NetXMS Support Forum

Hi Victor,

Didn't realize there was a base package for debian :-(
Added it and of course everything is fine.

Thanks (sorry for wasting your time),
Dan

Hi Victor,

Thanks, The android session show AES-256 while the Windows session uses AES-128.

I've been using the Android client for a while now and found it to work fine (most of the time at least). I met the following issues:
- No error message with wrong password
- missing refresh button at dashboards and other screens. I guess screeb auto-update, but sometimes they don't.
- graph containing a lot of data do no appear, as there's no progress indication I can't say if it takes (too) long or just doesn't.
- missing the ability to scale graphs (text too small to read)

I have another question: which user rights are needed to run the Android client?

Keep up the good work,
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

I'm trying to create a debian live CD with the NetXms agent. I've placed the netxms-agent_1.2.5_i386.deb package into the config/chroot_local-packages directory but when I run lb build the log shows the error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
netxms-agent : Depends: netxms-base (= 1.2.5) but it is not installable

Any idea how to solve this?

Kind regards,
Dan

Thank you Victor!

I guess I'm reassured I can safely use the app.
Can I see which negotiated encryption was chosen on the app?

Dan

Hi,

I've installed the Android console app (1.2.5) on my mobile - looks very promising!
To make it work from outside our LAN, firewall configuration needs to be done. Connecting from the web requires security consideration.
I can see the default port 4701 is being used for the android console, is it using the same protocol as the PC console?
I see there's an encryption setting, which encryption is being used? is encryption negotiated/set before user/pass credential transmission?
Can a limit be set to the number of login attempts?

Thanks,
Dan

PS. I couldn't find a wiki page for the app - would be nice to have one.

Hi Putacaso,

The "Entire Network" tree is a read-only one. It shows all nodes as NetXMS has detected them.
Your view of the network is done under the "All Services" tree. There you'll probably (it's optional) want to create first level containers (but you can have a deeper hierarchy) to group your nodes.
It's under the "All Services" hierarchy where you need to right-click to add nodes.
You can either "Bind..." a node and then choose is from the Entire Network if it's already there. Or you can Create Node to add one that was not discovered by NetXMS.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Hi,

I'm trying to set the logwatch agent to capture event from the windows Application log.

The configuration loads without any error the parser file reads as follows:

<parser trace="7">
  <file>*Application</file>
  <rules>
    <rule>
      <source>Dcs*</source>
      <match>(.*)</match>
      <event params="1">100012</event>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</parser>

however no event is raised. I've started the agent is debug mode, I can see other agent event getting triggered but not the log watch.

Is the above wrong?

BTW. IMHO the nxagentd.conf file path syntax for *LOGWATCH is inconsistent

This does not work
Parser = "C:\Program Files\NetXMS\abc.xml"

This does:
Parser = C:\Program Files\NetXMS\abc.xm

Notice the space in the path... I would have though delimiting the path by quotes should be mandatory or at least allowed.

Kind regards,

Dan

Victor,

Thanks for the info. As you may guess I'm looking forwards the release of 1.2.3. (nice number) 
Meanwhile I found the node for my mysterious MAC but that's a different story...

Dan

Hi Victor,

After writing my question, I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade ;-)
(during install I had an issue of the installer not being able to overwrite many dll files in the bin directory. I was able to rename each of them manually in explorer and hit the retry button. The installer went on to copy the files. After doing so quite a few times the installation succeed.)

We have a mix of Nortel 55xx and Juniper EX 4xxx series switches which I yesterday manually added to NetXMS. For all of them, SNMP is discoverd and their interface information is displayed. I went on to activate auto-discovery to passive and active.
I've tried the right-click / tools / info /... on our switches and all seems to work.

What I find strange is that for all Windows PC's the interface object is unknown, NetXMS knows their IP but not their MAC. Windows machines with an agent installed do have correct interface objects, surly I don't have to install an agent on each machine to have it's MAC?

Is there anything else I should do?

BTW, is there a way to obtain information about the progress of the auto-discovery?

Dan

Hi,

Using NetXMS 1.1.1

I would like to find on which switch/port a device (PC) is connected given its MAC address.
I see the Find MAC address... menu item under the tools menu but when trying to use it I receive the following error:
Connection point information cannot be found.

Do I need to set something up before I can use this functionality?

Dan

Hi lweidig,

Thanks for answering.
After configuring the SSG to allow snmp communication, after reading some more on snmp I got it working :-)
The OID's you mention did the trick.

Thanks again,

Dan

Hi,

Is it possible to monitor interface bandwidth of a Juniper SSG with NetXMS?

Thanks,
Dan

Hello all,

This is more a question about WMI than NetXMS however it's related as I wish to monitor using NetXMS.
Maybe one of the forum's reader could assist...
I'm looking for the WMI counter(s) that will give me the bytes read and written for a specific process per address.
The information I'm seeking is the same as the one is shown in the Network tab of Resource Monitor (Windows 2008 or later OS). Here the process is labeled "image", the remote machine is called "address" and you can see Send(B/min) Receive (B/min) and Total(B/min).

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Dan

Jdowney,  I agree that Blackberry is indeed present at companies, we use them ourselves as well. However I believe even in the business segment Blackberry is losing ground, and my personal bet is that it won't change soon.

Sending notification mail to any device supporting email can be done today in NetXMS, however it does not always give you enough information to take adequate action. In team context it does not tell you who is on the case and were action already taken by the time you've noticed the alarm. A reduced mobile interface can assist here a lot.
Dan

Although not using NetXMS on a mobile device myself (yet), a mobile version can undoubtedly be useful in remote monitoring.
From the list of technologies proposed, the two dominant players these days are Apple and Google. Blackberry in on the decline, Nokia moved from Symbian to Windows Mobile but both companies are still lacking far behind on market share. Since an Android client already exist, I would guess efforts should be spent on iOS devices (iPhone & iPad)
