[nv-l] False down event in trapd.log

[anand anupam <ananda@bharatpetroleum.com>]

Hello Everyone,

 

We are monitoring few critical servers (W2K/Unix) throgh NetView(6.0.2/AIX4.3.3). We have discovered them by putting into seed file.

 

We do snmp poll to these servers at 10m interval with 5 second imeout and 3 retries parameters.

 

Sometimes, we get follwing down event in trapd.log ;-

 

1067224466 3  Mon Oct 27 08:44:26 2003 SRSRO_COMPAQ2             N Interface net1 down.
1067224466 3  Mon Oct 27 08:44:26 2003 SRSRO_COMPAQ2             N Node Down.

 

Here SRSRO_COMPAQ2 is name of the W2K server.

 

But, administrators of these servers confirm that these servers were never down. Even in system/application logs of these servers, no event is logged showing it down or network issue.

 

Any suggestion on this false events in trapd.log please?

 

Regards,

Anupam Kr. Anand
