Its funny you wrote this... I
am not sure about #1 but I just spoke to a Tivoli support (5 mins ago)
about #2 and he told me that the grapher will only display data that has no
breaks in the data collection and that this is by design. I have the same
environment as your customer. I am looking for an alternative to graph
data for myself. If anyone out there as an alternative please
post.
Thanks.

Subject: [nv-l] snmpcollect
problems |
Hi
List,
I have a customer who is managing about 50 Cisco
routers. The one router is a Cisco 3600 series router and the rest of the
routers are all small routers with +-4 interfaces. They are running Netview
V7.1.3+FP1 on Windows 2000 Server. The server is a 2 way processor machine
with 2 GIGs of RAM. I have set the box up to collect bandwidth
utilization(BandwidthUtilHdx) on all routers serial interfaces and avgBusy on
all routers.
There are two problems that I am having:
1)
I turned on tracing and I
keep getting a large number of interfaces been deferred( Deferring snmp
collection of BandwidthUtilHdx.1.17 on switch1) messages in the snmpcollect
trace file. I opened a pmr and was asked to email support the trace file. They
came back saying that if netview does not get a response from the device the
collections would be deferred. However, the customer also has a test Netview
box installed on Linux redhat 7.2 and is not seeing the same problem. Support
said that the next step would be to sniff the network and see what was
happening in the network. Has anyone else had this problem on Netview NT and
managed to find a solution to prevent a high number of deferrals? SNMPCollect
has been setup to write to flat files and sql. Collection intervals are set to
10mins and I have set the defer collections on down nodes to 10 min.
2)
When the customer does try
to view data for a specific router through the graph data option in Netview
the grapher only displays data from whenever it was last successfully
collected. So if a deferral happened at 10:00am and all collections after that
point are successful then the grapher would only display data from 10:00 am
onwards. Even if the data before 10:00am was successfully collected it would
not be displayed. Is this working as designed or am I missing something that
can be configured?
Thank you
Pritesh
