As an addition, short instruction on how to modify default NetXMS server address in war file before deployment: * Extract file WEB-INF\plugins\org.netxms.webui.core_version.jar from nxmc.war * Extract file org\netxms\webui\core\nxmc.properties from extracted jar file * Change server property in nxmc.properties file * Pack everything back (also available in wiki: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Web_Interface_Installation_Guide#Installing_web_interface_on_remote_system) Best regards, Victor

Hi, Does anybody here have a sysV iniscript for running the agent as a daemon on startup, and allowing interaction with it using chkconfig?. I managed to install the agent on Linux, juts some easy tips: Install make, gcc and  gcc-c++: #yum update && yum install make gcc gcc-c++ Follow the manual for UNIX here: http://goo.gl/9EmNd Add an iptables Exception: a) vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables. b) Add the following line just after the SNMP exception: -A INPUT --protocol tcp --dport 4700 -j ACCEPT This is a dump of my iptables' config file first few lines: # Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT --protocol udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT --protocol tcp --dport 4700 -j ACCEPT Add startup services (courtesy of Victor): http://goo.gl/9LoVq here are startup files in source tree under contrib/startup/redhat. Copy netxmsd and nxagentd to /etc/init.d, and run chkconfig --add nxagentd chkconfig --add netxmsd [li] Run the service: #service nxagentd start Regards. EDIT: So I found it in the forum...lazy me. Added this and iptables exception.

Ok thanks, when i try to do layer2 topology for each switch i get the schema for almost of them, but i have problem with the cascade ports, in fact the schema show on pcs in the second switch as node connected to this port, are there way to configure port as casacde ?

Thank everyone, I was forgetting the .0 on the end

Hi! You have to create DCI on some node with source "Internal" and parameter name "Dummy", and use a transformation script of that DCI to make an aggregate value. Best regards, Victor

Thank you. It worked.

example https://www.netxms.org/forum/oe-oo/oat-motoa-o-aamet-1846/ you need select only your parameter

Thank you. It worked like a charm.

Many thanks for the swift response - I will give it a go although the agent did crash when I tried to install it on the server

Hi Victor. Is it for all addresses or only for some? This happens with every address (IP/MAC) I've tried to find. What switches you are using in your network? Cisco Nexus n5000, Cisco Nexus 1010, Cisco Nexus 1000, Cisco Catalyst 4500, Cisco Catalyst s72033, Cisco Catalyst C3750E, Cisco Catalyst C3500XL, Cisco 2801, Cisco Catalyst c6sup2_rp, Cisco Catalyst C2950, Cisco Catalyst C2970, Cisco Catalyst CBS31X0, HP Procurve 2810-24G, HP Procurve 1810G, HP Procurve 2910al-48G, HP Procurve 2650, HP Procurve 2824, etc. Is it possible to read forwarding database from switches (Tools -> Info -> Switch forwarding database)? Yes for: Cisco Catalyst s72033 (only 1 interface to several) Cisco Catalyst C3750E (only 2 interfaces to several) Cisco Nexus 1000 (only 1 interface to several) Cisco Catalyst C2970 (only 1 interface to several) Cisco Catalyst C3500XL HP Procurve 2810-24G HP Procurve 1810G HP Procurve 2910al-48G HP Procurve 2650 HP Procurve 2824 Best regards.

Hi! Yes, it is current limitation in zoning support. I have added a feature request for that. Best regards, Victor

After quick check on PCI DSS requirements regarding SNMP, it seems that it is only required to change default community strings/account names. Disabling SNMP completely is recommended, but not mandatory. We have several bank clients, and they pass PCI DSS compliance audits, while running SNMP for managing network devices. Best regards, Victor

hi victor, thank you for your time. now i understand. keep up the good work and i can't wait to see what's in stored for me in the next release  Best Regards, Lindeamon

Hi, I've been struggling a bit with monitoring a particular Wordpress site, I kept getting a 301 redirect all the time from the site with ServiceCheck.HTTP, I finally figure it out after some TCPDumping of the traffic, the request from ServiceCheck.HTTP looks like this: GET / HTTP/1.1 Connection: close Accept: */* Host: www.domain.com:80 The additional :80 in the Host header seems to be causing the problem, as soon as i modified the source code for the portcheck subagent in: netxms-1.2.4/src/agent/subagents/portCheck/http.cpp to exclude the port value, the Wordpress site stopped redirecting me and instead showed the HTML output of the site. I'm not sure what the solution should be and this probably is a Wordpress specific issue, but I'd love to see an option to specify and have the possibility to override what HTTP headers are sent to the target. Thanks Anders

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks,

Hi! Can you describe this situation with more details? I'm not sure that I understand it correctly... Best regards, Victor

Hi! Currently there are no other solution then to run nxdbmgr before starting netxmsd. You can simplify it by adding -e command line argument to netxmsd - then netxmsd will call nxdbmgr on startup. I've created a feature request to address this problem more correctly: https://www.radensolutions.com/chiliproject/issues/185. I will add additional command line argument to specify peer IP address - then if database locked by peer, server will check if it's alive, and if not, will automatically remove the lock. Best regards, Victor

Many thanks Victor - I have just got around to this and it works perfectly. Thanks for your help.

Hi just tried to run the agent from the commandline: "C:\NetXMS\bin\nxagentd.exe" -c "C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf" -n "NetXMSAgentdW32" -e "NetXMS Win32 Agent" -D 0 now it works! what's the difference? usually the agent runs as a windows service using Active Directory user credentials to be able to access network ressources. the user i did run it from the commandline.

confirmed, server version 1.2.4 fixes the problem
