When an action is triggered in a Netview rule there are environment variables
$NVATTR_1 to $NV_ATTR50
available to be passed the the shell script called in the Action Node.
For traps generated by Netview this is simple as the trap text is contained in
NVATTR_3 so I have no problems handling them.
My problem is when handling traps from other sources (for example Cisco
switches etc) as these have a variable
number of parameters passed with the trap but I cannot find any way of working
out how many. If I pass NVATTR_1 through to NVATTR-50 to my script I have no
way of knowing which a re valid. Is there any way to pass only those
trap parameters that are valid to my script?
Cheers - Gavin
