NetXMS Support Forum

What about adding network configuration management?

I had started making my own. Below is the output of my config diff check. The only thing out there currently that is opensource is Rancid, Oxidized, rConfig, and a few others. I had used cattools before SolarWinds bought em up years ago and it was a major asset to network management and something that saved my bacon many times.

With NetXMS, Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager, and some form of network configuration management it'd be easy for a small staff to manage a very large swath of network infrastructure.

Something I haven't been able to figure out is why NetXMS isn't one of the first things I see when I Google for opensource network monitoring software. I had to stumble across it and then the information was sparse. Most of my introduction to NetXMS was from Tomas Kirnak on TheBrothersWISP and the training videos he made. If it wasn't for him I probably never would have dug any deeper.

After loading it up I was surprised at what it could do. It exceeded my expectations by a decent margin and I was expecting a lot, lol. Some very intuitive thinking came into play on making this program work.

After I got the server up and running on Debian I setup the management program. What!? It's portable! It have "everything" I need from Netflow to development programs running portable now (veracrypt volume on thumb drive, to abstract my apps from the workstation and, security). I was tickled pink.

I just don't get why more network/sys admins aren't using this? Too much of a learning curve?

1.  When using a map and clicking on an element I often move it accidentally. Is there a way to "lock" your finished map in place where the elements cannot be moved?

2.  Dashboard and Map element images. When I first login I see the below. After a refresh it is ok. Am I doing something wrong?

after refresh:

That fixed it. Thank you for your help.

I am having an issue getting a couple elements to stack. On the first row I have columns set to '8' and elements set to 2/2,2/2,1/1,1/1,3/2 under the Layout. My assumption would be that the two elements set as 1/1 would stack vertically but they position side by side forcing me to set the last element to 2/2 instead of 3/2 for the first row. (Note:  last element not shown)

I've solved all of my problems to date without bugging you guys but I'm stumped on this. How can I fix it? Edit XML?
