Installing NetXMS on Clear Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing NetXMS on Clear Linux Latest using the command line interface.

Step 1: Enable required bundles

Before installing NetXMS, we need to enable the required bundles for Java and PostgreSQL. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo swupd bundle-add java-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add postgresql-client

Step 2: Download NetXMS

Navigate to https://www.netxms.org/download in your web browser, and download the latest NetXMS Linux binary package. Alternatively, you can use the terminal to download the package by executing the following command:

wget https://netxms.org/download/releases/latest/netxms-3.10.185-linux-x64.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract NetXMS

Extract the downloaded NetXMS package using the following command:

tar -xzf netxms-3.10.185-linux-x64.tar.gz

Step 4: Install NetXMS

Move the extracted NetXMS folder to /opt directory by executing the following command:

sudo mv netxms-3.10.185-linux-x64 /opt/netxms

Step 5: Configure PostgreSQL

Create a new PostgreSQL database and user for NetXMS by executing the following commands:

sudo su - postgres
createdb netxmsdb
createuser -P netxms

You will be prompted to enter a password for the netxms user.

Step 6: Configure NetXMS

Navigate to the NetXMS installation directory:

cd /opt/netxms

Copy the sample configuration file and modify it:

cp etc/nmsd.conf.sample etc/nmsd.conf
sudo nano etc/nmsd.conf

In the configuration file, modify the following settings to match your PostgreSQL database configuration:

# database connection settings
DBType = PostgreSQL
DBHost = localhost
DBPort = 5432
DBName = netxmsdb
DBUser = netxms
DBPassword = password

Change the DBPassword field to the password you set before for the netxms user.

Step 7: Start NetXMS services

Start the NetXMS services by executing the following commands:

sudo systemctl start netxmsd.service
sudo systemctl start netxms-agentd.service

By default, NetXMS listens on port 4700. If you need to change this, modify the following setting in the configuration file:

# listen on specified port, default is 4700
ListenPort = 4700
