Hi!

Creating a new node with any ip, netxms always gives ip 255.255.255.255 and a strange Primary Host Name.
Also, after upgrading to 1.1.5, old IP were restored in nodes with IP changed at some point.

Best regards.

Hi!

Do you enter only IP address, only name, or both when creating node? Also, what is server operating system?

Best regards,
Victor

I enter both fields: node name and node IP  address.
My operating system is a Linux Centos 5.

Best regards

I just tried to reproduce this issue on test server, but without success - everything work as expected. Could you please set debug level to 9 (you can do this while server is running by entering "debug 9" command on server console, either via management console or nxadm tool), try to create a new node, and send me the log?

Best regards,
Victor

Additional question - do you use old or new console for creating nodes? I encounter same issue with old console (nxcon.exe) connected to server 1.1.5. Java console connected to same server works fine.

Best regards,
Victor

I use Legacy console for 1.1.5 branch. I created a test environment and I am struggling with it. On the other hand, I get many errors when I try to reindex my database:

There is a bug in legacy console with node creation. I'll publish patched version later today.
You should not use reindex operation in nxdbmgr. It was created long time ago for one specific case and is currently broken. It need to be either fixed or removed. But why you need to reindex database?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor!

QuoteI'll publish patched version later today.

Thanks for you support.

Quote. But why you need to reindex database?

I was trying to prove something to solve this strange behavior


Best regards.

Patched legacy console available here: https://www.netxms.org/download/patches/009/netxms-console-1.1.5.1.exe

Thank you Victor.
It seems all work fine now.

Best regards.
