Add peer manually to interface

[jds]

Good morning!

We are loving Netxms and what all it can do. We are slow integrating it with a lot of our systems. One question that has come up is, how do we manual specify a peer for an interface? We are an University Department, we do not control the switches that most our user devices are plugged into. What switches we do control we have managed to get the peer interfaces populated. We can physically get to the switch that the devices are plugged into, so we know what ports they are in but we would like to reflect that in Netxms if possible. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thank you in advance,
Josh

Also does anyone know of a way to manually add component to devices that won't allow for any type of monitoring other than pings (no SNMP or agent). We would like to add the serial number of said devices via a component of the node for inventory purposes.

Thanks again,
Josh

Hi!

Peer manual specification is not possible now, i've created a ticket for that, but there's no exact schedule when this could be implemented. https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-1973

As for adding inventory information to nodes that have no agent and no snmp - currently inventory is populated only by server and is read-only. As developer resources are limited, some manual way could be implemented only if someone requests paid developmet (or, possibly contributes a working code for this).
Currently it's possible to store such information in custom attributes, but there's no way to display that information in the GUI.
Or, alternatively it's possible to create a push dci on the node and use a script object tool that have input field and will update the push DCI.
