RE: [nv-l] DNS or hosts file resolution

["Evans, Bill" <Bill.Evans@hq.doe.gov>]

A slight extension to Jane's suggestion which, by the way, works perfectly. Cut and paste this to a shell script (or a single line) and you can avoid the typing.  The command will add the rule where the SmartSet editor won't allow cut and paste.  (Subject for a customer requirement). 

nvUtil a NotInDNS "Hosts not in DNS"  \
 "('IP Hostname' ~ '[1-9]{1,3}\.[1-9]{1,3}\.[1-9]{1,3}\.[1-9]{1,3}')"

PS, it even displayed the entries where I manually changed the label displayed on the icons.

Incidentally, I normally setup a non-DNS SmartSet that catches any hosts
that NetView finds that isn't in the DNS.  If you have dome the 5-day
NetView class, you will have seen this.  It's a horrible regular
_expression_ to type correctly but you basically create a SmartSet of
nodes whose hostname field is an IP address.  The _expression_ you want is
(I hope):
  ~   ^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$
