    @dang said in Android console app question: Hi Marco, Thanks for replying! I do indeed get the connection failed message - my bad. I guess I expected it to be more prominent while setting things up (maybe a popup error?). BTW, as I was testing things to reply I discovered that if I change the server name (I use an IP address) the new value is not being used. I need to "disconnect & exit" and restart the app to make the new value take effect (changing the name or password does work immediately). Looking forward to the next version Dan Issue #239 solved, regarding the notification of the connection error you have also info in the status bar if you enable it. Regarding the changing of server address, I guess that the behaviour is due because there is no force disconnect of current session after changing the parameters. I've added the issue to the bugratcker: https://www.radensolutions.com/chiliproject/issues/241 Best regards, Marco

    oh, I think I discovered what was happening. I disabled active discovery yesterday but only after I rebooted the server today, this traffic stopped. so indeed it seems the settings do work on the node and I was just fooled with running active discovery.

    NetXMS cluster configuration

    Just wanted to share how to configure a NetXMS cluster (on Ubuntu in my case). I've used DRBD + Corosync + Pacemaker to do this, the underlying database is PostgreSQL, although it is not much different for any other database. I won't describe how to configure DRBD and Corosync here, there are a lot of materials in the Web about this. I used this http://wiki.postgresql.org/images/0/07/Ha_postgres.pdf, it is very thorough. Only change that I did, is that I restarted corosync on both nodes after configuration. So assume you configured DRBD and have NetXMS installed. First you need to get netxms LSB-compatible init script. Good that it is already exist in the .deb packages on the site. We just need to make some changes in it (I attached the script to the post). Add -e to the DAEMON_ARGS parameter like this DAEMON_ARGS="-d -e -D 5". -e option will automatically unlock the database locked by previous primary server. Change path to the netxmsd in the DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/$NAME Now that init script is ready place it in the /etc/init.d/ . Don't forget to make it executable (chmod +x /etc/init.d/netxmsd) With that done we can create a crm primitive for netxms: crm configure primitive netxmsd_lsb lsb:netxmsd \ op monitor interval="30" timeout="60" \ op start interval="0" timeout="60" \ op stop interval="0" timeout="60" \ meta target-role="Started" This primitive needs to be added to our crm group. That is easy. user@cluster#crm crm(live)# cib new fixgroup crm(live)# configure delete PGServer crm(live)# configure group PGServer pg_lvm pg_fs pg_lsb pg_vip netxmsd_lsb crm(live)# cib commit fixgroup crm(live)# quit And that's all. You have working NetXMS cluster now. netxmsd

    Hi! Try to wait for some time. Sometimes it took few topology polling cycles for server to discover all necessary information. You can also try to do topology poll on your switches manually (by selecting Poll -> Topology from context menu on switch object). If you still not able to get connection point information for node, check that it's really in switch forwarding database - right click on switch object, select Tools -> Info -> Switch forwarding database from switch object context menu, and check that node's MAC address is really there. Best regards, Victor

    Hi! In 1.2.5, web interface is completely different. nxhttpd is no longer used, and you don't need it. You can just delete it - it's a leftover from 1.1.6. For 1.2.5 web interface, you should install Jetty or Tomcat and deploy web UI war file, as described here: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Web_Interface_Installation_Guide. Best regards, Victor

    You can use custom filtering script instead of basic filters. Filtering script takes object of class NewNode (http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/NXSL:NewNode) as first argument and should return TRUE to accept new node or FALSE to reject it. More information about scripting you can find in our wiki: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Scripting_Guide. Looks like it's not possible to check sysName of new node, only sysObjectId. I'll add more properties, it's easy. Best regards, Victor

    Hi! Actually, event log tells you the same: that there are no description for the message. Looks like Snort don't register event source correctly. Quick search gives couple of people with same problem but no solution. I would suggest to reconfigure Snort to send it's log to text file instead of WIndows Event Log, and capture events from that text log file. Best regards, Victor

    Crash Dumps on Windows Server 1.2.5

    Hi, We've been having crashes similar to these for quite some time (from v1.2.0 up to v1.2.5) on windows 2003 x86. I'm curious if we're having the same problem. Are there multiple events from the NetXMS Agent in the event log, starting minutes up to hours before the actual crash, with the message: Communication session broken: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the mote host. or does the server act strangely before crashing (slow response, node statuses changing to unknown, failing to show graphs/history, ...)? In our case, I've never been able to pick anything useful out of the server logfile or the crash dumps, possibly because the logs fill up very quickly and memory corruption can take place long before the server actually tries to use the corrupted memory and crashes. How often does your server crash? The rate at which the problem occurs seems tied in with queue lengths and memory usage in general. When we had large database writer queue lengths (> 100,000) the server was crashing 2-3 times a day, but after improving database performance somewhat (more database writers etc) it's now down to every 2-3 weeks. I'm also hoping https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/out-of-memory-netxms-v1-2-5/ is related to this problem, as on linux there's the chance that valgrind might catch the culprit. Kind regards, bdefloo

    Hi! I'll try to reproduce it today. As a workaround, you may try to use odbc.ddr instead of mssql.ddr, but in that case you'll have to create database and db user manually. Best regards, Victor
