NetXMS Support Forum

I'm trying to install the agent on a Raspberry pi (see version below), and am following instructions from the Wiki.

https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Using_APT_Repository

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks!

Can I please get some help with this?

Thanks

I believe you need to change the URL in your sources file to http://packages.netxms.org/raspian (from http://packages.netxms.org/debian).

https://packages.netxms.org/raspian returns 404.

Oops. That's because I misspelled it. It's raspbian, not raspian.
You can browse through the repository: https://packages.netxms.org/

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not quite sure what to do with this knowledge... how do I proceed?  I found a deb file under the raspbian folder and I tried this below:

What am I missing?

Hi,

you have to add new source for apt. Create new file named netxms.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with content like this:

deb http://packages.netxms.org/raspbian stretch main


You may also need to install GPG key with command

wget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Best regards,
Victor

Victor, thanks for the information.  This worked for me.

For those wanting all the info, below are all the steps I followed, however I had to comment out the other line (deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian stretch main) in netxms.list.  This file already existed, I guess due to some of the steps I followed earlier

Create new file named netxms.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with content like this, Comment out existing line

deb http://packages.netxms.org/raspbian stretch main
#deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian stretch main


wget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netxms-agent
sudo nano /etc/nxagentd.conf
sudo systemctl enable nxagentd

Edit nxagentd.conf and change MasterServers to your NetXMS server
The default file had 127.0.0.1/8, I had to remove the CIDR notation to get it to work


sudo service nxagentd restart


Just an update :

Point 1 :
 

Quoteyou have to add new source for apt in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Be carreful on version :deb http://packages.netxms.org/raspbian stretch main
  To know raspbian realease : cat /etc/os-release

Point 2 :

Quotewget -q -O - http://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -  => wrong
wget -q -O - https://packages.netxms.org/netxms.gpg | sudo apt-key add -  => Ok

Hello, I have a quite same issue. I tryed to compile Netxms agent for RPI5 Raspbian bookworm (PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)")
but i have some troubles with them. Would anyone be able to help me?

Pls try to run the agent in the foreground mode:

nxagentd -D 6

In this mode it should put it's log right to the terminal. Pls share the output

Hello I solve my problem thanks to one man on root.cz (it is in czech) https://forum.root.cz/index.php?topic=30974.msg429129#msg429129

I had compile this code for RPi5 and OPi5 with success.

English translation of this manual:

---

To compile on Raspberry Pi, install at least the basics for building. For the rest of the procedure, I assume you are using Debian 12.
Code: [Select]
apt install build-essential autoconf libssl-dev libpcre2-dev libmodbus-dev

Download the netxms source code from the website.
Code: [Select]
https://netxms.com/download/releases/5.2/netxms-5.2.7.tar.gz
Unzip it to /opt/netxms, for example.

Then run configure and make in the directory.
Code: [Select]
./configure --with-libmodbus --with-libssh --with-snmp --with-agent --with-openssl --with-client-proxy --with-static-subagents-list=ssh
make
make install
ldconfig
For systemd, the unit file is available after compilation in /opt/netxms/netxms-5.2.7/contrib/startup/systemd/netxms-server.service, so copy it to /etc/systemd/system
Create a basic configuration file in /etc/nxagentd.conf according to the documentation

Then register the unit, try to start the service, and check it out.
Code: [Select]
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start netxms-agent
systemctl status netxms-agent

This is the minimum configuration for the agent; hopefully, it will be sufficient for your purposes.
The agent log is according to the agent configuration, where you will find further operational information if it starts.
LogFile=/var/log/nxagentd

But I have some troubles with ssh connection to node from NetXMS client. Is it due to I am connecting from client without VPN and nodes are in VPN? Support for ssh should be included in the compilation.
