thank you for you help.

For the 1ste step, the syslog parser, what are the condition to use ?
and do I need to select an event in this syslog parser ?

pleas see image in first message.

thanks verry much.

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.

Code Select Expand

(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=group))(department=Department1))

you can even use wildcards there:

Code Select Expand

(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=group))(department=Department*))


I have try it but i get not any users, do you have a example with a space in the string ?
my 2 treys are:

(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=group))(department="Department ICT"))
(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=group))(department=Department ICT))

I have no control over the naming of the department attribute

Quote from: Alex Kirhenshtein on January 21, 2025, 11:11:06 AMI usually filter by the base group, but you need to use ActiveDirectory(?) extensions to do it recursively, something like this:

Code Select Expand

(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=group))(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=...))


Hi Thanks,

As a workaround i created a dedicated group in AD and use Your solution ;-).
Is there no documentation with the use of "Department" attribute in AD ?

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!

Hello,

Thanks Alex, i will (try) update to the latest Debian.
This server was wayback installed as a project for a internship, Linux is not my main server environment.

i Suppose this will not be a problem for Netxms to upgrade when i have Debian 12 installed ?

Thanks for your help !

greetings,
Yordi

Hello,

As a very longtime Netxms user (for our education) i am stuck at 5.0.8 (linux debian install)
if i do apt-get update it will not find the 5.1.2 version, there are no updates..

is this still the correct deb repository : https://packages.netxms.org/debian buster InRelease ?
it was added with the "wget https://packages.netxms.org/netxms-release-latest.deb" command.

I hope that PJlink (control and monitory all our projectors at school) is maybe a new feature :

thanks,
Yordi

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 ?

Hi,
Nice new look and feel !
just 1 question, ho do you change the expected state of a interface ? --> old version was with right klick on the interface and change the expected state..
with version 4 this option is gone ?...

Hello,

for years, the netxms server (only have one) is running on linux debian.
there is no update anymore, just for windows servers.. so i can no update the netxms server.
these are the sources used on the linux server

# deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian wheezy beta
deb http://packages.netxms.org/debian jessie main

we have tons of nodes, and dci templates .. i do not know ho "easy" a server migration to windows will be ??

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.

Thanks, Victor

Works perfect !!

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
