There
is a lot of good information in here. I guess my only question would be is
how are the devices removed from the smartset? Looking at your information
below it seems the operator needs to run the Trap_Flag_Clear.sh (highlight nodes
/ OVwSelections) in order to clear the condition. From what I understood
from the original problem statement is that after a period of time, the devices
should be removed automatically.
Jason
I do that sort of thing like this:
1) add a field to my custom fields file
/usr/OV/fields/C/My.fields
Field
"My_Trap_Flag" {
Type String;
Flags locate, general;
}
Run 'ovw -fields' after messing with a fields file.
2) In trapd.conf, define the traps of interest as
having a trap source of 'Y' instead of the usual 'A' or 'u'
3) Make a Netview ruleset that with an Event Attribute
cube that checks trap source for 'Y' and invokes an action
'<path>/TrapFlag.sh -set $NVA'
4) Make that ruleset run in the background
(/usr/OV/conf/ESE.automation)
5) write
a little script TrapFlag.sh that uses nvdbimport to set the field
'My_Trap_Flag' to TRUE for the node that the trap is from.
6) On the reports menu (/usr/OV/reports/C) add two
scripts to call that script: TrapFlagSet.sh and TrapFlagClear.sh
Trap_Flag_Set.sh
#!/bin/ksh
#
Set trap flag to True for the selected nodes.
name=$(basename $0)
xnmappmon -geometry 680x500 -commandTitle
"$name" \
-commandHeading
"Setting Trap Flag to TRUE for Selected Nodes " \
-cmd <path>/TrapFlag.sh -set
$OVwSelections
Trap_Flag_Clear.sh
#!/bin/ksh
# Set Trap Flag to
false for the selected nodes.
name=$(basename $0)
xnmappmon -geometry 680x500 -commandTitle "$name" \
-commandHeading "Setting Trap Flag to
FALSE for Selected Nodes " \
-cmd <path>/TrapFlag.sh -clear $OVwSelections
Users can execute those functions against one or more
nodes selected on the map. Usually they would only use the clearing one. But
the setting one is handy for testing.
The job of the TrapFlag.sh script is to generate an import file that
looks like this:
Selection
Name,My_Trap_Flag
nodename,TRUE
(or FALSE on the clear)
and run
nvdbimport to set the values for the nodes selected on the map, or indicated
by the rule. See the man page for nvdbimport. There are samples in
/usr/OV/conf/nvdbtools.
Then make
your problem smartset include the criteria " || My_Trap_Flag=TRUE
The operators will know that green things
in the problem smartset are there because of traps. They should look up the
events for that node to see what they are. I usually provide another function
on that reports menu that does a grep in trapd.log for the selected node. You
could do the grep right from the script in /usr/OV/reports/C, but I usually
have it all another one in my custom scripts directory. The reason for this is
so I can offer the same function to web console users as I do to the Motif
users.
Cordially,

trap to change object attribute |

Jason,
I assumed that if we set attribute 'IP Status', then
it would get reset the
next time NetView polls the device. If we set
another attribute, then I
assume we will have to reset manually, or use a
clearing trap to reset the
attribute. Can an attribute be set to clear
after a certain period of time?
How would you suggest that we do
this?
Thanks.

It can be done (not sure how with smartsets
though). The theory being when
a BGP trap arrives, set a certain
status or set some other attribute.
However, when do you toggle the other
way? Meaning, after what interval do
you want a router to be removed
from the smartset?

Subject: [nv-l] using SNMP trap to change object
attribute
Hello,
System information:
OS - AIX
5.1
NetView - 7.1.3
FixPack3
We are currently using a Smartset to
view Routers that are either down or
unreachable. Here is the Smartset
rule: (('IP Status'='Critical') || ('IP
Status'='Unreachable'))
&&
('isRouter'=True)
Besides "Critical' and 'Unreachable',
we would also like this Smartset to
display routers that send BGP traps to
NetView. Is there any way to have an
incoming SNMP trap change the value of
'IP Status', or any other object
attribute? Is this the wrong use of a
Smartset?
Thanks.
