Most likely such feature will be added in one of the next versions.

I can run shell command on agent. So how can i get the result of command and show on Windows console.
Ex: i defined in nxagentd.conf
ActionShellExec = FWStatus:iptables -L

How can i get the result of this command?

Looks like some of the system functions has misleading names. We have:

  1. Actions on server (configurable under Control Panel -> Actions): it's an actions server can perform as a result of event processing. These actions can only be used in event processing policy.

  2. Actions on agent (configurable in agent's configuration file via Action or ActionShellExec parameters): it's a predefined commands agent can execute upon request.

  3. Object tools (configurable via Control Panel -> Object Tools): something which can be executed by operator on currently selected node in console. Object tools can be:

a) Command - local command execution (executed on same machine where netXMS console is running);
b) Action - predefined action execution on agent
c) SNMP table - get data from SNMP
d) Agent table - get data from agent
e) Open URL - open given URL in embedded browser

If you wish to run something on remote machine via agent, you should:

  1. Define action on agent (using Action or ActionShellExec - if you wish to use shell functionality like output redirection, you should use ActionShellExec).

  2. Depending on your need: if you wish to run something automatically, as a reaction to event, then:
    2a. Define server action (Control Panel -> Actions) of type "execute action on remote agent", enter name of agent's action into "Action" field;
    2b. Add your server action to event processing policy.

If you wish to be able to run something on remote machine manually, via "Tools" menu:
2a. Create new object tool (Control Panel -> Object Tools) of type "Action", enter name of agent's action into "Action" field.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Victor

  • Add action to agent's config & restart agent
    Action = Test:ls > /ls.txt

  • Define action on console's object tools.
    name: Test
    description: ls
    command: ls > /ls.txt
    access: everyone

    • And then?

    Before,  I have define the action on "control panel -> Actions".

    And add it to event processing policy editor.

    And add that event on "Data collection -> threshold".

    But, not work.

    What is the difference between action and object tools on control panel?

    Sorry, but I can not find the details of define action on user manual.

    Thanks.
    Regards.

    To define custom action, add to agent's config:

    Action = ActionName:command
