Re: [nv-l] Configuration of Event Threshold

I haven't seen this before but there is an easy way around it.  All NetView traps have the hostname of the monitored device as $2.  I would always use that rather than $A.

List, 
 
I have AIX5.1 with NV7.1.3, 
 
I'm using threshold checking to monitoring errors on an array of cisco routers. This works correctly and re-arms the monitor when the condition meets, however I seem to be having a slight problem with trap customisation (IBM_NVDCOL_EV). 
 
In the pop up notification I have the following 
 
$A $3 $4 $+1 which works correctly, ie $A displays the hostname of the device with the errors, a router. 
 
In command for automatic action I have the following 
 
/home/$path/script.sh $A $3 $4 $+1 
 
But the value in $A is the hostname of my Netview box and the not the monitored device. 
 
Any thoughts would be appreciated. 
 
Regards
Peter
