Greg,
The interface names are different from the nodenames so looks like an external script will be needed.
Thank you for the help, much appreciated!

Hi Ahsan,
NetView does not store a hostname with Interface entries. The best you can do is the hostname for the Node the interface is in. The short version of a .format file for that would look like this:
### example format file start ###
### File: interfacestatus.format
### Usage: /usr/OV/bin/nvdbformat -f interfacestatus.format
SELECTRULE:isInterface=TRUE
# Ignore Interfaces without an IP Address associated with them..
SELECTRULE:IP Address^Null
SELECTFIELD:1:TopM Node ID:IP Hostname
SELECTFIELD:2:IP Address
SELECTFIELD:3:IP Status
GROUPBY:1:TopM Node ID:IP Hostname
SORTBY:1:IP Address
OUTPUT: ${1}, ${2}, ${3}
### example format file end ###
If for some reason your site has different IP Hostnames for each interface defined in the DNS, then you would need to use something like this without the "TopM Node ID:IP Hostname" parts (so you just get the IP Address and Status of each interface), and then run the result through an outside script that does a DNS query for each IP address.
Hope this helps.

Hi Greg,
Is there a way to get a list of interface names (the hostname the reverse lookup of the IP resolves to) and their current status?
I've only been able to get Null and not the interface's reverse lookup name.
### example format file start ###
### File: nodestatus.format
### Usage: /usr/OV/bin/nvdbformat -f nodestatus.format
SELECTRULE:isInterface=TRUE
SELECTFIELD:1:IP Hostname
SELECTFIELD:2:IP Status
OUTPUT: ${1}, ${2}
### example format file end ###
Thanks!

Hi Usman,
There are a few simple ways this can be done. I'm using UNIX syntax, so you may need to slightly modify for Windows.
You could use the smartset utility:
/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e '((isNode = true) && (("IP Status" = Normal) || ("IP Status" = Critical)))' '%Selection Name%,%IP Status%'
Or create a smartset with the rules you want (such as above) and run:
/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil l smartsetname
Alternatively, you could use a format file and the nvdbformat utility:
/usr/OV/bin/nvdbformat -f nodestatus.format
Here is an example of a format file that will list all nodes with there status, sorted into groups by status:
### example format file start ###
### File: nodestatus.format
### Usage: /usr/OV/bin/nvdbformat -f nodestatus.format
SELECTRULE:isNode=TRUE
SELECTFIELD:1:IP Hostname
SELECTFIELD:2:IP Status
#
GROUPBY:IP Status
SORTBY:1:IP Hostname
#
HEADER:Nodes Report:
HEADER:-------------
HEADER:
#
GROUPHEADER:Status: ${GROUPNAME} - ${NUMMATCH}
GROUPHEADER:IP Hostname, IP Status
GROUPHEADER:_____________________________________________
#
OUTPUT: ${1}, ${2}
#
### example format file end ###
Hope this helps.
