NetXMS 5.0 released

Victor Kirhenshtein

Hello @all,

noticed that there are no more windows server downloads online, except for users with active support contract... Are there any announcement that i missed?

I never heard or read of this change. I only noticed this cause i take a look in the download section of the NetXMS website.

It would have been nice if you had announced the change a bit in advance, then everyone could have thought about how to deal with it...

Greetings
Marco

Yes, I agree that we should have had announced it in advance. I will discuss it with the team and announce if there will be any changes to new policy.

Why do most data collection entries appear as yellow after upgrade, but they are still collecting metrics?

and i see error "Script(DCI::NODE-NAME::177748::InstanceFilter) execution error: Error in line 1: sytnax error, unexpected '?', expecting $end" Where can i find the script that is generating this error ?

update was done directly to 5.0.1.

Hi!
This is instance filter script, number in script name is DCI ID. Please find this DCI and show the script.
Best regards,
Victor

Update: I just checked, and seems that there is another bug with same conversion (of instance filter scripts), that may lead to script corruption. We are currently building version 5.0.2 with the fix in upgrade procedure. If possible, restore database from backup and run upgrade again with version 5.0.2. Alternatively, restore only content of column "instd_filter" in table "items", and do script conversion manually where needed.

Best regards,
Victor

Trying to install Netxms 5.0.1 on Ubuntu 24.04 Server, had some troubles installing

ref  [url="https://netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/installation.html#add-apt-repository"]Installation — NetXMS Administrator Guide (4.4.3)[/url]  ... ( I assum 5.0.1 version is on it's way..)

[color=#404040][size=2][font=SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, Liberation Mono, Courier New, Courier, monospace]wget http://packages.netxms.org/netxms-release-latest.deb
sudo dpkg -i netxms-release-latest.deb
sudo apt-get update[/font][/size][/color]

but when I tried to install netxms-server I got the following list when I tabbed at the end of the prompt:

root@testhost:~# apt-get install netxms-
netxms-agent          netxms-base           netxms-dbdrv-sqlite3  netxms-release

Checked Index of /ubuntu/pool/noble/main/ (netxms.org) and it contains less directories as the same for Jammy, example Index of /ubuntu/pool/jammy/main/n/ (netxms.org) has netxms and all the useful deb packages, however the noble one does not.

Build for 24.04 is still on the way (there are some changes required and we were busy with other issues), but it will be available in next few days.

What do the yellow DCI mean? they collect data but are yellow.

also script says function "CreateSNMPTransport" and "SNMPGetValue" are deprecated, what are replacements?

We are moving from functions to object methods wherever possible, check this example in the docs:

Might be a bug. Can you share a screenshot of this?

when i create new node with fresh dci-s then they appears normal again.

Filipp Sudanov

We just found a bug in DCI loading from database, they could be randomly marked as "anomaly detected". Next patch release will contain fix for that

Hi Team,
as always, thank you for the great work. you give us an awesome piece of software for free and we appreciate it.
Windows is my go to platform and having the binaries all ready available made it much much easier for me to use netxms in my company.
hope you will reconsider your decision about windows server binaries.

10x,
Lindeamon

I was looking for the server installer for windows and saw that now support is needed for this. That is why i asked if it was no longer free.

is building windows installer for server from source complex task ?

Depends on your experience of course Build itself is straight-forward - there is Visual Studio solution file in the root of source tree, it will handle all the builds. Tricky part is to get all the dependencies (openssl, libcurl, libssh, libjq, libmodbus, libmosquitto, libpcre, database client libraries, breakpad, libmicrohttpd). Some of those are for specific components only, which you can exclude from build if you don't need them.

This is a real damper. Most of the people that I help use the Windows installer
