Re: [nv-l] Events Workspace in NV 7.1.3

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

I think you should think this through
a bit more.  This is not as simple as you suppose.

The Enterprise ID of a trap is almost
never the sysOID of the box.  And for NetView traps it never will
be.  The sysOID identifies the box OS, AIX, Solaris, Windows, etc.
 The trap is most likely from some other agent.  In the case
of the NetView traps you mention, they will all have 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3
as their Enterprise ID because they are sent by NetView, but the sysOIDs
could all be different.  NetView sends the same trap no matter what
the host operating system is.   And it is never a trap attribute,
so the answer to your question #3, is "none of them".  

Since your traps will not have the sysOID
as part of them, you will have to figure that out in some other way.  One
way would be to build smartsets, either on the sysOID itself or on the
vendor field that NetView sets as a result of that. 

So you could then build a ruleset of
the sort
        Event
Stream(block) --> Trap Settings (for the NetView enterprise and select
the ones you want) --> QuerySmartset (attribute 2 for NetView traps)
--> Foward

Or you could generate a list of hosts
from your smartset using "nvUtil l <smartsetname>"  and
use that to build a filter with the Filter editor, filtered.

Thanks Jane,
I am having a problem about the event matching configuration.
 
1- I want to create a workspace for a specific device
type with sysObjectID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.xx.yy.zz for example
2- I want All events (Treshold, Node UP, Node Down, etc
..) and All Traps from that Device type to be displayed on that Workspace
 
3- What Attributes represents  the sysObjectID? is
it the EntrepriseID?
 
4- What about when  you want to display events from
all Devices from the same vendor, can youu use "Greater or equal to"
selection?
 
5- Any suggestions
 
6- any *.rs file sample would help.
 
 
 


Thank You,
Meyos
