Ray,
I think you have two choices. Either you can put the logic/process in
NetView or you can put it in TEC. I will give you a potential NetView
answer. You really have multiple collections of nodes to care about
1 - Cisco (networking)
2 - Servers (microsoft, SUN ...)
3 - non-SNMP
Setup work:
- add 3 customized trap definitons for Node Down for the 3 different node
collections, don't forget to add 3 new TEC classes in your trap
definitions.
- add to the TEC Baroc the definitions for the 3 new TEC classes.
You already have collections for those three types in NetView. From your
ruleset instead of forwarding traps of "Node Down". call an action to
generate a new trap based on collection membership. "Node Down" now
becomes "NT Node Down" or "Cisco Node Down" ....... Now update your
ruleset to forward to TEC the 3 new traps you have defined. Update your
TEC rules to handle the new classes if you need to.
-- the above logic can be expanded to break up your traps into whatever
support groups you have
Kind regards,
