NetXMS Support Forum

For me the question is, what triggers the SYS_NODE_DOWN event. The default DCI 'status' has no threshold configured.

I see exactly the same issue with my custom schedule '* 8-24 * * *'

No one has a good idea? I think most of todays servers have there management board.
Would a 'cluster' be a possible solution? A cluster with the server as one node and the managment board (HP iLO) as a second node.

Hi

I didn't know that (is it somewhere documented?) but compiled with libcurl-devel and activation of netsvc subagent in agent config I can see the new DCI. Now I have to explore the functionality of this subagent. thanks

Dani

Should netsvc be an external modul like the other subagents? We compiled on linux from sources, but there is no such subagent too

Ok I short list what I get at the moment from such a switch (Cisco SG300):
'Show VLANs':   ok
'Layer2 Topology':   empty (only Switch itself)
Tools - Info - Topology Table (CDP):   empty
Tools - Info - Topology Table (LLDP):   empty

   Link layer topology processed

Can I send you the output of snmpwalk by mail?

would it be possible to develop a driver for cisco SMB (Small Business series 200, 300. 500) switches. I have customers using cisco smb switches. They are managable support LLDP, CDP, SNMP, STP.
Which information you would need for that?

We would like to monitor physical Windows servers with management boards (we use HP servers, there it's called iLO, they have a dedicated network port). The ilo network interface should be a second interface to the server node in netxms (we don't want 2 nodes, 1 for the server and a second for the iLO). That's manually possible. But then I have the problem that the server has a native windows netxms agent and snmp agent installed. The iLo has SNMP for themself (there it would be possible to passthrue the SNMP to the server OS. But now I can't configure the netxms server to poll the netxms-agent on the server network interface and SNMP on the iLO interface (for some hardware monitoring for example).

What would be the best configuration solution for such situations in netxms? The same situation exists in 'network services', where you also can't configure a specific node interface for a network interface.

Every input and suggestions are very appreciated

Update to Version 1.2.11 fixed the problem for me.

thanks Victor

Hi Victor

Thanks for your tests. Now I have redone the recompile. I deleted the /opt/netxms completely and recompiled with:
configure --enable-unicode --with-server --with-agent --with-pgsql --prefix=/opt/netxms
than I created an action 'Testaäoöuü' (without quotes of course). In the java console I only saw 'Testa'. Than I added 'aäoöuü' to an existing string of another action, there I couldn't see anything behind 'a'. Than I opened the database in pgAdmin and saw in the table 'actions' absolutely the same text as in the console. See attached printscrenn. Very strange.
I can send you the outputs of configure, make and make install if that could help (per mail?)
Another test was the following:
In the not with unicode option compiled version of netxms: I can enter umlauts in node custom fields (and they are stored accurate) but not in actions or maps for example.

Hi Victor

The database is UTF-8:

netxms_db=# \l
                                  List of databases
   Name    |  Owner   | Encoding |   Collate   |    Ctype    |   Access privileges
-----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------
netxms_db | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =Tc/postgres         +

hmmm...

Hi Victor

Thanks. I just made a snapshot of the NetXMS-server, stopped the server and the agent and recompiled with UNICODE-support:
./configure --with-server --with-agent --with-pgsql --enable-unicode --prefix=/opt/netxms

But no luck. I made a few Tests (from Java Management Console on Win7-64bit, Version 1.2.10 like the server):
- set äöü in the message text of a Mail-Action, after 'OK' there was only a special charakter '' in the field (in the recieved mail too)
- in a custom map, I created a group box with the name 'Aäöü', only 'A' is shown in the map afterwards
- add a custom attribute to an existing node, Name='Test', Value='äöü' -> the value shows 'äöü' -> here it's ok

the result is inconsistent, some is ok, some not

Dani

We just installed netxms (compiled from sources) on OpenSUSE13.1 (virtualized on Hyper-V 2012 R2). Database is PostgreSQL. Now after some configuration, we can't use any german umlauts (äöü) in netxms. I saw now a configure option '--enable-unicode'. Is it possible to recompile with this option and reuse the same database (on PostgreSQL). What should we consider? Thanks!
