[nv-l] FW: [NV] NetView:How can one extract private.enterprises from a t rap

["Mahon, Ray" <Ray.Mahon@itsis.ie>]

Hi ,

We have just recently installed an environment monitoring system(RIT Patchview).  All alerts raised are via SNMP, hence Netview receiving them.  The problem

I'm having is that all of there traps are coming in with the same event info, i.e. "Event name, Generic Trap no., Specific Trap no." and can not be changed?  The only info that does change depending on the problem is the return value of the integer, hostname and private.enterprise.

Event:
                ritAuxIndicatorTable = Event Name
                                               6 = Generic trap number
                                         50 = Specific trap number

Sample Traps:
                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.6 (Integer): 2

                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.6 (Integer): 1

                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.8 (Integer): 2

                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.7 (Integer): 2

                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.9 (Integer): 2

                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.10 (Integer): 2

                ns_master_ems             A ritAuxIndicatorTable 6 50 1 args:  [1] private.enterprises.663.1.2.4.2.1.3.1.11 (Integer): 2

TRAP Variables:
The following environment variables are allow: NVE, NVA, NVG, NVS, NVT, NVC, NVATTR_1-50
NVE - only gives the trap enterprise 1.3.6.1.4.1.663.1.2.4.2.  None of the above will give the private.enterprise number, unless I missed one.  

When one configures/creates an event you can specific "$*" to display all event information, which includes private.enterprise.

The process I was looking for was looking take was as follows:

• Receive event.
• Rule will forward all trap details to a scripts.
• This script will evaluate the private.enterprise number.
• Generate another more meaningful trap.
• Rule to forward trap to TEC.

        IF Not, I'll set-up an ACP over trapd.log.

Anybody any ideas?
