Jane,
I've not been following this thread, but just picked up on the netmon -a
12 bit....this was my 1st "crossover" command & after that I realised
the world is "shifted" on the NT side of NV..
On NT you can do the same thing (saying this without an Unix
comparision) by using netmonaction 11 or netmonaction 12. I didn't
spirit these from the ether (although I'd so love to claim I "just knew"
;-) ), they were on the mailing list archive.
Btw. On the snmpodump & epoch thing, I did this today which worked ok -
it's a slice of some thing that feeds an RRD database hence the epoch
times. This is using the output from snmpodump -p -T.
use Time::Local;
# BandwidthUtilHdx 1 10.x.x.254 09-12-2002.09:42:49
61 0.160
($probe, $probe_arg, $node, $endtime, $period, $value) = split(/\s/);
# Change the time to an epoch offset which is used by reporting
($dt, $tm) = split(/\./, $endtime);
($mon,$mday,$year) = split(/\-/,$dt);
$mon--; # $mon is a 0 based array i.e. 0..11 - I'm not telling you how
many times this got me ...grrrr ;)
($hours, $min, $sec) = split(/\:/, $tm);
$epoch_time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
Sorry - I'm nv 7.1.2 & w2k sp2 just in case.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] Netview on Windows
Hi Ben,
I would add my weight behind James and Scott. At a marketing level, the
products are very similar but the devil really is in the detail. I
have
recently been working in a multi-NetView environment with a top-level
NetView on AIX and distributed NetView on NT and the differences have
been leaping out!
Little things really annoy me like you don't seem to be able to modify a
SmartSet - you have to delete it and recreate it. There's no GUI rule
builder and though the marketing says you can create rules on Unix and
import to NT, they don't support the "Action" block on NT, which is
about the most important element of most of my rules. Managing the
databases is far less transparent to me on NT as they are in Access or
MS SQL not Operating System files, so all my standard little scripts
from Unix to archive databases, don't work. SNMP collected data you
cannot dump in the same format as Unix - snmpodump (rather than
snmpColDump) won't produce data records with time since the epoch. If
you have scripts to do things with NetView, many of the commands are
subtly changed - like
snmpodump.... The documentation is not nearly as thorough on the NT
platform - I feel there are areas where the products differ but no-one
quite got around to detailing exactly how the changed bits work on
NT.... If you also have TEC, the Unix NetView integration is MUCH
easier, and in the scenario I have recently been working, the
reliability of the trap forwarding system on NT hasn't been too good -
trapfrwd just seems to quietly die off (that may be our setup, so take
this one with a pinch of salt).
And horrors! The netmon -a commands are not supported so I can't find
out what is on netmon's ping list or snmp-poll list.
Maybe I am just biased having worked with the Unix version for so long,
but I would still advocate NetView on Unix unless an environment has NO
Unix skills.
Cheers,
Jane
