NetXMS Support Forum

ok after doing some packet captures there does seem to be a slight difference in response from netxms .. after the initial report from the switch which includes the engineid nextxms fails to include the engineid in following get request messages.  I have verified that both snmpb and using net-snmp command line from my laptop both work and all but netxms includes the engineid.  Not sure if this is still a vendor issues or not but the specific  switch i am testing is a Ruggedcom RS900

Hmm... Probly a vendor issue then ?  Are you using AuthPriv  on your devices ?



Thanks for you help

Has any one gotten V3 to work correctly ?   Ive tried both 1.2.17 and 2.0RC  and it seems to have issues in both versions .. Im querying a switch for sys.name and I can pull that same information using SNMPB client  no problems but every time i try netxms i have problems  is this a known problem

1. Is there a way to show IFALIAS in interfaces table? Or better to replace interface names with this attribute.


I also needed this ..  If you go to   Configuration > ServerConfiguration  and change  UserInterfaceAliases value to 3  it will provide you with both if# and if Alias  but it wont change instantly you will have to wait for the next polling interval I believe or you can simply go to the node you want to test on right click  > poll > interfaces names and it should change it instantly

is it possible to change the icon and icon size of the world map nodes in 1.2.17 ?  It would be nice to be able to set these parameters since it can be unreadable if you have nodes that are in close proximity ... Also being able to right click and connect via ssh or web browser would be big help...  I looked in the docs and forum and couldnt find any info on this ...


Thanks

Question ... is there any way to get external events into netxms ? i already use graylog2 for syslog so iwould rather not set up another sysylog server ...for instance i use arpalert to monitor any unauthorized mac address or ip on the network and can execute a script based on those alerts so i would like to genrate an alert and send it to netxms for further processing ... is this possible

Good to know thank you for the quick reply

Could you add a oui lookup table or allow the user to download the IEE oui database and upload it to the server this way when macaddresses are discovered or when your looking for a particular mac address it will also show you the Vendor associated with the MAC ... As well as being able to generate a report based on vendor...  example if i want to find out how many Axis encoders I have in the system i could look that up based on the current snmp info that was gathered previously ......



Thanks,

P.S   This is by far the best NMS I have found compared to the previous if have tried    PandorasFMS, Zabbix , libreNMS ,and Nagios  Thanks for your hard work

Also just as a note I already added the DefaultCommunityString variable to the server configuration and restarted and it is still doing it

Why does the 2.0-RC2  Server Continue to send the public community string ?  I have configured  only one community string in the snmp credentials tab   but  the wire shark capture show the server sending out several requests that use public and then several requests with my custom community string which is causing a lot of problems since our switches willl no longer respond to snmp queries after so many failed attempts. I looked through the configs and folders and cannot find any where this is configured unless it is hardcoded into the software
