i want to install 2 servers that one will act as a full server and the other just for connecting and viewing alarms.
how do i do that ?
do i have to have 2 databases ?

Yes, you have to have two separate databases.

does both servers have to collect data in order to for me to see status and dci values ?

Yes, if you need to see DCI values on both servers. However, if you only need to see alarms on second server, you can use event forwarding mechanism to forward events from primary server to secondary.

how do i sync the nodes and containers between the servers ?

Unfortunately there are no object synchronization mechanism yet.

do i have to define the same user on both servers rather then having just one ?

Yes, you have to maintain two user databases. You can simplify password management by using external RADIUS server for password checking, but you still need to create user accounts twice.

Hi!

No. It saves windows configuration, perspectives, etc. on local workstation. It's probably possible to store Eclipse workspace on the server, but I didn't dig so deep into it yet.

Hi!

Agent policies deploy additional configuration files into config include directory. Location of that directory determined by parameter ConfigIncludeDir in nxagentd.conf. Default value for this parameter on Windows is "C:\nxagentd.conf.d". I just checked it, and it looks like agent installer does not add correct ConfigIncludeDir to nxagentd.conf and does not create appropriate directory. Currently you should do it manually on all systems where you wish to deploy configs via policies. I'll fix it till next release.

Hi!

So you wish to get something like "4.05 GB" instead of "4348654387"? Then your transformation script should looks like following:


($1 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024) . " GB"


And don't forget to change DCI type to "string"!

Hi!

It's not implemented yet. Added to feature requests.

See explanation here: https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/vlan-list/. In short, you cannot do much - only wait for appropriate driver to be developed. What devices do you have?

Best regards,

Hi!

For most devices, getting VLAN list requires reading of proprietary MIBs. In NetXMS 1.1.x, we introduce concept of network device drivers - server modules which handle vendor-specific things for network devices. Currently we only have drivers for Avaya (former Nortel) Ethernet switches and some Cisco switches and routers. You can check what driver is selected for a device by looking at "Driver" line on overview page. If "GENERIC" driver is selected for device, that means that there are no vendor-specific support for it.

It's still not implemented in Java console. Currently, the following important functionality are missing in Java console:

1. Logs (there are some work done on event and audit logs, but not complete);
2. Cluster configuration;
3. Network discovery configuration (but you still can configure it by changing server configuration variables directly);
4. "command" type object tools not working very well
5. Configuration export

But these gaps should be closed soon.

Best regards,
Victor

Hopefully near end of year. I still have major changes pending which I wish to implement until next stable branch.

Hi!

Version 1.1.4 will have integration with Jasper reports. Most likely in 1.1.4 there will be only integration mechanisms, and actual reports will come later.

Hi!

The only purpose of MIB compiler is to provide information for MIB browser. Presence or absence of a MIB does not affect data collection or trap processing. You only need MIB files (and need to compile them) if you wish to select SNMP objects from the tree in MIB browser. You can just enter OIDs in numerical format by hand (or take them from external MIB browser) - in that case MIBs in NetXMS are not needed.

Hi!

Script for this cold looks like following:


if ($1 == 1)
   return "yes";
if ($1 == 2)
   return "no";
return "neither_yes_or_no";


or, using switch operator:


switch($1)
{
   case 1:
      return "yes";
   case 2:
      return "no";
   default:
      return "neither_yes_or_no";
}

Java console is quite big in size, so I was not sure that it need to be included into server installer.
Standard Windows console will be fully replaced by Java console in the nearest future - the old console are still there only because some functions are still not implemented in Java version. As soon as they all be implemented, old console will be removed.

Depends on how do you monitor service status. If it is done via set of DCIs, then you can create additional DCI and in transformation script, read values of all service checking DCIs, count number of services in "down" state, and return that value. Then you will be able to set threshold on this DCI as usual.
