NetView v7.1.4 /
Solaris 2.8
Greetings. There is
a new enhancement / replacement for nvsniffer that I am having trouble
getting to work. The concept is to detect whether a particular TCP port is
accepting connections and report an event if it is not. It looks to me like
servmon will now do this. nvsniffer as I recall will discover but not
monitor port level applications.
The problem is
this:
The servmon
configuration requires that you specify what port the application runs on and
what smartset contains the nodes that are considered "targets" for the servmon
application.
I have a smartset
created that has 3 Unix servers.
Each of the Unix
servers has multiple instances of the software running on multiple different
ports.
Each of the Unix
servers is multi-homed (4 physical and 12 virtual
addresses).
Each instance of the
software is tied to a virtual address.
Each instance of the
software uses one or more ports.
In my configuraiton,
I specify I am interested on port 26001 (for instance).
Since the boxes are
multi-homed, I don't think servmon can tell which interface/IP address to probe
for port 26001 activitiy
The creation of the
smarset means that the nodes listed are the right boxes, but not the right
interfaces for activity on those ports.
SO my question is -
is servmon smart enough to figure out the traffic is NOT on the interface that
is resolved in DNS and thus located in my smartset? Since servmon actually adds
a field in ovwdb (field name drivin by servmon.conf) I cannot specify an
interface in the servmon config or the smartset - only a node name since it
doesn't appear to add a field to an interface object, only to a node
object.
