<![CDATA[REST API: Maintenance Mode / NXSL Invocation]]>I would like to request the ability to put a node in and out of maintenance mode via the REST API. This could also be solved with something more powerful such as allowing NXSL scripts to be sent to devices via the REST API just like you are able to do with execute server script.

I want to incorporate NetXMS into Ansible to be able to do things like:

  1. Put nodes into maintenance mode in NetXMS
  2. Patch, change, update systems
  3. Remove from maintenance mode in NetXMS

Sure, I could use even nxshell and jython to do some stuff as well, but I would like to not have to have the Java dependencies just to do some automation actions with NetXMS and Ansible.

It was created for earlier version, but  do not have it aviable anymore.

Script used netxms-client library and session.setObjectMaintenanceMode(object.objectId, true, comment) to enter maintenance.

In Ansible "script" was used, something like this:

  • name: Enter NetXMS maintenance mode
      become: false
      script:
        ./scripts/netxms-cli enter-maintenance {{ netxms_hostname | default(inventory_hostname) | quote }} --comment "Upgrading linux system"
      vars:
        ansible_command_timeout: 40
      throttle: 5
      delegate_to: localhost
      ignore_errors: yes

I'd use the heck out of this in automation town.
