 2008 R2 and 2003 servers.  I am using 1.0.10 console and clients.

Thanks in advance.

I am monitoring about 10 machines so far.  For the most part I am not having a problem.  I just rebooted each of the 10 machines.  I have a problem with two of them.  80% of the machines have dual nics.  Each nic is on a different subnet.  Let's say 10.1.1.x for one nic and 10.1.2.x for the other nic.  I had just two machines, upon a reboot, not give me a node down status.  Instead, I got a Minor warning and the message was Interface "Local Area Connection 2" changed state to DOWN (IP Addr: 10.1.2.x/255.255.255.0, IfIndex:12)  This nic is not set as the primary (dont know if that makes a difference or not).  I would like a node down instead of this warning.  How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Have a node that is a VM on a Hyper-V box.  When I shut the node down, it takes a good five minutes or so for NetXMS to actually diagnose that the node is down.  Is there a way to fix this?  Also, when a node is down should not all the DCIs show as down?  This is a new Windows install.

I am testing out NetXMS and so far I like it.  I do have a couple of questions.  I have set up a DCI for a random service.  This part works.  0 for service is running and 6 for service is down.  Under Thresholds for this DCI I have added one threshold with the following settings:

last polled value
1 samples
will be equal to 6

if true "sys_service_down"
when becomes false "sys_service_up"

use default settings


Under actions I created two new actions.  One is Service Down set to email me.  One is called Service Up which is also set to email me.

Under the Event Processing Policy for the event "sys_service_down/sys_service_unknown" I added the action service down (the action to email me).

Under the Event Processing Policy for the event "sys_service_up" I added the action service up (the action to email me).



When the service goes down, I get a red dot to the side of the node and I get my service down email.  When the service goes back up the red dot goes away and I do NOT get an email. 

I have two questions.  First how do I get NetXMS to email me once the service comes back up.  Second, instead of having the event go into the master event log, how do i get it to show up under the alarm for that node?  I have looked in the manual and there doesnt appear to be any examples.  Any help would be appreciated.


Will there be reporting any time in the future?
