Hi,

this is caused by introduction of boolean type in NXSL. If you change

if ($node->isRouter == 1)

to

if ($node->isRouter)

it will work correctly. As those attributes are boolean by nature and all our examples use only second form we didn't expect that they are used with == operator (and == 1 was unreliable anyway because it could have happen to be any non-zero number).

Try to turn debug to level 6 (be aware that it will generate lot of output if you setup is big), and after node disappear again filter all messages containing name or ID of that node and post them.

Hi,

could you please provide enable debug level 6 for tag client.* on server, and provide server log after next disconnect along with client application log?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,

does it disappear after server restart or while server is running? If former then it could be that because of SQL errors node is not saved to DB at all. If latter then it could be due to deduplication if it is turned on (you can check it in server configuration - parameter NetworkDiscovery.MergeDuplicateNodes).

Hi,

discovery via agent behind tunnel should work if you are using zones, and node with agent is set as proxy for remote zone.

Hello all!

We just published patch release 3.7.116 for version 3.7. Changes since previous release:

- New methods "appendAll" and "insertAll" in NXSL arrays
- DCI transformation test can be run from template data collection configuration
- Fixed bug in remote agent configuration update
- Fixed bug in object selection dialog in UI
- Fixed server hang on shutdown if initiated from remote GUI session
- Fixed issues NX-1875 (Error message is not cleared in list of notification channels)

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,

I see that database writer queue is quite high (5721598 in log file you've sent). Try to monitor it for some time (you can use internal DCIs on server node or debug console command "show queues"). If it is constantly growing it may indicate database performance issue and can cause excessive memory consumption (because more and more data kept in memory).

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,

definitely looks like memory leak. What was previous version that didn't have this issue? What are you monitoring, are you using scripts, proxies?
If possible please run diagnostic collection script nx-collect-server-diag.cmd and provide created zip file.

Best regards,
Victor

I currently have the parser and actions setup to monitor the logs for a specific string, and if it finds it, it emails me the line from the log containing the string. If the string occurs twice in immediate succession, it will send me two separate emails. Is there a good way to group event notification emails when the event occurs multiple times in quick succession?

You can do that with scripts in event processing policy. When event is processed, update some key in persistent storage with current timestamp, and add additional script filter which will compare that key to current timestamp, and only allow further event processing if previous event is far enough in the past. See screenshot for example (it will send notification for SNMP_EGP_NEIGHBOUR_LOSS only if it comes more than 10 minutes after previous alert).

How would I set up the parser to trigger an event if the log hasn't been written to after a set amount of time? Is this possible?

Using parser it can be done only in very complex way - you can match each line and generate event, setting timestamp from taht event, and have scheduled task or DCI to check how old that timestamp is.
Alternatively you can use DCI to read file log file modification time and check how old it is (assuming that modification time updated after write which may not always be the case if application keeps log file open).

This happens when you have Java 8. Try to upgrade to Java 11.

FYI, the server console from the Tools menu seems to have disappeared in 3.7.95.  I'm using nxcmd instead.

Make sure you are using Java 11 - it seems that this plugin is incompatible with Java 8.

Hello all!

NetXMS 3.7 is released (build 3.7.95). It is mostly about bug fixex and small improvements.

Please also note that web and desktop UI now requires Java 11.

- UI framework updated to Eclipse 4.17 / RAP 3.14
- Improved clipboard support in web UI
- Improved access control logic for enter/leave/schedule maintenance
- Improved generic Cisco driver
- Improved support for Cisco Nexus switches
- Added command line tool nxaevent for sending events to server via local agent
- New agent parameter Agent.IsRestartPending
- Default DCI instance retention time changed to 7 days
- Container auto bind and template auto apply for sensors, mobile devices, and access points is configurable and off by default
- Explicit boolean data type in NXSL
- NXSL regular expression matching operator returns boolean "false" instead of null value if there is no match
- New method setIfXTableUsageMode in NXSL class "Node"
- New methods enableAgentStatusPolling, enableICMPStatusPolling, and enableSNMPStatusPolling in NXSL class "Interface"
- SQL query trace in server can be enabled independently from global debug level and changed at runtime
- Fixed unrecoverable "objects out of sync" state on client
- Fixed issues with file following
- Fixed issues:
        NX-770 (Instance discovery poll a node when an instance DCI is added)
        NX-790 (Ability to disable 802.1x checking)
        NX-1058 (Repeat event in DCI threshold may not be generated if repeat interval is the same as polling interval)
        NX-1173 (Add bulk DCI update functionality)
        NX-1469 (Show warning to user on attempt to force poll node in unmanaged state)
        NX-1602 (Option to disable ICMP poll for individual child Interface objects)
        NX-1623 (DCI > "Clear collected data" should refresh Last Values)
        NX-1948 (Create nxaevent utility similar to nxapush)
        NX-1956 (Allow applying templates to Access Points)
        NX-1975 (Per DCI multiplier settings)
        NX-1983 (Add automatic bind rules for clusters)
        NX-1984 (File delivery policy incorrectly handles Russian letters)
        NX-1985 (File name is cleaned on save in GUI log parser policy editor)

Actually I didn't immediately notice that those addresses are in zone 0. Lines like those:

2020.12.30 12:46:06.029 *D* [snmp.discovery     ] SnmpCheckCommSettings(192.168.1.5): failed
2020.12.30 12:46:06.030 *D* [obj.poll.node      ] AcceptNewNode(192.168.1.5): host is not reachable

I'll double check log tomorrow.

Hi,

from server log it looks like server considers all nodes discovered from ARP cache as unreachable. Just in case - are you running proxy agent as root? Also, are you sure that devices in remote zone accept SNMP requests from proxy agent IP address and that community strings are correct?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,

I just created clean system, added new zone, single node as proxy in it, and passive discovery works as expected. Below are screenshots from my configuration (and you can see object tree in zone "Test" being populated with devices).
Could you please make clean system again, set debug level to 6 on both agent and server, add only proxy node, enable passive discovery, and send me server an agent logs?

Best regards,
Victor
