(1) If your script runs in an action block rather than an in-line action blokc,
then it will have little effect on NetView performance. Actions are run by
actionsvr and he spawns a new child for each of them, so they run in parallel if
need be. But you will have to decide, probably by testing it, whether this
results in too many actionsvr processes running on your box. If you run in n
in-line action, that is a completely other matter, and car should be taken in
using an in-line action. To make nvcorrd wait for an external process such as
an SNMP response can have serious impact if it happens frequently. But again,
your only option is to try it and see what happens.
(2) There is no such log of correlated events. If you wish you can turn on
tracing with nvcdebug -d events (see the man page for your options) and see if
the data you get in the nvcorrd.alog and .blog will serve that purpose.

Subject: [NV-L] (NV5.1) - Netview Questions
Hello,
We are creating a Ruleset to monitor some cisco routers (interface down,
node down, network utilization and cpu) .
We defined thresholds for MIB data (cpu) and expression (network
utilization) to send event IBM_NVDCOL_EV using data collection and
trhesholds tools.
When this event is received, one of data that is passed with event is the
Description of the event.
It's works fine, but i would like to receive the instance value instead MIB
instance.
For example: In this case below , i don't interested in the instance 7 but
yes in the instace value like serialx/x/x.

This problem can be solved using a script in action block, but I dont't
know if this is good idea, because we have a lot of interfaces.
Another question:
The events and SNMP traps forward by the rulsets are logged in any log file
while it is active or just trapd.log logged all of events and traps.
Thanks in Advance!
