NetXMS Support Forum

My goal is the write a script that I can run from the server console that will walk through a group of nodes in a particular container and activate DCIs that are currently disabled and showing as unsupported.

My first question, is this possible?

Second, I'd like to write a script that can run even with CheckTrustedNodes set 1.  My first problem is retrieving the root object.  I know I am suppose to use:

$r = FindObject("1",$object);

but $r is always null, and my thought is that I don't have permission to access the root object.  My user is part of the admins group.  Am I missing something here?  Andrew

I am trying to use a custom attribute inside a DCI.  I have a data parameter ServiceCheck.Custom(%IP%,80) and a custom attribute IP = 192.168.0.1.  I am trying to poll the web port of a device from this node, but I want to specify the IP as a custom attribute.  Is this possible? and what is the correct syntax?  Thanks, Andrew

I have a situation where a DCI  becomes disabled on many nodes due to an unsupported value, because I am pushing out an updated script.  Up to this point, I have been using the management console to re-enable the DCI on each node, which resolves the issue, but is very time consuming because I have to drill down into each node.  Is there a way to have a node recover from an unsupported value on it's own (automatically re-enable the DCI), or be able to select many nodes at one time and re-enable the DCI?  Thanks, Andrew

Hello, I have a server running NetXMS version 2.0.5, and a client running 2.0.4 with the following config file:

##
## netxmsa.conf
##
MasterServers = 10.2.23.208,10.1.23.208,10.2.25.172,10.1.25.172
DataDirectory = C:\ProgramData\NetXMS
EnabledCiphers = 1
ExecTimeout = 300000
FileStore = C:\Users\Public\Downloads
ConfigIncludeDir = C:\ProgramData\NetXMS\netxmsa
LogFile = C:\ProgramData\NetXMS\netxmsa\var\netxmsa.log
# LogFile = {syslog}
RequireAuthentication = no
StartupDelay = 16
SubAgent = portcheck.nsm
SubAgent = winperf.nsm
SubAgent = wmi.nsm

The client agent starts, but doesn't not generate the log file C:\ProgramData\NetXMS\netxmsa\var\netxmsa.log.  The directory exists, and has the correct permissions.  Is there some other way I can get diagnostic information to find out why it is not writing out this file?  Thanks, Andrew

Hello, I am trying write a simple Java program to help automate some tasks, and I am having some difficulty working with the API.  I wrote this test program:

// NetXMS API Version 2.0.4

import org.netxms.client.*;
import org.netxms.base.*;
import org.netxms.client.objects.*;

public class xmstool
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      
      try
      {
         NXCSession s = new NXCSession("NetXMS server");
         s.connect();
         s.login("user", "password");
         
         if(s.isConnected())
         {
            System.out.println("Connected");
         }
         else
         {
            System.out.println("Not connected");
         }
         
         AbstractObject node = s.findObjectByName("name of node");
         
         if(node == null)
         {
            System.out.printf("Did not find node\n");
         }
                  
      } catch(Exception e)
      {
         System.out.println("Fail");
         
      }      
    }   
}

I the program runs, and connects to the server, but I am not able to get a valid node object no matter what name I search for.  Am I missing something? Andrew
