I am using NV 5.1.3 on AIX. I need to be able to change the status of
an object to reflect the status of an application running on a Unisys
Mainframe. The SNMP agent in the Unisys has a MIB variable I can poll,
but I have been unable to make the 58916871 trap alter the color of the
icon. As I read further in the Admin manual, the object status does
not actually change in the database if I do get the trap to work so
this may not solve my problem. I must forward the status change to
NetView/390, which I believe will require the status to change in the
NV/AIX db.
First, I have been able to configure snmptrap to create an event, but
not change the color of the icon. This is something I would like to
figure out, although it may be academic. I'm using a script that James
wrote up in this forum a while back for using trap 58916871.
How can I actually change the status of an manually created object in
the database? Is anyone monitoring a MIB variable to change the status
of a manually created icon? I created a software icon to represent my
mainframe application. There were a few archive items that talked
about doing this, but the item was not complete enough for me to
reproduce the task.
