NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,
I have a relatively large NetXMS deployment and I have nodes organized in multi-level container hierarchy, e.g.:

-Infrastructure
|__Client1
     |___PDC
             |___Node1
             |___Node2
             |___Node3
     |___DRC
             |___Node1
             |___Node2
             |___Node3
     |___Branches
             |___East-Side
                      |____Node1
                      |____Node2
                      |____Node3
             |___West-Side
                      |____Node1
                      |____Node2
                      |____Node3
|__Client2
     |___PDC
             |___Node1
             |___Node2
             |___Node3
     |___DRC
             |___Node1
             |___Node2
             |___Node3
     |___Branches
             |___East-Side
                      |____Node1
                      |____Node2
                      |____Node3
             |___West-Side
                      |____Node1
                      |____Node2
                      |____Node3
.... and so on..

What i want to achieve is to set few custom attributes on higher-level containers (e.g. Client1, Client2) with general client-specific info such as contact details, email notification recipients, etc. that i can use in events and actions.
In order to achieve that i need some sort of Custom Attribute "inheritance" from top to bottom, or alternatively a way to access parent containers custom attributes.

Is there a way to achieve that?

Hi,

I think it will be really nice and powerful feature to have if there's a way for the end user to change the time-range of the graphs in the Performance tab.

This will give us Cacti-like end user experience which i know users find quite easy and intuitive.

Nice, good to know.
Will this feature help in my case - when the device goes back up and returns good value will it return automatically from unsupported state?

Hi
Is there a way to invalidate a value and just force netxms to NOT write the value recieved in the database.
I need that because we're extensively using imcp.pingresponsetime function on remote agents. When a monitored node goes down the agent returns value of 10000ms which renders my graph useless and also skews the max/avg stats.
What i need is to get no data for icmp round trip time while the node is unreachable. I have partial success with replacing 10000 with 0 which makes the graph look acceptable, but still skews the averages.
So is there a way to prevent a value from being written into the dci value database?

Hi,
I am working on setting up instance discovery for our routers in order to have the DCIs automatically created for all interfaces that have IP addresses set.
I have almost made it working using this script:

snmp = CreateSNMPTransport($node);

if (snmp == null)
return -1;

oid = ".1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2"; // ip-to-ifindex relationship
vars = SNMPWalk(snmp, oid);

if (vars == null)
return -2; // SNMPWalk failed

foreach (v: vars) {
trace(5, "SNMP WALK ".v->name."=".v->value);
if (v->value == $1) {
ifName = SNMPGetValue(snmp, ".1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2." . $1);
trace(5, "interface index id ".$1." has IP and its name is ".ifName." so we return true");
return %(true, $1, ifName);
} else {
trace(5, "interface index id ".$1." has no IP and its name is ".ifName." so we return false");
return %(false, $1, ifName);
}
}

The issue is that it seems that SNMPWalk function returns only the first row instead of array of all 6 rows. So when I initiate instance discovery it creates a DCI only for instance id 5 (the first row from snmpwalk).

Here are some tests with snmpwalk:

# snmpwalk -v 2c -c CyIraBpNx3JjBqUDExzM 172.16.1.110 .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2

Please help - where am I wrong?

P.S. what happens when an interface gets deleted - does netxms delete the relevant DCIs?
