I am attempting to install and understand NetView (v7.14) and whilst I have successfully installed NetView and created an MLM, I have had a couple of concerns while configuring the product which I do not understand that I am hoping someone may be able to assist with.
I am constantly receiving two (2) types of messages;
The first one :
Wed Jul 20 13:01:41 2005 koguxap36 ? Trap found with no known format in trapd.conf(4) Enterprise systemsMonitor6000 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.12) community public
generic trap:6 specific trap:41
Timestamp:172534392 Agentaddr:koguxap36 args(4):
[1] 1.78.86.49.48.46.53.49.46.51.51.46.49.51.54.46.50 (OctetString): smMlmAliasState
[2] 1.78.86.49.48.46.53.49.46.51.51.46.49.51.54.46.50 (OctetString): NV10.51.33.136.2
[3] 1.78.86.49.48.46.53.49.46.51.51.46.49.51.54.46.50 (OctetString): enabled
[4] 1.78.86.49.48.46.53.49.46.51.51.46.49.51.54.46.50 (OctetString): invalid
What does this mean, the MIB is loaded (as it is listed in the trapd.conf file and via the MIB browser) yet these messages keep appearing. Am I missing a MIB that I am not aware of ?.
Can I confirm that the MIB required here is "ibm-sysmon6k.mib" ? I was on the understanding that it is loaded etc as part of the MLM deployment.
nb: Via the MIB browser, I can get down to 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.12 BUT I can only see trap "1" (smMlmAnalysisTable).
The second message I am constantly receiving :
1121907638 2 Thu Jul 21 11:00:38 2005 <none> T netmon-related Application reached maximum number of outstanding events, disconnecting from trapd
I have increased the queue from 2000 to 10000 (which only delayed the incomming messages) and also performed a trace of "trapd" which did not give me any clues to what is causing the "constant" stream of messages.
I have checked the NetView archive's and can see a few instances of this problem occurring and even a suggestion on modifying the midmand trap destination table and filtering mechanism which allows you to only forward you do want to trapd and throw away anything else. I assume this is part of and located in the MLM Configuration, however I am not sure how to set this up if this is the best way to resolve the problem.
And finally, how can I determine (via the trace) where the "excessive" traps are coming from so I can tweak it or stop them.
Thanks
