NetXMS Support Forum

Hello,

Is it possible to control a PDU using NetXMS?

Yes, should be possible. If it supports SNMP - you can control it out of the box, just matter of the configuration.
If management is available over any other kind of proprietary protocol - you'll need to create some script for integration.

Hello,

I'm working with that right now. We're using APC PDUs but the MIBs from APC seem to contain some error or something because when browsing the MIB using the built in MIB Browser I can't drill down to certain OIDs other than using walks and picking the OID manually.

But yes, it works fine to monitor the PDUs.
I recommend you to use a template.

I'm about to try to CONTROL, not to monitor APC PDU.
Hope everything will be fine, if not, questions will follow.

Thank you for the answers

Could you, please advise me, how to create an dashboard object like button, whitch changes the value of an OID from 1 to 2 (sends SET) and also color depending on value.

The PDU is APC AP920 and I found apropriate OID

Great idea, could you advise me, where to find the templates?

You need to create your own.
What I have is a template called APC-PDU and to that I assign (called apply in the meny) all new PDUs so that DCIs are created for each new PDU.
Talking about "apply" I would consider changing that to "assign"...

Would you share your template with me, i'm novice at NetXMS things.
