Re: help with simple ruleset

Matt -

The ruleset looks fine.  You should be using an action and not an inline
action.
 For action issues, look in /usr/OV/log/nvaction.alog and .blog for error
messages.
If you have a test set up, you can also turn on nvcdebug -d all and then
look at the nvcorrd.alog and blog and see what happens when your rules
runs, although you may find it difficult to interpret the logs as there
will be lots of info there.

 How are you testing this?  Do you put it in ESE.automation or create a
workspace in the events window?
 If it is in ESE.automation, you have stop and restart actionsvr to get him
to load a new copy when you change it.
 If in events, you will always have a blank window since you do not forward
anything to it.

Hi all,
I am experimenting with rulesets and am having a few problems. Basically, I
want Netview to send an email when a node down event is received for a
particular node and NO node up event for that node is received within a
designated period of time..So I'll get an email if a node has been down for
more than x minutes...
I have my ruleset defined as follows...

EVENT STREAM = BLOCK
EVENT 1 = Node Down event (as Input 1)
EVENT 2 = Node Up event (as Input 2)

RESET ON MATCH
    Event 1 Attribute 2 EQUAL TO Event 2 Attribute 2
        - this would compare the name of the nodes generating the events
        - time threshold is currently set to 3 mintues for testing....
outputted to
ACTION
    a perl script that sends an email...

Does anyone see any obvious errors with this? Shoud I be using an Inline
Action instead of Action?
Any help would be appreciated,
