NetXMS Support Forum

Is it possible to graph the ICMP packet loss and Response times shown in Object Details -> Overview      I have tried adding the internal ICMP ping to{instance}:packet loss  and last response time to my Data Collection Configuration but they both just error out.



Thanks

current version is 4.1.377   We have a layer2 redundant loop in our network and needed to break the loop by shutting down one of the switch interfaces temporarily. However netxms never updates the topology to reflect the broken loop even after two days its still shows the link connected between the two switches when interface details on both switches shows the interface as down.  I would expect the link to be removed after a topology poll was completed showing the loop broken in the middle where the interfaces are down. Is this normal or do I have to do something to force an update.


Thanks

Does netxms now support netflow ?   looking at the build options for  4.1.377 i see   --with-flow-collector  is this just experimental ?


Thanks

Trying to build from source fails with the following

OS: Debian Buster
here is my config     ./configure --with-server --with-client --with-snmp --with-pgsql --with-agent --with-client-proxy --with-vmgr

Can you connect to the instance remotely via SQL Management Studio.  I believe you have to allow  remote access and make sure its able to listen on the default 1433 port   

Sounds good.. Thank you

I'm wondering if the back up process differs when using the Timescale extension ?  will nxdbmgr export capture the database + data or is there a better method.


Thanks

Desktop client with no fancy high dpi monitor. The weird thing is the geomap is spost on its only the Network maps that are off when trying to use the coorrdinates as a background

When trying to set the map background using Geographic Map the coordinates are way off.  I have even taken the coordinates listed in the World map and tried to use those but they are still  of compared to the world map.  The world map does match exactly what google maps shows so I know that is working.  Does the map background use a different coordinate system ?


Thanks

So is this just a bug then ?

I did try a simpler command which did not have the brackets and it did not work either.. Good Idea though

I have some mikrotik wireless devices that I need to monitor signal strength and SNR  and because of the odd way the Mikrotik MIBS are formatted and having to know the connected clients mac in order to retrieve that info from the registration table via snmp i decided to do it over ssh but it always fails on the Mikrotik device.  I have tested the commands from the server using the native ssh client and everything works.  I have also setup a laptop and simple dci with uname -a command and that is successful it just does not like the Miktotik response for some reason.  Below are the responses any suggestions are much appreciated.

Successful Laptop Response:

I would really be nice if when doing a right click layer2 topology map we could easily identify the nodes of interest.  Maybe allow a node option similar to manage and unmanage where you can flag or unflag a node on any map. It could possibly add a  background color or maybe simply blink the current status color.  I know I can reduce the number of objects shown in the topology but  90% of the time it is not enough to get a good picture of the topology when trouble shooting a ring of switches and i have to increase the radius. I have also noticed even though the radius is set to 5  depending on the switch I select It will still return 30 or more devices.
 

Thanks

Question about action configuration.  Im running netxms on a debian server and i was playing around with (Execute command on managment server)  I noticed that all commands run using this option are run as root.  I tested with a simple "touch /opt/testfile.txt"   How does netxms run these commands under root if there is no credentials given for the root user


Thanks

I think it would be helpful to have a script generator that would allow a visual gui in building custom scripts that could be used with netxms or maybe provide a repository for people to post there custom scripts that maybe helpful for others.
