Hi folks,
I have a very special problem, i guess.
Most administrators of servers send a "Maintenance
Mode" to the TEC for the reason, that all Events for this Node get ignored for a
while.
They send a wpostemsg with the simple Hostname like
"un031e00".
The NetView-Server sends a "Node Down" Event with a
full qualified Name like "un031e00.service.domain.de"
Now the "two Names" are not identic so the
Maintenance Mode is not able to operate and we get undesired
alarms.
The domains are not really important for us because
allready the "Simple Hostname" is unique.
Finally we thought about cutting off the
domain.
What is better:
strip the Hostname in a Ruleset
(how could I influence the slot
"hostname")
or
strip the Hostname at the TEC
(has anybody knowhow of
"prolog")
(I would need a rule which
cuts nothing
if the the string is numeric (IP-Adress)
and
cuts after
the first "." (Hostname + Domain))
All ideas make me happy
Bye
Martina
