Re: [NV-L] Netview truncating trap variables at 249 chars

[sean.lawrence@cantire.com]

This is in Netview AIX. The trap is truncated in the event display and the 
trapd.log. It is being assumed that Ciscoworks is sending the full value. 
Ciscoworks is directly mailing the network admin and the full string is 
there.

Depends on where this occurs.   NetView for UNIX or Windows?

Truncating it where?  In the Event display?  In trapd.log?  In TEC?

249 is an odd number.  The maximum length of  a varbind that trapd will
support in this version is 512 characters, and I have tested this many
times.  But it makes a difference where and how the results are displayed.

I am implementing the CISCO-EPM-NOTIFICATION-MIB and field
cenAlarmDescription (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.311.1.1.2.1.16249) contains for than
249 characters. Netview is truncating this field. Is there a setting I can
change to prevent this?
