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!

Victor

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).

Best regards,
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

any hopes of implementing support for jabber (XMPP) messaging for alerts

I have thinking about it, but do not evaluate yet how it can be done. It is in my "long" to-do list, without specific target release.

Events ans Status Properties (Status Calculation in legacy console) for nodes and containers will be available in next java console release?

Yes.

Best regards,
Victor

Network map format has been changed in 1.1.x branch and no longer supported in legacy Windows console. You should use Java console (nxmc) for work with 1.1.x server.

Hi!

This caused by a known bug/limitation in MySQL. Until we create a workaround, you can upgrade database manually. If you have a backup of version 218, then you can:

1. Manually execute query


CREATE TABLE images (guid varchar(36) not null,   mimetype varchar(64) not null, name varchar(255) not null, category varchar(255) not null,   protected integer default 0,      PRIMARY KEY(guid));


2. Run nxdbmgr upgrade -X

To fix already upgraded database, manually execute the following queries:


CREATE TABLE images (guid varchar(36) not null,   mimetype varchar(64) not null, name varchar(255) not null, category varchar(255) not null,   protected integer default 0,      PRIMARY KEY(guid));

INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('092e4b35-4e7c-42df-b9b7-d5805bfac64e', 'Service', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('1ddb76a3-a05f-4a42-acda-22021768feaf', 'ATM', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('7cd999e9-fbe0-45c3-a695-f84523b3a50c', 'Unknown', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('904e7291-ee3f-41b7-8132-2bd29288ecc8', 'Node', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('b314cf44-b2aa-478e-b23a-73bc5bb9a624', 'HSM', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('ba6ab507-f62d-4b8f-824c-ca9d46f22375', 'Server', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('bacde727-b183-4e6c-8dca-ab024c88b999', 'Router', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES
  ('f5214d16-1ab1-4577-bb21-063cfd45d7af', 'Printer', 'Network Objects', 'image/png', 1);
INSERT INTO images (guid, name, category, mimetype, protected) VALUES

Hi!

I put compiled binaries of NetXMS server with SQLite database driver here: https://www.netxms.org/download/dev/netxms-1.1.7-aix.tar.gz. It is intended to be unpacked into /opt directory. It may require additional libraries, please let me know if you got errors when try to run it.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi!

Sorry, I don't fully understand the question. Do you mean that you need to get some information from some Java agent via SNMP?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi!

Yes, the main problem with advanced schedule is that you cannot specify year in schedule. Otherwise within a year you can create very flexible schedules - don't forget that you can specify more than one schedule for DCI. For example, monitoring from 15.01 9:00 till 10.03 14:59 can be defined as follows:

* 9-23 15 1 *
* * 16-31 1 *
* * * 2 *
* * 1-9 3 *
* 0-14 10 3 *

1 - covers period 15.01 9:00 - 23:59
2 - covers period 16.01 00:00 - 31.01 23:59
3 - covers entire February
4 - covers period 01.03 00:00 - 09.03 23:59
5 - covers period 10.03 00:00 - 10.03 14:59

And I don't think that using transformation script here is a misuse - it is what they was intended for.

Victor

You can get them from subversion repository: https://svn.netxms.org/public/netxms/trunk/src/java. Release of 1.1.8 was planned to the end of December, but we are a bit late on schedule. I hope that it will be ready for release this week.

Victor
