RE: [nv-l] SmartSets in SNMPconf ?? [xnmsnmpconf]

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

Jeff,
Bad news here.
Specifically, we are talking about using xnmsnmpconf -export <myfile> on the original server.
Copying <myfile> to the new server.
Then executing xnmsnmpconf -import <myfile> on the new server.
This copies everything except smartset definitions.

I questioned this several years ago and was told by support that it is "working as designed".
They say they don't support exporting/importing smartset snmp definitions because you might not have the same smartsets defined on the new host and that would be a problem.

Therefore, we are stuck with manually recreating each and every snmpconf smartset definition on the new host
This could be very tedious if you have a lot of SNMP config options defined with smartsets.
Maybe it is time to revisit this issue with support.

I need to copy the SNMPconfg that has SMARTSETS defined, to a new
Netview host.

When I dump the snmpconf it does not contain the SMARTSET configs.

What is the best way to get the SNMPconf with the SMARTSET definition
copied to new host.

I have already copied the SMARTSETS to new host.

Thanks for any help.
