Thread-topic: [NV-L] Trap description not in a varbind
Hi James,
 
Thanks for the info.  I don't think I was clear in what I need exactly.
 
1. Is there a variable that exists that contains the whole message string as it appears in trapd.log. I know the $3 and $5  are accessible individually
    via  varbinds. I wanted to pass this whole string exactly in one variable.
 
"The enclosure enclosure460 fan in rack USE063471P has been"
 
 
2. I know that I can modify the automated action to pass the string above directly to a script. This will not work for me because my rules
    require this sequence  "Event stream--> Smartset query --> Trap match--> Inline action script"
 
    Is there a way to encode the string in a variable and pass it along with the varbinds which I can then use in my inline action script.
    I've seen a previous post of a perl script that interrogates trapd.conf to get the string, but I was hoping I didn't have to go that route.

You reference those as $NVATTR_3 and $NVATTR_5 in the script and execute the script in a Action node. When the Action node fires it will create a new shell with root authority and export all the trap variables in this way. This is covered in the Chapter on Event Customization in the NetView Admin Guide. Look there for more details.

Thanks Francois,

If I execute a script via a ruleset how does the script get the vars $3 $5?

      You can configure an automatic action for that trap with the parameters you need ($3 and $5) in xnmtrap. You can also execute a script in a ruleset.

      [NV-L] Trap description not in a varbind

      How do I get the trap description string as shown in the trap.log sent to a script?

      I am working with an HP c-class device using compaq mib .1.3.6.1.4.1.232 on Netview 7.1.4

      The trapd.log shows:

      1181068515 3 Tue Jun 05 14:35:15 2007 bl460
      A The enclosure enclosure460 fan in rack USE063471P has been removed.

      The varbinds look like this:

      1181068515 3 Tue Jun 05 14:35:15 2007 bl460 A Trap: compaq generic 6 specific 22011
