Thanks James,
What about the following workaround at NV Client
startup:
1- Query my "CISCO_DOWNS" smartset for every device
that is Down in that smartset.
2- use the command "event ..." to regenerate the "Node
Down" events ....
Q1: what do you think of the idea?
Q2: is there a command to query a smartset for devices
status?
Q3: any other suggestion?
