NetXMS Support Forum

Hi all!

NetXMS 2.0-M1 is released. This is first release in 2.0 branch. From now on we change version numbering scheme. Now it consists of only two numbers followed by qualifier. Qualifier could me M (for Milestone) which indicates milestone toward release, RC (for Release Candidate), and no qualifier for stable release. Patches after release will be indicated by adding third number.
We do lot of changes in system internals, and much more expected in next milestone versions. Although we do our best to test system before release, M versions may still be unstable, so upgrade with care and be prepared for rollback.

Full change log since previous release:

- Network service response time can be monitored
- Added driver for HP A-series and V-series switches
- MIB compiler correctly handles REFERENCE keyword in agent capabilities section
- Oracle Tuxedo monitoring subagent

Hi,

browsing performance counters from template configuration is not supported yet. You can configure required counter on node and then use "convert to template item" option to move it to template.

Hi,

you should import client library plugin project from src/java/client into workspace.

GENERIC means built-in generic driver. Seems that drivers are not loaded at all. Try to add the following line to netxmsd.conf:

LibraryDirectory = C:\programs\NetXMS\NetXMS\lib

and restart server.

It should be able to use TNS names. Most likely it's client configuration or environment issue. Can you check what Oracle client is used by oracle.ddr?

Best regards,
Victor

Fixed that (fix will be included in 2.0-M1). Problem was that status poll always used OID ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0". I change it so status poll will use value of snmp.testoid attribute.

Victor

Hi,

try to use connect string in form //server_address/SID instead of TNS name.

Victor

Hi,

if you select switch node in object tree, on verview page you'll see selected driver for that node. You can also run configuration poll manually - one of the messages will identify selected driver.

Hallo,

benutzen Sie Agent oder Client? Für Client, gesetzt Sie richtige Benutzername und Passwort in Settings -> Connection.

Still seems that problem is with XMPP library. XMPP sender action waits on mutex to acquire XMPP handle. On what operating system your server is running? If it is Linux, can you attach gdb to server process after

*actions* Sending XMPP message to

line appears in log but before actual message is sent, and create dump of all threads using thread apply all bt command?

Best regards,
Victor

Thanks for update, I'll look more carefully into XMPP action then.

Hi,

there are no uniform way to monitor databases, as they all are quite different. Some common approaches (relevant for almost any application) includes monitoring presence of specific processes (using Process.Count parameter) and network port availability. For some databases (Oracle, Informix, DB/2) there are monitoring agents that can provide some additional performance and status data. You can also try DBQuery subagent which is capable of running specific queries in database and provide results (or errors if query execution failed).

Hi,

do you still have/remember source code of problematic script?

Best regards,
Victor

You can turn on "Exclude from topology" option for problematic interfaces - then NetXMS server will not create matching subnets.

Victor

So far looks like problem inside XMPP library we are using (libstrophe). I'll try to setup XMPP on my test system and reproduce this issue.

Best regards,
Victor
