Unfortunately after the upgrade to 1.2.8 the issue is NOT solved.
What did you suggest for debug?
Sorry for the late feedback, but i can't upgrade netxms when I want, i have to wait until the first production stop of my enviroment.

Thank you

Thank you so much!

For info, is this issue (https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/can't-get-switch-forwarding-database-on-cisco-2960/msg10277/#msg10277) resolved in 1.2.8?

I hope so. In my test lab everything works as expected. Check if you still have this issue. If yes, we will have to try to debug this remotely...

Best regards,
Victor

Create "nxmc.properties" somewhere in classpath (e.g. "/lib" in case of Tomcat), it should be read on application startup.

I use Tomcat.
I added this file in many directory:

  1. /var/lib/
  2. /var/lib/tomcat7/
  3. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/
  4. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/nxmc-1.2.8/WEB-INF/
  5. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/nxmc-1.2.8/WEB-INF/
  6. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/nxmc-1.2.8/WEB-INF/plugins
  7. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/nxmc-1.2.8/WEB-INF/configuration
  8. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/nxmc-1.2.8/WEB-INF/libs
    But nothing happened.. I restarted Tomcat and reloaded application. What's wrong?

Sample config:

server=127.0.0.1
enableAdvancedSettings=false

"enableAdvancedSettings=false" disable "Options" button on login screen, so user can't connect to another server.

You wrote that "-Configuration file nxmc.properties can be placed outside of war file", but when i tried to find nxmc.properties in war file by guide http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Web_Interface_Installation_Guide I didn't find it.
And Where I can placed nxmc.properties for changes?

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/testnetxms/netxms-1.2.8/src/sqlite'

sqlite3.c:23531: error: 'fchmod' undeclared here (not in a function)

So, extracted source files from the package and in ./src/sqlite/sqlite3.c
added:

#include <sys/stat.h>

This time compilation was successfull.

Is it possible to repackage nxagent-1.2.8.apkg?

Hi!

Yes, it's best to upgrade server first. If you have multiple platforms, you just need to upload packages for every platform. On deployment server compares package target platform with actual node platform, so even if you select Linux servers as a target for Windows package, it will not break anything.

Victor

Thank you very much for all those answers.

Hi!

That depends on the target operating systems. If these are Windows, or UNIX with build tools, you can use centralized agent upgrade. Download needed agent packages and npi files into same directory, then open Configuration -> Package Manager in console. Press green plus sign icon and select npi file. Agent installation package will be uploaded to server. Then right click on package, and select "deploy". Select nodes you want to deploy package on, and wait until upgrade process completes.

Best regards,
Victor

Thank you for the fast answer Victor. There are both Windows and Unix/Linux systems. Do you think there will be problems because of the cross-platform configuration? One another thing. I need first install the upgrade on the NetXMS server, and then go with centralized agent upgrade? Just to be sure.

Edin

I'm new to NetXMS, a really great tool. I din't make the install myself, it was already installed in the company when I got the job.
I have one question. There are around 40 nodes in my network. Do I need to install manually the 1.2.8 update on every agent, or is there another way to do that? Maybe with a script or something like that.
