RE: Help on features of NetXMS

Hello!

1. Templates

Templates is fully implemented. You can use them as follows:

1. Create a template and add data collection items to it (as I
understand, you have done this successfully).
2. Apply template to one or more nodes (right click on template object
and choose "Apply...", then select nodes to apply template to).

You can check that template was applied successfully by opening data
collection configuration for node - you should see DCIs from applied
template. Any furtehr changes in the template will be applied to
associated nodes after you close template's data collection
configuration window.

2. Autodiscovery

It's a known bug that isRouter is not set correctly (actually, it's
never set). I will correct this in upcoming version 0.2.3. If don't look
to this flag, was subnets behing your Cisco router discovered corectly?

3. Layer 2

We have plans for layer 2 topology support and layer 2 autodiscovery,
but it is not a high-priority goal. You can expect this functionality in
a 3 to 6 months.

4. Dependency on services

What do you exactly mean?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi.

Can anyone tell me how to use the template, is it fully implemented?
I've tried to add data collection items to it, and was hoping that ther
was a way to bind a template to a client. Is this the supposed use of
templates?

Another thing. Autodiscovery doesn't work well across routers. NetXMS
doesn't even detect that the router device is a router. The router is a
Cisco C3620. The detected SNMP OID is .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.122. Isnt the
IsRouter supposed to be True.

Is there any plans of implementing a network topology map (Layer 2
view)? Dependency on services ?
