    We plan to pack a JRE along with the console to simplify all this.

    The report engine used is Jasper Reports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JasperReports An example of report could be found, e.g., in this forum message: https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/reporting-server-4315/msg20117/#msg20117

    It's working now. The webhook URL didn't copy paste correct. The nxadm -c "debug ncd.msteams 6" pointed me in the right direction. Thank You Alex

    Found the problem with new nodes being added automatically in wrong site That's actually not the problem. It was that NetXMS was grouping /32 loopback addresses into a /24 subnet which contained a lot of other routers. I deleted the subnet (maybe a misconfiguration earlier?) and that solved the issue I've also tested your code samples above and its immensely helpful in drilling through possible variables, lot in there I didn't even know about, now it makes significantly more sense and i'll be able to craft some better scripts. Thank you

    For Debuan/Ubuntu the best practice is to install and upgrade by means of OS package manager (apt / apt-get). There are tools to automate deployment of packages like Puppet, Chef, etc. Installing using apt and upgrading from NetXMS Package Manager should not be done - location of binary/configuration/log file could be different and there'll be mess on the target system.

    Not quite what i'm looking for because a router might have 12 different subnets. So browsing subnet by subnet is not reallyeffective I'd rather see something like a router also acting like a folder, which you can expand out and it shows all the devices in the same subnet as that router. If that makes sense? Or another tab in 'Object Details' called 'Subnets' with a tree view containing them and all devices in that same subnet (if also in the same Zone as that router)

    Update, for anyone trying to do anything similar, I believe I have a working solution.  I was able create a polled DCI parameter from a Windows Agent using the SSH.nsm subagent to access a router / firewall and then run a script from that device ( in my case Edgerouter ).  Below is how I setup the DCI properties on the Windows Agent System: Data - Parameter: SSH.Command(192.168.239.1,username, password,sudo /config/scripts/polling_script.sh) Origin: NetXMS Agent    ( this differs from information online that says it should be "SSH", I could not get this to work ) Data Type: String Source Node: Pointing at the Same windows Agent I run a script that is found on the remote router / firewall that consist of a ping command that is parsed for information on if the ping is successful and returns either "OK" or "Failed" my script is similar to this: if ping -q -c 1 10.200.200.112 2>&1 > /dev/null ; then     echo "Ok" else     echo "Fail" fi Thank you all for your help, this will allow me to confirm the status of VPN's that I do not control any remote devices, that only allow certain IP's to ping them.

    Try to login with system user - maybe there is some issue with objects access rights. Best regards, Victor

    Hi, you should enable web service proxy on agent by adding EnableWebServiceProxy = yes to config. Best regards, Victor

    You can try using Custom schedule and specifying exact seconds for various DCIs: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/appendix.html#cron-format Other possible approach could be network traffic throttling: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-tbf.8.html

    Hi, reporting server is now included as part of Windows server installer, so if you select to install it it should be properly configured as Windows service. We also did lot of internal changes to improve stability. For each report being run server now prepares view for accessing all DCIs on all nodes according to access rights of the user that starts the report - this greatly simplifies creation of DCI based reports (like top nodes with highest CPU usage, etc.). We plan to add some standard reports to the package in one of patch releases. Best regards, Victor

    Hi, I use a lot of MS SQL server queries to monitor our environment. At the moment we us an SQL login to perfrom these queries. Our companies security rules recommend to disable SQL logins in MS SQL and this recommendation will become a rule soon. Is there a way to use Windows Authentication for the NetXMS Agent to connect to MSSQL? If not, is this planned?

    Howdy, Has anyone figured out how to report a DCI for multiple nodes with nxreporting? We have cellular routers that are reporting their data usages to netxms and our management would like a report that is emailed to them every monday morning. The issues is I haven't figured out how to create the postgresql query to put into jaspersoft to create the report. Full disclosure I'm a IT Security Admin and not a DB Admin so basic queries I can do but not more technical ones. I was hoping to not having to create a dataset for each of the routers as there is about 110 of them. Thank you in advanced

    I've created an issue for this feature https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-2003, but it might take quite a while until developers get to this.

    I've set all Nodes behind the proxy as unmanaged  and disabled all DCIs od the proxy to avoid false results. Then I've captured the lsof output of the  nxagentd process to a file before the action few seconds after the action and the diff output of the two files is following (server name is changed to xxxxx): 55a56 > nxagentd 100 root 16u IPv4 1130371273 0t0 TCP xxxxx:netxms-agent->192.168.201.1:51656 (CLOSE_WAIT) 58a60,61 > nxagentd 100 root 20r FIFO 0,12 0t0 1130371274 pipe > nxagentd 100 root 21w FIFO 0,12 0t0 1130371274 pipe Then I captured the output 1 minute after the action and the lines were still there. 2 minutes after the action all 3 lines have disappeared from the lsof output. This means that closing the pipes takes some time even if the process on the other side of the pipe is no longer running (checked with ps). I did the test multiple times, each time with the same result. The question is whether if a large number of requests come, closing pipes does not take longer a therefore the average number of open pipes is increasing. Another question is how to modify the configuration to avoid this. CPU and free memory on the server and proxy are OK all the time and the actions DCIs are started every 15 minutes.

    edit: Nevermind, post removed I thought your syntax was incorrect, but I was using it wrong. I was trying to first test with 'Execute Server Script' and parsing a variable to it then using $1 instead of $event->parameters[1] and that worked in that context, but not in Event message Your syntax is correct and it works fine Thank You!

    @filipp-sudanov said in Nodes missing from console: One possible option is that there is an issue with access right to these nodes. Try enabling "system" user nxdbmgr reset-system-account (it's password will be "netxms"). This account has access rights to all objects in the system. Could be that the nodes will be visible (may be in the root of object tree). Thank you! That allowed me to see the nodes and found someone set access rights for everyone to just allow "Push Data" on all the missing nodes. They were still under the correct subnets just not visible. After asking around to the other admins, I will be giving one of them a little harder time then the others and maybe removing some of their access.
