Installing agent on Raspbian
-
I'm trying to install the agent on a Raspberry pi (see version below), and am following instructions from the Wiki.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

I believe you need to change the URL in your sources file to http://packages.netxms.org/raspian (from http://packages.netxms.org/debian).

https://packages.netxms.org/raspian returns 404.

Oops. That's because I misspelled it. It's raspbian, not raspian.
You can browse through the repository: https://packages.netxms.org/ -
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not quite sure what to do with this knowledge... how do I proceed? I found a deb file under the raspbian folder and I tried this below:
What am I missing?

Hi,
you have to add new source for apt. Create new file named netxms.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with content like this:
deb http://packages.netxms.org/raspbian stretch mainYou may also need to install GPG key with command
wget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Best regards,
Victor -
Victor, thanks for the information. This worked for me.
For those wanting all the info, below are all the steps I followed, however I had to comment out the other line (deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian stretch main) in netxms.list. This file already existed, I guess due to some of the steps I followed earlier
Create new file named netxms.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with content like this, Comment out existing line
deb http://packages.netxms.org/raspbian stretch main #deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian stretch mainwget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install netxms-agent sudo nano /etc/nxagentd.conf sudo systemctl enable nxagentdEdit nxagentd.conf and change MasterServers to your NetXMS server
The default file had 127.0.0.1/8, I had to remove the CIDR notation to get it to worksudo service nxagentd restart -
Just an update :
Point 1 :
you have to add new source for apt in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Be carreful on version :deb http://packages.netxms.org/raspbian stretch main
To know raspbian realease : cat /etc/os-releasePoint 2 :
wget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add - => wrong
wget -q -O - https://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add - => OkUse httpS: instead of http:

Hello, I have a quite same issue. I tryed to compile Netxms agent for RPI5 Raspbian bookworm (PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)")
but i have some troubles with them. Would anyone be able to help me?sudo systemctl status nxagentd
× nxagentd.service - NetXMS Agent Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nxagentd.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2025-11-09 14:05:47 CET; 2min 54s ago Process: 1361070 ExecStart=/usr/bin/nxagentd -d (code=exited, status=127) CPU: 1ms lis 09 14:05:47 mama-rpi systemd[1]: nxagentd.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5. lis 09 14:05:47 mama-rpi systemd[1]: Stopped nxagentd.service - NetXMS Agent. lis 09 14:05:47 mama-rpi systemd[1]: nxagentd.service: Start request repeated too quickly. lis 09 14:05:47 mama-rpi systemd[1]: nxagentd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. lis 09 14:05:47 mama-rpi systemd[1]: Failed to start nxagentd.service - NetXMS Agent. -
Pls try to run the agent in the foreground mode:
nxagentd -D 6
In this mode it should put it's log right to the terminal. Pls share the output

Hello I solve my problem thanks to one man on root.cz (it is in czech) https://forum.root.cz/index.php?topic=30974.msg429129#msg429129
I had compile this code for RPi5 and OPi5 with success.
English translation of this manual:
To compile on Raspberry Pi, install at least the basics for building. For the rest of the procedure, I assume you are using Debian 12.
Code: [Select]
apt install build-essential autoconf libssl-dev libpcre2-dev libmodbus-devDownload the netxms source code from the website.
Code: [Select]
https://netxms.com/download/releases/5.2/netxms-5.2.7.tar.gz
Unzip it to /opt/netxms, for example.Then run configure and make in the directory.
Code: [Select]
./configure --with-libmodbus --with-libssh --with-snmp --with-agent --with-openssl --with-client-proxy --with-static-subagents-list=ssh
make
make install
ldconfig
For systemd, the unit file is available after compilation in /opt/netxms/netxms-5.2.7/contrib/startup/systemd/netxms-server.service, so copy it to /etc/systemd/system
Create a basic configuration file in /etc/nxagentd.conf according to the documentationThen register the unit, try to start the service, and check it out.
Code: [Select]
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start netxms-agent
systemctl status netxms-agentThis is the minimum configuration for the agent; hopefully, it will be sufficient for your purposes.
The agent log is according to the agent configuration, where you will find further operational information if it starts.
LogFile=/var/log/nxagentd
But I have some troubles with ssh connection to node from NetXMS client. Is it due to I am connecting from client without VPN and nodes are in VPN? Support for ssh should be included in the compilation.
