Leslie,
Thanks for your reply. From your response it doesn't sound like I phrased
my question exactly as I meant it, but good news, you answered it exactly.
I am looking to suppress events from being, at minimum, displayed in the
event window. Don't know how I missed it, but the Admin guide has a tiny
section describing the functionality "Suppressing Events from Unmanaged
Nodes".
Thanks again,
Jason

What you want is exactly what Netview does by default. If you are
seeing something different, that could only be because you have
more than one map. Manage/Unmanage is on a per-map basis,
while status polling is on a per-object (interface or node) basis.
So if one operator has a node managed and another has it un-
managed, netmon needs to poll it so the managed one gets
status. That will generate up/down events - to everyone, by default.
There is an option on the events display to Suppress Traps from
Umanaged Nodes, but I'm pretty sure that is for unsolicited traps,
not Netview events. For Netview events, the operator would have
to change the filter every time he unmanaged something, and
change it back when he managed it. Or... coordinate the unmanaging
among operators. If a node is unmanaged in all maps, there are
no events by definition.
Maybe a better approach is Acknowledge. At current code levels,
if one operator acknowledges the interface, it is acknowledged on
all maps. When it comes back up, it will return to normal green
automatically. Read about this in the 6.0.2 release notes, as you
must set a global variable.
Cordially,

Subject: [NV-L] [NV] TME10 - unmanaged and filtering
List:
Looking for some clarification that I must be missing reading the docs:
1. Does Netview report/display events for unmanaged nodes and interfaces
(I
am getting conflicting reports from the NOC, looking for clarification)?
{If yes}
2. What is the best approach to filter events going to the event window
for
unmanaged entities?
- My hope was to dynamically filter events whenever an operator un-manages
a host, and then re-enable displaying of the events when the action to
manage that entity is taken.
Thanks for your time,
Jason
