Custom network map Object Filter

[bohdan]

Hello.

Always I try to add filtering script  in my custom map via NetXMS console, I get popup: Request time out. Console is not frozen but all other operations are time outed since mentioned operation. I can close console but it is not possible to reconnect with console anymore. nxshell also can't connect, probably any client can't connect to server. I don't see any error in server log and debug messages about continuing discovery and monitoring are written to log, so server is not crashed. I have to restart netxms server to be able connect with console again.

What I need to do:
My custom map contains a lot of nodes drag-and-dropped from subnets, but I need to display only nodes with concrete Custom Attribute.
May be there is some other way how to create filtered custom map via nxshell but I din't find out how to do that. I need to create custom map via filter like I can do it for  infrastructure Service Container.

I have NetXMS 1.2.13. I have discovered, that  same problem is also in my older version 1.2.9
Simplified filter I use to simulate problem: return $node->isSNMP;

Can anybody help me with this problem ?

Thanks in advance,
Bohdan

Solution

Test case:
map name - Ambit
node name - ubuntu

from org.netxms.client.maps.elements import NetworkMapObject

mapaAmbit = s.findObjectByName("Ambit")
mapaId = mapaAmbit.getObjectId()
md = NXCObjectModificationData(mapaId)
page = mapaAmbit.createMapPage()
elementId = page.createElementId()
myObject = s.findObjectByName("ubuntu")
myObjectId = myObject.getObjectId()

ne = NetworkMapObject(elementId,myObjectId)
ne.setLocation(150,150)
page.addElement(ne)

md.setMapContent(page.getElements(),page.getLinks())
s.modifyObject(md)

Hi!

I cannot reproduce console freeze on my development system - so there are chance that your problem will gone after upgrade. However, filtering script will not help you - it is intended for automatically populated maps and filters what object should be added to the map by server. It will not affect manually added objects. You can use nxshell as proposed in previous post to populate map (or delete unwanted objects).

Hi.

Is it possible to automatically  populate custom network map with nodes containing particular custom attribute, for example Location=Bratislava ?
I can do that by python script from my previous post, but I think something similar to automatic binding of nodes to container.

Hi!

No, it's not possible. Custom maps was intended for manual population. You can create IP or link layer map with automatic population and filters.
