Hi,

I may be wrong to put my query, I will put it again.
The Reliability is 100 % if the counter value is 255, If it gets degraded it
goes below 255. While if I had to set the threshold I have option only
setting > (greater than), and not < (less than). 
I guess I need to set the Absolute value check to < 200, to trigger
threshold action. and rearm value to Absolute <= 225
As I had set the threshold > 85 % as I mentioned it will trigger mail for
all healthy links as they are greater than 85% at the time of data
collection.

Can U advice how can I achieve this.

Regards,
Santosh

Wouldn't it be easier (or perhaps more logical) to fix the reliability
problem with the circuit? Sounds like the threshold works great!

Pardon me, but It sounds as if NetView is doing exactly what you told it to
do. You are the one who decided how to do this, were you not?  It was your
decision to set the thresholds where they are and your decision to send
e-mail every time the threshold was exceeded.   It sounds like you are now
saying, "Well, perhaps I shouldn't have made the e-mail decisions because
this thing is broken too often."   If you don't like the result, then it is
up to you to design a better way to handle it.

You could send the e-mail, not right from the trap, but from an Action node
in  ruleset which uses a Threshold to control how often the e-mail is sent.
This is a common use for a ruleset.  If you just use  Event Stream(block)
--> Trap Settings  --> Threshold --> Action (e-mail script)   then you can
run this out of ESE.automation withoiut a problem.

Or you could adjust the threshold levels, raising the arm level and
lowering the disarm level so that it doesn't fire so often, so that your
e-mails are only sent when it has really recovered and then gone critical
again.  The data you collect via snmpCollect is unaffected and will still
be stored regardless of where you sent the monitoring threshold.  So  you
could stop sending e-mail altogether and just start saving the data for
analysis when someone is ready to look at it.

Hi,

I need to set this reliability threshold as there is a desperate
requirement to monitor the reliability of the link. Can U please reply for
this ASAP.

   Hi,

   I have NV6.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3

   I had enabled data collection with threshold check exceeding 85 % with
   Rearm of 50% for ifReliability, configured a trap to generate Mail in
   case of threshold reached.

   It is observed that very large No. of mails are generated for this
   collection.

   How can I restrict the same or use the ruleset to put threshold on the #
   of mails.

   Regards,
   Santosh
