NetXMS Forum

Sorry for unearthing the request from the grave. I know this request has been a while, I recently back and updated my netxms setup not sure if this is already adopted or there's a plan of adding this feature.

It would be nice to have a feature that it saves configuration equipment (ex Switches) and pool this data (ex everyday) and have a history data what changes. Some sort of SVN type. You can see difference from new config from previous config (ex. Added Line, Changed lines and removed lines). Right now we use RANCID ( link: http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/ ) for doing it, it would be nice if this feature integrated or built in into Netxms.

This topic is old but I need to know if it is already implemented on RC1 release?

Thanks Victor. Looking forward for the next release

I found the data I needed on topology > Switch Forwarding Database (Mac Address Table) now what I need is how can I use these data into an event? Example, If multiple macs found on the particular interface. it will generate an alert.

How? Can you help enlighten me? thanks!

Hi,

How can netxms detect multiple mac address on the interface ? (not on uplink or bridge aggregate) . The reason i ask because most of our users bring cheap network hub/switch inside the campus. LLDP, CPD, FDB etc. wont able to detect this as switch or any network device. So if i can detect multiple mac address in the edge switch interface its more likely its a hub or switch.

Thanks,
Doki

M4 rocks! it now detects H3c Stacks and everything.... Nice update Victor. Thank!

Am I doing it correctly? Please see attached.

HPSW Driver is not working on Model: H3C S5500-52C-PWR-EI(H3C S5500-52C-PWR-EI) switch from previous version until M3.

No problems on Model: JG240A (HP A5500-48G-PoE+ EI) switch HPSW driver was recognized.

Hi Victor,

Can you give me an example? Thanks

Thats the best approach but problem is OID for "no of down AP's" was depreciated by Aruba so I monitor the number of online AP instead of down AP and the make a work around transformation script that could return a down AP (diff from known AP which is 71 71). I know there could be a better approach on this so need an expert advise

thanks victor for the reply. now i have an idea on how to use Diff from previous now:) i can use it on my other monitoring.

If my understanding is correct, this is what you mean? please refer to attached picture. this resolved the alert issue if there's an additional AP went down

Another problem I'm thinking is I will return the "$1" in my email alert (e.i. Total of 1 AP(s) is down, Please login to aruba controller for more info). In this new config I will got negative value? or I will just create a transformation script?

In my existing config I just create a conversion script:

sub main()
{
  if ($1 >= 71)
    return 71;    //no event will be generated
   
  else
    return (71 - $1);  //event will be generated and return the no. of AP went down.
}

My threshold would be last(1) != 71 will generate alarm and returned diff of total AP and current AP total

my event/email alert:
Total of the actual value"%4" AP(s) is down, Please login to aruba controller for more info)

Hi,

I currently monitoring our 71 Aruba AP's, the AP's is controlled by a master aruba controller. I manage to get the total no of AP in the controller via SNMP and create an alarm and email Alert me if the total AP is not equal to 71. And resolve this alarm and alert me (email) if total AP is equal to 71. This works well so far.

The problem I encounter now is if I have outstanding alarm (ex 1 AP down) and then another 1 AP just went down with outstanding alarm is not resolved. It will not create another alarm. Data collection detects the total AP down is 2 now but no alarm generated since the first alarm is still outstanding.

is there any way i can resolved it? thanks in advance!

Thanks info victor! This would be added to our wish list

Hi,

Is there a feature in netxms that can attach a graph on email alerts? Example if it detects a high CPU usage it will attach the performance graph of the CPU usage in addition to messages?

Thanks

Hi Victor,

Upgrading to the latest boot ROM and firmware won't recognize the h3c S5500 switch as HP A5500. I guest we have to include the H3C OID in HPSW driver on the next version of netxms.

Thank!

Here's the SNMP Object OID detected by Netxms.

H3C S5500

.1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.1.4

HP A5500

.1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.11.1.27

Hi,

I think i found a bug on this version... H3C branded switches (S5500) (same as HP A5500) the driver is not loaded.

System Description on HP:
System Description: (Working) HP Comware Platform Software, Software Version 5.20 Release 2208 HP A5500-48G-PoE+ EI Switch with 2 Interface Slots Copyright (c) 2010-2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

System Description on H3C:

Both switches is identical except for branding and firmware version.

Due to a lot of issues I've encounter on this version (1.2.17) such as sudden stop of netxms core service, dci errors, I've revert my installation to previous version 1.2.16 and still on windows 2008 R2 SP1 64bit. No issues encounter so far on netxms version 1.2.16.
