NetXMS Support Forum

I hate to drudge up an old thread/topic, but I looked at the feature request link and didn't see that this was ever implemented.  I was googling and came across this topic, as I was looking for the same thing; I'm manually trying to find/parse/figure out all OIDs and create DCI's for a device.  I feel like I have probably 30-40 hours into this now and I don't think I've even made a dent in the possibilities yet haha.   Being able to walk everything, and then just rename DCIs or turn them into templates would be amazing.  

Although, I may have missed something or being this totally wrong, too!  :-)

Oh.   *facepalm*  I just drop the {instance} and it matches the DCI for the node... haha.  

Sadly, I think I understand what's happening here... and this just isn't possible. 

Am I correct?   

Is there any way to define a DCI and then, also, tell it to ignore the last n characters of the OID based on the context?

I've been able to figure out how to poll a lot of information from SNMP, but as I'm trying to dump this into dashboards, I'm receiving the following error:

Cannot read measurement unit information: Illegal repetition near index 28
.1.3.6.1.4.1.41112.1.4.7.1.3.{instance}

Some google searching reveals that the java implementation of regex requires \\ before the { however with various attempts/changes and more searching, I'm not finding anything that works and doesn't break what I already have working :-)

Since I don't quite know what I'm doing, I'm not sure if this is an issue with the script in Instance Discovery, or if there is a bug of some sort when building dashboards, that doesn't like an SNMP OID that references {instance}. 

I found how to add this as a tab, AND make it the default.   I'm pretty sure you all have thought of everything... I just need to figure out how to use it all!  hahaha :-)

In the Dashboard's Properties > Object Context:   Check the box for "Show this Dashboard in Object Context" and set the Display Priority to 1

Excellent! 

I'm still trying to find the "direct" access of the dashboard like in the old client (right click on node, go to "Dashboards" and then select the dashboard... However, now that I can add it as a tab (and make it the default), this isn't nearly as much of a problem.   :-)

Ok, this is definitely looking like I'm headed in the right direction (so far).  I've found the section you mentioned, created a simple context aware template dashboard, and applied it via filter.  

The problem I'm having... I see no way on the node to open the dashboard.  Doesn't seem to be a "tab" for it at the top.  Can't seem to find it in any of the menus, etc.  
For information though, I'm attempting (as much as possible) to use the "new" Client interface... so I realized that this may not be available yet here?    (although, step 1 is

I did find it in the older client, although it seems to be rather "hard" to get to.   I'd love to see a way to add this as a tab (or, better yet, add it as a tab and have that tab be the default rather than overview?)

I'm going to keep playing around... I'm loving this!  :-)

Thank you Filipp!  I will research those settings and options and see if they address what I'm looking for.   Overall, absolutely love NetXMS; it's just a lot to pick up and wrap my head on all at once.   I can certainly provide any feedback, and I'll post back here with any more related questions.   Very much appreciate your time and help, and attendance to the support forum (this is so rare for open source products!!!). 

I see where dashboards can be created globally, but I'm not seeing similar functionality for a Node.   The "Overview" sort of serves this function, but as best I can tell, the Overview tab is not editable, and doesn't display graphs, and you can't rearrange anything that is on it in a way that would best display information (to us). 

I've tried to put data that I've polled via SNMP into the Performance tab, but I think the Performance tab only shows graphs?? (I was able to display txt/string values in a Dashboard via a gauge). 

I guess I was thinking that I could build dashboards within a template (or reference a dashboard that I had created as a template) and then have that dashboard available for each Node. 

Or, is there a way to automatically generate Dashboards for every Node, and then filter and group Dashboards?

Sorry I'm very new at this so my thoughts may not be clear or correct on any of this, and sadly, my scripting/programming skills are pretty limited unless I see examples or something similar (or two similar examples I can mash together).

Thanks!

This is apparently still a bug/issue.   The # character cannot be used in the password for the db user (works fine from MySQL Command Line Client).
