NetXMS Support Forum

Is there a way to create custom attribute fields for a node when it is discovered and potentially populate them based on some rules?  I tried adding a couple of custom attributes fields to some of my templates hoping it would apply them to all of the objects that this applied to, but that did not happen.  The scripting language seems to have a function to get a custom attribute, but I did not find one to create or set them.

Thanks!

Could you make the alarm key one of the fields displayed in the alarm browser window.  Would be useful when working on the setup of event processing policy and trying to see why certain events are not getting cleared.

Downloaded and installed the standalone installer for the 64-bit web gui.  It installed and I can get to the login page.  However, I cannot figure out where to configure it so that it points to the NetXMS server located on a different machine.  Where do configurations go in the windows setup.  There is not an nxhttpd.conf file that I can see.  Thanks as always!

We have a number of access units that will report back to us the current number of associations that they have and the maximum allowed associations for the unit.  We are trying to setup thresholds such that we get a warning at 75% capacity and critical at 90% capacity.  So I tried setting up an item like the following under the value field:

GetDCIValue($node, FindDCIByName($node, "MaxAssociations")) * 0.90

Function: Last polled value
Samples: 1
Function: > : greater then

It appears either my syntax is incorrect or the system does not perform evaluation for the Value field.  How can this be accomplished?  Thanks!

Besides the default community field there is a list that allows setting up additional SNMP communities.  I was hoping that during discovery if the primary did not work it would try the others listed in order until it found one that was working or had mad it through the list.  So far it has only discovered devices that respond on our default community.  Can you explain how this works?

We would really like to have discovery be able to check many different communities.  Our network has a number of different ones for one reason or another. 

Thanks!

Couple of questions about active discovery:

1. While most discovered devices are ending up under the correct subnets under the "Entire Network" section, we have a number that were just dumped into the root of the tree.  What causes this and how do we get them into the Entire Network tree.

2. Can you explain how address filters work?  We are hoping to filter out the addresses out of the network we have links to and/or routes but it seems to add them either way.

3.  What is the best way suggested to apply templates and classify newly discovered nodes in the Infrastructure Services tree? 

4.  Some discovered sections end up with a components section which can have a lot of additional information.  Is there a list somewhere of types of devices it "knows" about?  Can we add additional detection easily?

5.  Is there any updated documentation?  Seems to not be in sync with product we are using (1.2.1) and even what I have found seems to not list all of the functions available, discuss what subagents are, ...  Seems there may be a lot of hidden power waiting to be unleashed

So far love the tool though!  Thanks!

Not having luck I with the .deb files I grabbed the source

sh ./configure --with-server --with-mysql --with-agent  --prefix=/usr

No matter how I change the netxmsd.conf file I get some variation of:

# /usr/bin/nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_mysql.sql
NetXMS Database Manager Version 1.2.1

Unable to load and initialize database driver "/usr/lib/libnxddr_mysql.so"

I have tried the following for the driver line:

DBDriver = /usr/lib/libnxddr_mysql.so
DBDriver = mysql.ddr
DBDriver = /usr/lib/netxms/dbdrv/mysql.ddr

All of them produce a varion of the unable to load message based on the driver name.

I can login to MySQL server using:
# mysql -h localhost -u netxms -p netxms

This is basically a fresh / patched installation of 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 and then added the following packages:

apt-get install libssl0.9.8 libtre5 libreadline5 mysql-server mysql-client
dpkg -i base
dpkg -i agent
dpkg -i server
dpkg -i server-mysql

It is definitely related to the library though.  If I change the config to use the sqlite library then everything runs fine.  Of course do not want to use this, so need the mysql solution.  Will probably try downloading and installing library from source.

Stuck, please help.
