Yes, servmon causes status change events
to be generated if you have configured it properly.

Yes. In fact I am monitoring
this device now through Servmon for certain port status. Hope event still
will generated when NetView/Servmon fail to obtain the port status.
 
Hope, answer is yes.
 
Thanks

The Unmanage of the interface only tells netmon not to poll it for IP status.
The interface card will not contribute to the status of the node object
at the IP Internet level of the map or submap.

If the device is sending SNMP traps to the Netview server, those will still
be received. I assume that is what you mean.

Thanks for your help! I have loaded the device, unmanged the interface
and added into servmon.conf for monitor particular port status.
  
I have a small query here. After un-managing a device or interface, can
we expected events from that device?
  
Please help! 
  
Thanks

Yes, well, I always say, if you want to manage something, it has to be
managaBLE. 

But yes, there is the service manager function that can discover and test
ports. You will have to add the node to the map in the first place, manually,
with an ip address. You will have to unmanage the IP interface card. Then
monitor its status by the status of the port check.  Read about it
in the admin guide.

Subject	[NV-L] Bringing Device under monitoring without ICMP/SNMP

 

 

Hi Team,

I am planning to bring a device under monitoring purview of Netview 7.1.5. The challenge here is (may be just for me), I don’t have either ICMP and SNMP Access to the subject device, but I still have access to some of its critical port.

How can I bring this device under monitoring with just port access?

Expert advise is anticipated.

Thanks
Senny
