NetXMS Support Forum

We are monitoring several Ruckus, Ubiquiti and Meraki AP's and would like to get some more information from the devices wireless wise, but can't seem to find out how to do it. I have read this article https://netxms.com/blog/enhancements-in-wireless-monitoring-with-netxms-5-a-detailed-overview, but can't figure out how to add them as stand alone AP's.

when I create a wireless domain, I can only add a controller, not an AP. Any help?

I solved the issue - forgot to set the proxy agent on the Zone.

Thanks 

How do I get the NIC vendor from within a script? I like to change the node name on ICMP only nodes to be IP-adress + NIC vendor.

I'm a novice user at NetXMS, so bear with me about technical terms, but link/binding or not, should not limit the ability to add discovered nodes.

Here is the log from a node with 192.168.1.205, which does not get added.

I have configured a remote agent trough the agent tunnel and linked the agent to a container in a zone. I have setup network discovery for the zone and selected the agent as the proxy node. In the agent logs, I can see the scan is being activated and lots of devices are found with both icmp and snmp scan, but nodes are not being added. Anyone who can guide me where to look for issues?
