NetXMS Support Forum

Hi Dani,

Thanx that helps :-)
I have deactivated configuration polls due to some network interfaces which I don't like to see (isatap, Teredo...).

Hi everybody,

I still made a centralized agent upgrade to 2.0-M5 on my nodes as explained here: https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/centralized-agent-upgrade-feature/msg1827/#msg1827 - thankx to xenth!

Works great! The only thing I noticed and what confused me a little. At "Object Details - Overview" the version shown is still the old one (2.0-M4). But on the Windows node at "Control Panel - Programs and Features" I saw that the newer version is installed, so everything is fine.

Hi everybody,

It seems I'm the only one with this problem. Until now I don't see any disadvantage without these DCIs. In the historical data I get in version 2.0-M4 - not all but - most of the time 0.0 with both DCIs. I think they were configured automatically while server installation.

I tried to downgrade to 2.0-M4 but this is not working because of wrong database format. Yes my fault, next time I have a current backup ;-)

It's a little unclear for me, what these DCIs are needed for. Will I run into serious problems if they are not working?

Hi everybody,

I still upgraded the server to 2.0M5. After that the DCIs Server.AverageStatusPollerQueueSize / Server.AverageConfigurationPollerQueueSize changed to unsupported. Any ideas?

I use Windows 7 64bit and MSSQL.

Hi everybody,

I'm sorry, I made the ServiceCheck.Custom on the wrong node (NetXMS server instead of SMTP server), thereby the proxy node was wrong resp. the same machine. Now I moved the ServiceCheck.Custom to the SMTP server and put in the NetXMS server as proxy node, looks good. But I'm already unsure if my parameter line is correct and why it's not working with ServiceCheck.SMTP?

Therefore a sample parameter line would be very helpful for me ;-)

Hi everybody,

I try to check the SMTP ports via ServiceCheck.SMTP as explained here https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/web-site-monitoring/15/

It seems that I get it to work with first option (network service on node). But only with Service type "User-defined", with Service type "SMTP" I'm not successful.

However I prefer to do it with second option (DCI ServiceCheck.SMTP or maybe ServiceCheck.Custom). After some variations it seems to work with the following parameter line of ServiceCheck.Custom:

   ServiceCheck.Custom(ip-address,25000,"^SMTP 200.*",servername.domain.local)

To check if the SMTP service is available not only local, I try to use the NetXMS Server as proxy node. But then the check changed to unsupported. If I use above parameter line with ServiceCheck.SMTP I get back "2 - cannot connect to server". So I'm not sure if my parameter line is correct.

Could someone please write a sample line of the parameter field with ServiceCheck.SMTP (or ServiceCheck.Custom)?

Bye and thanks

OK I did it myself  ;-)

Connect to database instance via sqlcmd and user sa

sqlcmd -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS -U sa

And put in the following commands:

1> create database netxms_db
2> go
1> use netxms_db
2> go
1> create login netxms with password = 'YourFavoritePassword'
2> go
1> create user netxms for login netxms;
2> go
1> grant alter to netxms;
2> go
1> grant control to netxms;
2> go

After that you are able to choose above existing database while installation (use "initialize database"!) and the Configuration Wizard works without problems (in my case).

The question is, why Netxms offer the option to create a new database inside MS SQL while installation although this is not working?!

Would save a lot of time if this would be mentioned in a How To or in the documentation of the installation.

Hi Everybody,

I'm new in this Forum and would like to take a look at NetXMS.

Unfortunately I'm not able to get it to work under Windows 7 with MS SQL Express 2008 R2 SP2 (both 64-bit on the same pc). I would like to create a new database within the installation process and get the message:

"Unable to connect to database: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Fehler bei der Anmeldung für den Benutzer 'sa'."

I'm able to connect to the SQL instance with sqlcmd via user 'sa'. Named pipes and TCP/IP are enabled as recommended by Victor. I have tried it with Netxms v. 1.2.17-x64 and 2.0-M4-x64, with the same problem.

Did anyone here run Netxms with MS SQL Server under Windows and was able to install it with the standard installation process of Netxms?

Bye
