NetXMS Support Forum

I did that already but no change. (configuration, status poll...

Hi,

I still have problems with hostnames/ DNS resolving.

for me the reverse DNS is ok in the network

Ping Myhost1 i get reply from the host.
when in do
ping -a x.x.x.x I get the hostname back in the ping.

Now on a site we have changed the iprange.
we connect to the hosts in the network with a netxms proxy.

When we do a ping to a client by name on the proyx we will get the new ip of the host.
But it isn't possible to connect to the other hosts.
If I have a look in the object properties of a client:
Primary host name : MyHost1
Primary IP Address: 192.168.0.54 (the old range)

The only way to reconnect with the host is to change the Primary Host Name with the new IP then I see direct that the primary IP address als change to 192.168.6.111
And the connection is back.

UseDNSNameForDiscoveredNodes = 1

Hi,

I juist tested the new release.... 

NetXms server don't want to start. When I check the database all looks OK.
But when I start netxms with: sudo netxmsd -e -D9

We stops with the error

[21-Mar-2014 10:50:37.506] [DEBUG] Finished status poll for node xx.xx.xx.xx (ID: 1193)

[21-Mar-2014 10:50:37.506] [DEBUG] StatusPoll(LSNA001): cannot create SNMP transport

I removed the node in the nodes tables and also some strange nodes with the same name.
I never seen them in the previous release.

but we are up and running now

Yes but you have to do it manually for all the hosts you are monitoring?
Maybe it is easier to put it in a policy or template?

Then you can set a Automatic apply rules like on templates. If the OS is windows then disable the snmp polling.

it is just an idea....

Hi,

I have 2 test servers running netxms to monitor windows pc's.
The windowd pc's are configured to get an IP from a Dhcp server.

When the host (with netxms client installed) is discovered the primary hostname is always set to the IP address and not the DNS name.

my netxms server connects to a client over wan. The client is configured as proxy server for the other clients in te network.

Is there someone using the option? UseDNSNameForDiscoveredNodes = 1 and did that work?

Regards

Denis

Hi,

We are monitoring windows clients with netxms. Default they don't have snmp turned on.
So if the hosts are discovered Netxms polls also for snmp agent.
Is there a way to disable that?
Or can it be a new feature for a next release?

Regards

Denis

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Config poller last min max:210.58 avg:148.25
status poller last min max:70 avg 14.55

DB writer's request queue (other queries) last min max:0

DB writer's request queue for last min max:0
Data Collection poller's request queue for last min max:0

I did some more debugging

When I start the netxms manualy with netxmsd -D 3 -c /etc/netxmsd.conf

Do some changes. Create new template... add some Data collection parameters.

then I press down in the console.
(sometimes its takes a while until I get the command prompt back)

It looks the data is stored when I restart everything.

When I use the /etc/init.d/netxmsd start and /etc/init.d/netxmsd stop nothing is saved.

Is it true that data only will be saved when you stop the netxmsd service?

Hi,

I'm running 1.2.10 for some time.. and have found that my changes are not saved.
When I create for example a new template the template is not saved after reboot. Also when I create a new parameter on a template or direct on node.
Also when I crate a new dashboard.

I don't know how long it is. But I just upgraded to version 1.2.11 and it is still the same.
How can I debug or find what is going wrong.

What do you mean with:

Where can I find the core file?

Hi,

Running a couple of days on 1.2.10

"Default shared secret for agents can be configured" (thanks for that works great)

But I have the same problem that the core service is crashing. running on linux Ubuntu 12.4
I turned network discovery off now. I will se if it is ok.

Regards
Denis

Hi,

Is there a way to configure the sharedsecret on the server. So the server uses always the sharedsecret to connect to agents.

I installed the Agent on all my computers with SharedSecret & RequireAuthentication = yes.

But when I want to manage the client I need to set up the sharedsecret Node by node.


Any advise for that?
