Hello people,
Customer is running Netview v5.1.2 on AIX 4.3. Auto discovery switched
on. They control discovery with the !@oid 0 and have a number of specific
entries to ensure that routers are discovered with their loopback interfaces.
My understanding is that !@oid 0 would create a hint in the database for every
non-snmp device. Netmon should only poll the devices that are discovered and
managed and not the hints. The following are the values from ovtopodump -rl
and ovobjprint -S:
Ovtopodump -rl
NUMBER OF NETWORKS: 3422
NUMBER OF SEGMENTS: 3414
NUMBER OF NODES: 3496
NUMBER OF INTERFACES: 8611
NUMBER OF GATEWAYS: 665
Ovobjprint -S
Number of objects defined in the database: 63316
When I run an xnmsnmpconf -dumpCache and count the lines there
are 73569 lines. Is it normal for Netview to put all devices in the object
database into the snmpconf cache or should it only put the devices that should
be polled for status? The problem is that when they make changes to snmp configurations
it is taking very long for netmon to start demand poll and status checking(sometimes
upto 6 hours) - is this normal? If the hints are suppose to be in the
xnmsnmpconf cache, what is the reason for this ?
Any assistance with these questions is greatly appreciated
Regards
Pritesh
