NetXMS Support Forum

Implemented in upcoming 5.2. Both are configurable via server configuration parameters RADIUS.NASIdentifier and RADIUS.ServiceType.

Hi!

From stack trace it looks like netxmsd run out of memory. Can you please show chart of memory consumption by netxmsd?

Best regards,

Hello!

Is it possible to show (or post to me via PM) exact output of "failed record" message?

Hello everyone,
We're participating in a tender, and are calling for testimonials from companies, which use NetXMS for monitoring data centre's infrastructure. Does anyone of you use NetXMS for monitoring a data centre and would be able to sign such recommendation letter? Please, reach out to me, I can also send you a draft/ example of such letter, if needed. 
Thank you all in advance for your support.

Because we have both MySQL client and MariaDB client on common include path (MySQL going first) during Windows build, we cannot use
#include <mysql.h>
in MariaDB driver as it will pick up header file from MySQL client. So we creat simple header file called mariadb.h and place it besides mysql.h from MariaDB client:
#include "mysql.h"
#include "errmsg.h"

Best regards,
Victor

Agent reads registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall to get list of installed products.
I tested WMI query on Win32_Product on my Windows servers, and it seems to work, but is very slow (usually more than 10 seconds). Normally agent command timeout is less than that, so data collection end up in error.
Could you use System.InstalledProducts table instead?

Best regards,
Victor

Quote from: hmjvaline on November 06, 2024, 03:03:35 PMI am shock netxms 5.1 is limited to 250 nodes  
It reduced my enthusiasm for NetXMS and even gave up on it because it is no longer so open and free. Although I have never needed the company's institutionalized services, I feel discouraged by this new restriction.

You know, even open source developers need money for living. And purchasing support contract for using open source product pre-built for Windows platform is not a big ask in my opinion. 250+ devices is not a small deployment, so likely organization is not that small either, and do not hesitate paying license fee for Windows servers.

Just to make sure we understand setup correctly: you are using desktop client on Windows workstation, connecting to remote server that is also on Windows and using MS SQL database?
