Re: [nv-l] MAP ICONS ALWAYS GREEN

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

There is a very good way to do this
with Netview. First, make a smartset for nodes with problems. The criteria
would be:
( IP Status is Marginal or  IP
Status is Critical)
and
isNode is True

Problems will automatically appear in
that smartset.
When you notice a problem, you can find
the node there. You can drill down into it, to the interface cards, and
use the 'Options..Acknowledge' function. That will make the node turn green,
and make the whole map green, but it still has an IP Status of Critical
or Marginal, so it remains in the smartset.
Because the map is green, new problems
will make it turn yellow again.

I've implemented this arrangement at
dozens of different customers, and it seems to suit them.

Cordially,

Subject	[nv-l] MAP ICONS ALWAYS GREEN

Hi Folks,
I am running NV 7.1.3 SOLARIS.
 
My Client would like the following scenario
to be possible:
Let's say a Device interface ce0 goes down,
normally the IP Internet Icon will be yellow, and you could drill down
all the way to the faulty interface being red. 
My client wants to have the "IP Internet"
icon green all the time because he wants to know when a new incident has
happened and use the change of color of the “IP Internet icon” to detect
a new incoming event that needs attention, i.e. he likes to have the "IP
Internet" icon, turn yellow if and only if a new incident or event
after which the Operator will drill down and locate the failed object,
then drag the failed object onto a “holding Area” or on the same Map
as the “IP Internet” icon.

Q1: Any Solutions?


Thank You,
Meyos
