RE: [nv-l] FW: Placing data from script into netview event window

["Barr, Scott" <Scott_Barr@csgsystems.com>]

Patrick I understand using a script to get trap data out of a trap using environment variables. The only way I know of to put data into the event window would be to create a trap. Here is a PERL example I use and my data is accurately displayed in the event window:

 

This example assumes $HOSTNAME is a valid NetView hostname.

 

# -------------------------------------------------------------------

# --- SubRoutine SendUpTrap ($USER) ---

# -------------------------------------------------------------------

sub SendUpTrap

{

# $USER is a vpn concentrator connection/user name

# $STATE is either "Connected" or "Disconnected"

 

my $USER = $_[0];

my $STATE = $_[1];

 

$TRAP = "/usr/OV/bin/snmptrap " . $HOSTNAME .

" .1.3.6.1.4.1.10000 \"\" 6 101 0 " .

".1.3.6.1.4.1.10000.1.1 octetstring \"VPN Event\" " .

".1.3.6.1.4.1.10000.1.2 octetstring \"$USER\" " .

".1.3.6.1.4.1.10000.1.3 octetstring \"$STATE\" ";

 

system "$TRAP" ;

}

 

In this example, $USER and $STATE appear in the event viewer.

I am having problems getting variable data from a script into the netview event window.
Anyone on this list care to share some examples?

Thanks Patrick
