DCI Parameters

Notes on using particular DCIs

ChildStatus

ChildStatus can be used to check status of child items of the nodes, particularly:

1. Network Service
2. Interface

While using ChildStatus to check status of the interface, keep in mind, that depending on the device/vendor object ID of the interface might change between the configuration polls. For Cisco switches there's way to preserve ifIndex for the interfaces using snmp-server ifindex persist command (read more about that on Interface Index (ifIndex) Persistence)

PS: This might require entering command in interface (rather than global) context.

PPS: Not sure if works everywhere... write mib-data might be needed as well

SNMP Instance Discovery

Let's say we want to collect status of all interfaces on a node.

Put OID of interest in "Parameter" field on "General" tab with {instance} suffix (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.{instance}).

Put something meaningful in "Description" filed on "General" tab, use {instance-name} macro to make this human-readable ("Interface status ({instance-name})").

Go to "Instance Discovery" tab.

Pick "SNMP Walk - Values" as discovery method.

Pick proper base OID as described in Creating SNMP table DCI (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1).

Add instance discovery filter script:

snmp = CreateSNMPTransport($node);
ifName = SNMPGetValue(snmp,".1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2." . $1);
return %((ifType==6), $1, ifName);

Node interface

Notes on working with node interfaces

Parameters

Required poll count

NetXMS will consider interface down only after given number of unsuccessful polls.

Event Processing Policy

SYS_* Events

Please note, that as part of internal event correlation, no SYS_* events processed from the node after receiving SYS_NODE_DOWN event, until SYS_NODE_NORMAL received from that node. However, custom events processed just fine even after SYS_NODE_DOWN event.

Macros for Event Processing

Note, that different set of macros available for Activation and De-activation of alarms. For example, if you use unique DCI ID for alarm generation (%5), you should use different macro to de-activate this alarm (%3)

NXSL scripting

Referring scripts from Script Library

Calling scripts from Script Library:

myVariable=Name::In::Script::Library/functionName

Event Processing Policy

Calling Script Library scripts from Action in Event Processing Policy:

%[Name::In::Script::Library/functionName]

NB: you can not pass any parameters when calling scripts from EPP Actions, however you have access to $event and $node object
