Re: [nv-l] problem with realtime plotting of expressions with graph.exe

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

Two questions:

(1) If you query this same device for BandwidthUtilIn using the MIB Browser, does it respond with data?
(2) Have you already been collecting BandwidthUtilIn data with snmpCollect? To draw a graph of something like BandwidthUtilIn you need a value for the delta, for change over unit time, which means you'd need at least two data points to begin with.

Subject	[nv-l] problem with realtime plotting of expressions with graph.exe

Hi all

we are using netview 7.1.4 over windows 2000 server

when I apply the following command:
graph.exe -mib 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10::1:::::: 10.10.1.1

graph.exe window is opened and plots ifInOctets of instance 1 for 10.10.1.1 node

when I put instead of mib OID an _expression_ like following command

graph.exe -mib BandwidthUtilIn::1:::::: 10.10.1.1

graph.exe window is opened for about 10 seconds then it is closed with out giving any error message or logging any thing in nv.log
when I use a wrong _expression_ name it gives an error "could not convert _expression_ or mib variable"
this means that graph resolves the BandwidthUtilIn correctly.

thanks for your help
