NetXMS Support Forum

Hi all.

How I can insert a macro substitution into a normal DCI description field?

I wish to carry parameter DCI {instance} content, into nomal DCI description (no template), without copy-paste it.

Best regards.

To handle a large amount of objects could also be interesting to have a special tool to read a formatted text file and load it on the NetXMS server in batch mode.

Hi Victor, thanks for your reply.
I completely agree with you, event processing policy is the best place, but now the binding process should be made by calling corresponding function from script.
I'm trying to use NetXMS in a fairly extensive network (more than 400 locations) and manual deployment work (object by object) is quite hard, since many of data to be incorporated into NetXMS come from external data sources.
It would be extraordinary through scripts we could automate any action we can do through menu options: create, modify, binding, removing objects, ...and if it were possible to read and write text-delimited files on the server, we could do anything in NetXMS. Sounds great.
Best Regards.

Linux snmptrap, snmpinform commands sends an SNMP notification to a manager. Other devices can be configured to send traps to NetXMS server.

In adition, You can use this topic as a reference: https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/how-to-configure-snmp-traps-from-my-emc-box/.

Hi all,

It would be great if NetXMS could create containers, conditions, nodes, bind objects, etc., within a Auto Bind filter script  . In this way, we could not only filter by IP, but after create a group of containers will hold node, customize and autobind it. So automatic network discovery would be complete.

For example, suppose I want self-discovery a node IP 192.168.1.100, and when it has been discovered, NetXMS create a new node name "New Node", just under a "Routers" existing container, but previously creating two sub-containers "City -> Zone" hanging from "Routers".
My desire Auto Bind script could be something like:
If $ node->ipAddr == 192.168.1.100    {
   CreateContainerGroup ("Services.Routers", "City",)   //Step by step
   CreateContainerGroup ("Services.Routers.City ","Zone ",)   //Only one step
   CreateNode ("Services.Routers.City.Zone"," New Node ", 192.168.1.100);
   return 1;   //Apply Auto Bind
   }

return 0;   //Nothing to do

This will require a few new functions for Accessing Object Data:
CreateContainerGroup (<path from root>, <container name>, <bind to object name>)
CreateNode (<path from root>, <node name>, <ip address>)
CreateCondition (...
...

I hope someone else had this need.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

The web based console, provides the additional benefit of being able to access NetXMS server from any location, unique for all platforms. In addition, it allows automate certain tasks via pluggins browser, such as iOpus iMacros plugin. In this way we could record and replay repetitious work, export data from NetXMS, import data to NetXMS from external databases or files,...
In my opinion, you should focus all efforts on the web console.

Best regards

Does this mean that new version will be released in late June?
We are eager ...

Best regards.

Hello!

   
How can I automatically replace node names and their comments whether with SNMP OID or with Sugar Community Edition database information, during discovery or later?

Is there something similar to zabbix actions discovery based?

Thanks in advanced.

Ok. Thanks for the explanation. 
Now it complete auto bind/apply. But it takes a few minutes. Is there any parameter in server configuration that I can setting to make it faster?

Quote...$node variable is an object, and you need to compare it's name attribute.

What other attributes for $node object? Some other usefull objects->attributes for auto bind/apply operations?


Best regards.

Hello again.

I am trying to prove automatic template application and automatic node binding to containers based on filters (node name begins with "FG100A") and do not work none of these filters:

Quotesub main()
{
return left($1,6) = "FG100A" ? 1 : 0;
}

Quotesub main()
{
return left($node,6) = "FG100A" ? 1 : 0;
}

Quotesub main()
{
return left($node,6) = "FG100A" ? $node : 0;
}

What is wrong?
Thanks in advanced

Do you have considered if feasible reuse WilmaScope code?

QuoteHi, thanks for the great mapping, it is full of possibilities.

Are you planed to abandon map project? Are you planed publish sources for integration with NetXMS project?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Hello!

Any news about this?. Some information was certainly valuable.

Best regards.

Hello.

Are you planned Application Dependency Mapping and End User Experience Monitoring implementation at some future point for NetXMS?
These are a couple of interesting references for it:

And this is an interesting exposition about The Four Dimensions of Application Performance Monitoring:
