I have done some sort of popup notification to a Windows Web Client with a
Netview installation on Linux with Samba. You could use "smbclient -M" to
send messages as a windows-popup from a script from the server to the
client.

My vote would be to make this a feature. It would be nice to be able to do
some preprocessing of the trap messages before they are displayed in the
event browser or as a Popup Message. I would rather see this in the native
interface first. In my opinion the WEB interface is far from being complete.
I will not touch the WEB interface until it provides exactly all the
features of the native interface.

Is there any chance we would one day have this type of feature in the web
console ? ie select an event and execute a specific action, or issue a popup
in the web console

The short answer is "no".

The long answer is that you would have to do something clever, such as set
that trap to "Don't Log or Display" (or "Log Only" if you want a record of
it) and then configure a Command for Automatic Action which would pass the
trap variables to a script of your own making, which would do the math and
re-issue the trap, with a different specific id, using snmptrap.  That's the
one  you would want to display in the nvevents window.

Another alternative would be if you are willing to let the operator
intervene and select the original trap in the nvevents window, and cause the
math to happen in a pop-up window.  That's called "configuring an additional
action" in xnmtrap.  The man page on trapd.conf will tell you what variables
you pass to your script (they are different from the $1, $2, etc you specify
for trapd because you are dealing not with the trap any more but with the
formatted message in the event window) and you can massage them there and
have  the script tell the operator whatever you wish.  To drive it, the
operator selects the event in the window, pulls down "Options --> Additional
Actions --> Selected" and then picks the action he wants from the list.
When he picks yours, the script would run in a popup window which would
display the output to him.

I hope this is clear.

Greetings all,

I have read through most of the documentation that I can find about traps
and events, did not see any real information on the following maybe someone
knows the answer.

in the xnmtrap area can I do any type of math.   meaning I have a trapt hat
comes in where $1 = some number.   I want the msg to to say like $1/1000
and give the result of it.   Is this possible inside the xnmtrap msg area.
Basically can I do any math in the msg statement using {} or anything?

Thanks
Chris Petrina
