NetXMS Support Forum

Wanted to get your views around the best strategy of "Exporting the list of nodes" as mentioned in this previous post.

First 2 methods are mentioned in the previous post:

• SQL Query on the underlying database - assumes you have access to the NetXMS server configuration file and can read the database connection details
• Script exporting to CSV through running nxshell - not sure if the CSV is exported locally on the client PC executing the script or on the NetXMS server
• Creating a PDF report with all nodes through the NetXMS management platform and then converting it into an Excel spreadsheet

Any thoughts would be welcome as to which method would be the best one given that I DO NOT have direct access to the NetXMS server other than being able to remotely connect with NetXMS management console.

Hi,

I would suggest method 2 then (using nxshell). Script is executed on your workstation using same API, so as long as you can connect with console you'll be able to run it.

Best regards,
Victor
