Hi Drew,
I would use quicktest instead of nmdemandpoll. quicktest does a status
polling exactly as netmon would do it: using either ping or snmp depending
how it is configured. nmdemandpoll takes a lot longer because of all the
configuration polling it does.
quicktest has to be executed for each node. For each interface of the node,
it will tell you either "Interface xx.xx.xx.xx(en9) is UP Responded to
ping" or "Interface xx.xx.xx.xx is Up: Admin Status=Up Oper Status=Up"

Hi all,
Our DNOC needs a report that shows what IP addresses are managed via SNMP
query versus ping. I searched the archives and it appears one can't get
this report using nvdbformat--isSNMPSupported is not an accurate indicator.
So, I'm getting the list of IP's that match isSNMPSupported=TRUE from
nvdbformat, then feeding the list into `ndmdemandpoll $hostname |grep "Get
SNMP status"`. This will do the job, but we all know nmdemandpoll kills CPU
if it takes any time at all to run. I have 1500 addresses to cycle through.
So, I figure I can kill nmdemandpoll if it's going to take longer than 15
seconds to finish, log the IP address that needed to be killed, then go
back to the loop. No problem, except I'm a novice ksh scripter, and having
trouble with co-processes (required to watch the nmdemandpoll PID because
nothing will occur until nmdemandpoll finishes, right?). If someone can
help me with the logic, I'll post the whole smash for everyone to use when
it's finished.
This works fine, just takes forever, and sends uptime values skyward. It
sets off NetIQ alerts for CPU utilization.
# Read in IP address list from NVout.report
# nv_getSNMPquerystatus.sh < NVout.report
while read ipAddress
do
nmdemandpoll $ipAddress | grep "Get SNMP status"
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "$ipAddress is currently monitored using SNMP query"
else
echo "$ipAddress is currently NOT monitored using SNMP query"
fi
done
Many thanks in advance to anyone with advice on how to finish this one off.
