Re: [nv-l] Database support on Linux for SNMP data collection for Historical reporting

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

NetView for UNIX uses the Tivoli RIM (Relational Database Interface
Manager) product for direct interaction with an RDBMS.  As of the
introduction of NetView 7.1, the was no RIM for Linux, so NetView 7.1.x for
Linux does not offer direct RDBMS support.  So that leaves you with two
choices, so far as I can see.

  You could install and use the Tivoli Data Warehouse, which only works
with DB2, or you could roll-your-own process by using the snmpColdump
command to dump the data to flat files on the NetView for Linux machine,
and then ftp them to an RDBMS somewhere for import.  You'd have to create
your own schema and import them there.

Hi List,

I want to know wether Netview 7.1.4 on Linux supports
database for storing SNMP data for historical
reporting, if yes what are the database supportes and
from where can I find the documentation
for integrating Netview on Linux with database.
