Well, this is really more of a policy and politics question than it is a
technical
one, so I wanted to know what real users were doing. We all tend to
recommend
what we know best, and I wanted to get past my own bias. These responses
have been helpful. Thank you all.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] SNMP traps from hosts: to Netview, or to T/EC?
Another consideration is performance, and the limited number of
traps/second
that
TEC can process. My two cents.
I'm curious if you've posed this question to TEC experts, and if so, what
the
responses were.

Subject: [NV-L] SNMP traps from hosts: to Netview, or to T/EC?
I'm soliciting opinions here. Say you are using Tivoli Distributed
Monitoring for your various hosts. And you are using Netview for your
network stuff. And you have some SNMP agents on many of your
hosts, and they send traps. Would you be more inclined to send
those traps to Netview for filtering and forwarding to T/EC, or would
you install the SNMP Adapter on the hosts and have them send
their traps to the T/EC?
My initial reaction of course is to send all SNMP traps to Netview,
rather than configure all the oids in the .cds and .oid files and manage
all of those SNMP adapters. But maybe that just shows my comfort
level with Netview. Any real-life experiences with one approach over
the other? Thanks..
