NetXMS Support Forum

Hello together,
I compiled netxms-server on debian from source.
When starting netxmsd I got the following problem:
1.) Starting with parameter -c /etc/netxmsd.conf I'm always gettng an error "Error loading config file"
2.) Starting without this parameter worked.
Configfile is a link within /etc-directory. Thus same file is used when calling with or without -c option.
Other parameters like -d or -D are working.
Best regards

Hello together,

defining a gauge for a dashboard it is possible to set values for different colorzones. Within properties form they will be defined by hand.
Is there a possibility to configure a calculation of these values from the values of an other DCI?
At our environmental monitoring we have defined individual warninglimits for some sensors. These limits are read out with a DCI and it would be great coloring the actual values regarding the individual warninglimits.

Best regards

I did it within a Hook-script while configuration poll based on a prefix in the interface interface alias e.g. description.
For example ## at the beginning of the interfacedescription tells me to set expected state to "UP".
Second using this prefix within instance dicovery (instance discovery filter script) You can automatically generate DCIs for these interfaces.

Solution with editing the dci does not work for templates! After "save and apply" the dci within the template does not has the advice "This DCI was added by instance ...." but within the component the template dci is associated the advice appears. Editing this dci within the component will lead to the advice within the template once more.

After editing the dci (without changing it) only doing "apply and Save" the problem for the edited dci has disappeared.

Hello together,

I did a strange upgrade from version 2.0.5 with old mysql-database on openesuse to new mariadb 10.3 and netxms version 3.4.232 (with netxms dbupgrade and backgroundupgrade) on debian.

Using the GUI (via Tomcat and native gui on windows) first I was shoked, because from datacollection-configuration window I cannot display the linechart from a dci. Every time I'm trying this I will get "Cannot get value for DCI[0]:"<Name der DCI>" (Invalid object ID)".
But displaying last values from an object will work properly and within the "lastValues"-Window using linechart for a dci will display graph properly too. Same for normal DCi an table DCI. As I can see within lastvalues window datacollection is working regulary.
Editing a DCI from "Datacollection Window" I allways wil get the follwoing advice "This DCI was added by instance discovery Alllocal changes can be overwritten at any moment" but these DCIs are not edited with instance discovery!

Can anyone help me?

Best regards

Hello Victor,

thanks for Your fast response!

While preparing the download of the images for You I realized that there was a problem in display the copy of my file from my new server on windows too. I have seen, that there was a difference in bytecount  between the original file on my old netxmsserver and that on my new server.
I did the transfer via filezilla initiated from the new server one more time and got the same results (concerning bytecount differences). Filezilla was configured for automatic detection of transfertype (configured as standard). When configuring filezilla explecitly for binary transfertype the file is transfered correctly and has the original size.
This is a behavour I have never seen before with filezilla.

The images transfered in binary type via filezilla all work fine with the new implementation of Your image library tool now. For administration the responsetimes of the tool are really great now even for large images.

Sorry for posting the problem that was generated via an other tool!

Best regards

As a consequence to currupted display of the image. Object that are placed in a map will be misplaced to the backgroundimage.
Attached the same part of the building with Netxms 2.0.5 and Netxms 3.2

Hello Victor,

thanks a lot for Your work providing netxms to the community!

I like the principles of your new implementation of image library, but I have some problmes to use it. First I have to tell You three things:
1.) I'm using images that are imported with version 2.0.5 of netxms-software. These images are copied from old imagelibrary to new system.
2.) I'm using source-code which is compiled on debian 10.
3.) As GUI I'm using windows 10-Console.

My problems are:
1.) Display of some images is not possible?
2.) Display of some images is broken, incomplet ore disrupted
This happens within imagelibrary and on the maps that are using these images.

Are there any needs of other packages to be installed with the new implementation of images?

Best regards

Hello Victor,

OK.
Thanks for the information!

Thanks for your software too! It helps me a lot on monitoring our network and the services we provide at networklayer.

Hello together,

is it possible adding predefined graphs to a dashboard?

It would be great because you do not have to define same graph twice if you need the information to be displayed in a dashboard. On the other side you have different possibilties analyzing data with predefined graphs that you do not have with dashboards.

Hello together,

I have a problem getting connected mac-adresses for the ports of my Cisco switches. This occures on different models and software-releases.
CDP isn't activated at ports conected to enduser systems.
Same problems occure in my production environment with version 2.0.5 and my testenvironment with version 2.2.16.
As my production environment has old software implemented and I have to migrate the next weeks lets concentrate on version 2.2.16.
The switches are Cat 3850, 3650, 2960, 4500, 6500 and Nexus n5k.
Within NETxms I only see the MAC-Adresses of the peersystems when CDP is enabled on the interface. It seems that the Mac address table can not be read for the other systems.
Drivers for the systems are CISCO-GENERIC and CATLYST-Generic.
Is there a possibility detecting MAC-adresses for the endsystem ports without activating CDP on these ports at the switch so that they are searchable via tools?
Best regards
Georg

Thanks that works fine!

Hello together,
Currently using Version 2.0.5 in production I have a map with a DCI container in it. DCI-Container is filled with values from a portchannel traffic counters. The values are formatted with "%*dbit/s" and I get a clean value with "638Kbit/s" or "673Mbit/s".
Using same formatstring with version 2.2.11 I get an errormessage "<INVALID FORMAT> /%d)bit/s". Only formatting with "%dbit/s" works but that gives me the raw value like "622600bit/s".
Has something changed concerning outputformatting or is there an error with my format string.
It would be great to have same output in version 2.2.11 as in 2.0.5 because it is much easier to read.
Best regards

Hello Victor,
I tried Your suggestion and it worked fine for my Leap 15 installation with 2.2.6. Best thanks for that and Your suppport in the forum!

As I saw 2.2.7 is out I have buildt a new Virtual Maschin (thanks to VMWare!) and compiled 2.2.7 without any errors and the server works fine in an testenvironment. But I got an other problem with the webapp that is not running in the environment with tomcat9 and the provided java stack. Every time I'm trying to access the Webconsole I get Error 404 from the console with the message
"HTTP Status 404 – Not Found
Type Status Report
Message BridgeServlet: /nxmc
Description The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.
Apache Tomcat/9.0.5"
I have not had such problems the last years with the Webapp as of  this I think this depends on a problem with tomcat, but I'm not familar with it. Do You have some advise? Is Your app tomcat 9 ready?

Best regards
Georg
