Chapter 7 of the NetView's Administrator's Guide is required reading. On
page 286 is an example of collecting MIB information..... including setting
a thresold.

If I may piggyback on this issue,
I am running Netview 6.01
on Aix 4.3 I too am interesting in generating a trap from a mib vairiable.
The mib is a cisco mib that monitor cpu activity on a router. My wish is
to create a threshold using this mib and when the threshold is met generate
a trap to the MLM wich then will forward the events to my Netview servers.
My experience is similar to the author of this note. Is there
documentation that explains step by step how to load and then get
trap-events for mibs that arent defined to your platform?
Warm Regards

First, loading the MIB does not add trap settings, period. Never has
in Netview . You can only add trap settings from a MIB by running
mib2trap on the MIB. This creates, in NT, a .bat file, (a script in
UNIX), which contains a series of addtrap commands built from the
TRAP-TYPE or NOTIFICATION-TYPE statements in the MIB. If the .bat
file is empty, then there were no such statements in the MIB, which
means that it does not define any traps. If you are in doubt about
that, then browse the MIB with Notepad or Wordpad an take a look. If
the .bat file is not empty, then you must execute that file to add the
traps. Adding the Enterprise Id manually is not necessary. Addtrap
will do that and add the specific traps as well.

Hello All,
I am having a little issue, i loaded the required mib in to Netview
6.02 on NT. I am able to use the MIB Browser and walk through the
tree succesfully. When i go into the view the trap settings there is
nothing visible under the Enterprise for this MIB, so i created a new
entry for the Enterprise. Still no traps are visible. I attempted to
use mib2trap with no success, any and all advice for be greatly
appreciated. Thanks..........
