Re: [nv-l] trap acknowledge

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

It would really help when you ask a
how-to question if you would mention whether you are using NetView for
Windows or NetView for UNIX and at what level on which operating system.
 The answers can be platform-specific.  In this case I can give
you a generic answer but a specific one would require knowing what platform
you are working on and at what level of NetView exactly.

The short answer to your question is
that trap correlation is achieved using rulesets.  These are implemented
on both UNIX and Windows but the implementation is rather different.  It
is much more complicated to do on Windows because there is no native ruleset
editor, whereas on UNIX there is a graphical editor you can use to build
the ruleset.   There is extensive documentation on how to do event
correlation in the UNIX Administrator's Guide and it is discussed in the
Windows User's Guide as well.

Hope this helps

Subject	[nv-l] trap aknowledge

Hi all,

I have a question about trap handling.
How can i manage the trap "correlation" ?
Example : I receive a trap "alarm 10 up", and 10 minutes later,
I 
receive a trap "alarm 10 down".
In the event browser, is it a possibility to aknowledge the "alarm
10 
up", or to remove it ?

Thank you all,
