Title: Node groups
Post by: ofca on December 28, 2014, 01:48:46 AM
I'd like to differentiate between nodes in some way, to make things easier in for example DCI department.

For example, I'd like to have routers, switches and power supplies, so I can monitor for example latency/packet loss to routers, mains and battery voltage/amperage on power supplies, and setup correct alarms for nodes in groups. Is this possible without writing a lot of scripts?

Answering myself, I think what I'm looking for are containers and templates. The question is: can a node be in multiple containers?

Use templates for this.

A node can be in multiple containers and in multiple templates if needed.

Yeah, whole-night marathon was quite fun and educating. I'm starting to feel at home :)

Is there some donate link or subscription of some kind, like in observium?

NetXMS is entirely free.

You can however purchase support or training, or if you need a feature integrated that is not in NetXMS yet, there are support packages for that as well.

Yeah, I know it's free. But I like it. I like showing my appreciation, or my company's appreciation for that matter, so Victor keeps working on it :)
