First you should be sure you can successfully change the symbol to
one of those delivered with Netview. You did not mention the oid_to_sym
file in /usr/OV/conf/C, so I will start there, just in case. The oid_to_sym
will match the oid with a symbol class and a symbol type. These are
defined in files in /usr/OV/symbols/C. The definitions in these files
reference
bitmaps in /usr/OV/bitmaps/C, as well as fields (optionally) in
/usr/OV/fields/C. After making a change to oid_to_sym I usually find it
best to stop netmon, delete the node, ovtopofix -a, stop all daemons,
start all daemons, and rediscover the node.
If you have made additions to the symbols and bitmaps directories, you
should run ovw -config (or ovw -verify, I get them mixed up).
Now if you use the same method to use a symbol of your own creation
and it does not work, well, you are beyond me. Maybe someone else
can help. But I wanted to make sure you had covered the fundamentals.
Cordially,
