Hi Ahsan,
I have found many "event log monitor" tools that would indeed do the
automation for me locally - problem is none are free (or even cheap for
that matter) Since Netview is already paid for I was trying to leverage
that resource. You've hit it precisely on the head - I want the flow to
be this
1) Event occurs written to log
2) SNMPtrap sent to Netview
3) SNMPset sent back to originating server (thru ruleset or event
config) - calling script or executing exact command (IISReset)
I am capable of 1 & 2 but have no idea how to issue and snmpset that
will "kickoff" the command on the windows system.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Glen

Hi Glen,
Maybe its because I am seriously sleep deprived right now and a bit
dense but are you looking for a way to send an SNMP SET from Netview
to the Windows system and are having trouble using the SNMP agent on
Windows to do what you want?
If all you need to do is restart IIS if that specific log entry is
found maybe you can just do this locally on the Windows machine itself
without involving Netview for the reset command?
Or if you're looking for a way to take action on the Windows system
from Netview and cant think of the transport mechanism or are having
trouble with the Windows SNMP agent, you could enable the telnet
server on Windows and use an "expect" script to connect to the Windows
system and do whatever you need? I dont know how usable the Windows
telnet prompt is but I am sure it can be used to restart a service!
If you need to do a bunch of things like this, you might want to look
into IBM Tivoli Monitoring - a hell of a lot easier to work with! :)
