Im sorry, I did speak incorrectly.
What I ment to say was that if a Rule is met, and that event is configured
to display a popup, what is the proper way to configure the Maximum number
or popups allowed to be displayed?
The answer to my question, as you stated, is in Nvevents at
nvevents.maxDisplayMsgs : 100.
However, like you stated below:
"After you reach that maximum amount, and another one is ready to be issued,
you will get a different slightly different message in the popup which says
that you must dismiss some of those on your screen before more
can be shown."
Isnt this self-defeating? The goal of the Max value is to inhibit any
displays from being issued. When it reaches the Max, it then pops up with a
message telling you you have reached the max? How does this solve any
problems? The only situation I could see this effecting is one where an
operator lets popups sit forever. Then when the message comes that he has
reached his max, he starts closing them. Do you see where I am coming from?
What I would like todo is when the Max is reached, do not open any more
popups, maybe write something to a log file, or even an event to the events
display. Is this an option?
Thanks again,

Careful. You are talking apples and oranges here.
ovxecho and ovxbeep are independent little X-windows applets. They just
execute, period. If you call them directly, in a ruleset or from the
optional "Command for Automatic Action" for a trap (using xnmtrap), then
you are responsible for them. NetView does not track them. If you want
the nvevents GUI to track them, then you can configure the optional "Popup
Notification" in xnmtrap. That is what is controlled by
nvevents.maxDisplayMsgs . After you reach that maximum amount, and another
one is ready to be
issued, you will get a different slightly different message in the popup
which says that you must dismiss some of those on your screen before more
can be shown.
So those are those options. If you want to use ovxecho and ovxbeep then
you must control them yourself. If you want NetView to do it, then you
must have the Event Window up, or the popups will not be generated, and
then they can be controlled by the Nvevents app-defaults file.

Subject: [nv-l] ovxbeep and ovxecho
We had an obscure router failure yesterday. It caused our NMS to
continually open ovxbeep popups. We are going to fix the router problem,
but we would also like to be able to configure the number of popups.
Someone thought that there was a default parameter for the maximum number
of
popups that could be created, 50. I found the ovxbeep and ovxecho
defaults
file in /usr/OV/app-defaults/XNm, but there is no mention of popups.
Is anyone aware of this variable?
I did find in /usr/OV/app-defaults/Nvevents:
---
! defines maximum number of popup windows opened as result of optional cmd
for trap
!
nvevents.maxDisplayMsgs : 100
---
Is this what I am looking for?
Thanks,
