Mario,
Good
Morning,
I´m
not sure, but I think the Windows version (all of them) does not allow this kind
of thing.
There
are some samples of rules already confgured, but there isnt´t a tool like
RuleSet Editor.
A
workaround could be configuring the rule on a Unix box then sending to Windows
one.
Best
regards,
Marcos

Hi,
Where do I configure this in a NetView 7.1.4 for Windows ? I could not find
the file mentioned by you guys anywhere in the NV server.
Thanks.
This is what I always put in /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre
since these characters show up in interface names quite a bit:
AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters="_/"
export AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters
A restart of ovspmd is required for this to take
effect. My action scripts then only have to deal with the escape characters.
Cordially,
Leslie A. Clark

Pritish,
Following is
the excerpt from Netview 7.1.3 Release Notes. This should answer your
questions:
The ovactiond, nvcorrd
and actionsvr daemons now filter out all non
alphanumeric characters except for
the minus sign (-) and the decimal point ( . ).
All characters not falling into
this set are replaced with an underscore ( _ ). If a
Tivoli NetView for UNIX Version
7.1.3 Release Notes 29
minus sign or decimal point is encountered it is escaped (for example,
preceded
by a
backslash (\)) as a precaution. If any non-alphanumeric character is
encountered, and
filtering is not disabled, a message is entered into the
appropriate log file
(/usr/OV/log/nvcorrd.alog, /usr/OV/log/ovactiond.log, and
/usr/OV/log/nvaction.alog).
The user can customize this
behavior by using an environment variable called
AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters. If
the user sets this variable to disable, then no
filtering is done. If the user
sets this environment variable to a string containing
non alphanumeric characters, then
the filtering will allow those characters to also
pass through the filter, but they
are escaped. The best method for setting an
environment variable for an ovspmd
controlled daemon is to put the definition of
the env! ironment variable into
the /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre file, then stop and
restart all the daemons (using
netnmrc to restart).

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;

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 <f! ull
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 pro! blem)
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.
