NetXMS Support Forum

Hello everyone,

Could someone please help with the following:

The agent on a monitored server running windows 2003 sends an invalid character as a result, instead of a string/number. (See attachment 02, 03 and a working one on another server: Attachment 04)

Running the script from a command line gives the correct response... (See attachment 01)

Some additional information:
1. Server OS: Win 2003 R2 32Bit SP2
2. Agent OS: Win 2003 R2 32Bit SP2
3. NetXMS server version is 1.2.5
4. NetXMS client version is 1.2.5
5. NetXMS server database collation: utf8_general_ci

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sincere greetings,
Peter.

Hello all,

I need to monitor some DB parameters. I noticed by accident, that there is an oracle.nsm subagent, that can monitor different DB-parameters. However after hours of trying, I still  do not succeed getting info back. Could someone please have a look?
The agent and the console are running both on different machines on win 2003 and the database is running on Centos Linux (Oracle 11; no agent installed). NetXMS version is 1.21.


1. I installed the server binary on both machines, because simply copying the oracle.ddr made the agent crash.
2. I added following lines to the agent config file:

#
# NetXMS agent configuration file
# Created by server installer at Wed Jun 27 09:51:15 2012
#

LogFile = {syslog}
Servers = <serverip>
InstallationServers = <serverip>
FileStore = C:\NetXMS121\var
RequireAuthentication = no
SubAgent = winperf.nsm
SubAgent = portcheck.nsm
SubAgent = oracle.nsm

*oracle
Id = DB1
TnsName = SID
UserName = USER
Password = PASS

3. After starting the agent via CMD prompt, I get the following:
(See attachment)

4. So everything looks allright, BUT requesting from the NetXMS console:
Oracle.DBInfo.IsReachable() => gives: 'Current value is "NO"'
Oracle.DBInfo.Name() => gives following error: 'Query agent' has encountered a problem. Cannot get current parameter value: Requested data collection item is not supported by agent.

I really have no idea anymore what has to be changed to make this work. Any help is really appreciated!!

Thanxx in advance,
Peter.

Hello again,

I'm looking for a solution to test an oracle instance on Ms Win.
I would like to do a fake login (eg: sqlplus false_user/false_password@oracleinstance), and one way or another make a dci of the result...
I already do a check on port 1521 (ora listener) and check the service of the oracle instance.
Any help with this, or suggestions about other solutions would be very appreciated!

Thank you very much in advance!!
Peter.

Hello again,

Is it possible to keep a history of the results of a condition? It does not seem possible to create a DCI: Internal/child.status(condition)!
Is there a way to create such a history?

PS: I need the condition, because I need to calculate with results of the DCI's of different nodes.

Thanxx in advance!

Hello again,

I need to make a php page that shows the uptime of various services monitored by NETXMS.
I found most of the data I need, but have a problem with 'DATES' that are stored in the database. Could you please tell me how I can extract the date and time from date and time fields (eg: alarms.creation_time, alarms.change_time, idata_xx.idata_timestamp etc)?
Also, the idata_xx tables. What is the number the xx refers to?

Thank you very much in advance!
Peter.

Hello everyone,

First a happy new year and best wishes for everyone.

I would like to know how the function Log.Scan is used. I can see it on one of the screenshots, but don't find any documentation on it.
I basically want to read a text file, and check for the content of the file...

Thanxx in advance for the help...
Peter.

Hello there,

Thank you in advance for such a nice piece of software! However I have a question about some service checking functionality. Ill try to keep it as general as possible, so that everyone can use the post.

If you create a service for a managed node to check, how do you create the service? Below is a table, and I only know the request and return codes for http. I'm very interested in FTP and user-defined.

Service:         Request code:                Return Code:

http:             server:/page.html            ^HTTP/1\.[01] 200.*
ftp:               ??                                 ??
pop3:            ??                                 ??
snmp:            ??                                 ??
ssh:              ??                                 ??
user-defined:  ??                                 ??

Thank you for your help,
Best regards,
Peter.
