NetXMS Support Forum

During the last days, I upgraded our 2.2.12 NetXMS to 3.9.334 (mostly painless).
I also upgraded the agents on most of our servers (with the exception of some CentOS6 machines).

However, I was used to restart the agent from the console (Node=>Tools=>Restart agent).
With the 3.9 agent, this works only on the Windows servers.

On CentOS7, this stops the agent (and requires manual restart on the target machine).

Do I miss some configuration option ?

Regards,

Thomas

How the agent is actually started? Is there some startup script?
if you do
ps fax | grep nxagentd
what commang line parameters are visible there?

ps fax returns
/3086 ?        Ssl   27:08 /opt/netxms/bin/nxagentd -d -c /etc/nxagentd.conf


On system startup, I use a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/nxagentd (attached).
However, the restart usually worked with a few 2.2 versions and the same startup configuration.

With Agent 2.2.10, I get in the log

Hi,

looks like bug in new agent. I will try to reproduce it on my CentOS 7 test system.

Best regards,
Victor
