NetXMS Support Forum

Hi Alex,

sorry for the late reply. I did upgrade to 1.2.7 from 1.1.10 and here is the error I get - related to nxencpasswd.

Any idea what I did wrong?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Victor,

Did as suggested, from NetXMS 1.2.7 server run at command line as root 'nxget -I <agent_ipaddr>'. Did test this command on three different agents (2x v1.1.10 and 1x v1.2.7)
Result = success - all expected parameters are listed including those I've created and integrated in nxagentd.conf.

Anything you suggest for the NetXMS management console?
Because this prevents the definition of new data collection via the console.

Did roll back to previous agent 1.1.10 for which it was working. But not anymore.
Seems like upgrade to 1.2.7 does not bring in the statistics available via the NXAgent and nxagentd.conf + scripts / etc.

Hi,

I've installed new release 1.2.7 and agent as well on Linux CentOS.
Both agent and server logs do not show any error. When willing to define a collection data item, the list of possible parameters when "NXagent" is selected in "Origin" drop-down box is emtpy. Event those defined per default and those I defined while using previous releases are not shown! It seems the collection of older defined dat acollection item is still performed though.

Please advise on how to solve htis issue.

Many thanks
Best regards,

Hi,

We are currently trying to setup a HTTPS Reverse Proxy for accessing the Dashboard.
A server placed on a private network hosts NetXMS 1.2.5 and Dashboard. A Reverse Proxy in the DMZ is accessible via HTTPS only.

Currently, we see the client request on https://<public_IP>/nxmc/ forwarded to the internal server correctly as http://<private_IP>:8080/nxmc/. NetXMS internal server replies with a 302 (Page moved) with appropriate URL (http://<public_IP>/nxmc/nxmc?start=org.netxms.webui.core.nxmc) except that it is HTTP and not HTTPS. Do you have an idea how we could have HTTPS instead of HTTP?

FYI: when we provide directly the final URL (https://<public_IP>/nxmc/nxmc?start=org.netxms.webui.core.nxmc - note: HTTPS), everything works fine.

Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,

JDamien

When executing the package installation (....apkg)
Did only stop the old release of agent.

Maybe check your DB with nxdbmgr
it will possibly find some discrepancy and fix it.

Many Thanks Victor.
I'm looking forward to get this new feature.

As it is soon XMas, here are some requests for nice features:

• Get possibility to insert GPS coordinates as for a DCI (external script pushing the value in a specific formatted string) - is this already available?
• Possibility to zoom in/out in a Geo Map in the dashboard (possibly using a scale on the side as for GoogleMap / GoogleEarth...
• Ability to configure the line chart as fro the graphs produced in NetXMS console (right clik on the graph opens a drop down menu -> "Properties..."
• Especially the ability to zoom on an interval in the line chart would be very interesting
• Ability to define font size in label element in Dashboard
• IMPORTANT: Ability to remove the menus that are not accessible as per the access rights defined per user
• IMPORTANT: Ability to remove any information or link that is not accessible as per the access rights defined per user (Example: in Dashboard, in a node context, the command panel shall not be visible if user has only "Read" access)
• IMPORTANT: When providing access to a limited number of items (nodes, dashboards, services, etc) the Web GUI shall provide a structured tree of all those elements (Services, Dashboard, Nodes...) and not have them just listed one after the other in alphabetic order

... which is the case if one reads the label/title of the pop-up window entirely!   

hi,

Please, find here below some minor issues we found while using the management console / dashboard / Web GUI:

• Web GUI - Login window: need to type twice "tab" key to move from "login" field to "password" field
• Management console - DCI definition: it seems that the field "Description" is erased when selecting the "Parameter". So one shall FIRST select the "Parameter" then define the "description"
• Web GUI - Dashboard: pie chart title does not seem to be displayed even though the relevant check box is ticked in the config panel

Hi all,

I have to monitor some service / statistics (DCI) on a cluster which is composed of at least 2 nodes. In the Management console, it is clear how to create the cluster and the two (or more) nodes. The I have created the DCI on the cluster object (not the node) and assigned them to the virtual resource (active on the master). I see all DCI being replicated on each node with the ones on the master node being the only ones active and collected. So far, so good.

Now, in the Dashboard, I want to graph (line chart) the DCI related to the service. How do we do this? When i'm at the point where I have to select the data source for the graph, the cluster object does not provide any DCI, only the child nodes do. Do we have to select the DCI(s) on all nodes composing the cluster? In this case the legend shows twice each DCI...

I was expecting the defined DCI would be listed under the Cluster object and would report - when selected - the value collected by the node owning the virtual instance.

Could you, please, clarify where am I wrong? How shall I configure my system to perform as expected?

Currently, the DCI script reported '0' when running on the slave instance (where the service does not run) and 'real value' when running on the master instance (where service is active). When a fail-over takes place, I expect the 'real value' to be the one on the new master (former slave)...

Hi there,

When building a dashboard and defining the access rights for the different users, is it somehow possible to configure which menu would be visible depending on the user/login?
For example, for a dummy user, I would like him to have only access to the dashboard view / i.e. panel -> no menu, no side panel, nothing else than the defined dashboard.

Is there a way to do this?

BTW, some feedback on dashboard:

• It would be nice to have the possibility to set font parameters for the label that can be added in the dashboard.
• Also, the pie chart title does not seem to be displayed even though the relevant check box is ticked in the config panel.

Many thanks in advance

Many thanks for your feedback

I did successfully installed Web GUI console on the same server as my NetXMS server - release 1.2.4 / CentOS 6.3 / Tomcat6 / Java 1.6.0_24

Just to remove the potential misunderstanding, one should clarify that the IP address that is provided at login (see "options" at the bottom right) is in fact the IP address to be used by Servlet engine to contact the NetXMS server. The IP address for connecting the to Web GUI is already provided in URL. Therefore, this IP address is 127.0.0.1 when Servlet engine is installed on NetXMS server.

Hi,

I tried to install nxgentd package 1.2.4 on a CentOS 6.0 and I got the following errors:

line 84: [: too many arguments
line 93: [: too many arguments

and failed. The system is currently running nxagentd 1.1.10 installed using the package as well. The agent is stopped while upgrade is attempted.

Any idea?

thanks
