Re: [nv-l] Specific traps to a different log

[Francois Le Hir <flehir@ca.ibm.com>]

If you want more information about the traps than what is available in
trapd.log (and you don't want to change the message of the events) you can
use the "command for automatic action" and look at all the env variables
that are made available to the script you run. Running a script with just
the set command redirected to a file will show you what is available,

I think you'd be better off just post -processing the trapd.log. grep for
the records you want and log 'em
grep <unique_trap_string> /usr/OV/log/trapd.log > my.trap.log


You see trapd uses undocumented internal routines to read the trapd.conf
file and merge that with the trap variables to produce the text you see in
the trapd.log. You'd have to write your own script to do that.
Post-processing is much better. It keeps the original log intact and let's
you make another at your leisure., a lot less overhead

Hello All,


I am running Netview 7.1.4 fixpatch1 on AIX 5.1


I would like to log a specific trap into a different file besides
trapd.log. I think I can use the "Command for Automatic Action" option
within the trap configuration. But what is the command I should use? I
would like for the log file to contain all of the same information that is
written to trapd.log.


Thanks for your help,


Charlie Clinkscales
