NetXMS Support Forum

Is it possible to use more complex wmi queries ad DCI's ?

For example something like

WMI.Query(root\CIMV2,select * FROM Win32_Service WHERE Name = 'ApacheTomcatApplicationServer',status)

Thankyou to any assistance some can provide


kindest regards

Hi ,

I have been playing with netxms for a few weeks now and am ready to test it out at a different location , what I can't seem to find the answer to though is what is best practice for managing multiple Sites from a central location .

What I am trying to avoid is a poll on 70+ servers constantly happening across vpn site link, to make the system happy to run that way I would have to ease back on some of my security which I am not willing to do for the sake of monitoring.

I noticed a hint of hope that I am wondering if someone can confirm for me. Duing the server install you are asked for the master server name ,  for your first install you obiously put that as the localhost , however if your trying to achive what i am could I just put in the address of the original Netxms Server ?

  My thinking is that if I can have the agents at that site polled by a local netxms server which reports back to my master server then it would be a far more efficient way of managing my network.

Anyone have any thoughts views , suggestions etc ? am sure I am not the first to hope and use the product in this manner
