RE: [nv-l] events from netview

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

This is a huge area and you cannot make
changes to it without doing some research.

I recommend that you start by reading
the TEC Event Adapters Guide.  The NetView for Windows adapter is
built on that model.  It works almost the same as the OpenView adapter
written by TEC, and some of the code is a direct port of that.  The
only real difference is that NetView for Windows has smartset filtering
for the events that are sent, if you choose to configure it.

You control what events get sent to
TEC by the \usr\ov\conf\tecad_nv6k.conf file.  You can edit this manually
to configure it  or use the tecconfig.bat java configurator. It allows
you to select events which are defined to the tecad_nv6k.cds file.  If
you need new events added that aren't in the CDS, then you will have to
 define those by editing the file.  You also have to configure
the tecad_nv6k_oid file if the Event Object Identifier ( the OID or enterprise
id) of the event you want is not already present.   To use smartset
filtering you configure tecSmartsetFilter.conf.  Everything but the
conf file must be edited by hand.

To get a log or a trace of what the
adapter is doing you configure the tecad_nv6k.err file, and replace the
/dev/null  destination for each class of event you want logged.  It's
possible to trace everything but then the resulting log becomes unreadable.
  If you want to see what events are going to TEC, configure the TECIO
low-level and verbose options.   

There are also plenty of postings about
this in the nv-l archives,. There are searchable archives at http://lists.skills-1st.co.uk/mharc/html/nv-l/
maintained by one of the users.

Our setup is on Windows.

Is there any way to control events sent to TEC.

That depends on whether you are on Windows or UNIX.
The TEC adapters are radically different on each platform and no logs are kept by default on either one.

Hi all,

When the servers are restarted Netview is receiving traps from the switch that “interface down”.

How ever I could not see this on TEC.

How I can find out that what are the events Netview is forwarding to TEC.

Where I have to configure on Netview that particular events to be sent  to TEC.

Thanks.
