RE: [NV-L] SNMP polling config file(s)

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Read the other responses as well. I
answered too quickly. 
As James suggests, you should use the
GUI to update xnmsnmpconf on both systems to make sure they are the same,
that is, both systems have snmp access to all devices. That dialog also
controls the status polling frequency and timeouts. Transfering that configuration
from one system to another is tricky and not worth the trouble. I've done
it. That changes less frequently, and keeping them in synch should not
be too big a burden.

But to transfer the polling settings
for data collection and thresholding, snmpCol.conf should do it. Stop/start
snmpCollect to pick up the changes.

Thank you for the very quick response.
 Do I have to shut down daemons before I transfer the file?

/usr/OV/conf/snmpCol.conf 
If you are on windows, the path is similar.

Subject	[NV-L] SNMP polling config file(s)

Hello,

We have 2 NetView servers running 7.15 FP1 and they are not automatically synchronized.

When I make changes to the polling cycle for individual devices or smartsets in one server <from gui - options, SNMP Configuration>, I have to duplicate the changes in the other server. I would rather just transfer the file(s) after I make changes on the first server.

Can anyone help me identify the file(s) to transfer?

Do I need to stop daemons before the transfer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Kevin Sperry
