    Hi,
    im totally new to netxms, played around a little bit, and im stuck now.

    i want to use netxms primarly for monitoring switch traffic.

    how can i achieve to automate the process of creating dci , and graphs?
    we use only 3 switch models, so i thought about creating a template for each model.
    But when i go to Data Collection Configuration - and create parameters with specific SNMP OID's. and i apply a switch to this template. it always tells me Unsupported.

    also the oids change , depending on the configuration of the switch, sometimes interface description for ge-0/0/0 is identified by OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.514
    on anohter switch, same model, it has OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.503.

    Any help is really appreciated

      Use instance discovery to create dynamic DCIs.

      You can see how to in this post:

          You could transform the DCI to negative values ...

            You are probably running old version of NetXMS.

            I advise running the newest released version - 2.0-RC2.

            I advise against doing that, just upgrade your NetXMS version and invert it on graph, rather than modifying the source data.

              ok thanks
              im running the recent stable version  1.2.17.

              how can i invert them on the graph?
              or is this only possible in 2.0+ ?

                Yes, this feature is only available since 2.0-M3.

                  followed this guide..
                  https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Server_Installation_Guide#Upgrading_NetXMS_Server_on_UNIX

                  but after this i get the error:
                  Server uses incompatible version of communication protocol

                    You also need a newer version of the management console (client).
