Hi everybody,


I have a little problem which I have not been able to find the answer to in
any
of the forums or in documentation. I was wondering if I'm missing something:

I am trying to Monitor a groups of nodes for various threshold conditions
(usual stuff):

Filesystems being above a set %
Daemons running
Paging Space
etc.

I am using Netview5 on AIX 421 , with One MLM (v5.0.1) With SIA 2.3.1.0 +
PTF
on a project which currently involves about 16 AIX servers (eventually about
300 servers will be monitored with a number of MLM's).

I have set all the boxes up and confirmed that community name , SIA, MLM
polling etc is all working OK. (tested using snmpwalk, MIB Browser etc.)

I have been monitoring filesystems on one  box quite successfully.  I
decided
to set up a collection and monitor that collection.

I receive no alerts even when I tripped the thresholds I set.   I checked on
the MLM in the "MLM Threshold and Collections table " and all seems well.

But when I check the "MLM Threshold Results Table" all the Nodes have the
same
Figures.

Forexample .... if I monitor the percentage of space free in filesystem /var
on
all the Nodes . . .

The value is 20% full for every node . . . . when I check each node they all
have a variety of Values (but normally only one matches the value reported)

Is it possible that even though I am monitoring a number of servers . . .
only
one value is being reported ?

Originally I tried to configure this through APM on Netview, but I have also
tried to directly configure the MLM and I still get the same results.

I have a similar environment using Netview4 and MLM 2 and all this works
fine.

Has anybody come across this before? or am I the lucky one !!!?

Cheers
