Re: [nv-l] Configuration of Event Threshold

[Kevin C Li <kevinli@us.ibm.com>]

I've seen this kind of problem at least a couple of times.  One time when I
saw this I traced it to a name resolution problem.  I don't remember the
exact details anymore, but the situation was something like this: NetView
had the hostname of the agent in its database, but the DNS server was down
and NetView couldn't resolve it back to an IP address.  As a result,
NetView substituted its own hostname/IP in the agent address field.  This
was with NetView 5.x on AIX.

There has been one other time when I've seen this but wasn't able to find a
cause.

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
