NetXMS Support Forum

Hi!

Yes, report_generator.jar is report generation engine. But problem is that you have to create (design) report first, and we don't have any generic reports for NetXMS yet.

Best regards,
Victor

Yes, it will be solved. I already entered issue in our internal bug tracker.

Server uses switch forwarding database to find end node connection. Could you please execute Tools -> Info -> Switch forwarding database tool on your switch and check that node's MAC address is on the list?

Yes, this was packaging error. Uploading new packages now...

Sorry, I forgot about that I didn't add an issue immediately, and then it was forgotten. I have added issue now.

You have to create them. There are still no reports out of the box. I'll ask Alex to create some demo reports.

Hi!

You should be able to find switch ports for end nodes as well. Try to select some node connected directly to the switch and run "Find switch port". It should display correct switch port. If it will not, this situation requires further investigation, because it is supposed to find correct port.

Hi!

Yes, thsi is a bug. I'll add it to roadmap for next release.

Hi!

To run subagent under different user account, you have to do the following (I will use WMI subagent as an example):

1. Add ExternalSubagent option to nxagentd.conf:

ExternalSubagent = name:user

in my case it would be

ExternalSubagent = WMI:*

First part defines connection point name, and second part defines allowed user account. You can use asterisk or omit second part at all to allow access from any user account.

2. Run agent
3. Create second configuration file for external subagent (For this example I will take C:\NetXMS\etc\wmi.conf):

ExternalMasterAgent = WMI
SubAgent = wmi.nsm

First option switches agent to external subagent mode. You should specify connection point name defined in first step as a value of ExternalMasterAgent. Otherwise it's a normal agent's config - you can load subagents with SubAgent options, define sections for subagent configuration as necessary, etc.

4. Run external subagent under different account:

nxagentd.exe -c C:\NetXMS\etc\wmi.conf

Now you should have two nxagentd processes running, with WMI parameters available via master agent.

You can also create another Windows service:

nxagentd.exe -I -c C:\NetXMS\etc\wmi.conf -n nxagentd_wmi -N "NetXMS Agent - WMI"

Hope this helps!

Hi!

You have to install development packages in order to compile NetXMS from sources. I don't know exact package names for CentOS. You will need gcc and g++ (they may come in one package or in separate packages).

Victor

Hi!

It is precompiled binaries for AIX. I got them by running

./configure --prefix=/opt/netxms --with-server --with-sqlite
make
make install

for sources in netxms-1.1.7.tar.gz. It is common source package for all platforms, you don't need separate sources for each platform. I have found some bugs in AIX build, they are fixed in upcoming 1.1.8 release. Binaries I have provided are patched already.

Best regards,
Victor
