In this article we’ll give a quick overview of the new map-related functionality in NetXMS version 5 — new major release. So, let’s go.

So we keep telling about the improvemets in NetXMS since the latest major release. We already touched upon huge improvements in maps and topology-related functionality in our previous articles. Now, let’s see what’s new in the user interface (UI) of NetXMS.

In a world where 85% of ATMs are vulnerable to attacks, banks can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to the glaring security gaps in their ATM networks. The consequences of inaction are dire: from the theft of sensitive customer data to costly downtime and fraud losses, the risks are simply too high to ignore.

We talked to CURRENTA — the operator of one of the largest chemical sites in the world. With sites located in Leverkusen, Dormagen, and Krefeld-Uerdingen, Germany, the company has been using NetXMS for monitoring its OT infrastructure since 2014.

In this article the company’s infrastructure monitoring experts Oscar Swoboda and Peter Altes share their monitoring practices and what’s the most important for them in the software that they use.

Riga, August 2024: Raden Solutions, the developer and vendor of the specialised network and device monitoring solutions under the brand NetXMS, announced its expanded presence in the Ethiopian market.

NetXMS is a robust, open-source network management and monitoring system that delivers comprehensive functionality and granular performance data. One of the system's standout features is its ability to collect and handle data through table metrics. How do they work, and how to use them exactly?

Alex M. has been a user of NetXMS since 2017 and an active participant in the NetXMS community. He kindly agreed to an interview, talking about his job, his journey in using monitoring tools, and what ideally, he still wishes for in his monitoring and management system.

Network management is ever-critical for ensuring business continuity and performance. Most of the companies can allow literally zero network downtime, so system administrators are expected to ensure the seamless operation of the network — timely identification and troubleshooting of network issues, and efficient resource allocation.

One crucial component of such responsibility is understanding and interpreting network analytics to gain meaningful insights for improved decision-making. This article explores the nuances of network analytics, its impact on network management, and how to leverage data for actionable insights.

The NetXMS platform recently introduced an extremely handy new feature: context dashboards. These dynamic dashboards provide a flexible way to display data relevant to a specific context, making it easier to monitor and manage network devices. In this article, we'll discuss how context dashboards work in the NetXMS monitoring system and demonstrate their usefulness.

SSK is an agricultural co-operative in South Africa. Since 1931, the company has been helping farmers across the region in every aspect: from marketing and delivery to equipment maintenance and veterinary services. The company has been using NetXMS for 6 years. At the moment, with NetXMS the company monitors its whole network infrastructure with hundreds of devices — not only servers, routers and other network devices, workstations, printers, and copy machines, but also refrigerators where veterinary medicine is stored.

For companies whose network and IT infrastructure health is a part of the promise to their customers, network monitoring becomes one of the most critical functions. These are such companies as Telecoms, internet service providers (ISPs), and managed service providers (MSPs). Let’s see how NetXMS can help them offer a higher-value service to their clients.

Thousands of ATMs around the world are monitored with the help of NetXMS ATM monitoring. This is a flexible solution that is secure, gives you maximum visibility of your data, can remotely execute different management functions, can be integrated with your company’s ticketing system, and has many other smart features. Let’s look into them.

About twenty years ago, when we were just starting out with our NetXMS project, the commonly held view was that only non-technical users needed GUIs (graphical user interfaces). Technical users like network administrators were perfectly content with using text-based interfaces for searching, uploading and modifying data. We know that some IT professionals still prefer to use the command line — however, we are enthusiastic about graphical interfaces for technical users.

Logs are files that contain a record of events that occurred in the application. They are generated by the system to help you ensure that the applications running on your servers meet their availability and performance expectations. How can NetXMS help you monitor your logs and put them to good use?

With one of the biggest feature sets of all the NMS solutions out there, NetXMS offers an excellent organic workflow, which is, in addition to other things, aimed at improving your productivity. One area where NetXMS significantly saves your organisation’s time and resources is remote management of the monitored device itself and the files stored on it.

Among other things, the NetXMS network monitoring and management system is intended to save resources. That’s why adding the MQTT protocol (a machine-to-machine protocol most commonly used for the Internet of Things (IoT)) to the array of the protocols NetXMS works with was a natural decision.

If you work with ISP systems or data network infrastructures, you are most probably familiar with MikroTik devices. It perhaps is worth mentioning that this worldwide-known company was also founded and still operates from Latvia — just like our company Raden Solutions, the developer of NetXMS. The fact that such a small European country is full of IT talent fills us with joy!

The latest major NetXMS release has finally arrived. Not only does it bring numerous improvements to your monitoring solution but there’s also a completely reworked Business Services tool with vast new functionality.

To increase yields and adapt to the changing climate, agricultural companies need to be tech-savvy. The equipment they employ needs to be constantly monitored to ensure steady performance, yet their equipment networks are usually both diverse and dispersed. NetXMS is uniquely fitted to meet the needs of businesses working in agriculture.

More efficient monitoring of diverse and scattered networks, effective security and improved data management with the customer — this is how NetXMS can help Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer a higher-value service to their clients.

Many hardware vendors are looking for an EMS (Element Management System) solution. An EMS solution helps sell additional services to customers and provides extra value for existing hardware offers.

One of our customers, a global company with offices around the world, was looking for a solution capable of collecting, monitoring and exporting data from more than 12,000 network devices. We used two features of NetXMS, plus a specialized database, to meet this challenge.

Auditing a production site typically begins with drawing a complete map of all the equipment in place. Yet this isn’t as easy as it may sound. Production lines tend to be long, complex and have protracted life spans with several rounds of repairs and improvements. So it’s not unusual for no-one on site to have a complete up-to-date list of all the sensors, controllers, robots and other parts of the system.

How do you monitor equipment units vastly distributed across large areas when network connection is notoriously unstable? The issue is more than common for companies operating in mining, oil, agriculture, shipping and other industries in remote areas with poor internet coverage. Raden Solutions’ NetXMS solves this challenge with proxy agents and a zoning feature.
