[nv-l] Ruleset action node problem

["Pritesh Jewan" <Pritesh@aptronics.co.za>]

Hi List,

 

Netview V7.1.4 on Redhat AS2.1

 

I have created a ruleset that has two event attribute nodes. Both attribute nodes connect to one action node each. The attribute nodes check for interface down and interface up events from netmon and the action node starts a perl script which extracts information from a flat file(that is a dump of the topo database) and then does a wpostemsg to TEC.

 

Everything seems to be working fine. The script is quick. If I run it manually it completes instantly and an event is posted to TEC. However, what I noticed is happening is that there are times when interface events arrive in trapd.log but my script is not executed. When I looked in nvaction.alog I can see the event attributes coming through for the events and then suddenly the following message appears 5-10 times:

 

2003/04/12 17:08:16   ./nl_Actionsvr.C[616] : 69 action command timed out.
2003/04/12 17:08:16   ./nl_Actionsvr.C[616] : 70 action command timed out.
2003/04/12 17:08:18   ./nl_Actionsvr.C[616] : 71 action command timed out.
2003/04/12 17:08:18   ./nl_Actionsvr.C[616] : 73 action command timed out.

2003/04/12 17:08:19   ./nl_Actionsvr.C[616] : 74 action command timed out.

2003/04/12 17:08:19   ./nl_Actionsvr.C[616] : 74 action command timed out.

 

How can I check what is holding actionsvr daemon? Is it possible that the script is been held up when it is executed by actionsvr?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
