Hi Fawad,
Thanks for that tip on removing the /'s
Do you know how I can prevent Netview from changing the / to an underscore(_)?
It changes ATM2/0.100-aal5 to ATM2_0\.100\-aal5 and it's also changing values
like
Intel(R) PRO Adapter to Intel_R_ ?
Do you know what the AdditionalLegalTrapCharacter environment variable is for
and will it help with my problem above?
Thank You
Pritesh

Pritesh,
Netview adds \ for security reasons. You can drop them in Perl with following
line:
$NVATTR_3 =~ s/\\\//g;

Subject: [nv-l] Netview ruleset question
Hi List,
Environment: Netview V7.1.4 on Redhat Advanced Server2.1
I am trying to pass trap variables in the action node of my ruleset to an
external script(the script is a perl script). I call the script using the
action node and <full path>scriptname "$NVE" "$NVA" "$NVT" "$NVATTR_1"
"$NVATTR_2" "$NVATTR_3". When I print out the variables passed to the script I
noticed that some of the variables have been slightly modified. As an example
if I get an event for an ATM interface that has gone down, the event appears
correctly in the event desk(Interface ATM2/0.100-aal5 down) but when my script
prints this variable out to a file it is as follows:
ATM2_0\.100\-aal5 down
I was hoping to use the interface information to get certain mib variables
before doing a wpostzmsg to tec. But the slight modifications to the variables
is causing problems as I can't correlate the modified variable above with data
I get back from the devices using snmpget's. I tried echo'ing the variables in
a shell script (thinking it might be perl causing the problem) but the same
thing happens. If I look at the nvaction.alog they also appear "incorrectly" in
this trace file. The following is a few lines of the trace file:

What do the "Varbind contained an illegal character" messages mean? Has anyone
else had this problem?
Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
