I want to set NXShell properties through the .properties file (not through the command line). I have tried nxshell.porperties and netxms-client.properties, but they don't work. What is the correct name of the properties file for NXShell?

Process.CountEx metric is not working properly. If I use only the first argument and don't specify the other optional ones, it returns an incorrect process count.
If I specify the process owner name, it returns an incorrect count (all processes are returned but the owner name is ignored).
As shown in the screenshot - the metric is set to Process.CountEx(cmd.exe), realistically there are 6 cmd.exe running under different users, but the returned value is 44. Other arguments when I enter, also the metric returns incorrect values.
Process.Count metric works correct ly and returns the correct number of processes.

In the documentation there are only parameters. The database connection is clear, but how does the QueryTemplate parameter work? How do I write a custom notification to the table?

How to configure the ListenAddress parameter for nxreportd? If I run the report on a standalone server, by default the binding is set to loopback and thus it is not possible to connect to the service from a remote server.

Parameters don't work in the URL for the web console either.

When using nxmc.exe --server=192.168.0.100 or -server=192.168.0.100 , the error "Invalid command line option" is displayed. When the helper is displayed with the -h switch, completely different switches (eg --host) are displayed. But here the switches are mentioned but they don't work.
I tried it --host 192.168.0.100 and --host=192.168.0.100 , but does not work.

And also remove any unnecessary firewall rules. Would prefer an installer modification that would not put the user in this situation.

If I manually create a database and a user, everything works, but automatic does not. This is an installer error. I tried automatic user and database creation with MS SQL Server as well and the error was repeated.

I wanted to try the scenario described in the documentation, where it says about the possibility of a separate report server. Unfortunately the installer contains another issue (another one I described here a here). It lists the base component as mandatory and in fact it is not necessary to install it for the report server.
It is worth considering correcting this error.

When installing a standalone report server, however, the Base component (and therefore netxmsd) is checked and cannot be unchecked and is therefore mandatory.
ReportingServer.Hostname is set to remote report server correctly.
For the report server to work, should I disable netxmsd and leave only the report service?

If I install the report service on a separate server (a different server than the one on which the netxms server is installed), the event "Database is already locked by another NetXMS server instance (IP address: 192.168.0.254, machine info: nxserver Windows Server 2012 Build 9200)" is written to the netxmsd.log. NetXMS server and report server use the same login. I have also tried separate logins, the database always locks up.

I have checked on two installations: the installer cannot create a user and then a database when the Create database and database user before initialization checkbox is checked.
OS: Windows
DB: MariaDB

Server installer contains unnecessary checkbox Create a desktop shortcut and Create a Quick Launch shortcut (then it appears that part of the installation is if the Client app). It might be better to remove these controls.

Please, add button to installer to check database configuration (to verify database connection).
