NetXMS Support Forum

Have been trying to get back into building our monitoring NXMS... now have hit a bit of a road block.

Am getting info into logs - but appears I can only filter by Time and Date, and some others I am not yet interested in - while a filter that requres the selection of an object fails to place the object as a filter.

Am Primarily doing SNMP monitoring, and am at the stage where i am trying to sort out what gets logged and what doesn't, but not being able to see whats happening over time with a praticular device is a big issue.

Have tried Logging into console as system, and Running as admin, but have not been able to use Source or Zone Filters.  Just checked and Event object selection actually works.

Currently on Version 3.7.95 - if anyone has some info as to how to make these work - would be appreciated.

Although i am trying to get away from this - with Radius - I have some nodes that I require to use tools that call a standardised user/password.

It have - for my initial Build - added these to custom attributes.

Although everone in my organisation knows these passwords - it would be nice if we also had an option to use obsucred "Password" style fields, just in case someone gains some kind of access they shouldn't

I know about the SSH Fields that have this - but have been informed that these fields are not call-able from external tools (no macro to call the password field)
In saying that - the bulk of this is that I prefer external Putty (and I know about the internal ssh tool) - but there will be a number of useful aspects to this for us moving forward with additional toos as they come to use.

Any questions/Comments - let us know.

Have had a look through the forums and surprisingly not found anything pertaining to this that i can see.

Am looking to use the password of the active user for tools.  Active user is radius auth.

I see there is currently no way to use a password unless manually entered (via input fields or in custom attributes). 
Custom attributes no good as changes on a pre user basis - and I see no per user attributes.  Also Plain text - not ideal
Input fields - Clunky - have to enter every time.

Is there any way that the Password entered at login could be saved to a callable field (like input feilds are) that can be called globally.
If not - can there be an option to activate an Input field for a global password at login (this would need to be resettable in the session also - as you may get it wrong, or would need to call radius again to auth - so as you know you have the right one)

Either way - I would presume that if required these fields could be encrypted until used - making them no less secure that input fields as it stands.

Any help appreciated - if more info required - let me know.

Cheers

Hey Peeps.

Looking for a way to have it so as my tools will be able to pull access details from current user session.

Am looking to use RADIUS to auth all techs - and then have that same RADIUS server give them access to the managed Devices.

Can populate tools with a %U for the unique username - however can see no way to use the password from the current session in a tool (as a macro or otherwise)

Can add Custom Attributes to the Nodes/Templates and use those - but as using radius - will be a per user password.

Is there any way to pull and assign the current session's password to a required tool - or is there a place where I can put per user attributes to pull from with an object Tool macro/script

I found the info about Input fields - but this will not do.  I am not at all adverse to the team having to do a password change in XMS and RADIUS (if they want) - but having to enter the password every time is no good)

Any Script examples or ideas of where to go appreciated.  If no such thing is available - I'll put in a request

Cheers in advance
