    Hi, you can use NXSL function GetInterfaceObject to get access to interface object and then RenameObject to rename it. Best regards, Victor

    Rather interestingly, I migrated from four "big name" other NMS solutions to NetXMS. Today we had a major power spike across the metro area - ORION - asleep at the wheel, overloaded by bloated functions, NetXMS - my Up/Down dashboard - 1 minute auto refresh - loved by all. NetXMS has its nuances, but for us, today demonstrated that NetXMS can easy hold its own, and more, for standard NMS and SNMP based monitoring.
  • Dynamic IP adresses on Nodes creating duplicate nodes - options?

    These nodes do respond to snmp but DNS may not have updated at the point in time the first trap is received. Agree - the filtering script on discovery looks to be the best option but status polling at one minute intervals may be easier - just use discovery script to wait two minutes and see if device now updated. I could also possibly use sysDescription in the filter script as the - do not add if match. Will look again into the MAC matching theory and once I have identified what PrimaryName is as a $node variable, will try again.

    You can manually bind nodes to containers. For manual subnet binding you can try to manually create interface on node with correct IP address. Best regards, Victor

    In a dashboard, when I add a rack diagram and mark the title option, instead of the title appears the name of the object.

    Thank you for your attention. I tested the VPN connector, it really only appears on network maps, it should also appear on custom maps. It's really hard to know what each integer value means, but it's possible to search the internet.
  • Bulk import - device names only?

    yeah - node name goes in column 1 and dnsname in column 2. As my node names match my dns names - just duplicated the 1st column, renamed the header to Adress, ran the bulk import - 670 additional nodes - sweet Found this solution in an old example somewhere. Sometimes the obvious is obvious - sometimes it just bangs you in the head.
  • Todays dumb question - Event Description - why bother?

    Be patient enough and all gets revealed!! https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/actions-parameter/ $event-> message gives me the message based on the Event message whereas $alarmMessage gives me the whole alarm text - which is available as  """%m""". This not only solves my Description vs. Detail for ticket creation - but also gives me a basis to design my event message as the summary and alarm message as the detail. Happy enough with this as a good reason for both and when and where to use both

  • Data Table SELECT possible in Postgresql?

    Does anyone have experience querying DC table data directly using Postgres? I'm working in Grafana, and having good success with non-table DCIs. For complicated reasons I need to be able to create custom queries rather than relying on NetXMS' built-in data export features. By parsing dctable.cpp, I believe I get the gist of how tables are constructed using dc_table_columns, with the cells themselves stored in tdata, but I'm not understanding how the tdata_value field actually works, or whether it's even possible to parse it outside of NetXMS itself. Another option would be if the Grafana API plugin for NetXMS supported tables, but I'm not sure anyone's working on that.

    @victor said in Single subnet active discovery fails with log showing wrong subnet: Yes. You have to have SubAgent = ping.nsm in nxagentd.conf. That helped, thank you.  ;D

    And here I was thinking my excessively complicated PowerShell to create a service desk ticket was just me (which it still largely probably is). Switch management in remote networks is potentially on my horizon, so good to hear that a) somebody else got it working and b) they used PowerShell. My only hard requirements were SSH (Securecrt or Putty) and Utilization / Packet loss at a Node level and at an interface level. This functionality should deliver the first and I assume that Utilisation and Packet Loss could / should probably be added to the Network template to give me the second. (add .13 .14 .19 and .20 from iftable) Once v3 is out, will check out what options are now available.

    Hi Victor - thanks for that - except that you are not correct - but you were close enough!! I thought I had tried your suggestion and failed - but tried it again - and failed again. Tried double double quotes - no good. Tried triple double quotes - and it worked!!    ;D Other than %t being empty, I got the whole message in %m .  This works: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe c:\scripts\create-inc-from-alarm.ps1 -device  "%n" -sev "%s" -tyme """%t""" -pd "%(pass)" -msg """%m""" The only two questions that remain are a follows: Is time Alarm Created available? - %t is empty Can I get the Event message? I would like this so I can create the ticket with Event Message which I create as a summary of the alarm.
