NetXMS Support Forum

Hi Filipp, not sure I understnad what I should do but here ios the config for nxagentd.conf

QuoteMasterServers = 127.0.0.1,::1
ConfigIncludeDir = C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d
LogFile = C:\NetXMS\log\nxagentd.log
FileStore = C:\NetXMS\var
SubAgent = portcheck.nsm
SubAgent = ssh.nsm
SubAgent = winperf.nsm
SubAgent = wmi.nsm

should I change this to something else? for example change 127.0.0.1 to the ip of the NetXMS server?

By Traffic monitoring I mean "Anything going out / getting in" through the router, yes you are correct I want to gather stats from router. My router is Vigor 2926 from Draytek

 I have a fresh new setup, updated network configuration to do "Passive and Active." discovery, all servers and devices are discovered except a D-Link switch.
First of all, I have a 2 or 3 machines who have 2 or 3 NIcs, in the "entire network" list, those machines are repeated in the list as the same number of Nics.
2nd, under all discovered machines, there is Nic icon flagged with "Unknown" as you can notice in the attached snapshot.

When I try for example doing a map layer2, my router as seed, I get only 2 nodes, one for the router, second for the subnet nothing else. I expect to see a map of all servers connected to router!!!

Yes, correct but what I am looking for is monitoring all traffic on my router, in the video "Basics 8: Data collection (DCIs)", he shows how to collect devices temperatures which not what I am interested in. Any idea?

Thanks, those videos are out-of-date. I am not sure I see in any video network monitoring topic!

Hi, I setup NetXMS because I understood that it is one of the best 10 tools to monitor a network. Can you please let me know how can I activate*start monitoring my network traffic in NetXMS? Thanks

I am following the video "NetXMS client and basic server settings" at https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/NetXMS_Video_Tutorial_Series which are a little bit out-of-date, when I try to do poll > configuration
I always get

Quote[29.10.2021 11:14:26] Starting configuration poll for node WIN10-NETXMS
[29.10.2021 11:14:26] Checking node's capabilities...

[29.10.2021 11:14:26]    Cannot connect to NetXMS agent (Internal error)

in spite of the fact that the NetXMS agent service is up and running. NetXMS is running on windows 10

I installed teh web-ui and was able to login, updated network configuration to do "Passive...". First of all, I have a 2 or 3 machines who have 2 or 3 NIcs, in the "entire network" list, those machines are repeated as the same number of Nics.
2nd, under all discovered machines, there is Nic icon flagged with "Unknown".
Also, I have a D-Link switch which was not discovered.

So my last query is about "Network Monitoring" for which I was interested to test NetXMS. Can you please let me know where I can monitor network traffic?

Thanks

Correct Victor, and thanks I downloaded and installed SQL native client and setup went through without issue. But when I clicked on "Finish", nothing happened, no message....no wizard again and not sure how to continue

No Sir, it is not indicated in the prerequisites. I thought the setup takes care of everhthing

Can you please tell me what versions of sql server are compatible (2019, 2016, 2014.........)., Mine is
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP2-CU15)

Filipp, I have just tried all possibilities with the command, default instance DB host name , IP, named instance ip/named instance

Quotenxdbmgr check

I get the same exact error as you can notice for the 4 tests

And here you can see that pining the sql server works fine

Hi Filipp, I already tried with another sql server default installation, not a named instance (without the /), same issue happened

I can ping the host and connect to the default and named instance from anywhere in my network. NeyXNS is setup on a new brand fresh win 10 VM, in case you mean SSMS on this VM no It is not setup and I think that NetMXS setup will install necessary libraries to access SQL default or named instance

Yes of course, it is a remote named instance sql server (as you can notice in the text where I indicated the name of SQL server

QuoteUnable to connect .... server SQL2K12\SC2K12,

not on the machine where I am installing netxms, even I created manullay NetMXS DB and a user and granted it dbcreator privileges
