Seems ok with disabled Discovery... It now runs without crash, before it crashed after 3 minutes...

Hi,

now I have a big problem with netxms...

I made some changes to devices. Deleted a few, changed the snmp community on some others and changed the default community in discovery.
Suddenly the server crashed, means the service stopped.

Now when I start it again, it runs a few minutes and then crashes again.
I test now with a disabled Active Discover


Any ideas what I can do?

Hi Victor,

thank you again for the quick reply.
I thought that a configuration poll will update the device name. Nice to have, but not really important.

It's ok for me to delete the devices I have renamed. At the next discover they are found correctly.

Hi,

We have 2 switches of the HP ProCurve series in our network. They were both discovered through snmp at initial discover.

In the object browser, both of them are called ""ProCurve Switch 2810-24G". I checked the config of these switches and gave them correct hostnames.
Then I did a configuration poll to the host, with the following output:

[21-May-2008 07:45:11] Sending poll request to server...
[21-May-2008 07:45:11] Poll request accepted

The device name should be siebru001n, as seen here:

What I am doing wrong?

As attachment you see the map how it looks at my network.

Just as an information for you

Scale 1:4


Btw: I played around with more maps in the latest release - but unfortunately there are no links between the devices, or I didnt check it
I will wait for the next release and then post again.

Hi,

Hi,

today I've scanned our whole network for a last test with netxms. Simply to see how it works with a large amount of devices and networks.

Well, there are no problems since the scan. Everything looks fine - everything but the map.
I started to drag some networks and device for a better view while the discover works in the background.

Then I deselect "Enable automatic layout" and used "save" to save my map layout.
But then new devices appeared in the upper-left corner. They become not connected, even after some time. The only way to show them connected where they should was by using the "redo layout" option.

Is there a way to get the maps saved and update the topology when new devices are found? Creating a new map layout when a new device comes online is no option for me...

Or do I something wrong?

Best regards,
Tom

very nice, thank you!

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Victor,

thank you for the quick reply. Nice to hear that you will work on it. So I can use the workaround with descriptions for the important devices and wait for the update. Or is there a chance to modify the OID for a single device (even at the database?)?
If I can help you with some testing I would like to do so

Greetings Tom

ok, checking the release notes is always good

I changed the useinterfaceAliases Parameter to "1" and now I see the descriptions on the port when they was set.

But all ports without a description looks like the above list.

I could work around this now with using more descriptions like "5/1 Servername", but using another mib location would be nice.

Hi all,

I'm in the final testing phase of some products for network management and netxms looks great

But I have a problem with a Cisco Catalyst 6506. The Interface list looks like:

"ID" "Name" "Class" "Status"
"364" "long haul fiber gigabit ethernet" "interface" "normal"
"1624" "short wave fiber gigabit ethernet" "interface" "normal"
"1633" 10/100 utp ethernet (cat 3/5)" "interface" "normal"
"1634" 10/100 utp ethernet (cat 3/5)" "interface" "normal"
"1635" 10/100 utp ethernet (cat 3/5)" "interface" "normal"
"1636" 10/100 utp ethernet (cat 3/5)" "interface" "normal"
"1637" 10/100 utp ethernet (cat 3/5)" "interface" "normal"
"1638" 10/100 utp ethernet (cat 3/5)" "interface" "normal"

So I can not find which interface has a problem - there is no relation to the real port names.

But the Mib-Browser shows the information needed under .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 (ifname). When I walk the C6506 i receive the correct interface names (for example 4/1; 5/2).

Is it possible to get a correct list of my interfaces installed?

Version 0.2.21

Thanks in advance,

Greetings Tom

Thank you for the quick reply.

surely its possible to set the interface to status "unmanaged". If this is the only way I will do so.

I was surprised because all the other management tools we tested, for example Network Node Manager, do not set the access-node to red if the interfaces went down. I'm wondering now how this is done, because the links in the core are displayed correctly when they go down.

I have to think about this

Hi,

I'm new to NetXMS and in the test phase for company.

I have the following problem:
My discover works great, I think everything is discovered as it should. But I have many networks that appear "red" in the map overview, because there are a lot of access-switches in that network with down interfaces.

How is it possible to turn off the status propagation of these interfaces (e.g. cisco catalyst 2950, Port 1-24 not relevant, Port 25 is Uplink)?
In my opinion the only state change of the network should be when the switch itself is not responding to the poll.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
