By default things are discovered as managed, except for networks beyond your
first router. If the addresses/hostnames you put in the seedfile are being
discovered unmanaged, are you sure you haven't turned this off? Look at your
SNMP Configuration (xnmsnmpconf from the command line or use Options --> SNMP
Comfiguration from the GUI) and look at the little boxes at the very bottom. Is
the one which says "Discover Node(s) Managed" checked?
As for IP addresses in traps rather than hostnames, that means you have a name
resolution problem, specifically with reverse lookup (IP Address to hostname).
You need to get your DNS working or put these things in an /etc/hosts file and
have that searched first. The way you do that is operating system dependent.
On AIX for example, you can change the order in the file /etc/netsvc.conf
(create it, if it doesn't exist):
hosts = local, bind

Subject: [NV-L] Re: NV V5V1 Problem with map and nvevents
I installed this version with a seed file using the ip - hostname format.
I can't seem to get the map objects to become managed.
I also can't get nvevents to report any events in the format that I want
Ie: hostname instead of ip address.
we us dns here.
can anyone point me in ther right direction?
thanks,
Bob M.
