Hello,

I have a remote network with routers and switches from which I can poll lots of info like ARP/FDB...

Is there a way to add this info in Object Interface view ? In network map (I've tried to add end nodes and change radius : no success) ?

I just would like to create raw network maps of connected devices without doing a full discovery.

Thanks

General Support / Custom Attributes
June 18, 2013, 04:20:43 PM
Hello,

I'm creating templates for switch management. We have both Cisco and HP switches.
To handle this, I'm creating templates per Makers and template to handle DCI and other things.

Do you know if it is wise to use Custom Attributes to store specific OIDs ?

Is it possible to retrieve Custom Attribute values directly from SNMP DCI page ? or do I need to code transformation script for an internal dummy DCI ?

If a custom attribute is declared twice (ie : one on 2 templates attached to one node), is it possible to know which one will be used ?

General Support / Instance Discovery questions
June 18, 2013, 12:34:35 PM
Hello,

I'm trying to use Instance Discovery with SNMP values.

Is there a way to modify DCI description ? I wanted to add dci per interfaces, and currently I can just concatenate interface ID with a text. Is it possible to change $dci->description value ? I've tried to do this in the filter script with no luck.

I also tried to use trace function, but it looks to be inactivated :(

Last thing, I've tried to SNMP walk OID with this one : .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16 (64bits values). I've got no result (I've cut and paste a config from Victor without success)

General Support / Kiosk and supervision screen only
June 17, 2013, 11:42:41 PM
Hello,

We would like to use netxms to provide a supervision Dashboards. I've started to create maps with equipment photos and status on top.

What are you using to do this (maps ?)? What is the best to display (html connection or full java console) ?

Is there a way to rotate screens (ie: switch some parts of the screen to see different info/room ?) ?
Is there a way to change dasboard screen when an alert is raised ? (an alert occured, and all the screens are switching to a view of the error DCI)
Is there a way to create icons depending on object status (we use labels, but sizeable lights would be easier to integrate on photos)

What is the use of rack object in Infrastructure Services ?
What is the best use of geo location ? (ie: I have multiple objects at the same location, do I use a container ?) ?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hello,

I was running successfully netxms with a big discovery. After 4 days, I decided to reboot the server. I've lost most of my config.
When I restarded managenement console, it complains about missing data (ie : tabs with dashboards, templates -> data seems to be deleted).

Any idea of how it occured ? Is there a cache between console and server ? When do the console commit data back to server ?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm testing netxms, first tests are quite promising :)

I'm doing some setup on the DCI History, I would like to keep data for at least 3 years. But it is useless to keep some data like CPU utilisation with a minute resolution.

Is there a way to keep after a defined period (ie: 1 month) an average value instead of a spot one ?

ie: I have a 60 seconds resolution of the last 30 days, then resolution is reduced to 30 minutes, after 1 year it is reduced to 1 h...

Thanks for your feedback
