Danny,
with the ruleset editor, you can define some processing to be done upon
receipt of a given trap or event. I do this for node up/down/deleted (you
will find the Perl script below). Everyday, another Perl scripts reads the
log file generated and publishes an http page with some statistics. I also
process the 'deleted' event to stop counting down time without an 'up' event
in that case.
You can do somthing similar with the interfaces up/down.
the rulesets :
Event Stream (block) -> Trap Settings (58785795 / 58916864 / 8916865) ->
Action (call the script with 2 args : the nodename and the status)
the script:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
#
# PrintNodeUpDownLog.pl
# args :
# 1. node name
# 2. status of the node (UP / DOWN / DELETED)
#
$LogFile = 'NetViewNodesUpDown.log';
$LogPath = '/home/netadmin/log/';
$node = $ARGV[0];
$status = $ARGV[1];
$localtime = localtime();
$thismon = substr($localtime,4,3);
$thisday = substr($localtime,8,2);
$thistime = substr($localtime,11,8);
$thisyear = substr($localtime,20,4);
if (substr($thisday,0,1) eq ' ') { $thisday = '0' . substr($thisday,1,1) }
open (LOGFILE, ">> $LogPath$LogFile") or die ("Could not open $LogFile !");
print LOGFILE "$thisyear $thismon $thisday $thistime $node $status\n";
close LOGFILE;
exit 0;
As you can see the script is really trivial, but I hope it will help you,
