Re: [nv-l] Need confirmation of event description

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

I don't quite understand the nature of your difficulty.  nvsniffer was
officially replaced by servmon in 7.1.4, but is still shipped for those who
wish to use it.  Their functions are the same, but servmon is a daemon and
nvsniffer a process you must schedule yourself using cron.   They generate
the same events and the doc no longer mentions nvsniffer because it is
deprecated.  In some future release ti will not be shipped.   I believe the
introduction of servmon was covered in the 7.1.4 Release Notes.

Dear list,

I have upgraded two Netview systems (exactly same SunOS) from 7.1.2 to
7.1.4 FP3 last December. I found now in the netView600 internal event
IBM_SUP_EV (Specific 58916975) with one system state (event description):

This event is generated by the nvsniffer application when a Service
has transitioned to a Normal status.

And the other state:

This event is generated by the servmon daemon when a Service
has transitioned to a Normal status.

Actully the same (different description) for IBM_SDWN_EV (Specific
58916976).

My question is that are they identical (for both nvsniffer and servmon)???
Please help.

Regards,
David
