My goal is the write a script that I can run from the server console that will walk through a group of nodes in a particular container and activate DCIs that are currently disabled and showing as unsupported.

My first question, is this possible?

Second, I'd like to write a script that can run even with CheckTrustedNodes set 1.  My first problem is retrieving the root object.  I know I am suppose to use:

$r = FindObject("1",$object);

but $r is always null, and my thought is that I don't have permission to access the root object.  My user is part of the admins group.  Am I missing something here?  Andrew

I must be doing something wrong, mu last values are coming back 2, server unreachable.  Here are my custom attributes:

and my parameter:

@victor said in Using custom attribute in a DCI:

Macros within parameter name expanded only when you apply template to node. If it is fine, you can use script macro, and read custom attribute in script. But if you want that DCI will use current value of custom attribute immediately after your change it, themn the only option is to switch to script DCI and use AgentReadParameter function. For example:

return AgentReadParameter($node, "ServiceCheck.Custom(" . GetCustomAttribute($node, "IP") . ",80)");

Best regards,
Victor

I am trying to use a custom attribute inside a DCI.  I have a data parameter ServiceCheck.Custom(%IP%,80) and a custom attribute IP = 192.168.0.1.  I am trying to poll the web port of a device from this node, but I want to specify the IP as a custom attribute.  Is this possible? and what is the correct syntax?  Thanks, Andrew

I have a situation where a DCI  becomes disabled on many nodes due to an unsupported value, because I am pushing out an updated script.  Up to this point, I have been using the management console to re-enable the DCI on each node, which resolves the issue, but is very time consuming because I have to drill down into each node.  Is there a way to have a node recover from an unsupported value on it's own (automatically re-enable the DCI), or be able to select many nodes at one time and re-enable the DCI?  Thanks, Andrew

Here is the output when I specify the aforementioned config file and the -D6 switch.  I'm a little concerned about the lines

[08-Sep-2016 16:21:35.119] External parameters providers poller thread will not start

I don't think I see anything that relates to the logging issue, but I the line "[08-Sep-2016 16:21:35.119] External parameters providers poller thread will not start" seems to be my original issue, and the reason I was trying to examine the log.  There is an external script, which if you run it from a command line returns legitimate value, but the DCI that calls it comes back as unsupported.

Do you have any insight into these two issues given the output?

Hello, I have a server running NetXMS version 2.0.5, and a client running 2.0.4 with the following config file:

##
## netxmsa.conf
##
MasterServers = 10.2.23.208,10.1.23.208,10.2.25.172,10.1.25.172
DataDirectory = C:\ProgramData\NetXMS
EnabledCiphers = 1
ExecTimeout = 300000
FileStore = C:\Users\Public\Downloads
ConfigIncludeDir = C:\ProgramData\NetXMS\netxmsa
LogFile = C:\ProgramData\NetXMS\netxmsa\var\netxmsa.log
# LogFile = {syslog}
RequireAuthentication = no
StartupDelay = 16
SubAgent = portcheck.nsm
SubAgent = winperf.nsm
SubAgent = wmi.nsm

The client agent starts, but doesn't not generate the log file C:\ProgramData\NetXMS\netxmsa\var\netxmsa.log.  The directory exists, and has the correct permissions.  Is there some other way I can get diagnostic information to find out why it is not writing out this file?  Thanks, Andrew

@tomaskir said in Help with Java API:

Just a side note:
If you just need to modify GeoLocation data, consider using just a NXSL script, the "Node" object in NXSL has methods for GeoLocation retrieval and manipulation.

https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/NXSL:Node

The 'setGeoLocation' method doesn't seem to work in NXSL, but I was able to successfully use a simple Java program to export the node names with their latitude and longitude from an older NetXMS server to a newer one.  Thank you for all your help!  Andrew

@tomaskir said in Help with Java API:

You need to call "s.syncObjects();" after login, so it syncs server objects to the local client.

Also, please use [code] tags when pasting code next time

THANK YOU!!! that was the pierce to the puzzle I was looking for, and I will use the code tag in the future.

Second question, I see a getGeolocation() method for getting the geolocation, but how does one go about setting the geolocation?  Andrew

Hello, I am trying write a simple Java program to help automate some tasks, and I am having some difficulty working with the API.  I wrote this test program:

// NetXMS API Version 2.0.4

import org.netxms.client.*;
import org.netxms.base.*;
import org.netxms.client.objects.*;

public class xmstool
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        
        try
        {
            NXCSession s = new NXCSession("NetXMS server");
            s.connect();
            s.login("user", "password");
            
            if(s.isConnected())
            {
                System.out.println("Connected");
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Not connected");
            }
            
            AbstractObject node = s.findObjectByName("name of node");
            
            if(node == null)
            {
                System.out.printf("Did not find node\n");
            }
                        
        } catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Fail");
            
        }
    }
}

I the program runs, and connects to the server, but I am not able to get a valid node object no matter what name I search for.  Am I missing something? Andrew
