Re: [nv-l] Pb with messages on NV 7.1.4

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Well, Maxine, you may have to open a problem to support, because your test
works just fine on my  AIX box, with the same level of NetView.

I defined the trap in trapd.conf just as you did,
%PM-4-ERR_DISABLE {1.3.6.1.4.1.9999} 6 8000 A 4 0 "Error Events"
$2
SDESC
[chars] error detected on [chars], putting [chars] in err-disable state.
EDESC

And then I sent a dummy with snmptrap.  I deduced how yours had to look from 
the nvserverd.log message.  Here's what I executed:
#!/bin/ksh
#
# shell script trick.  This syntax ${destination:-$mymachine} says
# use $mymachine if $destination is null.
destination=$1
sender=$2
mymachine=`hostname`
/usr/OV/bin/snmptrap  \
  ${destination:-$mymachine}  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9999  \
  ${sender:-$mymachine}  6 8000 1 \
  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9999.1.0  OctetStringascii "PM-4-ER R_DISABLE" \
  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9999.2.0  OctetStringascii "link-flap error detected on 
Fa1/0/10, putting Fa1/0/10 in err-disable state"

And I got what I expected in trapd.log,
1125065593 2  Fri Aug 26 10:13:13 2005 whiskey                   A link-flap 
error detected on Fa1/0/10, putting Fa1/0/10 in err-disable state

And in nvserverd.log,
08/26/05 10:13:14
TEC_ITS_BASE;source=nvserverd;sub_source=A;origin=9.27.144.49;hostname=whiskey;adapter_host=whiskey.raleigh.ibm.com;category=1;date="08/26/05
10:13:14";severity=CRITICAL;status=OPEN;msg="link-flap error detected on 
Fa1/0/10, putting Fa1/0/10 in err-disable state
";nv_enterprise=maxine_test;nv_generic=6;nv_specific=8000;nv_var1="PM-4-ER 
R_DISABLE";nv_var2="link-flap error detected on Fa1/0/10, putting Fa1/0/10
in err-disable state";END

So unless your test trap script didn't send what mine did, I have no idea what 
went wrong.  If  after examining what you did, you still cannot figure
it out, I suggest a call to Support.

Hello all,

I've just installed a new server with 7.1.4 FP3 on AIX.
As usual I use my addtrap script to add my specific traps
and check in the /C/trap.conf to see if the result was correct
%PM-4-ERR_DISABLE {1.3.6.1.4.1.9999} 6 8000 A 4 0 "Error Events"
$2
SDESC
[chars] error detected on [chars], putting [chars] in err-disable state.
EDESC

Then I send a trap to test my addtrap command.

The result in the trapd.log was correct

1125061147 2 Fri Aug 26 14:59:07 2005 Test device       A link-flap error
detected on Fa1/0/10, putting Fa1/0/10 in err-disable state

but on the control desk I did not see the message???? only the 2 field Test
Device A and the rest of the line is blank.

In the nvserd.log I found that the field msg  was empty. But normally with
my trap description msg field should be equal to $2. It was the normal
behaviour in 7.1.3?

08/26/05 14:59:07
TEC_ITS_BASE;source=nvserverd;sub_source=A;origin=10.10.4.51;hostname=test
Device;adapter_host=192.168.254.220;category=1;date="08/26/05
14:59:07";severity=CRITICAL;status=OPEN;msg="

 error detected on Fa1/0/10, putting Fa1/0/10 in err-disable state";END

Can someone explain me what is the problem and how can I my message back on
my GUI.

Cordialement.
