- Added "foreach" operator in NXSL
- New NXSL functions: GetDCIValueByName, GetDCIValueByDescription
- New attribute "comments" in NXSL classes "Node" and "NetObj"
- Dashboard configuration in console improved
- Database upgrade bug fixed
- Solaris support improved
- Many small improvements in management console

Hi!

You can create a condition object, add DCIs collecting current time from different servers, and write a script which will calculate deviation.

Hi!

Yes, it looks like 32bit applications cannot access counters provided by 64bit DLLs and vise versa: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891238. This problem also seems very similar: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB21534. You can test it by running 32-bit agent on machine with AOS and check available objects with nxget.

Hi!

It's hard to tell anything without additional tests. I have found the following MS KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957841 but I'm not sure that this is the case. If I understand this article correctly, there is a bug when you can see counters, but cannot add them for collection. You wrote that you can see counters in perfmon - but can they be really added and data can be collected?
Also, try to run from server's command line:

nxget -w 30 -l windows_server_ip PDH.Objects

you should get list of PDH objects, with Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server among them. Then, try to run

nxget -w 30 -l windows_server_ip "PDH.ObjectInstances(Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server)" 

You should see the instance. And then

nxget -w 30 -l windows_server_ip "PDH.ObjectCounters(Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server)"

Should show you list of counters.

Hi!

You can use this topic as reference: https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/calculated-dci/, just change expression in last example from sum to percentage calculation.

Hi!

In fact, if you change discovery settings from old console via Control Panel -> Network Discovery dialog, not directly by changing server's parameters, you don't need to restart the server - it will reconfigure and restart required internal processes automatically. I'll add similar discovery configurator to new console as well.

Hi!

It looks like it is system-wide parameter in Windows. At least Eclipse does not provide any API for controlling balloon timeout.

Hi!

It's fixed now.

I have added those options. Parity should be specified as N, E, or O. So fully specified string will be

Device = 0:"COM1:,9600,8,N,1":BCMXCP

Default speed is driver-dependent (i.e. 19200 for BCMXCP and 2400 for APC), default data bits is 8, default parity is N (none), and default stop bits is 1.

Hi!

I spent some time on it, but was unable to find any useful information. If I build agent version with excessive debug output, could you test it?

Hi!

I agree with that. Probably we should add some configuration option to use DNS name as primary name for discovered nodes.

Victor

Thank you for debugging this! I have added possibility to set serial port speed in UPS subagent. Starting from 1.1.5, you can write like this:

Device = 0:"COM1:,9600":BCMXCP

Hi!

Such difference is very strange. What operating system and agent version is on that machine? And you mean System.CPU.Usage parameter, not System.CPU.LoadAvg, right?
