RE: [NV-L] Traps by hostname

["Santhanakrishnan Janakiraman (IT Services), Chennai" <santhanakrishnanjn@hcl.in>]

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you said but my question is whether i can able to get two entries at the same time in trapd.log, one with IP address and another with hostname when an event occurs.

 

Thanks & Regards

If you get a NetView trap which is not resolved, then you have a DNS problem. Most likely the reverse look-up, IP address to hostname, is missing. Both netmon and trapd do everything they can to use hostnames rather than IP addresses in the traps which netmon sends and trapd displays. If a NetView trap, e.g., Node Down, shows up in trapd.log with an IP address instead of a hostname, then it's a fact that netmon's gethostbyaddr call failed to provide one.

The same is true for a non-NetView trap. If a non-NetView trap is shown in trapd.log with an IP address rather than a hostname, then trapd's gethostbyaddr call failed to provide one.

Try using the nvgethost command in /usr/OV/bin. You should get the same results when you use the hostname and when you sue the IP address. If they differ, then you have a problem to resolve.
