<![CDATA[Usage of nxpush to load values in a new DCI over a node]]>Hi

We installed NetXMS 1.2.4 few days ago. Very good tool thanks!

We create a node called Switch_1 and add a new push DCI called Time (Push Integer).

We are loading values into Time using command

nxpush -u admin -P ******** localhost Switch_1:Time="c:\netXMS\bin\nxget localhost Icmp.Ping(10.194.133.1)"

When we check Last Values in node, the DCI took the string c:\netXMS\bin\nxget localhost Icmp.Ping(10.194.133.1) not the value itself. We replace " by ', remove c:\netXMS/bin and do many possible variations but nothing happen.

Thanks for your support

  • Check that "primary IP" on overview tab for node "MARLONHURTADO" is listed in MasterServers
  • Check again with nxget, but use external IP instead of loopback.

And I obtain a positive answer using nxget

    This is the agent text

    MasterServers = netxms.demo
    SubAgent = ping.nsm
     
    *PING
    Timeout = 1000
    PacketRate = 12
    Target = 10.194.133.1

    This is the answer from nxget
    C:\Users\marlon.hurtado>nxget localhost icmp.ping(10.194.133.1)
    50

    DCI config is in attachment

Also, can you check that you can get required value via nxget?
    And maybe post here screenshot of your DCI config, this can help identifying the problem.

    Maybe I missed some setup?

"Name" was an old name for it. See attached screenshot for example. Description is a human-readable text to be displayed in UI, and "parameter" is an actual parameter name to be collected (it will be SNMP OID for SNMP parameters).

    Thanks to clarify my mistake using UNIX instructions in Windows

    We use your solution but still it does not work; Last value is <<ERROR>>. This is what we did

    • We modify server parameter CheckTrustedNodes to 0 and restart server.

    • We check that nxagentd.conf in server have line SubAgent = ping.nsm and define timeout, packetrate and target values

    • We finally create new DCI as NetXMS Agent in swtich_1 and in server node
          - Description Icmp.Ping(10.194.133.1) as description (There is no name field, right?)
          - No parameters
          - Proxy for Switch_1 SERVER; No Proxy for SERVER NODE

    Thanks for your help

    It's not so simple to use command's output in Windows as in UNIX shell. You can achieve this using FOR command:

    for /F %x in ('nxget localhost Icmp.Ping(10.194.133.1)') do @nxpush -u admin -P ******** localhost Switch_1:Time=%x

    However, there are easier way to achieve what you want using proxy DCI: create DCI on node Switch_1, set origin to "NetXMS Agent", enter Icmp.Ping(10.194.133.1) as name, and set proxy node to your NetXMS server node. This way system will show collected data for node Switch_1, but real data collection will occur from NetXMS server node. You will also need to add Switch_1 to list of trusted nodes in NetXMS server node's properties, or set server configuration variable "CheckTrustedNodes" to 0.
