Re: [nv-l] Interface Events with interface description

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

You cannot display what isn't sent, and so far as I know, the Threshold arm event, 58720263, which is what you configured as BandwidthUtilHdx, does not send the interface name. It is generated for all kinds of thresholds not just for the BandwidthUtilHdx collection, so I don't think any one of the 5 varbinds is related to the interface name nor address, though not being the snmpCollect expert I cannot say for certain.

But Interface Down and Interface Up do send both the Interface name and the IP address in separate varbinds. The Interface name is in varbind 8. The IP address is in varbind 7. So you just have to change the trap definition for them.
Use xnmtrap and change the Log message for 58916866 and 58916866 from just
$3
to something like this
$3 Name = $8, IP Address = $7

Subject	[nv-l] Interface Events with interface description

NV 7.1.3 FP3, SOLARIS
 I would like Netview to generate events with the
interface description attribute for events such as
BandwidthUtilHdx, Interface Down(58916867) .... Any Ideas?
