Auto add new system with agent
-
If the server could automatically add a remote system that got the agent installed, that would be awesome. Though, I believe this is due to the fact that the server actually talks out to the agents, and not the other way around, correct? I'm just trying to think of a way to get it like a kaseya install, where you just plop the agent/config on a machine and it shows up in your dashboard somewhere.

Hi!
Do you mean automatic agent installation on remote machine or just automatic addition of new machines with agents to monitoring database? Latter is possible with automatic discovery - you can turn on automatic discovery and set filter to only accept nodes with agent installed. Then you can use automatic binding scripts on containers to place those new nodes into object tree. You can also send notification when new node added by adding appropriate action for SYS_NODE_ADDED event.
Best regards,

Oh wow... I didn't know that. I'm actually using netxms to support some clients and I would love for them to just dump into the system somewhere for me to sort later.
Do you have a quick rundown of that process? The automatic discovery was a little blurry for me, and I'll admit the binding scripts are totally foreign to me.
I appreciate your work so much. This is an amazing product.

VictorCrap. Actually I just realized because the server reaches out to the agent, not the other way, that this is not currently possible. (These are remote agents with different public IP's).
Would be a neat feature though!!!
