Title: IP camera without SNMP
Post by: Legoman on August 15, 2016, 06:48:46 PM
Hi,

We have some simple IP camera (without SNMP support) and I would like to monitor them (ping and perhaps web server response : I know how to call the image directly).

Is it possible ?

Thank you.

Of course. Simply distable Agent and SNMP polling for the camera, and create appropriate DCIs to monitor its ping and http interface response time.

Thank you for your time/answer.

I do it this way, but... the status is "Critical" and the ping <<ERROR>> (the camera is up and respond to ping).

Is the NetXMS server running on Linux or Windows?
What version of NetXMS?

Is the communication to the Camera proxied in any way (NetXMS Agent proxying)?

NetXMS server is running on Debian 8.5 and NetXMS server is version 2.05 Build 8070.
There is no proxy, direct connect between NetXMS server and IP camera.

NetXMS show an error on NetXMS server (see attached file), but it's here since the beginning.

Is netxmsd running as root or different account?
Is it jailed, etc. in any way?

netxmsd is running as root.

No jail, hack, update.
