Kelly,
I use the nvUtil command much line John suggested to get the number of
routers, switches/hubs, and servers. I use the following cmds in a shell
script:
# Total Counts
#
nvNodes=`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e "('isNode'=True)" | wc -l`
echo "Total number of nodes managed by NetView is: " $nvNodes > $tmpfile
nvRtrs=`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e "('isRouter'=True)" | wc -l`
echo "Total number of routers managed by NetView is: " $nvRtrs >> $tmpfile
nvSwitches=`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e "('isHub'=True)" | wc -l`
echo "Total number of switches/hubs managed by NetView is: " $nvSwitches >>
$tmp
file
nvServers=`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e "('isServer'=True)" | wc -l`
echo "Total number of servers managed by NetView is: " $nvServers >>
$tmpfile
Inorder for the Server count to work you must first setup an "isServer"
field in the database and then use nvdbimport to set this field to True for
each server. I set this field for each server that is monitored by
NetView. Something that helps me is that I only add devices to NetView
using a seedfile, I never use auto discovery so this is easy to maintain.
As far as locations go you could use Smartsets that mimick your locations.
Our device naming scheme allows me to run run similar cmds to those above
using nvUtil and the 'IP Hostname' attribute to get node counts per
location. Another thing to look at would be the sysLocation field of the
system MIB, assuming SNMP is enabled and these fields are set correctly.
Another way to get the number of routers (Gateways) is to use the following
command.
/usr/OV/bin/ovtopodump -l |grep ^NUMBER |sed 's/NUMBER OF//'|sed 's/:/:/'
The output is below.
NETWORKS: 5563
SEGMENTS: 5579
NODES: 2739
INTERFACES: 9873
GATEWAYS: 1312

I need to find out how many routers and servers Netview manages. What is
the command?
I also need a report on what Netview is managing in a specific location.
What is the command to get this information?
