No SMTP Driver

[ruidias]

After upgrade NetXMS lost SMTP Driver in Notification Channels

How to enable again?

[Filipp Sudanov]

What's exactly happened? Is the driver gone from the list? What is it's status and error message in the list?

To debug what's happening with the driver you can increase debug level: In Tools->Server Debug Console issue

debug ncd.* 7

this will enable debug for notification channel drivers. Then try to send a message and check server log

Hi,

he issue is that the ncdriver SMTP module is not compiled. I have tried several methods, but I have been unable to compile the SMTP module

the only drivers available

[Filipp Sudanov]

Any reason why you compile it yourself? We have packages for Ubuntu.

[ruidias]

It was installed like that in the beginning and migrated after that.

I have tried a new installation on same server but can't get the drivers to be all installaed

Any solution ?

[ruidias]

How can I export all infrastructure and objects to import them into a new server?

[Filipp Sudanov]

Problems with compilation are probably because libcurl library is now used for a few things, smtp in particular. But it's better just to use packages.

You can install netxms packages right on the same system, just remove systemd unit or whatever way the old server and agent were started by.

nxagentd.conf will be in /etc, currently it's probably the same
server files, images are under /var/lib/netxms/, if compilation was with default prefix, then currently it's same location
and the database, with which new binaries will work same way and the old ones

Export-import is also possible, this will export all the configuration, without logs and collected data:

nxdbmgr -s -Z all -e hardware_inventory -e software_inventory export backup.sql

And to import on the new system:

nxdbmgr import backup.sql

And you'll need to copy conf file and folders I've mentioned above.

Server migration completed successfully! Thank you!

Nice to hear that
