If you want to "plug into" the event-stream, there should be an example
program in the example directory called "rectrap" (i.e. receive-trap).
Its actually quite handy for trouble-shooting.
C-source and exe code provided.

Subject: [NV-L] New to NetView Questions: Trap Flow and Relationship
(SNMP )
To All,
The diagram on p. 18 of "Tivoli NetView for UNIX Administrator's Guide" the
diagram depicts the trap/event flow. It illustrates that traps go from the
trapd to trapd.log, applications, nvcorrd and the pmd. The discussion does
not explicitly say whether it goes to all for directions for each trap
received. I'm assuming that all events will be logged if logging is turned
on and properly configured.
How do "applications" get configured to receive all traps coming from trapd?
What are some examples of applications that can do this?
Does nvcorrd and pmd receive each of the events?
According to the discussion on pmd the pmd process retrieves routing
information from the ORS database to send the trap to a registered
application. The nvcorrd receives events from the trapd and correlates them
with event processing decision and actions defined in the rulset forwards
them to registered applications.
Shouldn't there be a relationship between the nvcorrd/actionsver and the
pmd/ORS to know what applications are registered?
