NetXMS Forum

Hey.
Just FYI, I put the executable in the System32 folder and it executed. This inquiry is resolved. Thanks!

Hey,
Thanks for the quick response. I ended up having a child right after I posted that. So I was out for a little bit getting him and his mom settled in.
Anyway, that SEEMS to work. Just got to do some adjusting. I was wondering though, which directory is that command fired from? If it's on a Windows machine would it be launched from the NetXMS\bin folder? C:\NetXMS\bin

From the NetXMS server I'm monitoring a node using both standard SNMP OIDs as well as proprietary SNMP OIDs and through some of the proprietary OIDs I can see a critical outage with the node still being online. The node I am monitoring does not have an operating system where I could install anything or even run an automated script. I could put in a secondary device next to the node that I could send a cURL command to which could run a script from there. So I was wondering if anyone had an idea of a way to launch a bash script or send a cURL command based on an event in NetXMS.

Any thoughts about implementing a dark mode for the WebUI?

Is it possible to call the WebAPI outside of Grafana? Is there anywhere that lists the calls and endpoints so we could maybe integrate NetXMS with our own front end user interface?

Is there scripting language in NXSL to call a SOAP or REST service? Are there any plans to implement this?

Hey Victor, I was messing with it yesterday, and that was actually the primary reason it wasn't working. I had the DCI set as a string instead of a float. I also found the reference to all of the math related commands as well. Like format(variable, 1, 2); So if the variable was 34.5731 the result would be 34.57. Works great. Currently, I think I'm all set in this area. Thanks.

I understand that the dashboard elements won't display partial numbers. I have some custom attributes that go to the 1/1,000,000 so... 11.111111
The problem is that it seems if the custom attribute is anything but a whole number, it displays it as 0. What is available in the script maybe or something else to cast the attribute as an integer instead of a float? Or is there something in the dashboard configuration that could make this even simpler?

So, I did some more research. It seems like there may be a compatibility issue? Regardless of whether or not this is running on a Windows server these certificates need to be made using Linux compatibility?

Hey Tursiops,
I'm getting the same error, but I did build out the certs on the NetXMS server.
[03-Aug-2017 12:38:36.561] [ERROR] Cannot load server certificate from [location I put in] (error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line)
Do you, or anyone else know what "start line" they are looking for? I've seen people post that some certs are written in a sort of XML style, JSON style, example
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
stuff here
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>

Thanks! This all answers what I needed perfectly!

We have a pfSense server as our firewall for our data center. That operates three data servers, two report servers, and three website servers with a total of seven websites. I think our bandwidth is 50mb up and 50mb down. I'm not planning on pushing this until the stable release. I was just doing prep work for it. We do have something like 120 PCs currently that we're wanting to set up these agent tunnels. By next year we'll probably have added over 300-400 more, and in two years, the ideal plan is probably several thousand.
If these tunnels are anything like IPSEC tunnels then each bit of communication has an added (more or less) 100 bytes of data. A standard of SNMP packet sizes are 1500 bytes. So if the agent matches these and is doing a constant push, opposed to a heartbeat, you can guess roughly 1600 bytes per unit. At 2000 units this would be a CONSTANT 32 megabyte draw on the bandwidth.
So, it all may sound negligible, but it adds up.

So, the push agents installed on the clients establish a tunnel with the server. Is there a constant bandwidth demand on the server side per client? Does it make intermittent pushes? How exactly would I calculate the load on the firewall/server?

Well, through some self exploration, I realized that I needed to change the DataDirectory in the config file. This fixed several things, but the image icons still don't show up on the world map where the GPS coordinates point them to. Any thoughts?

I think we were on version 1.8 until recently when we upgraded to 2.08. At that point we lost all of our world map icons. Through some research, I saw it's because the image folder changed. I was waiting for this 2.1RC1 release before worrying about it, because we were going to use custom, dynamic images anyway. Now that I have updated it, and set the script to update the images. Whenever I go to a node and click on "Map Appearance" I get an error "Could Not Accept Changes" "The currently displayed page contains invalid values." When I click out of that error and actually go to the Map Appearance tab I have the "Presentation image" inputs, but the input field is about a fifth of the size as normal and the Dropdown appearance option is missing.
Additionally, what I've noticed is that no matter what I do with the network object images, when I look at the image table in the SQL server the GUID never changes. Does anyone have any ideas? The world map is completely empty. We lost our icons in the update. The only way I got them back in the network objects was by manually editing the SQL table and removing the protected status. Then changing the image back to the default image. But it's like they're still not there.

Mine, depending on what view I am in, tries to refresh every 3-5 seconds. It sometimes makes it nearly impossible to do anything as the "Processing" progress bar comes up and grays out the screen. I haven't seen a way to reduce the refresh rate.

I appreciate the response. Fortunately, we have the server hosted on a commercial grade server, I think with 16GB RAM. A Dell PowerEdge. The database, I think is hosted on a separate, equally powerful server. Currently, we are sitting at probably about 1000 nodes that we are monitoring. 50,000 is likely a huge stretch, but I wanted to give worst case scenario. That being said, are there any known issues in this latest beta? 2.1-M3? We are reluctant to put our current monitoring at risk by trying a beta. We are currently using the latest stable 2.0.8.
Thanks for your time!

I have been reading through forum after forum and I can't find someone trying to do anything near the level that I am trying to do.

I need to be able to manage up to 50-100 different devices with random private IPs potentially coming from different public IPs from the same site. I need to be able to also manage up to 1000 sites. Worst case scenario, this could end up being 50,000 nodes all potentially behind firewalls that cannot be configured.

I was looking at maybe doing SNMP and using proxies, but even still, I would, at the very least need one static internal IP with 4700 or 161 forwarded to that IP (this is also assuming that the public IP is static as well, which it might not be).

On the plus side, all of these nodes should be Windows OS. So, I was wondering. If I set up each device to run a script to poll the server (preferably with a header or some other information) can the server then report on the status of the incoming poll? Additionally, could the server be set to say, look for an incoming connection every 5 minutes and if it doesn't receive that connection from that node then it reports the node as down?

This is the only way I can really see this situation working. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
