RE: [nv-l] Has anyone implemented the full TEC integration (correlation rules) NV 7.1.4 and TEC 3.9

["Van Order, Drew \(US - Hermitage\)" <dvanorder@deloitte.com>]

I started on it last night, and it does have some very useful information. Unfortunately the NV side is where I am struggling the most; namely the trap configurations and NV forwarding ruleset. Until that is understood and confirmed configured correctly to match what TEC expects it's tough to tell how well the TEC rule is working. I just opened a sev 3 PMR; also offered to help write any documentation that could be considered a guide. Like most IT folks, I don't have the luxury of focusing on one project at a time, and really need to slam and jam when solutions are deemed shrink wrap.

 

Thanks for looking into this!

Drew,
        I don't know if you have looked at it yet but you might want to check out the TEC 3.9 Rule Set Reference

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/tec/SC32-1282-00/en_US/PDF/ecosmst.pdf

It goes into detail about what all the rulesets do (including netview.rls)

thanks,

If there is a single document, can someone point me to it? I've found pieces and parts in the different manuals, but it's not working out of box (as advertised by our sales team):

• Netview.baroc and netview.rls in rulebase
• Netview6000 traps in NV ruleset TEC adapter uses
• Netview6000 traps have TEC_ITS event classes mapped in xnmtrap

Events reach TEC, but severities do not make sense, and I'm sure this means any change rules in the ruleset will not execute. For example, TEC_ITS_INTERFACE_STATUS is HARMLESS at TEC, yet message is interface xxx is down. However, I have a SEGMENT_STATUS and NETWORK_STATUS event as WARNING in TEC, but the message indicates they are up. The netview6000 traps are set from previous versions where TEC classes were OV_. I directly edited TEC classes for each trap in xnmtrap, but I think this issue pertains to TEC slots that are not being passed in the trap or matching what the TEC rule expects.

We are trying to replace TFNC, which has been worth every penny. Do I need to feed the netview6000 MIB through mib2trap again--and will this populate xnmtrap properly? What's the name of the mibfile that contains the netview6000 OID?

Sorry for all the questions--since this integration crosses NV and TEC boundaries, I'm not sure if a PMR will get me anywhere. I think I'm getting close, but there has to be an easier way.

Thanks--Drew
