NetXMS is an open-source network and infrastructure monitoring and management solution, providing performance and availability monitoring with flexible event processing, alerting, reporting and graphing for all layers of IT infrastructure. It’s a solution for every type of device — it can monitor and manage your entire IT infrastructure — from network switches to apps — all in one place.
- Builds network topology and maps automatically
- Collects information via ARP caches, routing tables, LLDP, CDP, STP, switch forwarding databases
- Automatically updates peer information for all registered hosts and devices
- Provides searches for specific MAC or IP address and information about wireless access points and wireless clients
- Offers easy access to routing tables, MAC tables, and VLAN information
- Visualises IP routes
- Enables topology-based event correlations
- Supports all SNMP versions
- Has configurable routing change detection
- Provides a mechanism for handling vendor- or device-specific information and presenting it in a unified way
- Collects data via SSH
- Collects data via web services in XML, JSON and plain text format.
- Choose between the desktop or web-based version, or use both simultaneously
- Desktop version available for Windows, Max OS X, and Linux
- Offers graphical network maps and user-configurable dashboards
- Can be integrated with Grafana
- Provides agents for all popular platforms and operating systems — centralises configuration and upgrades, uses the minimum system resources, acts as proxy for other agents and SNMP devices if necessary, communicates in a firewall-friendly way, offers local cache for unstable connections
- Monitors log file contents
- Wide range of metrics out of the box:
- network and I/O performance;
- process, CPU, and memory consumption;
- network services;
- hardware sensors;
- application-level metrics for various applications;
- and many others
- File transfer capabilities built into the NetXMS agent
- Can be utilised for user support — a low-footprint application that presents users with preconfigured actions and basic information for helpdesk, configurable actions via NetXMS policies, screenshots and screencast
- Divides networks into zones with overlapping subnets and proxy agents for logical grouping or distributing data collection load
- Ensures automatic load balancing and failover with multiple proxy agents for each zone
- Continues to collect data in autonomous mode when the central management server is not available
- Receives syslog messages and SNMP traps from monitored devices to forward them to the central management server or local storage if the connection is down
- Eliminates the need to connect directly to each device in remote locations — a single TCP port open in either direction is enough for server-to-proxy-agent communication
- Allows for advanced automation and management
- “Hook” scripts can be called from many places within the system for custom processing
- Can be used for data transformation, complex thresholds, complex event processing rules, SNMP trap transformation, and many other purposes
- Uses easy-to-earn non-strict typed interpreted language
- Optimised for speed and low memory footprint so that a server can run hundreds of scripts simultaneously
- Each script runs inside its own VM with no access to anything outside the server process other than through well-defined APIs
- Additional security mechanisms are available to prevent unauthorised data access via scripts
- Full Java API allows users to do everything that can be done from UI
- Permits partial or complete replacement of UI
- Rest API provides access to collected data and NetXMS configuration
- Has modular agents and servers so that their functionality can be extended by writing additional modules (plugins)
- Python-based scripting language provides access to full Java API
- Built-in integration with helpdesk systems
- Offers an internal user database or integration with an external directory using LDAP (both can be used simultaneously)
- Supports authentication with passwords, X.509 certificates, smart cards, RADIUS or LDAP server
- Uses two-factor authentication with TOTP or one-time codes sent via SMS or instant message
- Encrypts all communications
- Enables fine-grained access control configuration
- Offers an extensive audit log with optional sending to an external system
- Offers flexible policy-based event processing
- Enables alarm creation and termination, internal script execution, command execution on a management server or on a remote host via a NetXMS agent and other configurable commands
- Supports notifications via email, MS Teams, Telegram, Slack, SMS via GSM modem or SMS gateway
- Offers support for problem escalation
- Has a flexible threshold system for data collection
- Configurable with templates for simplified management of large networks
- Translates metrics collected by NetXMS to business language.
- View vital SLA information at a glance.
- The status of the service is determined based on the status of monitored objects (servers, network devices, etc.) or metric thresholds.
- Calculate business service availability for the arbitrary time range.
- View detailed information about business service downtime, including start time, end time and cause.
Full installation information is available there.
We host public APT repository http://packages.netxms.org/ for all deb-based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian, etc.). Packages are signed, and you’ll need to install additional encryption key for signature verification.
- Download and install netxms-release-latest.deb package, which contain source list file of the repository as well as signing key:
wget http://packages.netxms.org/netxms-release-latest.deb
sudo dpkg -i netxms-release-latest.deb
sudo apt-get update
- Then you can install the required components, e.g. to install NetXMS server for use with PostgreSQL:
sudo apt-get install netxms-server netxms-dbdrv-pgsql
-
Amend database connection details in server configuration file (/etc/netxmsd.conf).
-
Initialize database schema.
nxdbmgr init
- Start the NetXMS server
sudo systemctl start netxmsd
Installers for other platforms (Windows, Aix, Solaris...) are available on netxms.org.
