We just published NetXMS version 6.0.5 - hopefully last patch release before 6.1. Changes since previous patch release:

- Fixed error in log view after console reconnect
- Fixed incorrect gap detection on line charts
- Fixed bug in handling permanent authentication token expiration time
- Fixed server crash during dashboard template processing
- Added -Z/-L mappings for AI, deployment, downtime, and incident log tables in nxdbmgr
- Fixed issues:
  - #1052 / NX-842 (Ability to switch bar chart from lef-to-right rendering to right-to-left)
  - #2561 / NX-2355 (An IP address from a Cluster object does not appear on a map in the address map)
  - #3033 / NX-2831 (Custom attribute value lost on child object)
  - #3050 / NX-2848 (Issues pinning views on WEB UI)
  - #3135 (nxdbmgr migrate: "-Z" should skip related tables)
  - #3139 (serial\_number field on nodes table too small)

I just fixed that, we will publish patch release 6.0.5 soon.

We somehow quietly published patch release 4 for version 6.0. Due to our participation in MWC 2026 last week packaging and publishing of 6.0.4 was very discreet. Changes since previous patch release:
- File delivery policy deployment uses separate agent connection to avoid interference with data collection
- NXSL removes trailing zeroes from floating point value representation (unless explicitly set as string)
- Database manager supports parallel table migration
- Internal node name resolver cache in syslog processor
- Fixed issues:
   - #2378 / NX-2171 (In Configuration-\>Object Tools-\>General-\>Icon, give more info about image size accepted)
   - #2920 / NX-2717 (Custom attribute conflict is not resolved back to normal)
   - #3128 / NX-2928 (Add --resolve parameter option to NetworkService.Status)
   - #3129 / NX-2929 (Left column of elements not displayed in interface Overview tab)
   - NX-2932 (File deployment from multiple policies should be serialized)
   - NX-2933 (External metric provider may leave orphaned processes on Windows)

Quote from: johnnyva on March 02, 2026, 11:04:34 PM@victor Also, the timestamp conversion will be a background task after netxms server/db upgrade?  If so, how will nxsl/rest api present the timestamps when not all timestamps have been converted?  Will we have a mix of seconds and millisecond timestamps or will netxms server convert seconds to milliseconds even if the db entry has not been updated by the background task yet?

Yes, conversion is a background task (but you should upgrade straight to 6.0.4), server will do conversion in background. Internally server renames idata tables, create new empty tables, and gradually moves data from old to new with conversion. So API will not see incorrect timestamps, but for some time after server start you will not see older data.

Just to clarify - you mean you have created VPN or VLAN interface on Mikrotik device, and it is not visible in "Interfaces" view?
One note on newly added interfaces - they will appear in NetXMS after next configuration poll. You can manually force configuration poll by selecting Poll -> Configuration from node menu.
If new interface did not appear after configuration poll, please provide more specific details on interface type and how it is configured in Mikrotik so we could reproduce the issue.

It's either something is still missing in the configuration, or there is firewall or connectivity issue.
Can you share screenshot of your network discovery configuration?
Also, note that discovered nodes will appear in "Network" perspective with default configuration. To make them appear in "Infrastructure" perspective you have to create containers with auto-bind filters.

Just published 6.0.3 - it should have the fix.

Today we have published patch release 3 for version 6.0. Changes since previous release:

- Added wireless controller bridge for Aruba Instant controllers (PR #257)
- Improved interactive SSH mode support
- Improved web API
- Windows agent renames in-use files during upload if they cannot be replaced
- Fixed incorrect handling of empty tool call list in LLM response
- Fixed bug in database schema upgrade on Microsoft SQL Server
- Fixed issues:
   - NX-2369 (Option to add number of items in a container)
   - NX-2867 (Disable "Create database and database user before initialization" if SQLite selected in Windows installer)
   - NX-2922 (New agent actions: enable / disable ExternalMetricProvider)

I've found the issue. When no tool calls needed, your model returns tool_calls as empty array, but server code only checks for missing or null tool_calls. Just fixed that, upcoming patch release should work as expected.

Quote from: johnnyva on February 23, 2026, 11:42:37 PMHey Victor will the change in idata/tdata timestamp to millisecond impact the REST API or NXSL dci values? i.e. will we see millisecond timestamp there as well or will we only see change in db?

New REST API (webapi module) - it is using ISO 8601 format for timestamps which allows milliseconds (although 5.x did not set millisecond part), any decent ISO 8601 parser should handle milliseconds correctly.
Old REST API (Java app) - should be unaffected.
NXSL - all timestamps for collected data are now in milliseconds.

Best regards,
Victor

I notice that it also missing prompt files. They are here: https://github.com/netxms/netxms/tree/master/src/server/aitools/prompts

Yes, that's a bug in Windows installer. We plan to publish patch release 6.0.3 today or tomorrow, it will have skill files included.
In the meantime, you can try to place them into correct folder manually. All skill files can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/netxms/netxms/tree/master/src/server/aitools/skills
