NetXMS Support Forum

Did you figure this out?

Currently everything points at my NetXMS server. I could, I suppose, put in a dst-nat rule above the NetXMS server that redirects all port 514 to a different box that processes it. it's probably something I'd forget while troubleshooting a broken syslog system in the future.  :-p

Looks like I use this one:

The second one was modified around the time I was trying to fix it.


However now it's starting fine on reboot.  *sigh*

I'm trying to find a way to use Fail2Ban in conjunction with my centralized syslogging that NetXMS already does. However, I don't see a way to point Fail2Ban at NetXMS's database and I don't see a way to get NetXMS to save syslog to save to a file so that I can use standard Fail2Ban methods.

I've also tried via systemctl.

I have discovered that my startup script on Debian 8.6 isn't working. It works fine when I run netxmsd directly, but not when I run it via /etc/init.d/netxmsd start. There are no log entries made that way.

Can I get someone's verified working script so that I can get mine running again?

Anything else you need to do?

Created user, put in Admins group, gave login as mobile device, added password, added mobile device object, entered the Device ID as I see it in the app, added the user there, gave it all rights.

I don't see where the device ID went so I can't verify I entered it correctly.

Error:


199   13.09.2015 16:30:35   SECURITY   [redacted]   128   [redacted]   Mobile device login as user "[redacted]" failed with error code 2 (client info: n/a)


It didn't like the password. I entered the LastPass generated password (copy + paste) and it didn't like it. I changed it to a simple password and it took that.

Tomas, I would like a video tutorial on how to be awesome like you. You've done so much with this, it's a beacon for netXMS. If it weren't for Tomas's help and videos...  I would have looked at it, maybe installed it and moved on due to difficulty in figuring out how to use it. I  know all of the great things Tomas has done with NetXMS, so I plow ahead know he'll light my path.
