Any feedback is appreciated!

I guess you are compiling from source.
In this case, just copy nxagentd startup script to init and add to auto start.

Do it like this:
cp /netxms_source_dir/contrib/startup/debian/nxagentd.in /etc/init.d/nxagentd
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/nxagentd
update-rc.d nxagentd defaults

Now you can run:
service nxagentd status

It will also be auto-started at boot-time.

The module was moved to GitHub, it can now be found at:
https://github.com/tomaskir/netxms-puppet

Also added a bunch of features:
apt::netxms_repo
- manage file ownership
- apt update after repo changed/added

netxms::server
- you can now specify ensure status
- manage config file ownership

netxms::agent
- you can now specify ensure status
- manage 'netxms-base' package
- allow specifying alternate class that adds netxms package sources to apt
- manage config file ownership

NetXMS is entirely free.

You can however purchase support or training, or if you need a feature integrated that is not in NetXMS yet, there are support packages for that as well.

Use templates for this.

A node can be in multiple containers and in multiple templates if needed.

Are you using SNMPv3?

Also, what build of NetXMS?

No table, you need to calculate:
How many nodes, how many OIDs per node, what type of OIDs (integer, string, etc...), what poll interval, what data retention period, will there be syslog...

After calculating all of that, you can estimate what kind of disk space your historical data will consume.

What is the difference between:

Topology > Switch forwarding database (MAC address table)
Tools > Info > Switch forwarding database (FDB)

Thanks!

Damn, Victor beat me to it

Yes, that is the right repo.

Simply do in console:
echo deb https://www.netxms.org/apt wheezy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netxms.list

Then
apt-get update && apt-get install netxms-agent

This is completely normal, nxagentd has some dependencies which it needs.

I suggest adding the netxms apt repo, and installing said packages from the apt repo.
Apt will take care of the dependency chain automatically for you.

Is the collation (charset) of the new DB schema the same as the old DB schema?

Use FindDCIByDescription.

The field you are searching for is the description, not the name.

I also have a few HP/H3C switches.
SNMP Object ID .1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.11.1.85

Also getting driver Generic.

Nothing reported in the .1.3.6.1.4.1.43 tree.

Just install Java JRE.

Dont forget to install for right environment (x86 or 64), depending on which console you use.
