NetXMS Support Forum

Hi!

It looks like new database does not contain NetXMS tables. Other possible problem could be that tables in new database has schema name different from NetXMS database user's schema (maybe I'm using wrong terminology here, I'm not a MS SQL expert - I mean that full table names could be dbo.config for example in new database, but server uses only short names, like config, so it can search for netxms.config instead of dbo.config).

Best regards,
Victor

Pohoze eto takaja-ze problema: https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/nxdbmgr-exe-upgrade-x/msg6645/#msg6645. Poprobujte variant 1 - rukami sozdat' tablicu i potom upgrade s kljuchom -X.

A kakaja baza ispol'zuetsja?

Hi!

System.CPU.Usage.IoWait measures how much time CPU spent waiting for I/O completion (or, more precisely, it's a percentage of time that the CPU was idle during which the system had an outstanding disk I/O request), while System.IO.DiskTime measures time disk system was busy processing requests. Not all systems can provide both parameters, and if some do, they can be very different. One example is that if you have two processes - one is I/O intensive and one is CPU intensive, your iowait % will be low, because CPU will not idling, but execute CPU intensive process while I/O intensive process waits for I/O completion.

Value in thresholds can be only constant. You should create DCI which will use correct values and then use constants in thresholds. You can use transformation script to convert absolute value into percentage, like this:

$1 * 100 / GetDCIValueByDescription($node, "MaxAssociations")

P.S. It is planned to add scripting support to thresholds, but this functionality most likely will be available in version 1.2.3 only.

Hi!

I have added Dell PowerConnect driver. I think taht I'll be able to add other one as well.

Configuration is correct. Changes made in this screen will be activated only when you save them. You will be prompted to save if you close this screen or you can save it by selecting "Save" from view's menu. Unsaved changes indicated by asterisk in tab name.

Hi!

Looks like a bug in firmware. I've seen somewhat similar problem with some HP ProCurve switches - after lot of SNMP requests they stop responding to SNMP for a few minutes. What you can do is to disable all poll types except status poll for that switch (in properties on "Polling" page). If this will not help, then you have no other option as to disable status poll as well (or you can disable SNMP and just use ping to see if device is still online). Unfortunately there are no option to set polling interval individually for device (but looks like it has to be implemented).

Hi!

It works exactly as you suppose - system tries all listed community strings. However, SNMP configuration for already added devices is checked only during configuration polls (once per hour by default), and new discovery cycle can take even more time, so newly added community strings may not be used immediately.

Filter should apply to both active and passive discovery. Can you please send me a screenshot of your discovery configuration?

Hi!

I'll take a look at this bug. However, moving database with MS SQL export/import should work. What exact error you got when you try to connect database on new server?

Best regards,

Hi!

It's definitely a bug in the server which leaves some nodes unattached to neither subnet nor container object. I have one fix possibly related to this in 1.2.2 - may be it helps. If not, I'll have a chance to connect IBM blade to NetXMS in a couple of weeks, then I'll be able to do necessary tests.

Best regards,
Victor

1. While most discovered devices are ending up under the correct subnets under the "Entire Network" section, we have a number that were just dumped into the root of the tree.  What causes this and how do we get them into the Entire Network tree.

Yes, it's known problem. It should be fixed in release 1.2.2.

2. Can you explain how address filters work?  We are hoping to filter out the addresses out of the network we have links to and/or routes but it seems to add them either way.

Address filters are inclusive, not exclusive - you can specify what address ranges/subnets to include. Also you should enable filtering in general by setting filter to "Automatically generated..." and check "Accept nodes within given range". If you want to exclude some addresses from discovery, you have to create custom filtering script.

3.  What is the best way suggested to apply templates and classify newly discovered nodes in the Infrastructure Services tree? 

You can place objects in Infrastructure Services tree in whatever order you want. It's hard to suggest anything, it usually depends on your organization structure, preferences, etc. You can setup rules for automatically placing nodes into containers - see "Automatic Bind Rules" tab in container's properties.

4.  Some discovered sections end up with a components section which can have a lot of additional information.  Is there a list somewhere of types of devices it "knows" about?  Can we add additional detection easily?

"Components" tab shown for any SNMP device which supports ENTITY MIB.

5.  Is there any updated documentation?  Seems to not be in sync with product we are using (1.2.1) and even what I have found seems to not list all of the functions available, discuss what subagents are, ...  Seems there may be a lot of hidden power waiting to be unleashed

We are now in progress to move existing documentation into wiki and completing it. I suggest to look into wiki: http://wiki.netxms.org.

Hi!

I'll consult with the person who knows more about Oracle then I do

Btw, is it possible to reference your organization on our users page (https://www.netxms.org/users/)?

Best regards,
Victor

В 1.2.2 получится думаю. Главное - не забыть

P.S. Изменения делаются в агенте.
