NetXMS Support Forum

Thanks for the new release.

When I install the Windows(x86) agent on Windows XP (old I know) I get the error that 'libnxsnmp.dll' is not found. The message appears 3times.

thanks a lot Victor

any news on that?

would that be usefull for others too?

Hi

If a node has more than one interface. You should be able to choose the interface for each DCI. Maybe if nothing is choosen, NetXMS uses the interface of the Primary IP address. At the moment we need to create a second node for that and use proxy node. But that's not very elegant.

That could be used for baseboard management interfaces and also for nodes with interfaces in different vLANs.

Or how far are the plans for the object class "Management Board", as Alex said in this post?:

Hi Victor

Thanks for the detailed explanation. So I can use {instance} in the performance tab title for the moment to get the instance name. But for me the current situation is inconsistent. But the question is, what to do for the future. Is it a good descicion to use {instance-name} for the DCI instance field? For me this is a little bit inconsistent. But then the problem would be how you get the {instance-name} in the performance tab. And if you would introduce a DCI-field 'instance-name'?

I got another problem in this context with attaching a performance tab to another one in templates with instance discovery:

DCI1 in Template: Description: "Network Interface {instance-name} in"
DCI2 in Template: Description: "Network Interface {instance-name} out"

Then I attached the performance tab of DCI2 to to one of DCI1 in the template. But on the target node I only see the performance graph of DCI1. Is the {instance-name} in the template DCI description maybe the problem?

in 'Performance Tab' 'Title' I can't use the macro {instance-name}. Is it not implemented, a bug or my error in reasoning?

Thanks Victor!

to 3.:
Works! Please at least fill in the description in the ServerConfigurationVariable documentation the wiki.

We want to give some supporters rights limited to there sites in NetXMS. So we assign rights only to the 'site'-container in 'Infrastructure Services'. There I see these problems:

• The System Right 'View event log' also includes Syslog. Please add this to the admin guide.
• You cannot block access to Event-Monitor, Syslog-Monitor and SNMP Trap Monitor (the System Rights are only for the corresponding Logs in Menu 'View')
• In Alarm-, Event-, SNMP Trap-Log and Syslog the limited supporter can see all events, syslog-entries... of all nodes, not only the ones from the containers he has permission for. NetXMS should filter the log entries and only show entries of sources he has permission for. In the fiield 'source' he only sees the node-id for such entries but he sees all other fields like 'Host Name' and 'Message'. We cannot allow this.
• Would it be possible and reasonable to remove all menu items a user don't have permisison for? To get everytime this error message is not very user friendly: 'Open log ,,syslog" has encountered a problem. Cannot open server log ,,syslog": Access denied

Will this be a big change?

exactly the transformation script should be:

return ($1 * 8);

As long as I know the counters are in octets (=bytes) so the value is Bytes/sec. If you want to have the value in bits/sec you have to calculate *8. I don't want to be niggling, only for explanation.

Thanks Tatjana. I will test it.

There are only 2 interfaces, the 'eth0' with a MAC-address and the loopback 'lo' with 00:00:00:00:00:00.

Thanks Victor. I can confirm it's working like this. So I only need one AgentConfig for all kind of Windows agents! (language, 32bit, 64bit)

On Status Maps are only nodes. It would be great to have clusters on this map too. For us Status Maps are a good feature for fast overview.
