Well, you know Tivoli, they don't ever announce anything until it is
available. But the statement of direction has always been close
alignment of the unix and NT platforms, and it is a noticable difference.
I am not privy to development plans.
I would not wait, though. It is simple enough to set up your own monitoring
script and then generate events. If you wanted to get fancy you could
add symbols down where the interface card are, and issue status traps
from the script. But if you are event-driven, the events might be enough.
Sending the status trap looks like this:
usr/OV/bin/snmptrap \
$HOSTNAME .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1 \
$HOSTNAME 6 58916871 1 \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 Integer 14 \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 OctetString $SELECTION_NAME \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 OctetString "Object status is" \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 OctetString $STATUS
where $HOSTNAME is the sender, $SELECTION_NAME is whose status to change
and $STATUS is Up, Down, etc.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Monitoring TCP connectivity
Thanks Leslie!
that is what I was looking for.
Do you know, if we will see a nvsniffer for AIX, which does the status
checking, as the NT one does?
Best regards
Frank

See the man page for the netcheck command. That might do it for you, in
a script. Like:
=============================
#!/bin/ksh
# Http servers
#set -x
HTTPSERVERS = `nvUtil l HTTPServers`
for i in $HTTPSERVERS;
do
OUT=`/usr/OV/bin/netcheck -o tcpPort=80 -t tcp $i | grep OK | wc -l`;
if [ $OUT -eq "0" ] ; then
echo "Send some event for down HTTP service on $i "
fi ;
done
exit
===============================
Assuming you used nvsniffer to set up the Smartsets of http servers.
Check that /usr/OV/conf/nvdbtools/nvsniffer.conf is checking the ports you
want,
and then check those same ports with the netcheck command.
Of course on Netview for NT, nvsniffer already handles ongoing status.
