    Hi! Thank you! Yes, we have plans to integrate with vCenter/ESXi for quite a long. The only issue for us is lack of resources, but we definitely will come to implement this. Best regards, Victor

    Cейчас можно сделать Add Decoration и наложить картинку с прозрачностью, даже несколько. К сожалению, сейчас нельзя отключить режим редактирования декотораторов, и их можно случайно утянуть в сторону. Также нельзя добраться до нижних слоев через верхний. Будем переделывать, идея хорошая. Сейчас, как временное решение, можнос сделать так: * Добавить нужные overlay * Последним добавить еще одну большую, полностью прозрачную картинку,  которая перекроет все остальные. Не самая удобная схема, конечно.

    Hi! Yews, we have such plans. Event collector is already there (which is the simplest part of course), we have to implement analyzer and UI. Best regards, Victor

    Well, I just manually and uselessly selected almost 150 nodes to re-apply something that would be re-applied automatically!

    Hi! You can use instance discovery for that. With instance discovery, you can create single DCI in template which will be expanded to one DCI per interface (you can also filter for what interfaces DCIs should be created). There are very basi description in user manual: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/UM:Data_Collection#Instance_Discovery and video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSs9mP_0XK0. Best regards, Victor

    Hi Victor, I've put the new driver in our NetXMS server, it detects RFS6000 switches nicely and displays the APs. Thanks for the help! One small additional remark: the AP model is detected as "UNKNOWN" for our AP650 devices. I suspect this is because of OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.388.14.3.2.1.11.5.1.5 which for an AP650 has value 9, whilst AP300's are 3. Kind regards, bdefloo

    Hey Victor, Thnx for your quick reply, I browsed your issue tracker, and it seems that there are many great ideas I'm not sure however, if you can connect with AD with just an LDAP library. Its possible, but there are limitations. However, my guess is (and I'm not a real Linux guy) that these features will be available via the Samba 4 API however. I'll check it myself when I have some time left. Python, .... although I'm Dutch, I'm a little bit allergic to Python. No pun intended though. Anyway, Good luck, your NetXMS is great software!

    This can look like a cosmetical issue, but I think it could significantly increase end-user frendliness of a Management Console. Would it be possible to hide (or disable) toolbar and menu items not allowed to user because of his low access rights instead of displaying an error message "Access denied"?

    Currently, user with a right to "manage users" is able to change its own rights (which gives him power of a superuser). This solution works and is documented, which is good. Unfortunately it is not possible to create a user with restricted rights (non-superuser) which can create new users. I'm afraid that changing user management policy in NetXMS is not a simple task, nevertheless I tried to formulate some rules that could be used. Let Bob be one of users: 0 - Bob can't change his own rights. 1 - Bob can't grant another user (or group) a right that Bob doesn't have. 2 - Bob can't remove another user (or group) a right that Bob doesn't have. 3 - Bob can't add users to groups that have at least one right that Bob doesn't have. 4 - Bob can't remove users from groups that have at least one right that Bob doesn't have. 5 - Bob can't delete user that have at least one right that Bob doesn't have. 6 - Other actions are allowed to Bob. In another words these rules prevent Bob from changing his own rights, but allow him to manipulate with rights of all other users (but only with rights that Bob has). E.g. if Bob can only "Send SMS" and "Manage users", he can prevent (or grant) arbitrary user from sending SMS, but he isn't allowed to manipulate with "View event log" right of any user (including Bob himself). Maybe this solution is too crazy, but I think that possibility to create a non-superuser which can create new users could be a helpful feature.

    @phonix786 said in Geneneral Reports & Service Level Agreement (SLA) Monitoring: How can we generate reports in Netxms. Reports & SLA monitoring is there in almost every NMS like opennms, pandara etc. but not in netxms. Adding feature of general reports and SLA configuring & monitoring will certainly add weightage to Netxms and netxms will be a complete NMS software. Kindly add these features earliest. Thanks!

    @athesis said in Dynamic Content Network Map: Hi, I would also support an Display like that, it would be enoumous advantage for traffic monitoring and clarity what where is. At least to say witch port is connected to what device etc. Just one comments regarding which port is connected to what device - it's already possible. You can either do this manually (just link objects on the map and put appropriate labels on link), or automatically (create new map of type "layer 2 topology", put some network device as a seed, and NetXMS will build and update it automatically with known layer 2 connectivity information). There are also minor move toward active network maps: you already can show values of selected DCIs in object's tooltips. Just check "show in object tooltips" checkbox in DCI properties, and value of this DCI will be displayed when you hover mouse over node object on map. I'll try to add options for displaying DCI data over map links in 1.2.8 or 1.2.9, depending on how well it will go. Best regards, Victor

    i second that. i have been using this awesome piece of software for about 2 years now and every time i have to do something that is little bit complicated i find my self spending a lot of time trying to find info that only victor has. you've got to start implementing some kind of built in help mechanism mainly around dci's like website checking and etc., places that even guessing will not help.

    Hi! There are lot of possible solutions, depending on what tools are available and what level of access you have to these devices: It is not necessary to run agent under root user to get most of the information, especially on Linux. If you can run agent as non-root user, that could be a solution. If you can put additional binaries to the device, you can use shell scripts and nxpush command line tool to push data to management server. You can create scripts on management server (or any other system) to query data from the device and use nxpush or nxapush to push data to management server. I agree that having "exec" type of DCI origin will simplify configuration in case #3. I have added it as feature request for 1.2.8 release. Best regards, Victor

    Yes, currently server connects to the agent to gather data. You can push DCI values or events using "nxpush" and "nxevent", but in this configuration all scheduling is done on agent's side (actually agent is not required for these tools). Both tools are built when "--with-client" configure option is enabled. Major drawback of this implementation – both tools versions should match server's version, so you'll have to upgrade all nodes at the same time.

    Hi All, Firstly thank you for an amazing product. I have an inquiry / suggestion, would it possible to have a multiple selection and be able to edit its station calculation, say to "-2" instead of having to manually go through each and every port on a switch, perhaps it could do when you do your forst poll->configuration? Thanks again. [image: Untitled.png]
  • last() DCIs resetting after server restart

    Hi, We have a number of DCIs using last( # ) samples equal to a specific value thresholds. I noticed that every time the NetXMS service restarts these thresholds are deactivated and reactivated # polls later if they were active before NetXMS went down. Probably this has to do with the server not knowing what the previous values were because it was down. However, it creates the false impression that the threshold was no longer reached at a certain point. Seeing as threshold activation/deactivation status is kept in the database, would it be possible to retain the old status of a threshold if the current DCI value(s) do not change it, and last values are not available due to a server restart? For example, let's assume a DCI with threshold last(2) < 10. In the following list of polled values, assume X is the point where the server restarts: 15, 26, 30, X, 40, 50, 60 Currentely (tested on v1.2.6), the threshold would be active before X, be deactivated when it polls 40 first time after the restart, and be reactivated at value 50. With the change I suggested, it would remain active throughout the test. Another example: 15, 26, 30, X, 0, 1, 2 In this case, both the current version and my proposal should deactivate the threshold at 0. 15, 26, 30, X, 40, 0, 1 Here, the current version would deactivate the threshold on 40, but my proposal would delay this until the next poll (0). Kind regards, bdefloo
