NetXMS Forum

one thing which i really don't understand is SNMP works , seen by pull -> status. However the graphe doesn't work. Can you help on that?

You can create dummy DCI or script DCI, that will take last value of the DCI and transform it to 0 in case of error.

Hi, Looks like this was fixed in 2.2.2, as per https://www.netxms.org/forum/general/dci-initital-type-conversion-before-translation-rule-works-different-since-2-2-1/. Cheers

Hi, Just as a follow up in case anyone else runs into this: It is an issue with WatchGuard firewalls from firmware 12.0.1 onwards and due to a change by WatchGuard. The ifIndex OID no longer returns a matching value, which leads to NetXMS' confusion. A ticket has been opened with WatchGuard. Cheers

Hi, likely is is because syslog message does not contain year in timestamp, only month and day. Server uses current year when parsing. So most likely those messages was delayed by few seconds, and actual parsing happens after midnight, and server just use current year, which was just changed. Probably we have to add some check for it - like if resulting timestamp is one year in the future and current date is 01.01 then assume previous year. Best regards, Victor

We are starting to implement tags for debug messages so that particular debug messages could be filtered, but unfortunately this has not been done yet for the messages in question.

Hi, just to confirm that this is a bug and it is fixed in current development branch. Will be included into next patch release. Best regards, Victor

Hi, It would be a nice feature to be able to filter values on a line graph. So instead of just setting the minimum and maximum Y values for the graph, which will still show the up/down spikes of values higher or lower than that, be able to actually set the maximum and minimum values to be returned and used for the graph. It can make a graph a lot more readable to be able to filter some data out. For usability the system shouldn't really ask you for those values when you select DCIs and say "Line Graph", but once the graph is shown, it could be an option to go into the properties of the graph and set the minimum/maximum values per data object on the graph. Cheers

Hi, Do " get stripped out of parameters when calling an Action via Object Tools? I am trying to run a netsh command which requires me to place the interface name in quotes, but the command is not working and the command is logged without quotes in the agent log (debug level 7). The command also seems to be cut short, (presumably related to the quotes). I have an action that triggers the following: cmd /c $1 and I am passing netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface interface="Ethernet 2" The log then tells me it is executing this: cmd /c netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface interface=Ethernet And the result is that the command of course doesn't work as expected. Thanks

Hi, you can use time formats, environment variables, and shell commands for file name expansion in parsers. To insert environment variable, use macro ${name}. To insert result of shell command use form `command`. Time formats are the same as supported by strftime (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/strftime/). Best regards, Victor

Oops That probably was intention but actual code was never written. Of course you still can use SSH subagent to execute something - just create script action which will call agent parameter or list SSH.Command. For example, to get remote directory you can use script data = AgentReadList($node, "SSH.Command(ls /)"); Best regards, Victor

Hi, it's probably the only way - but polling will still go through agent on NetXMS server, not directly. Make sure agent running on the server has necessary proxy settings. Best regards, Victor

good point. I registered a feature request in Issue tracker here: https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-1275

Hi, It would be nice to have the ability to create a node from an unbound agent tunnel. If the Agent configuration includes a Zone ID, it should be possible to search if such a node already exists in the system, e.g. by checking IPs & hostname? That could also be used to automatically bind tunnels to existing nodes if there is a 100% match. Even just having the ability to right-click on a node in the Agent Tunnel Manager and selecting "Create Node" would be helpful when you roll out Agents to dozens/hundreds of nodes. Cheers

Hi, Earlier today I created a network map and noticed that some of the configured labels on switches were incorrect, so I went ahead and reconfigured those on the switches. I then ran an interface name poll and assumed the map would update its link labels. But it did not. The old labels remained. I ran configuration and topology polls as well, same result. Do link labels not get updated? Is this a one-off thing that maps do when they create a new connection between devices (i.e. check the interface names, then statically store the current value as part of the connection object itself)? This is an automated L2 map, so I can of course recreate it, but doing so just because a link label needs an update seems excessive? Or is that something that's updated as part of housekeeping once a day? Cheers

Yes and no. The firewalls do allow configuring multiple physical interfaces as a single Bridge or VLAN interface, which in effect turns those physical ports into a switch. Any traffic that is passed between such physical interfaces is Layer 2 only, and there is no routing involved. Of course we also have setups where each interface is indeed in another network and then all traffic routed. Especially smaller sites though will quite often only have one external interface and the remaining ports joined into a single VLAN interface with multiple devices connected to it. Cheers

Well, ignore me. Looks like I hit a bit of caching that caused me grief here. It's still the same principle as with Agent Commands. <script> %(inputfield1) %(inputfield2) ... and reference as $1, $2, etc. inside the script. All works.

Hi, peer node is an interface attribute, so nodes connected by multiple interfaces should be shown as peers for each interface. I will try to simulate this issue in my lab network tomorrow - maybe something is broken. Best regards, Victor

Closing the Alarm Browser makes a huge difference, so for the last few days, we have avoided opening it. Clicking on a container or network in the system with Object Details open can slow it right down again and it does seem to depend on the number of alerts. My guess right now is that loading the alarms is triggering this, maybe adding the zones column is causing some queries to run a lot slower? Some missing index? Not sure if my other issue with "Change Zone" in the GUI not actually moving a device into the matching Zone is related either. (Change zone moving devices into the zone with the Object ID of the Zone selected, instead of the Zone GUID).

Hi, added to bug tracker: https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-1269 Best regards, Victor
