Hello List,
I am wondering, isn't every trap supposed to be able to change the status
of an object ?
according to trapd.conf man page:
status A single character indicating the status that is to be assigned
to an object when it generates the defined trap:
0 Defaults
1 Unknown
2 Up
3 Marginal
4 Down
5 Unmanaged
6 Acknowledge
7 User1
8 User2
So if I create a new trap in trapd.conf with a "status" value of 8, it
should change the status of an object to "User2" right ?
I tested it and only one of the interface of the object change to User2.
How are we supposed to use that ?
One of my goal would be to use "Temperature alerts" or "Fan Down alerts" to
change routers to "User2" so that operators will notice there is something
wrong even if they don't notice the alert among the "thousands" that scroll
by on the even window.
Leslie, I would like to see this "authoritative document on this subject",
can you please send it to me ?

Use the Status Trap:
/usr/OV/bin/snmptrap \
$NVSERVER .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1 \
$HOSTNAME 6 58916871 1 \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 Integer 14 \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 OctetString $SELECTION_NAME \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 OctetString "Object status is" \
.1.2.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 OctetString $STATUS
where $HOSTNAME is the sender, $SELECTION_NAME is the object to change
and $STATUS is Up, Down, etc.
I'll send you James' log, authoritative document on this subject, since=
you are going to need it eventually and it has been posted many times
in the past.
