Re: [nv-l] servmon - Slot with service

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Yes. I'd suggest submitting an enhancement
request. Any event that Netview generates that can be correlated at the
TEC should have the correlatable fields in separate slots. They did put
the ip address of the down interface in a separate slot for this reason.
The new ones for services should get the same treatment. 

Cordially,

Hi Martina,
As far as I know, you can only map complete TRAP variables to TEC 
slots.  I can think of 2 approaches:
1) Run an automated action for this TRAP which parses out the second 
token of the 3rd variable and generates a new TEC event using 
wpostemsg.  Deconfigure sending the original TRAP to TEC.  You
obviously 
need to define your new TEC event with an extra attribute for the dead
service name - I would perhaps put it at the end of netview.baroc.

2) Run an automated action for this TRAP which again parses out the 
second token of the 3rd variable and generates a new TRAP to your 
NetView with the relevant information that you really want in it.  Once
tested, customise your original service TRAP to be LOGONLY and not to be
forwarded to TEC and customise your new TRAP to forward to TEC, mapping
the variables as you want them. Same comment applies re modifying 
netview.baroc.

I guess the 2nd solution is a more architecturally clean solution but 
probably takes more processing.

Any other ideas??

Cheers,
Jane
