NetXMS Support Forum

Hello fellow admin,

I want to monitor very simple wifi enabled battery powered clocks.
those clock only send syslog message when executing NTP sync. (see image)
and only connect to wifi when syncing to save battery power. (5 times a day)

Ho to monitor up status ? like if there is more then 8:30hours past no syslog message received mark as offline status

Second create a DCI for the Synchronised and Battery TAG in syslog.

So i can create action rules if the Battery TAG of a clock is not  "Battery OK" or the Synchronised TAG is not "Synchronised".

Try to create a syslog parser could not get it to work.

At the moment the node only has the default DCI, i know how to create DCI templates but not ho to us a syslog status to update de DCI of a host.

Thanks.

Hello fellow IT admins,

I have LDAP conneciton with the default LDAP.SearchFilter --> (objectClass=*) .
this has more then 1000 users importing NetXMS.
I already narrow down the LDAP.SearchBase.

I want to change the LDAP.SearchFilter to only include users from the "Department ICT"
I have tried different LDAP.Searchfilter strings, all resulting in 0 users getting pulled..

(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(department=<Departement ICT>))
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=*)(department=<Departement ICT>))
(department=<Departement ICT>)

There is little to non documentation/examples ho to implement this.
I have found those strings syntax online.

Ho has a working example ?
using latest version NetXMS Server Version 5.1.3
Thank!

Does anyone knows what the attribute name is for the "System description" value of a node in de "General" page ?
I want to use it in a autobind rule for a  container : return $node->systemdiscription == "Canon iR-ADV 4735 /P";

Is there a list with all the attribute that can be used, and ho to use wildcards ?

Hello,

i want to check ssl certificate expiration date of some websites. (nodes that i added in netxms)
in a post i have found to add a "externalparametershellexec"

ExternalParameterShellExec = HTTPS.CertificateExpireDate(*):echo | openssl s_client -showcerts -servername netxms.org -connect netxms.org:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -inform pem -noout -enddate | cut -d = -f 2


when i open de netxms agent (on windows pc version 2.2.17 ) and right click on a node "edit agent's configuration file" i get the error "The chosen operation is not enabled".
then this option got "grayed out".
i am logged in with a LDAP user member of the default "Admins" group with full access.

1:How do i accomplish this ? Netxms is running on linux server, and there is no update available.
2: Can I use a variable in this external command to replace "netxms.org" with the node "primary host name" (is url)

so i can create a data collection configuration template for the container containing the url's to monitor the certificates expiration warning?
So for the node (website) i can see the expiration time of the ssl certificate, and use Thresholds to create a alarm when close to expiring or expired, and create a summary table.

Hi,

With a DCI i get a Hex-string  "56 4E 42 51 44 39 4B 30 59 46"
Online i can let it translate to text ( https://coding.tools/hex-to-ascii ) , then i get "VNBQD9K0YF" This is a serial number of a printer.

Ho knows the Netxms scripting language to use in de transformation part of the DCI to get this Hex-string transformed to text in Netxms?

Greetings

Hello,
I trey to put the Primary IP in de DCI table, so i can use it in summary tables.
I trey using DCI with internal and {primary_node_ip} but does not work.
also i trey the %a (works in objects tools).

So ho can the primary IP (that is visual in de overview) be added to the DCI values of the object ?

Thanks!

Hello,
I receive following example SNMP trap when an interface go in port security shutdown.
06.11.2017 16:15:16   10.10.0.9   switch-lesgebouw-gelijksvloer.localdomein.be   .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.0.213   .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.2.3.1.0 == '%LINK-W-PORT_SUSPENDED: Port gi6 suspended by port-security'; .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.2.3.2.0 == '1'
for this snmp trap i created a SNMP Trap Mapping with a event SNMP_PORT_LOCK --> create event processing policy -->  Alarm + send notification to Slack webhook.

So far everyting works fine.
Wat i try to do is add the interface alias (ifalias) in the message alarm and slack.
so that when the alarm is send , i know in human tekst the location / room number like i see when looking at the interface table of this node.

I think with some kind of tranformation script, using the string --> filter out the interface id --> example "gi6" , use this value to look up de ifalias and save it as extra variable .. .

Hello,

Most projectors have these day a ethernet card,
but not all projectors support SNMP, but they all support the PLlink protocol. (http://pjlink.jbmia.or.jp/english/ )

(read info, lamp and filter hours, start up en shutdown projectors, select video source ...)

Is this someting that netxms can do in de furture ? or is iet possible to use de pjlink dll in a script ?

Hello,
First off, Netxms is a really great tool !
I use it for our school (32 Cisco SG300 series switches, 1 Catalys c2960 , )
but the power comes from DCI and thus MIB..
that last one is really problematic ...
i have literary try for hours to compile MIB for our Cisco SMB switchen (SG300 series ) and our UPS ..
after hours of trying, manual fix syntax error --> http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/bin/smitools.cgi upload mib file to this site to test the syntax ..
At last i have deleted the mib files and the compiled one in de mibs folder (/usr/share/netxms/mibs)
just adding the MIB for the UPS (infosec) UPSmib.txt ,  not compiling needing SNMPv2-SMI.txt and RFC115-SMI.txt and RFC1682.txt ..
after searching on the internet found these but do not work .. pff
After testing the UPSmib.txt there was a problem with the "COMPANYMIB: ERROR 001: Import symbol "MODULE-IDENTITY" unresolved "
follow this website to trey the module-identity error.. fix some syntax but nothing helps .. http://www.muonics.com/Docs/MIBSmithy/UserGuide/moduleids.php
Try to Resolved this issue with adding the MODULE-IDENTITY but still this error .. adding the Cisco sg300 MIB errors ...
Who has expert skils to fix this ... or help me ?
Is there a way to download the correct MIB that are included in the Netxms distribution ? or how to restore de default MIB ?
i attached the MIB for Cisco SMB and UPS Infosec
Also i found this link of de MIB of Netxms but how do you download all this MIB ? without one by one opening an copy-past tot text file ??
http://git.netxms.org/public/netxms.git/tree/refs/heads/develop:/contrib/mibs?js=1
Ho to convert MIB V1 or V2 to V3 so that Netxms accept it ?
i have the latest NETXMS server installed on Linux
Use management console on windows workstations and android.

The Cisco MIB zip file is not uploading ! error 413 here is my onedrive link to the file ! --> https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aj037gJtNd7Bpe0gaqkQuZqp2XsRMg

I use the http://packages.netxms.org/debian wheezy beta
repository, upgraded to 2.0-RC1-2 but apt-get upgrade is NOT finding the 2.0-RC2

agent on windows pc = 2.0-RC2
