Hi, Dave,

     Enterprise 1783 goes into Enterprise Specific MIB and the mib file
should be provided by
     the vendor...

     Are you receiving traps from the product? If you do receive them with
the specific trap IDs but
     with "Unknown Format" in the message area, there is a way that you
could work around without
     having vendor's mib file (shall contain trap description block
"TRAP-TYPE"):

     In the trap configuration panel, in the command to execute field, use
"$@" to reference all
     variables passed by the specific trap and start to process them.

     The following is the sample script I wrote a year ago for certain
situation. Please pay attention
     to the for loop. (for i in $@).

     Hope this help.

     (See attached file: Storage_.s)

Subject:  Active Works MIB info




We are looking at using Active Works products at our shop and wish to use
NetView to monitor it. Active Software either can't or won't supply details
for the "ACTIVESW-BROKER-MIB" information. I do know that we need to import
RFC1155-SMI and RFC1213-MIB. The actual activesw MODULE uses the ::= {
enterprises 1783 } (I believe  this rfc is generic)
                        broker    OBJECT IDENTFIER ::= { activesw 1 }
                                    trap       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
broker 1 }

                  message OBJECT-TYPE
                SYNTAX  DisplayString
                ACCESS          read-only
                STATUS  mandatory
                DESCRIPTION     "Message describing alert or warning
condition"

I need to know what messages are alerted through snmp for Active Works?
I have looked at http://www.funet.fi/pub/netinfo/rfc/ and there are no
specifics to Active Software or brokers.

Admittedly, I new at MIBs and SNMP. I could use some help from anyone using
NetView and Active Works. THANK YOU in advance.
